Harry Potter and the Power the Dark Lord Knows Not

Harry Potter has already dealt with so much tragedy and so much pain - and as his sixth year begins Harry is faced not only with the devastating loss of his godfather, but also with the knowledge that he alone must defeat the Darkest wizard in history or die trying. As events take a turn for the worse and Voldemort begins to terrorize his mind, Harry finds that the one thing that has made his life worth living over the past few months may ultimately be the key to helping him fulfill the prophecy as well.

Harry is away from the Dursleys now, but as he arrives at Grimmauld Place, the memories of his godfather take their toll. As Harry's emotions slowly work themselves out, Ron and Hermione try to be there for him, but Harry still feels so isolated that he's hesitant to really let them in. As Harry receives a rather unpleasant surprise on his birthday, however, he finds that he needs to start sharing his burdens - or else risk being crushed beneath the weight of them.

Once Harry shares the burden of the prophecy with Ron and Hermione, his conscious mind feels some relief - but his unconscious mind is quite another story. As Harry and his friends return to school, he tries to steel himself against his unsteady emotions - but an unexpected and slightly painful surprise awaits him there - though it will eventually prove itself to be a blessing in disguise.

Harry and his friends are back at Hogwarts and NEWT level classes have now begun. And while Harry attempts to learn Occlumency again with his headmaster, he discovers that his memories are still quite difficult to relive - whether Snape is the one extracting them or not.

Harry has found the strength to keep Voldemort out of his mind, but Harry's dreams can still be painful, even if his enemy has nothing to do with them. There is some light at the end of the tunnel, however, and it reveals itself in several different sources - some that will challenge Harry's bravery in entirely new ways.

Due to the mass escape of Death Eaters from Azkaban, Cornelius Fudge has finally been ousted and Kingsley Shacklebolt has taken his place. Things in the outside world are getting way too frightening to think about, so the students at Hogwarts (including Harry) turn their minds to something more safe and innocuous - like Quidditch. Of course, Harry's favorite occupation should prove to be a great stress-reliever - if he can survive until the end of match, that is.

Harry's injuries have healed now, and the time has come for a cheerful distraction. As Harry begins to form a bond that may have profound implications in the future, he starts to feel his grief take a back seat to something he has only rarely ever felt before - true happiness.

Romance is in the air for our new couples, but for Harry Potter, love comes with a price. Will Harry be able to make a true connection for the first time in his life, or will the dark intentions of Lord Voldemort foil his one and only chance for real happiness.

Ever since Harry Potter's first Christmas at Hogwarts, the holidays have always managed to bring something of great import to his attention, and this year is no exception. While this Christmas proves to be full of happiness and for the very first time - love, it also provides some new insight and information about two of the other more pivotal people in Harry's life - his parents. As Harry discovers more about his family and his friends, though, dark outside forces are beginning to put someone else's plans into motion - and unfortunately for Harry - holiday cheer is the last thing on their minds.

Upon returning to Hogwarts after the Christmas holiday, Harry feels the need to prepare himself for the inevitable darkness that he knows is coming. As Harry takes another step towards warding off whatever Voldemort may choose dish out, however, evil has already planned its first real attack. When the morning comes and the attacks are discovered, will Harry be able to deal with his ever-increasing burdens, or will these deaths take Harry's mind and emotions in another direction entirely.

With a great deal of help from Harry and Hermione, Ron and Ginny began to heal in the wake of their brother's murder and things are Hogwarts are beginning to get better. Just as everyone's emotions begin to lighten, however, a new mystery is brought to Harry's attention - a mystery that may prove to be extremely dangerous to him and those he loves in the not so distant future.

Odd things are happening at Hogwarts and no one seems to notice them but Harry, until his unusual behavior gives him away - that is. It will take a public outburst, the shock of the entire population in the Great Hall, and the stubbornness of his best friend to make Harry see the light - but even then, the secret of what is really happening to him remains concealed within the most hidden places and behind the darkest of shadows that are now somehow dwelling inside the school.

The same feelings of apprehension Harry has been experiencing are intensifying, and Harry's friends are anxious to help. Things get better after a restful afternoon with Hagrid (and a quiet interlude with Ginny), and by that evening Harry's mood is much improved. Are these dark and frightening feelings simply coming from Harry's overwrought imagination or is something more menacing at work here?

The Quidditch Final has arrived at last and as the Gryffindor's face off against the Slytherin's, Harry prepares to wipe the pitch with Malfoy -come what may. What Harry is unprepared for, however, is the effect his growing feelings of anxiety will wreak upon him - and what terrifyingly dark events they are trying to foretell.

A NIGHT OF TERROR... The reason why Harry has been so antsy and restless is exposed at last - revealing a well hidden trap and its horrifying consequences. Will the Boy Who Lived survive the brutal events that are to follow or has the last of Harry Potter's luck finally run out for good?

After enduring a night of agonized torture at the hands of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, Harry miraculously finds himself back at Hogwarts severely poisoned and near death. Will an antidote be found in time, or will the Wizarding world soon be mourning the loss of their only real hope for salvation?

As Harry lies poisoned in the Room of Requirement, his friends are there for him and hope of his recovery looms on the horizon. While still bedridden Harry discovers some previously unknown truths from Mad-Eye Moody and has a heartfelt discussion with his headmaster.

UNEXPECTED GUESTS - As a weakened Harry arrives with his friends at Hogsmeade Station to go home, many horrible surprises await them there -- and not everyone will make it out alive.

FINAL CHAPTER. After the shocking events that occur at Hogsmeade Station, Harry finds himself slowly coming to terms with his new and previously unexplored "power." On his way home Harry discovers that he has more strength and confidence than ever before - and realizes that the truth really can set you free.
