Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the plot and a few characters. The rest is JKR's. I had to update this chapter because its original copy didn't fit with the rest of the story as I have it planned out.
Deep in the Hall of Prophecy laid one smooth, clear orb, very similar to others on the shelf next to it. What was different about this one, what made it so essential for upcoming events, was that it held a secret that had resided in myth and legend for the past one thousand years. What was about to become exposed was the greatest secret in the history of Hogwarts and a magical secret that would stun the wizarding world. This is the Prophecy of the Serpent:
With the secret lays the dormant crown,
Awakened only by ancient sound.
The heart of Hogwarts will be free again
At her cousin's mortal end.
The heir of the serpent is soon returning
To be joined by the ice-prince plagued by burning.
The dark flower takes on the reigns of death
Along with those of soulful breath.
Magic is the stake, heart, and key
To unlocking its own destiny.
Gold needs to trust its silver friends
For wizard-kind to escape its end.
Voldemort had been defeated, yet another evil is about to take up the reins of death and magic. Everything is about to change.
