Headmistress Minerva McGonagall was pacing in front of the desk in her office, completely baffled by the events of that morning.
She had been to the North Tower to have a word with Sybil Trelawney, the Divination Professor, regarding her classes, when she had received the shock of her life. Sybil had gone rigid, her voice raspy, as the words tumbled out of her mouth. Minerva, for her part, had paid complete attention to what she was saying, fairly certain that she was being witness to Sybil Trelawney's third real prophecy.
Now, as she mulled over it, she realised that it was just like any other puzzle, only more terrifying. The only thing she was fairly certain about was that it would affect the lives of a Slytherin and a Gryffindor, if the words 'snake' and 'lion' were any indication. What she was yet to get her head around was that a kind of friendship might bloom between them, something that never ended well.
Don't get her wrong, she was all up for House Unity and all, but she was thinking from experience. Any kind of friendship between those two houses was going to be nothing short of trouble.
She sighed as she once more began repeating the prophecy over and over again in her mind, hoping she might come across some vital clue she may have missed earlier, but to no avail.
She vowed to wholeheartedly help the poor souls who would be victim to such a life-disruptive … 'curse', if you will.
"An ancestor's curse shall return with a vengeance;
A Snake's life shall it haunt.
If approached with sheer arrogance,
It shall destroy two soul mates' bond.
Friendship shall blossom between fire and ice;
The impossible shall take place.
Love so passionate, so nice;
That it could put you in a daze.
A lion's bliss shall pave the way;
It shall pull the curtains open.
And since trouble can't for long be kept at bay,
It will soon create hell in heaven.
But as the old saying goes,
'Love conquers all',
Embrace love and fight against your woes
And you will soon see trouble fall."
Yes, it will definitely be a very interesting and long year.
This is my first fanfic, and I hope it is good.
Also, I've deleted the story with the name 'Forevermore' as I did not find it satisfactory. However, this is the same story with another name and is currently being edited.
