A/N - OK, so since this story was written a little over a year ago, i've decided to change it and edit it considerably since it was very poorly written and not planned out too well. I'm going to concentrate more on quality rather than quantity from now on, seeing as ive decided to finish the story/continue it, and that my writing abilities have greatly developeed this past yr and a bit. I also got a couple flames that were not appreciated, one ive left seeing as its good constructive critism, which I allow, but the other i deleted seeing as it was pure flaming/insulting which i do not approve of and do not appreciate.
Everyone should know - I am NOT Brook! This is in no way related to me at all, she's a fictional character that I made up and own, so please do not assume it's me and my "fantasy" im writing about, because that is entirely untrue. I'm not even 17...I'm 15... difference. I have added her background information seeing as it was brought to my attention that there wasnt any, and I made her more "normal & original" seeing as it was aslo brought to my attention and I realized that she was in fact a Mary Sue, which i did not intend her to be.
PLUS - You should all know that I ALREADY use HPLexicon for pretty much everything, and that I have a little over more than half of this story written out in one of my many notebooks, there are about 23 chapters so far and this story will probably end at about 30-35 depending on how long i make them, but there might also be less now that im re-wirting them/editing them and making them longer and merging them together.
Oh and everyone should know I wrote this as if the 6th book has been writen differently, therefore Dumbledore's not dead! I chose not to go along with J.K's plot in the sixth book, and that's my choice no one can critisize me for that and there are many other stories that do that here on fanfic. So all the events happend in the sixth book in here minus Dumbledore's death! (meaning Draco tried to kill him but did not succeed which is why Draco is included in there - though he's one of the main characters...)
Thank you to all my loyal and persistant reviewers that have supported me this far...I can't wait to hear what you all think of this newly revised edition and the rest to come. Enjoy! NOW FULLY EDITED AND COMPLETED!
HARRY POTTER and the Secret Prophecy
Chapter 1
It was a normal day in August, while all the Hogwarts students were itching yet dreading to go back to school. Harry, Ron and Hermione were going into their seventh year, but little did they know that this year would change their lives forever.
Hermione had a secret; she was friends with a Canadian girl who had moved to England four years ago. Hermione told her everything, even about Hogwarts. They'd become Best Friends over the past four years, but her friend Brooke had a secret that she only confided in Hermione... Brooke was a Witch.
Brooke was a normal, average, almost-17 year old girl, who had recently moved to England 4 years ago due to her "secret". Brooke was a witch, born in Canada to Muggle parents. As she grew up, the things that are normal for other young Witches and Wizards in the Wizarding world, started happening to her, things she couldn't explain. These 'things' alarmed Brooke's parents immensly, which caused them to move to England 4 years ago when Brooke was 12, they just couldn't keep her where they were anymore. Her parent's became extremely secretive about it and kept Brooke captivated most of the time in case she had another one of her "episodes". Brooke had grown up feeling unloved, unwanted and like a mistake most of her life due to her parent's reactions to her "abilities", and longed everyday ever since for a change and to feel complete, feel wanted, feel loved and accepted.
It was the summer she'd moved to England that Brooke met Hermion Granger, her best friend to be. They ended up living down the street from each other and on Brooke's moving day, she had decided to go for a walk in the neigbourhood. Brooke was on the swings at a park down the street, (that was halfway to where Hermione lived) when Hermione came and sat on the swings next to her. Both the girls were extremely shy and introverted, and were scared to talk at first. Hermione had fallen off the swings and Brook had helped her up, therefore breaking the ice between the two of them and they'd became friends. They did everything together ever since, accept for when Hermione had gone away to school, none the less, the two of them had countless sleepovers and pillow-fights and trips to the mall and many more past times together during the summer's. But that first summer that Hermione had met her, she'd known Brooke wasn't a Muggle.
When Hermione first met Brooke, she noticed a difference in her compared to other Muggle people she knew, this was due to Brooke having magical powers like herself, but since Brooke hadn't attend Hogwarts, she never knew how to control them. Brooke had told Hermione of her secret after Hermione had mentioned these "differences", and the only other people that knew were Brooke's parents. Hermione had told Brooke all about Hogwarts and Harry and Ron, Malfoy and Dumbledore, Hermione told her everything. All of what Hermione had told Brooke, had comforted her, knowing she wasn't really a freak or any less normal, she was just different, but there were people like her, and there was a World for her and a place where she belonged.
