School didn't start for two days yet and they were trying to relax until then, but it wasn't exactly working. Sirius was always popping off to the Filthy and Mac Nasty Pub down the street when Erin was asleep and got back before she woke up. Ron and Hermione went to a coffee shop nearby to talk. They invited Harry along, but he wasn't interested. Remus and Tonks went to a little Italian place on Pentonville Rd. While Ginny and Donovan preferred a place on Chapel Market two streets away. During the summer Harry had gone all off Islington to find places he could go to be alone or as alone as they allowed him to be. From a cinema a few blocks away, to an old book store to the south of them. He wandered the stalls of Chapel Market when they were open. Everyone had their own place to go with who they wanted to go with. Harry decided to take Erin to a place a couple of blocks away at the junction of Pentonville and Islington and some others. They could have lunch together and just get to know each other again without the other's interference.

They settled down in a nice table away from the other patrons. "This is a nice place." Erin said after he helped her into her seat and glancing at the menu.

"I came here on occasion during the summer, along with a lot of other places around here."

"You were worried, it's understandable." She nodded. "Orange juice, please." She said to the server who came over to take their drinks order.

"Of course and for you, sir?" the girl seemed almost out of breath seeing Erin. Erin didn't realize it was because of the front page article in the paper yesterday telling the public she had been found alive and well except for some amnesia problems.

"I'll have my usual." Harry told her. "Thanks."

"Of course, Mr. Potter," she said scurrying off.

"Mr. Potter?" Erin asked raising an eyebrow.

He kind of grinned sheepishly. "Throw around a little cash and they think you're rich."

"Dad gave me enough to cover the bill." She told him.

He nodded not worried about it. Why was this so hard? It was like a first date. And this was Erin. It wasn't just some girl he liked. "Listen, I…I want to tell you about us…I mean our history together. I know Hermione and Ron have told you a lot, but I need to tell you about us."

"Okay, I'd like to hear it from you."

"What did Hermione tell you about us?"

"She said we're soul mates."

He nodded. "Yes, that's right. Soul mates…that's due to a prophecy and how long we've known each other and what we've been through together."

"What's this prophecy I keep hearing about?"

"Actually they're talking about another prophecy." He sighed. "There's two that involve me and you and all of this. This is going to take awhile, but I'll go over all of it with you."

The waitress came back with their drinks. "Are you ready to order?"

"Yes," Harry nodded. "To start out we'll have the mixed nuts, crisps, and marinated olives, for starters we'll have the soup of the day, and for the mains…Erin, do you know what you'd like?"

"Fish of the day with a green salad," she said smiling.

"Fish of the day is sea bass." The waitress informed her.

Erin nodded politely.

"And I'll have the rib-eye steak with a side of mashed potatoes."

"Very good, sir, I'll have your order here as soon as I can." She took their menus before she turned and hurried away.

"The prophecies," Erin urged smiling softly at him.

"Yeah, the prophecies…" he sighed. He briefly thought about taking Erin to one of the pubs near here later. He frequented all sorts of places around here. This was higher end and he wanted to treat her. They'd never really gone out on a date before and he wanted to show her a nice time. He brought his head back to the task on hand. "The first prophecy is one much of the wizarding world is aware of if only a little. It was made by Professor Trelawney, our Divination professor at school when we were just babies to Albus Dumbledore, our Headmaster at Hogwarts. The exact words were 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...' The prophecy speaks of me and Voldemort. And neither of can truly live while the other survives, so I have to kill Voldemort or he has to kill me. Only I have the power to kill him. I only found this out at the end of the last school year." He admitted.

"After I was taken?"

"Yeah, Dumbledore sat me down and explained it. Everything is just so intertwined with us and Voldemort that it's sometimes hard to even breathe because of prophecy and how we feel and everything that's going on."

She reached out and took his hand. He looked up and she saw so much pain in his eyes. "I remember a little about all this, but not enough, not like the other things I know. Like our world and from our schoolbooks I know the things I've read in there, it's not new to me. But I don't know you and I see how that affects you and everyone else and I just wish I did. I don't even know who I really am. And I want to know."

"I don't have all the answers." Harry told her. "But maybe I can help and tell you my memories and let you see them too."

"I'm a Legilimens…"

He nodded. "Yes, and maybe if we all show you what we remember, maybe it will somehow let you know who you are and what's happened."

"I'll try it." She said eagerly.

"I just want you back…" he told her moving his hand to cup her cheek. "I'm forever grateful to have you…I just mean…"

She shushed him. "It's okay, I understand." She leaned in and gave him a small kiss.

The appetizers were brought to them for them to munch on around then, while they enjoyed the crisps, nuts, and olives and got a refill on their drinks while they waited for the main course to come out.

"And what about the other prophecy?" she asked as she popped some nuts into her mouth.

