They won't know what hit 'em. XXX A few days later, Harry received yet another summons to Dumbledore's office. He considered ignoring it, but didn't think he should outright defy the headmaster just yet. He could still pretend that the old man had some authority, though he couldn't say with any certainty that he would be able to do so for much longer, unless Dumbledore had had a huge change of heart lately. Somehow, he doubted it. Once more, Dumbledore offered Harry a lemon drop and a seat, and once more, Harry refused, privately reveling in the chance to make the old man uncomfortable and annoyed. But Dumbledore forced those feelings down, and just smiled genially. "Thank you for coming, Harry. I know you must be busy studying for your end of year exams." Harry nodded silently.

I would suggest taking a look, sir, and perhaps you'll understand just a little of what you put me through." He started to turn around, when Dumbledore managed to find his voice. "You need my help, Harry. To fulfill the prophecy. You can't do it alone, there are things that only I know." Harry raised an eyebrow, and glared. "I think I'll manage." He spun on his heel and left the office, seething. He knew the headmaster didn't think he had revealed so much, but he hadn't counted for what Harry already knew. In his mind, Ginny's voice calmed him slightly. Harry, come to the Room of Requirement. I'll meet you there. Just don't curse anything until you get there, all right? Harry nodded mentally, and waited until he reached the Room, asking it to provide him with a training room, complete with dummies for him to destroy.
