Harry Potter and the Secret of Gairech

The sixth year at Hogwarts is overshadowed by fresh attacks by Voldemort, who is seeking a final confrontation with the only person who has the power to destroy him. But is Harry ready...?

"The horizon had turned black with a gigantic flock of birds which had appeared between the high banks of cloud and were coming closer by the minute. Harry had never seen anything like them. They glided through the air like a sinister cloak, blotting out the light. And he noticed with surprise that their shadows were rushing ahead of them, turning the landscape beneath them as black as night."

A new subject will be taught at Hogwarts – Certamensis, a more advanced form of duelling. Remembering the attack of the harpies on the school train earlier, Harry realises that Hogwarts isn’t a safe place anymore…

Hunted by his nightmares Harry finally decides to continue with his Occultation lessons. His desperation even drives him to beg the man he’s still hating most for help – Severus Snape.

Harry discovers a power he hasn't known of... until now. In addition he learns something about his new Certamensis-teacher that is causing a lot of distrust. Could Pithormin Sesachar really be a former Death Eater? Or is he even still working for Lord Voldemort?

After discovering that he actually is an Animagus, Harry tries to find an answer on why he has the surprising power of turning into an animal.

The Order does meet again in London – and Mundungus Fletcher doesn’t have any good news for Harry and his friends. The Dementors are freed and Voldemort is on his way to Hogwarts…

How Harry and Snape got abashed by female professors, the Quidditch-season continues and the sixth-years find their personal weapons. But it isn’t all peaceful at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy causes trouble again and then… there are the silverfurs returning to the school grounds.

Hopes are dashed when a terrible incident shocks students as well as teachers in Hogwarts at New Year’s Eve.

Some answers are given and a surprising truth is unearthed...

Do Sesachar and Snape turn out to be Death Eaters in the Dark Lord's service after all...?

More information on Voldemort and the Silverfurs is revealed... and Draco has his magic moment!

Harry's finally willing to confront Voldemort - but instead of his close friends two other people escort him to the Halls of Gairech...

Even the final battle against Voldemort is giving Harry a surprise - although he's forced to face the Dark Lord all alone.