"The other prophecy," he sighed. "The other prophecy was made by Rowena Ravenclaw a thousand years ago. I found out recently that it part of a bigger prophecy about 'The Woman Child'. You are the Woman Child. I haven't read the complete prophecy...there's a few at Hogwarts, one's in Ravenclaw Tower which we could ask to read or in the Restricted Section of the Library. I was told that NEWT level students actually study it in Divination class. The part I actually know is this: 'Blood of the nobles, blood of the Lions, blood of the Dark Oaths…one day shall mix, one day be made pure in a daughter of noble blood…and be ware for the blood of the Snake…if a child be born of these three bloods…he will never have an equal… One day a Dark Lord be born of Snake and he will have but one equal…the blood of Half, the pure be that of the ancient house of the Broom…the daughter of noble blood will be born to love him and no other…if the Snake interferes…the world be damned…'"

Erin looked quizzically. "So basically it's saying that I was born to love you and no other…" she said softly. "And that Voldemort wants to have a child with me that won't have an equal…"

"If a child is born that is Black, Lyancomp, and Slytherin that child will be more powerful than anything." Harry told her seriously. "And he has tried to get you…he had you, which you know, but he was waiting for something. We don't know what that was."

"I never saw him…I just saw the one man…Wormtail I think they called him."

Harry nodded. "He betrayed our parents to their deaths."

"I need to know more, Harry…I need to know why all this is going on…I have to know so I can do something about it."

"I know. I'm going to try and help you with that."

"I'm counting on it."

Their main meal arrived and they talked a little during the meal, but nothing too in depth so they could enjoy the meal and then the dessert afterward. They got a cheese platter and almond ice cream which they shared. They paid the bill and left after Erin agree to pose for a photograph with the manager so they could put it up and let people know that she had been found and was all right. They stopped by the house to change her bandages and the ointment that went on it before they went for a walk around the neighborhood.

"It would probably be a good idea for Sirius and Remus to explain what happened during the first Death Eater War." Harry told her. That was one thing she didn't know about when it came to history. "What I can tell you is what happened on the night it ended. We were with my parents at our house in Godric's Hollow in the West Country. My parents had been warned that Voldemort was after them because of the prophecy about me. Wormtail was a friend of theirs… you see they went into hiding and used your father as the Secret Keeper, but at the last minute they change it to Peter Pettigrew, Wormtail. And Wormtail told Voldemort. Just like he told him where your mum was a few weeks before. She had just enough time after being warned to give you to my mum to keep safe before she was killed." Erin nodded. She had managed to follow all that. "So Wormtail told Voldemort where we were. Sirius found out about it and tried to get her to stop it…but Voldemort got there before him and he got into the house. My father told my mum to take us and go…his exact words were to take me and run…he didn't want Voldemort to know you were here…because Wormtail didn't know you were. My mum grabbed us up and ran upstairs because there was nowhere else to go. He killed my father first on the stairs as he tried to stop him and give my mum time to run with us. She was in the back bedroom with us. In my room with us and put us in the crib telling me that she loved me and that Daddy loved me and she told you that your parents loved you. And then she turned to face him as he came in. She wouldn't move so he could kill me so he killed her and that's when he realized you were here too…his plan changed at that moment. He was going to kill me and take you. But when he tried you were standing in the crib and I was sitting and we grabbed onto each other. He performed the Avada Kedavra curse and it hit us both." He touched his scar. "It hit me here and it hit you here." He touched her shoulder lightly. "It rebounded on him and he fled barely alive. We were left there until Hagrid and your father arrived…at that point Hagrid found me and took me. He was just looking for me and not you. Sirius knew you were there and gave Hagrid his motorbike to use to take me to my aunts and uncles. When Hagrid was gone he found you and took you to Remus while he hunted down Pettigrew. Pettigrew escaped and Sirius was blamed for the murder of 13 Muggles I think it was. He was sent to Azkaban for that and for betraying my parents to Voldemort, which was, of course, all Wormtail."

"Wow…" she said softly. "No wonder Dad's a little crazy."

"He has his moments." Harry agreed. "But he's gotten so much better than he was when he got out of that place. I think it's because everyone now knows he's innocent. I'm glad though. I love living with you guys for parts of the summer when I don't have to be at my aunt's and uncle's."

"Did I live with Remus all the time Dad was in Azkaban?" She asked curiously.

"No, Remus was afraid of hurting you. So he sent you to an orphanage. It wasn't a good place for you, but he thought he was doing what was right."

"Sounds like life has had its ups and downs."

"It has." Harry agreed, "For both of us.

"So, I'm guessing Hogwarts has been a whirlwind…" She chuckled.

"You have no idea. I think that's best to tell you through our memories with Ron and Hermione there. Maybe Fred and George as well."

"Who are Fred and George?"

"They're Ron's brothers. They went to school with us and they were a big part of it." He said rolling his eyes a little. "You'll see when we can show you our memories."

"I look forward to it. Especially ours," she smiled taking his hand.

"It hasn't been an easy road for us either," he told her truthfully. "It wasn't easy for us to even get together because of everything that happened. And then our entire fourth year was spent with me being a bloody ass." He sighed. "You'll see though. I'm not proud of my actions, but at the time they seemed justified. None of us are perfect, but we try to do what's right." He chuckled a little. "We try to stay alive and make sure everyone else stays alive too."

"Sounds good to me."

"You on the other hand seem bent on killing yourself so I stay alive." He said shaking his head.

Erin laughed grinning wide. "I guess people do stuff like that when they're in love."

Harry blushed a little smiling. "Yeah, I guess they do."
