34 Dumbledore asks Harry to solve a recent problem regarding to Harry‘s battle with Voldemort. Voldemort has returned to the country. Thus, the Wizard world is in the threat of war. Dumbledore says that Harry, whom Voldemort has already attempted to kill on a number of occasions, is in even greater danger now than the day when he left Harry in Privet Drive fifteen years ago. At was, Dumbledore also left a letter explaining about Harrys parents‘ murder and expressing the hope that Vernon and Petunia would care for Harry as though he were their own. However, they never do what Dumbledore asks, ―You did not do as I asked. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands.‖ Half-Blood Prince, p. 55. Dumbledore also states clearly that Harry has a difficult life back then. The magic I evoked fifteen years ago means that Harry has powerful protection while he can still call this house home. However miserable he has been here, however unwelcome, however badly treated, you have at least, grudgingly, allowed him houseroom. This terrible treatment makes Harry hopes that Dumbledore comes to take him out of the house , ―…he had spent every waking moment of the past few days hoping desperately that Dumbledore would indeed come to fetch him ….‖ Half-Blood Prince, pp. 55-57.

Dumbledore and Harry keep a secret about the prophecy which contains about both Harry and Voldemort. The prophecy comes out in the fifth novel Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix saying that, ―...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...‖ p. 841. Dumbledore tells Harry not to tell anyone about the prophecy. Harry holds his words not to tell anyone about the prophecy. Another description of Harry‘s loyalty is clearly stated in conversation of others and Harry‘s own speech. The Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, finds out about the mission. Harry does not give up keeping the mission as a secret although Scrimgeour says that it is a waste because Dumbledore will not be around anymore. Harry admits his loyalty from his own speech and it makes Scrimgeour call Harry as ―Dumbledore‘s man through and through.‖ ―Well, where I went with Dumbledore and what we did is my business. He didn‘t want people to know.‖ ―Such loyalty is admirable, of course,‖ said Scrimgeour, who seemed to be restraining his irritation with difficulty, ―but Dumbledore is gone, Harry. He‘s gone.‖ ―He will only be gone from the school when none here are loyal to him,‖ said Harry, smiling in spite of himself. ―My dear boy . . . even Dumbledore cannot return from the —‖ ―I am not saying he can. You wouldn‘t understand . But I‘ve got nothing to tell you.‖ Half-Blood Prince, pp. 648- 649 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