Though since Brooke was being hidden from the Wizarding World and her parent's weren't allowing her to attend Hogwarts (though they didn't even know a place like that existed), Hermione went to Dumbledore at the begining of that year and told him about her new friend. Dumbledore had made countless attempts and persuading Brooke's parents to allow her to attend Hogwarts, but Dumbldore only scared them even more and made them keep a tigher leash on their daughter. The great improtance to Dumbledore, to get Brooke to attend Hogwarts was that she was the only Canadian Witch in a century. Most had died off a very long time ago, and Brooke was the first ever since the Canadian Witch/Wizard existance, making her a very curious/interesting child. So at this point, Dumbledore being unable to force the parent's to let her leave, and him not wanting an uncontrolled Witch living and wandering the streets of England, went to the Ministry to ask for their approval to have Hermione teach Brooke during the summer's what she had learned the previous year. The Ministry agreed with Dumbledore's argument and allowed his request, which comforted Brooke even more, although she still felt very alone, and very unloved and all her other mixed emotions, which would be hard for her to over come.
To get Brooke up-to-date on all the spells and jinxes and all the magic she'd missed out ont he passed 3 years, he used a new technique called instant-Witch/Wizard. The Ministry had made it for Brooke and any other Witches or Wizards like her for in the future. It was to be a very secretive technique, and Brooke and Hermione were not to speak of it to anyone.
Dumbledore came to her house one day during Hermione's third year and used this specially made wand by placing it near the back of her head and instantly knowledge of all the magic that She'd missed the passed 3 years began pouring into her brain. Brooke's parents had to agree to this and Hermione's teachings if they didn't want her to attend Hogwarts, it was the only way to keep things in order and to keep things safe in the Muggle world.
So Hermione did her part, she'd go home over the summer's and would teach Brooke all the magic she'd learnt that year in school, but over the years she learned that Brooke was more different than anticipated. She had almost advanced powers, she knew spells, charms and jinxes that Hermione didn't even know and she had a way of learning things that made her very unique, and it wasn't beacause of the instant-Witch, that was a one time process that got her up-to-date on what she'd missed, and the only magical knowledge in it was the curriculum of all the subjects from those years, and the rest she had to learn on her own from Hermione.
But on August 12th of that Summer everything would change...and so would that year at Hogwarts...
"Okay, now we're going to try the confundus charm that I used on McClaggan this year." explained Hermione. "Repeat after me, 'Confundee Incartartum!'."
"Confundee Icantartum!" said Brooke.
"Great, you got that one pretty good for your first try! Well done!"
"Thanks Hermione. I really appreciate you teaching me. I only wish I could go to Hogwarts with you though." complained Brooke.
"I do too, but your parents would never allow it, but I guess with Voldemort being back now it's a definite no." answered Hermione.
"Well for one they don't even know who Voldemorte is nor do they care, and I'm not afraid of him! I would rather go to a real school like you. My High School teaches me useless stuff like Math and Science! If I'm a witch I don't need any of that!" grumbled Brooke.
"I'm sorry Brooke you know I'd bring you with me if I could, I just know you'd love it there!" sympathized Hermione.
"I know, I'm sorry for complaining, I just feel so limited here that's all."
And then they heard a loud CRACK, and Dumbledore apparated into Brooke's Bedroom. "Whoa!" exclaimed Brooke.
"Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing here?" asked Hermione.
"Don't worry Miss. Granger, I do not bare bad news, I am simply here to talk to you and Brooke." answered Dumbledore in a calm tone.
"Yes, Pofessor?" answered Brooke.
"I have come to examine your magical abilities, and to see how Miss. Granger is dong in your teachings. I however, have no doubts as to her teachings, but I would like to see how our only existing Canadian Witch is doing."
"May you demonstrate a few spells that you've learned recently for me?" asked Dumbledore.
"Of course." and with that she preformed a patronus, which looked like a phoenix, a few simple jinxes and curses, and the Expelliarmus attack. (All with Hermione's wand, as she didn't have her own.)
"I see." Said Dumbledore watching her perform her patronus. "Are you aware that your petronus is a phoenix?" He asked.
"Yes, sir." answered Brooke.
"I see. Well I'll have you know that that is very unusual, as everyone's patronus takes a different form depending on the person, there is only one other Wizard that's petronus produces a pheonix and he's standing in front of you."
"Really? I never knew it was unusal, I never even knew it was special, I thought many people had similar ones." replied Brooke once more.
"No, you and I are the only ones I've ever seen with a phoenix patronus, although your's and mine are different naturally, for example your's is a female and have different patterns it's feathers and so forth. And I must say that you are a very special Witch, I have only seen a few others with similar magical ablilites,you guess, can you not, who one of those people are?" asked Dumbledore.
"Harry Potter?" replied Brooke.
