Rick falls at the feet of the witch of his dreams ... almost. But which witch? He meets Harry on the Hogwarts Express. Harry is in a bad way ... depressed about Sirius’ death, for which he blames himself and oppressed by the destiny foretold for him in the prophecy. He’s not about to trust Rick ... and neither is Ron. Then there are Death Eaters to deal with ... but Rick discovers that it’s easier to deal with his enemies than gain the trust of those he wishes were his friends.
