Chapter 1: The Foretelling and a Death.
It was a dark and stormy night, during the first few years of Voldemort's reign of terror. Professor Dumbledore was in his office, grading papers, but the quiet was unnerving him. He was going as fast as he could, but the bad, dark feeling was growing big. He thought to himself, "I need to hurry so I can go catch Headmaster Dippet before he goes to bed." Finally, he was done and he scurried out of his office so fast that he almost tripped over his robes. Racing as fast as he could to Professor Dippet's office, he wish silently that no students could see him, much less the other professors, or they would begin to worry. Once arriving, he said the password so fast that he almost didn't stop, and then hurried into the office. "What is it, Dumbledore?" Asked Professor Dippet. "You look as if You- know-who just apparated into your office. Please sit down and calm yourself. "I cannot sit! I have had a bad feeling since dinner, and it had grown worse the later the night gets. Have Lily and James found anything useful yet? Maybe a way to defeat Voldemort? Anyone else?" Professor Dippet flinched at the sound of Voldemort's name, but he calmly replied, "No, not yet Dumbldore. If they had found out anything, we would surely know by now. Ditto for anyone else. Now, about this feeling..." But Dumbledore cut in, "My feeling has not stopped growing in darkness, but I feel as if once it stops, something good will happen, but also bad. Have you foretold anything?" "I haven't foretold anything, to my knowledge, Dumbledore. And besides, even if I had, the few who know about my gift would've told me right off. I don't keep Death Eater's and the like in my staff, or around me for that matter." "But you must have foretold something. Maybe Severus was there when it happened. He's a Death Eater and cannot be trusted.." "Enough Dumbledore!!" said Dippet angrily. "I would expect this behavior from anyone but you. We both know that Severus is just a spy, giving us information about You-know-who's plans" "I am sorry Professor Dippet. It must be the dark feeling, making me say what I normally wouldn't. Please forgive me" "All's forgiven, Dumbledore, but don't let it happen again, not matter the reasons. Now about that feelinggg... In a few years hence, a boy will be born who can stop the forces of Voldemort from the crib. He will pave the way for more, who will be born four years after him. They will be called the Phoenix Knights, in the Order of the Phoenix, who will be great, unless they fall into the wrong hands. They must be recruited to the good side, or Voldemort will come back again, even stronger than before. But there is still hope. If the Phoenix Knights are not all on one side or the other, then they can be swayed to abandon their cause and join another..." "Professor Dippet!" Cried Dumbledore as Dippet collapsed to the floor and wasn't moving. Dumbledore rushed to his side and then started to slap his cheeks when all of a sudden.. "Dumbledore..." whispered Professor Dippet, "Dumbledore...Please find the Phoenix Knights and... complete the Order of the...cough... Phoenix. For the first time... cough cough... my gift showed me the future. If you fail... cough cough... to complete the Order of the Phoenix... then Voldemort will... cough... over-run the whole world in... evil... and... everyone...good...will...will...will... cough cough cough." "Will what?" Cried Dumbledore fiercely. "Will die after torture... killed by dememtors, or worse..." And with that, Professor Dippet's eyes began to glaze over and his body let out all of the breath left. The next morning when Professor McGonagall stumbled onto this scene, she began to scream and witnesses say that Dumbledore was just sitting on the ground, cradling Dippet's body. Witnesses also said that he repeated one phrase over and over, "I will find them and complete the order."
