Sentinels' Walk

Following the confrontation at the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort has seemingly retreated from Britain.

From the confusing mental magic of Occlumency and Legilimency to the even more confusing tapestry of allegiances and friendships that define power in the wizarding world, Harry must learn to master his abilities and discover who around him he can trust to stand with him.
