NOTE: this is part two of I was almost killed then they came. You don't have to read that one first but if you want more understanding then please do. I wrote this before the sixth book came out so don't be surprised if it's completely different. The person who dies at the end of the half blood prince is still alive in this story and Fudge is still minister of magic. Enjoy it anyway! And remember to review at the end!

Chapter 2

Harry woke a little earlier than he would have like the next morning due to scraping noises coming from the room next door. He groaned and covered his head with a pillow as he remembered Jenna.

The scraping noise became louder and finally Harry flung himself out of bed, knowing that today would be horrible. Later that night he had to go to the ministry with Lupin and Tonks to get his 'of age' certificate and do his apparition test.

Instead of getting dressed, he slouched off to the bathroom down the hall.

Grimmauld place had three bathrooms. One downstairs, one on the second landing which Harry kept to himself and one on the next floor which Lupin and Sirius shared.

The first change he noticed in his little bathroom was the pink, wet towel tossed across his own towel. He groaned and tossed the intruding towel on the floor near the door before getting in the shower.

When he got out he noticed a purple toothbrush on the sink. He threw it on top of the towel and opened his cabinet to get his razor out. There was a chick's razor in there, plus female deodorant and a box of tampons.

In sudden rage, Harry collected everything that didn't belong to him and marched down the hall to Jenna's room.

"That bathroom is off limits. Show a bit of respect and keep your girly shit in here!" he shouted, slamming her belongings to the floor where they scattered all over the place.

"That's not fair" Jenna said, slightly afraid. "Who says it's your bathroom"

"Me, now you keep out!" he slammed her door, rattling the foundation of the house as he did.

Suddenly feeling like he would throw up, Harry ran downstairs and to the door. He knew what was going to happen. He'd reached exploding point, just as Sirius had said.

"You ok?" Lupin poked his head out of the living room door. Harry noticed a picture of Egypt taped to the wall with a note for Sirius scribbled on it.

"I need to…explode" Harry muttered, pushing the door open as Lupin hauled himself out of the room. But before he could stop him, Harry had Disapperated.

"Shit!" Lupin was running back inside to get Sirius when he noticed the note taped to the wall.

He paused, his mind racing desperately. Should he go and find Sirius? Or go straight to Harry. He decided on the latter and scrambled back outside before disapparating to the location on the picture.

Harry landed in the sand on his knees. He shut his eyes and struggled to keep his mind under control as his anger reached peaking point.

His skin turned a reddish-gold colour and when he couldn't hold on any longer he simply let it all go.

Magic mixed with anger and frustration erupted from him as an energy source. It soared over one hundred metres in ever direction, breaking the sound barrier as it did so.

Finally Harry was able to pull himself up just short of exhaustion. He needed to apperate home after all.

When he stood up he found himself standing in a shallow crater, feeling light headed and happy.

Lupin appeared several meters away and stared around himself in shock before sprinting over to Harry.

"Are you alright?" he gasped. Harry nodded.

"We can go home now," he said but no sooner had the words left his mouth, then his scar burst into pain. He gasped and clutched his head.

"Voldemort?" Lupin asked, barely whispering.

"No" Harry straightened up, the pain gone as quickly as it had come, though there was a slight ringing in his ears.

It took him a second to realise that it was actually someone screaming.

"Do you hear that?" Harry asked, frowning and peering out into the horizon.

"Yes" Lupin was looking around to.

The screaming, sounding very much like a child, was becoming louder until it split in two and became two screams.

"We have to help them" Harry started forward but Lupin stopped him.

"Its an illusion. Hear how it keeps splitting? Someone is trying to get you into the desert. Harry we have to go"

Suddenly a strong wind picked up, blowing sand in their eyes and making it hard to breathe. Harry bought up a shield with his hands and he and Lupin were cocooned in it, safe from the storm but unable to apperate. A figure appeared, strolling through the sand as if it was a day in the park.

