Pairing: future Sirius/Harry

Rating: PG

1. Prophecy

"Master beware! The time to choose will be on the day when light and darkness battle on equal footing for the first time. One path will lead to the rectification of a decade long wrong if the Master and his three symbols align with the portal as the clock strikes the centre. The other will douse the light of rebirth forever. Master beware!"

Harry stared at Trelawney's dazed expression in shocked incredulity. This had sounded suspiciously like a prophecy and those always came back to bite him in the arse if his former divination professor was involved.

He was screwed...

2. Headmaster Office

Harry's memory wasn't bad, but he wasn't quite capable of remembering an abstruse prophecy, when he had been shocked out of his wits. A trip to the headmistress' office was therefore in order to get his hands on Dumbledore's pensieve.

"Harry? How can I help you?"

McGonagall adapted a displeased expression, when Harry explained the circumstances to her, but he could also see a hint of concern in her eyes. The former reaction didn't particularly surprise the brunet, because it always happened when Trelawney was mentioned in her presence.

"Go right ahead then. The pensieve is where it's always been."

3. Spring Equinox

"Are you absolutely sure, Hermione?" Said woman sighed and rubbed her eyes.

"Harry, you know it's impossible to be completely sure about the interpretation of prophecies, but yes, I'm reasonably sure that it will happen at noon during the spring equinox. This will give you about a month's time to retrieve The Hallows and to think up a plan to get you into the Death Chamber unnoticed."

"I still can't believe this is supposed to work... especially after all this time."

Harry would try nonetheless. If there was even the faintest possibility of success, then it would be worth it.

4. Deathly Hallows

The difficulty to reacquire one of the Deathly Hallows just about equaled the intensity of displeasure Harry had felt, when they had been in his possession.

He always had access to his invisibility cloak, though it didn't see much action nowadays. Harry also knew where the elder wand was, but it took a lot of time and nerve to retrieve it from Dumbledore's tomb. The hardest to obtain was the resurrection stone, which he had dropped somewhere in the Forbidden Forest.

Locator and summoning spells didn't work, which left old-fashioned looking around.

After two weeks Harry still hadn't found it.

5. Help

"Is this what you're looking for, Harry?"

Said brunet startled, but somehow managed to remain in his squatting position without toppling over. After a moment Harry regained some of his composure and looked at his friend in astonishment.

"Luna? What're you doing out here in the rain?"

The blonde had basically appeared out of nowhere.

"It's a nice day to look for mudwigglers. During my search a rumpledinkler asked me to give this pretty stone to you."

Harry had absolutely no idea what that was supposed to mean, but knew better than to ask. He just thanked the blonde profusely.