"Yes. Harry Potter, but I must say that this year there are no exceptions as to you not attending Hogwarts. It needs you there as much as you need it."
"Excuse me sir, but may I ask what you mean by that?" asked Brooke.
"Ah, the answer will come in time, but now I must speak to your parents."
"Oh! Okay...this way." said Brooke, starting for the door and issuing him to follow her.
Dumbledore followed her down stairs to the Living Room where her parents were watching TV and having their morning coffee. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Coles. Do you remember me? I am Professor Dumbledore, Head Master of Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry, I believe we.ve corresponded." At the sight of this unexpected guest wearing odd clothes, they screamed. Dumbledore took no acknowledgment of their actions, but calmy spoke to them.
"How did you get into my house!" demanded Brooke's Father.
"I apparated, sir. Now I am here to speak about your daughter."
"Apparated? and what about our Daughter? We told you she's not going to that school, we had an agreement!" snapped Brooke's Father.
"She is to attend our school this year and you can not refuse her going. She needs to develop her powers by more experienced Witches and Wizards, not just by Miss. Granger here. She is a very unique and talented Witch, I must say, and the school and everyone in it needs her as much as she needs it." explained Dumbledore.
"Our Daughter isn't going to learn Magic she is going to be a normal Human being! We don't want her looking or acting like a freak!" yelled Brooke's Mother.
"Now please calm down!" snapped Dumbledore, and with that the room was silent. "I must tell you that if you don't want her looking or acting like a freak, than it is mandatory that she attend this school or she will without a doubt use her powers out here in your world and will draw attention to herself if she does not learn how to control them better than she does now, Miss Granger here can only do so much." persisted Dumbledore.
"But you told us that she could be taught here and she wouldn't have to go to that school, and we could resume being a normal family." argued Brooke's mother.
"Yes, but things have changed, and you will have to accept and should have by now, that you are not a normal family, and you do not have a what is considered here a "normal" daughter. You also have to consider her needs, you love her do you not? Loving someone takes sacrifice for their needs and protection. Your daughter is special and needed at my school. Our world is where she truly belongs. " said Dumbledore.
"Well we do not understand why it is so important she go now, after all this time." said Brooke's father.
"The details of that information are classified, but I must emphasize that the school needs her, and she needs the school, this is an important year for everyone, and for her. There are many events this year at the school, she has to tak her final exam's aswell. Also, would you honestly like your daughter to be what she is and not know anyone other than Miss.Granger here who is like her? or have any ties to her world, because if she doesn't than there will be consequences here in your world." reasoned Dumbledore.
"Well...well..we...well we guess you're right." said Brooke's mother.
"Thank you for understanding Mr. and Mrs. Coles. I'm sure both our worlds and your daughter will thank you one day. Now, Brooke go and pack your things we are going to Diagon Alley to buy you your school supplies, then you will be staying with the Weasley's, I'm sure Miss.Granger has told you of them." said Dumbledore.
"Yes, of course." and with that Brooke went up to her Bedroom with Hermione and started packing her prized possessions.
"Wow Hermione, I'm actually going to go to Hogwarts!"
"Yeah well now you have to worry about Malfoy at School, he's your next problem!" warned Hermione.
"Don't worry, I don't plan on any interactions with Malfoy, and he doesn't scare me either." said Brooke confidently.
"Brooke, for one, you're bound to have a couple classes with him so there's interaction there, and you don't know him like I do, he's pretty nasty." warned Hermione.
"Yeah, ok fine...there's some interaction, no need to be all smart with me 'Mione." laughed Brooke. When she was finished packing, they went down and joined Dumbledore, who was in the middle of explaining the school and who all the Weasley's were to Brooke's parents.
"Now are you girls ready?"
"I'm going aswell?" asked Hermione.
"Of course, you'll be guiding Brooke and filling her in on everything, and of course you'll be explaining to Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley who Brooke is and why you've never told them about her."
"Yes Professor."
"Now then, put your bags down Brooke and I will send them to the Burrow." Brooke did as she was told and with a loud CRACK, her things apparated.
"Now Brooke, your parents have given you money to convert once we get to Diagon Alley. I will keep it with me. Now shall we go get your things Miss. Granger while Brooke says goodbye to her parents?" Hermione left with Dumbledore and went to get her trunk back at her house, then they were off to Diagon Alley.
"Goodbye Mom, Dad! Thank you for letting me go! I love you"
"You're welcome love, you go along now, you don't want to keep them waiting, we're going to use an owl to send you mail and letters, now you be a good girl."
"Thanks Mom." Then Dumbledore and Hermione returned, and the three of them left, leaving two worried but ashamed parents behind.
