The Fountain of Oblivion

Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, following canon as closely as possible. Harry returns to Hogwarts, his heart still filled with recollection of Sirius but eager to start again the DA and Quidditch. An unexpected Defence against the Dark Arts teacher, Fudge's resigning, NEWT classes, Voldemort's gaining influence and a mysterious company are going to force him to give the best of himself. My take of what Book 6 could be.

An unexpected talk with Petunia, a mysterious guest in the midst of a storm and some from Grimmauld Place; all that awaits Harry in this chapter.

Dumbledore unveils the shape of the Second War while the Twins reveal some of their business secrets. And what are the news from Percy?

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny do their usual start-of-term shopping in Diagon Alley. Sirius' will, Weasley Wizard Wheezes, changes in the Ministry and SPEW issues in this chapter.

Our heroes set to Hogwarts. They make many friendly encounters and some less so. A glimpse of Narcissa, a little more of Zabini, some more of Luna and Draco. . . . And who is the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher?

The Sorting Hat gives credit to an ancient legend from the time of the Founders and Harry asks himself many questions. Among which, why did Dumbledore choose the Defence against the Dark Arts teacher he chose? Why are Ron and Hermione always bickering? Whence has he heard about this new teacher? Will he be up to the task McGonagall has given him?

The Trio starts NEWT classes. Draco is obnoxious, but does he know something Harry doesn't? Ron has odd insights, Harry and Hermione disagree, Neville receives bizarre letters....

Surprising news from the candidates to the next elections and mysterious activities from the new Potion teacher in this chapter. Quidditch as a bonus.