Harry, startled at the man's sudden arrival, lifted one hand and pointed at him. Purple lightening shot from his fingertips, arced across the sand and hit the thin, frayed man in the chest. But instead of knocking him off his feet, the man stretched his arms out and let Harry's magic flow through him. Slowly he became more masculine, and a lot stronger.

Harry dropped his hand and backed away with Lupin at his side, his yelling lost in the roaring wind. Then he heard his name. The man was calling him in a deep, vibrating voice. "Harry Potter"

Harry felt his power weakening and his shield began to flicker as the man came closer.

"Apperate! Harry you have to apperate!" he could only just hear Lupin's voice and suddenly his brain clicked.

He apperated.

The two of them landed heavily on the stone steps of Grimmauld place. The front door was still wide open from Lupin's quick departure. Harry ran up the steps, lost his balance due to lack of energy and staggered sideways into the wall. Lupin came in behind him and grabbed him by the back of the shirt.

"Get up, Harry. We're almost there"

Together they stumbled blindly to the dining room where Harry collapsed across the table, desperate to maintain consciousness. Lupin tried to help him but he seemed somewhat drained himself and only managed to sit down.

"Harry, give me one good reason why Jenna can't use that bathroom!" Sirius came storming in with his illegitimate daughter in tow. He seemed completely unaware that Harry and Lupin had just come very close to death. Harry pushed himself up to yell at Sirius but fell backwards into a cabinet full of china. There was the tinkling of glass and Lupin stood up.

"Get Dumbledore," he ordered.

"What happened?" Sirius tried to get to Harry but Lupin stopped him.

"Get Dumbledore. We can talk after that" Sirius once again tried to object but Lupin pulled out his wand. Sirius closed his mouth and left the room.

"It knows my name" Harry gasped. "Why did it know my name?"

"Be quiet, Harry" Lupin said before turning to Jenna who was still standing in the doorway. "Jenna, get some chocolate please"

Jenna opened her mouth, just like Sirius, to object and this sent Lupin into a fury. "For gods sake, Jenna! Stop being a bitch like your father and get the bloody chocolate!"

Jenna stared at him in shock before storming out of the room in the opposite direction of the kitchen. Lupin cursed loudly and swaggered through a different door.

The fire opposite Harry burst into green flames and the figure of Albus Dumbledore appeared.

"Harry" he said sharply, moving across the room to where Harry was still clutching the china cabinet for support. Sirius appeared in the fireplace as Lupin came back from the kitchen with two lumps of chocolate and handed one to Harry who ate it gratefully.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked as a few more order members appeared in the fireplace. Jenna came back and stood at the door, glaring haughtily at Lupin.

"Harry apperated to Egypt to let off some steam, I guess you could say, and something appeared…" Lupin looked at Harry for help.

"It sucked up my spell like a dying plant would with water. It got bigger, stronger, and started sucking my magic from the air"

"Mine two" Lupin added.

"Did you see what it looked like?" Dumbledore asked, traces of concern in his voice.

"Like a man. It was hard to tell. There was a heavy wind and sand blowing everywhere. But it said Harry's name. It was calling for him…" Lupin stopped speaking as Harry gasped.

"Sands of Egypt blew,"he recited the first line of the prophecy Voldemort had told him the spring before"Ancient Power stirring, Sir, do you think this could be the starting of the prophecy?" he looked at Dumbledore who nodded slowly.

Harry tried to stand up. "I have to tell Voldemort," he said but Dumbledore forced him into a chair.

"No, Harry, I will not let you go and find him while you are this weak."

"Maybe this thing could kill Voldemort for us!" Kingsley suggested and most of the people around, including Sirius, nodded in agreement.

"ARE YOU KIDDING?" Harry shouted. "THAT THING SUCKED UP MY MAGIC AS IF IT WAS A SQUIBS SPELL! MY MAGIC WAS ITS LIFE FORCE!"

"Stop it, Harry" Dumbledore said sharply "we need to think this through, if this…being… can bring Voldemort down then we should let it"

"Harry's right, Albus" Lupin said quietly. "It didn't even attack us and yet here's Harry, sitting her with every ounce of his magical energy drained."

