Prologue

The hot midday sun was beating down on the streets of Little Whinging, Surrey. It was a pleasant change from the rain and drizzle the last months had offered.

Somewhere in London meanwhile a veil fluttered for a moment and fell back into place. But with the slow realisation for the one left behind that this was not a good situation came a ray of hope and determination to make things right and help in any way possible for the one who'd gone beyond.

Back in Little Whinging the air suddenly filled with electricity. A few neighbourhood dogs started howling to the hidden moon and cats unexpectedly threw hissy fits at friends and foe alike. For a few people it made shivers go down their spine or have their hair stand on end, but for most however the moment passed unnoticed.

It was only the most gifted and sensitive among muggles and wizards alike who would notice the change in the air over the next week, hear the longing in the words in the wind uttered by a soft voice "Not long now. He's coming, he's almost here." By the time the last day of the month of June had come the air felt almost alive with anticipation. He was coming any moment now.

The only one who would appreciate the sentiments however was slumbering in the back of his uncle's car as they drove to the house that felt like solitary confinement. To him the voice saying "my dearest boy, you're here." and the feeling of a warm loving embrace came as if in a dream.
