Harry Potter and the Shadows of the Watchgate

Harry meets some old friends and enemies. At last gets his O.W.L results and finds something to his dismay. Will he not be able to fulfill his dreams about being an Auror? He also starts having weird dreams and gets use to Ginny’s intelligence. So, who does that echoing voice belong to? Read to ponder.

Thanks to all the reviewers, who took out the time to review the first and second chapter:

A scene of large scale pandemonium. Harry and company have been ambushed in Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and there’s more to this whole scenario than just Death Eaters cursing everyone else. But,

A New term begins at Hogwarts with deaths of few students. Jailed Death Eaters are at large and Harry Potter has more than reality to deal with. Is he really seeing Tom Riddle’s past? What is so fascinating about Shadows and Dreams?

The sixth year classes begin. Snape is the same old bully and nothing much has changed for Harry as he is swamped with one thing or another. He faces the new DADA teacher from Romania. So, what’s so special about this Romanian Auror? Read to find out.

Fudge is forced to step down as the Minister of Magic by the Wizengamot. However, a new Minister is just the beginning. Harry has a new enemy, so it’s not only Voldemort who is scheming his death now. ‘Been there done that,’ you would say? Wait till you find out that Harry has finally worked out Sirius’s Diary....

#8 - Padfoot Returned: A chapter you have been waiting for. Sirius went behind the veil but that does not in anyway mean that Harry cannot find a way to talk to him. The secret of Sirius’s Diary is revealed and Harry and you get to meet him, finally.

Harry contemplates on the Cho-thing. But why is he in a conflict? What should he do about the ever present Ginny? Can you really expect him to figure it out? Never! Harry was never good on the subject of girls anyway.... An unusual class of Care of Magical Creatures turns to more startling grounds. Grawp pays a visit and has a surprise of his own. More mysteries are uncovered as the story progresses. So, go figure!

Harry’s longtime nemesis was getting too much on his nerves and as there’s a limit to everything, Draco finally got what he deserved!

Vanquishing one’s fears and doubts is not always easy. And Harry has to deal with more than anybody has to. Co-captaining the Gryffindor Quidditch team is just another facet.

CH 12 Expecting the Unexpected: Getting injured in the Quidditch match was not enough for Harry, as he again finds himself at a loss of words, not because he’s suddenly become mute but because he’s frozen by our own Madam Pomfrey. And consider that a favor; as you don’t want to see Harry’s insides go up in flames do you? *I see you shaking head* Good! A peck by Ginny does wonders and almost mastering occlumency gives another high, but a woozy Cho in his arms is not a good omen for our, Harry dear.

Even when it looks all gloom-doom for Harry; you can’t expect him to sit and mope around, do you? Even when he keeps on thinking:

Trouble at Quarters: Harry has squirmed out of Cho’s wooing but can he face up to Ginny after what happened? Christmas time at Grimmauld Place stirs old memories; however, nothing ends up the way it should, when Harry and the gang, in the process of saving Number Four Privet Drive from Death Eater encroachment, are themselves unwittingly captured.

Petunia’s Confession: Harry could have imagined facing the Killing Curse but even in his wildest dreams he would never have thought that his Aunt Petunia would talk about and show even a trace of emotion for her sister: Lily Potter.

Animagi: The Human Transfiguration class ended with surprising events:

Down Memory Lane: Harry finally succumbs to temptation and journeys into the past of his godfather’s, only to find him with his parents on a very strange mission:

(The Golden Wings): The Quidditch match is not the only game that’s been happening, Innocent Muggles are being killed for no reason whatsoever. Dumbledore is delayed, yet again. And the person plotting against Harry is still at large.

(Getting a Clue): "You seem to wilt beneath a heavy burden, little one."
