OH THIS ONE IS EASY! NOTHING HAPPENED, IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME! THAT ONE SHOULD BE BURNED, AND J.K SHOULD WRITE A NEW VERSION THAT IS SIGNIFICANT TO THE STORY! HAVE A NICE DAY!

Wikipedia has the best summary of The Half-Blood Prince:
Snape is the new Defence Against Dark Arts teacher. The new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn, teaches Potions (Snape's old subject).
The Half-Blood Prince is a name found in a used copy of Advanced Potions Making Harry uses that has helpful potions tips and spells written inside, one of which is extremely dangerous. The Half-Blood Prince turns out to be Severus Snape. Half-Blood refers to the fact that his father was a muggle (Tobias Snape) but the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name (Eileen Prince).
Harry rightly suspects Draco Malfoy of being a Death Eater. Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets. Draco was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but finds himself unable to.
Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past, learning about Horcruxes, which are divisions of Voldemort's soul, making him immortal until they are all destroyed. There are Seven pieces of his soul (three already destroyed) including the one in Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore try to get one, but the aftermath leaves Dumbledore weak and unable to fight off the Death Eaters.
It turns out the Death Eater that overheard the prophecy and told it to Voldemort (leading to Harry's parents' deaths) was actually Snape. Snape turns up after Draco cannot kill Dumbledore and kills Dumbledore himself. Draco, Snape, and the Death Eaters escape afterwards. Hogwarts is probably going to be closed but Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he and Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.

Harry learns more about tom riddles past. How he killed his parents and uncles to get theh slytherin items and turned them into horcruxes to save his life energies. So he travels with Dumbledore to find one of them at the cave by the sea where tom riddle used to like to torcher other kids. There they find and dumbledore is poisoned by the trap. They get back to Hogwarts, and Malfoy is about to kill dumbledore by Snape does it instead and takes off with Malfoy. Harry then promises to avenge Dumbledore and hunt down and kill Voldemort. Whew!.

sure. here it goes: remember that lord Voldemort wants Draco to kill Dumbledore because his father was caught by the ministry of magic? and we meet Slughorn, D.'s old friend? and then harry takes special classes with D. to learn about V.'s past? then they look for horcruxes, and find one that is fake, are caught by the death eaters at Hogwarts, and D., well, dies.
The End

Dumbledore dies hope he really did not.
