Harry Potter: Remake of a legend!
Prologue: The Prophecy.
It was in the middle of February 1980 when one Albus Dumbledore and his companion Severus Snape travelled the short distance from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to the Hogs Head bar in Hogsmeade to interview a hopeful candidate to the open position of professor of divination. It was in neither mans inclination to continue with the woolly art of divination but since she had applied, the only one to do so, they might as well meet her. It was after all a time of war when travelling any length of distance was dangerous so this person must either be really confident or must really want the job. Either way it would probably earn her the position.
When the two arrived, Aberforth Dumbledore, the Headmaster's brother and owner of the bar showed them the room where the candidate was staying. The room itself showed her desperation as to put it politely it wasn't very luxurious. It was probably the cheapest room Aberforth had to be honest. They all introduced themselves at which point Dumbledore's interest in the candidate suddenly piqued. She was Sybil Trelawney, great granddaughter of the renowned seer Cassandra Trelawney. If she had even half the talent of her ancestor then she would be a great asset for the school. However, after the interview, his hopes were dashed. In his opinion, she had no talent for divination. He decided to confer with Severus as to whether he should hire her or not.
"Severus, it is my opinion that this candidate does not have the required skills or qualifications to be given the job. Before I reject her I would like to find your opinion."
The young dark wizard did not take divination but had heard of it from other students, having only graduated three years ago. He remembered that most students thought it was a joke even with a qualified instructor so with this unqualified one it would be beyond embarrassing for Hogwarts. Severus, having only just gotten the old man's trust on the orders of his master did not want to do anything at the moment that would lose that trust so he gave him his honest opinion.
"Headmaster, I do not believe the "art" of divination is something that can be taught. It is a gift that few people have which even to them is completely uncontrollable. I do not believe you should hire her."
With such a logical answer the headmaster had no choice but to reject Trelawney. He asked Severus to stay outside whilst he told her that she had not achieved her goal. When he re-entered he noticed that Sybil's eyes had rolled into the back of her head. He was about to shout for Severus's help when she started to speak.
"The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches…born of those who have thrice defied him…born as the seventh month dies…the dark lord shall mark him as his equal…but he shall have powers the dark lord does not…and either will die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches."
Now, even though he didn't believe in divination, he did know a prophecy when he heard one. They were generally vague, with multiple possibilities and spoke of very important events. This fit that description perfectly. Some brat was going to be born late July this year who would take over his position of leader of the light. That would just not do. No, he, Albus Dumbledore, must be the leader of the light. He would relegate the kid's position from true leader to weapon and he would be the one in control. He would have to make sure that the child was downtrodden, with no real independence of his own and he had an idea of just how to do that. He would give the dark lord part of the prophecy.
"Severus, can you come in here for a moment?"
Snape, who had been waiting outside, walked into an unusual situation. An angry Albus Dumbledore was standing over an unconscious Sybil Trelawney. He knew Albus was angry because he had become an expert of reading people. The lines of his face were pulled a little tighter than normal and there was an angry spark in his eye, unlike the calm twinkle that was normally there. He was about to ask what had happened when Albus spoke.
"Severus, it seems as if Sybil did inherit some of Cassandra's power after all. She just spoke what I believe is a true prophecy. That is why she is sleeping now; it must be a side effect."
Severus, whose interest in the seer was up again wanted to know what it was. So Albus told him.
"The prophecy went 'the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches…born of those who have thrice defied him…born as the seventh month dies.' This is just what we have been waiting for Severus; a sign that someday this blasted war will be over with. We must protect this child at all costs. I have a couple of ideas of who it might be. Two light sided couples are pregnant with due dates around that time. The first couple are the Potters…"
At this point Severus stopped listening. Dumbledore went onto mentioning the Longbottoms of which Severus was vaguely aware but most of his attention was on getting even with James and Lily Potter. James, who had spent all seven years of school bullying him and Lily, the mudblood who had chosen his arch nemesis over him even though he had lowered himself to like her were now at his mercy. He had the power to end their miserable lives and he was not going to let this opportunity get away.
Dumbledore, who knew that Snape was really a death eater still, knew that his plan had worked if the scheming look on the younger wizards face was anything to go by. He didn't really believe that the Longbottoms could produce a child with the power of will to defeat a dark lord. Sure, they may have some power and skill but they are more followers than leaders. Soldiers don't get prophecies, commanders do. This was to be a person if the fates had any say in the matter that would have a massive impact on the world. Not that he would give the fates a say in the matter, after all he was the great Albus Dumbledore, the fates bow to his power and wisdom but they were indicating that the Potters child would be one of true power like himself. He knew he was not immortal so this child would probably take over after he died but he would control him and his assets until then. He knew his plan would be the end of the young couple as the dark lord would kill them at all costs but to him they were expendable. He never did like the Potter brat anyway, far too out of control. He always seemed to be able to stay one step ahead in his pranks which infuriated the Headmaster. After that, Dumbledore gave Trelawney the job and the two travelled back u to Hogwarts with Snape going to his master.
Hidden in the corner of the room was an interesting figure. He was about six foot two inches tall, quite broad with green skin, antennae on top of his head and carrying a wooden staff. His outfit was strange, even for the magical community but it somehow looked perfect for him. This figure was Dende, the guardian of the earth and successor to Kame. Dende was quite angry but thoughtful at the same time. He couldn't believe that someone who was meant to be on the good guy's side could be so callous and cruel to throw away two young lives like that. He probably justified it with "for the greater good." Even though he was the guardian of the earth he couldn't see how he was going to help the Potters without physically taking them out of Britain and that would result in the death of millions of innocent people. Now that the wheels were in motion he couldn't interfere without grave consequences, such was the burden of being guardian, you were meant to be outside looking in, not getting directly involved. This would take careful research.
