| He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
(Voldemort) is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding
worlds and
Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that
dangers
may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon
preparing
him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together
they work
to find the key to unlock He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s defenses
and, to this end,
Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected
and
unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes
holds
crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a
very
different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry
finds
himself increasingly drawn to Ginny, and so is Dean Thomas. Lavender
Brown has
decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hasn’t counted
on Romilda Vane’s
chocolates. Then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealousy
but determined not
to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof.
He is
determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but
tragedy
lies ahead, and Hogwarts may never be the same again. |
