Prophecies were odd things, Terrowin Trelawney observed idly. They didn't have any rhythm or rhyme to them, they just... appeared without notice. Perhaps that was the magic behind them, the intriguing bit about the art of foreseeing and prophesying. One could study the art for years and years, and still it was surprising the varied prophesies that came to be, often in ways not foreseen, not predicted.
Today, Terrowin was feeling particularly imaginative. Hopefully something interesting would come up, because, as of the late, all he had been getting was an image of a castle, and a group of young witches and wizards. Today, his Sight willing, he would get something interesting.
How disappointed he was when, after settling into a deep trance for what seemed like years, the only thing he could see was a little girl with red hair and green eyes. She could hardly have been more than 12, but he saw clearly that her eyes bore a world-weary look where childish innocence and charm should have been. She looked so much older than her years. Brief flashes of pain, of fire, and words overwhelmed him…
A shield for grief and pain, a vessel for all things bright and beautiful… And through this line, the power to overcome the greatest evil shall be born.
The vision was gone as soon as it started.
Terrowin shook his head, completely confounded and slightly disappointed, poured himself a pot of tea, and settled into his tattered and fading armchair. He drifted off to sleep soon enough, and the little redheaded girl with haunted green eyes was soon forgotten, the first of many times yet to come.
A/N: For those of you who are wondering, no, I did not chose my story title randomly. It does have meaning. In fact, it was inspired by a song of the same name: What if She's an Angel, by Tommy Shane Steiner.
Most of my chapters are inspired/set to a particular song, so I'll give you the name of the song at the end of each chapter. However, for some reason I'm not allowed to post youtube links, but most of the songs are on youtube, so just search the name and singer and it should come up. :)
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed.
