The Weapon The Dark Lord Knows Not
Chapter 1- A New Prophecy
A weapon the Dark Lord knows not,
Something the Chosen One must have.
She has great power, a true spirit, and possesses the third eye.
Find her, the Chosen One must, for without her he will surely loose.
She resides in the New World, the one that was last found.
In the place where our kind were hung for the sins of others.
Professor Dumbledore quickly leaned forward to steady Professor Trawnsley. She blinked several times, as the glaze over her eyes seemed to slowly disappear. She looked dazed for a moment and then started to cough.
"Oh, Hello sir." She greeted Dumbledore and then turned to look at the two others who were standing next to him. "Minerva, Snape." She nodded towards then to acknowledge their presence, they both had bewildered looks on their faces.
She didn't really like them, they scared her and she tried to avoid them both as much as possible, especially the potions master… he gave her the creeps. She turned to the Headmaster.
"Are you in need of my services?" she asked in her usual mystical tone.
"No, No. Thank you very much." Dumbledore said kindly with a rather odd twinkle in his eyes.
"Of course." She paused "I knew you wouldn't."
She quickly walked in the direction of her classroom. She had just come back from lunch in the staff room and was eager to take a long nap, for some strange reason she was very tired. She was glad that it was summer and she didn't have any classes to teach. She was also glad that students were not here to pester her about wanting to be in the other divination class, taught by that insufferable horse Frienze.
As she walked into her class she came up with nasty things that she wished would happen to the new addition of the school's staff while Professors Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall were still in the hall right outside the staff room.
"Severus, Minerva," Dumbledore addressed them both calmly. "I think its safe to say that what you both have heard is top secret and very classified and under no circumstances without my permission are you allowed to reveal what was heard to anyone. The outcome of this war depends solely on this information."
"Of course" McGonagall answered quickly.
"Yes sir" Snape merely nodded his head.
"But Albus…" McGonagall asked in a worried tone "What exactly does it mean?"
Dumbledore smiled and then turned and faced both of the professors. "It means," he paused and a twinkle re-entered his eyes " that we are one step closer to defeating the Dark Lord."
Snape and McGonagall were both confused but they did not push for more details. "Severus, now that we have this new information, I think it would be wise if we were to recruit more members for the Order don't you think?" Snape and McGonagall both stared at the headmaster with a look of complete confusion on both of their faces.
"I would go, but I have a more important manner to attend to and Minerva will have to stay while both you and I are gone so she can see to the New Year." Dumbledore said as he addressed Snape. Snape and McGonagall both still bewildered just nodded their heads. " Maybe you should start your search for more members in America," The head master paused.
"I think that Salem, Massachusetts is a good place to start looking for the recruits that we require."
A look of realization dawned on both of the professors' faces. Dumbledore merely smiled and bid them farewell but before he was out of earshot he turned to face them.
"Oh, and Severus, I think it is time to check up on your godson and his mother before you leave on your other mission and assist them however you can." He turned, smiling, and walked away quickly, leaving both of the professors staring after him…
