It was a calm evening for the headmaster of Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk writing to the minister of magic in plea to forgive Hagrid the new professor for "care of magical creatures", Hagrid had an incident where a Hippogriff attacked one of the students. A rough knock on the door took the deep concentration away from the brilliant mind of Dumbledore. "come in" he says calmly, and in came the professor of Divination, Sybill Trelawney.
Trelawney looked at Dumbledore with confusion, "is there anything you wish to tell me professor" said Dumbledore calmly. "oh dear I am afraid that I may have forgotten why I came headmaster" said Trelawney. After a few moments of silence and an awkward stare, Trelawney had remembered what she had come for.
"Headmaster I had another prediction, and I said it out loud in front of the boy, headmaster I am sorry" said Trelawney Desperate. Dumbledore could only raise his hands in forgiveness. "what did the prediction say Sybill?" asked Dumbledore "head master I don't remember much but it did say that he who must not be named will rise once more, I can only remember that line out of fear sir" said Trelawney sobbing. "was there anyone in the classroom other than Harry?" asked Dumbledore. Trelawney shook her head" after a brief conversation, Dumbledore relieved Trelawney, and sat down to think. It occurred to him that he must let the minister of magic know immediately
The next day, Dumbledore walked to Hogsmeade in order to Apparate . once at the ministry, he was greeted by the minister himself. 'ahh Cornelius, I see you got my owl" said Dumbledore shaking his hand. "yes Dumbledore, of course let us go to my office" said Cornelius.
As Dumbledore is telling Cornelius about the prediction Trelawney made, Cornelius has a look of disbelief. "why do you still believe her, that lady is mad I tell you Albus," said Cornelius. "Fudge I plea that you listen to the seer's prediction, the dark lord will rise again, please we must act now, Said Dumbledore. Cornelius ignored what Dumbledore said, and went on to talk about the incident that happened with Draco Malfoy and the Hippogriff. After a long conversation Dumbledore notice a big folder with the words "muggles not accepted" on a table.
"Cornelius, are these the files of the muggles who have magical talents who were rejected for teachings, may I have a look at it?" asked Dumbledore. Cornelius nodded his head; Dumbledore picked up the folder and noticed it is filled with muggle children for the decade. He searched for a name hoping that it would be there, and there it was, Dudley Dursley. Dumbledore remembered that he was on the list, but was rejected due to his behavior and parent issues.
Dumbledore came with the idea on using Dudley as a secret weapon. Something that no one will see coming, Cornelius secretary came in the room to pull out the minister to sign off on a piece of parchment, Dumbledore made sure he was secured, and pulled his wand out and erased Dudley's name from the files. As Cornelius came back into the room with Whisky, Dumbledore got up to take his leave, Cornelius asked "where are you going I have Whisky" Dumbledore responded "Sorry minister, duty calls, maybe next time", and Dumbledore exited the office, and returned to Hogwarts.
For days Dumbledore had the thoughts that Dudley Durlsey has magical talents, "I can teach him how to control it, I can teach him how to duel, I can use him as a surprise against Voldemort." Dumbledore thought to himself. Dumbledore decided to pay Dudley a visit the following week, so that he can think through what he had in mind.