"Voldemort is like a petty thug compared to that" Harry muttered "go see for yourself"

Dumbledore contemplated this for a moment. "Where is it?" he asked and Lupin hurried out to get the picture from the wall. When he bought it back, Dumbledore examined it before leaving the room, his robes billowing behind him.

Harry slumped back in his chair and stared at Jenna who smirked at him.

"Weak" she mouthed at him and Harry almost lost control again which meant his magic was restoring itself rapidly.

There was a loud bang in the hallway and Dumbledore appeared, clutching the wall for something to hold onto.

"We have a problem," he gasped.

Dumbledore gave himself ten minutes to recover before informing the waiting order members about how his magic had been sucked the second he'd hit the ground.

"Harry, what made you angry enough to go there in the first place?" he asked when he'd finished his recount. Harry blinked a few times before pointing at Jenna.

"Her" he growled.

"Me?" she said in an innocent voice full of surprise. "I have been as nice as possible to you and how do you say thanks?" she turned to the watching group. "He trashes my belongings, restricts me from certain parts of the house and him," she pointed at Lupin. "He called me a bitch"
"What!" Sirius turned on Lupin who was glaring at Jenna. "What the hell did she do to you?"

"Shut up, Sirius" Lupin growled. "I warned you not to get mixed up with riff-raff like her."

"So I'm riff-raff now, am I?" Jenna said shrilly.

"I'm going to work," Harry announced loudly, checking his watch.

"No your not" Lupin swung around and grabbed him by the arm. "Kingsley, tell your people Harry can't make it today."

"Why not?" Harry wrenched free and stared at Lupin.

"You need to rest. You have your test tonight and it won't do you any good to be fixing cars all afternoon. Shut up, Sirius!" Lupin turned back to his Sirius who was now raging about how he let Harry and Lupin into his home and they show no respect for him family.

"I thought we were your family!" Harry stated, feeling quite hurt at Sirius' words.

"Well Jenna is more family isn't she?"

"STOP!" Dumbledore stood up. And every one fell quite. "Harry, go to bed. The ministry is expecting you at seven thirty tonight. Rest as much as you can. You need to be able to apperate. Lupin you need rest to. The rest of you come back to my office"

Harry stormed out of the room; shoulder barging Jenna as he passed. She fell back into the wall and Sirius began to yell again.

When he reached his room he slammed and locked the door before falling on top of his bed, completely exhausted.

When Sirius came to wake him it was dark.

"Time to go" he said shortly before leaving again. Harry sat up groggily and smoothed his messy hair over his forehead.

Tonks and Lupin were waiting in the hall and Lupin looked just as dead as Harry felt.

"Hi, Harry" Tonks grinned under her locks of blue hair.

"We're going already?" Harry yawned patted his pocket to make sure he had his wand.

"We over slept" Lupin said, smiling guiltily. "How are you feeling?"

"Completely screwed," Harry answered, opening the door and stepping onto the dimly lit street.

"You car or mine?" Tonks asked, still grinning. Harry grinned back and opened the door of his car and climbed behind the wheel.

Tonks got in the passengers seat and Lupin got in the back.

Harry started the car and moved off slowly down the street.

"I though Kingsley said you were a good driver," Tonks said, frowning.

"What am I doing wrong?"

"Well for starters you drive like…"

As he reached the first intersection, Harry slammed his foot on the accelerator and they went flying down a straight. Lupin clutched his seat belt in the back seat but didn't say anything; he merely smiled.

"What do I drive like?" Harry asked, grinning as Tonks whooped when he ran a red light.
"I was going to say Grandma but- turn!" Harry skidded onto a smaller street and he let his speed drop back to the legal limit. "I'm going to have to take you racing one day" Tonks struggled to hold back her laughter.

The finally made it to the derelict phone booth and all three squeezed inside.

"Nymphadora Tonks, Auror" Tonks stated happily when the cool female voice asked. "I'm escorting Remus Lupin and Harry Potter to an Apperating test"

"Visitors, please take the badges and prepare to present your wands for checking at the gate"

Hope you enjoyed and I hope you review. Until next!
