Disclaimer: Amazing world too complex for me to come up with. :)

October 2nd, 1979

A couple sat in front of the fireplace with their newborn child. The flames swayed side to side and lit up the room along with appropriately placed candles to set the mood. The room would've smelled of burning wood if it weren't for the sweet pea scented candles.

Even if the room smelled horrendously, the joyful couple wouldn't have cared at all as their attention was focused on the tiny bundle of joy in her father's arms. The infant cooed lovingly at her parents as she went in and out of her nap.

The tot boasted a thin layer of curly dirty blonde hair. Her hazel eyes and her cute button nose were undeniably mesmerizing. Her parents admired everything about her as she was the mixture of the two. A perfect miniature created by Ulysses and Emilia Dagworth.

The little one took on her mother's dirty blonde hair and also of her father's unruly curly hair. She also got her father's nose but her mother's lips and eyes. If Emilia were being honest, she would say that the child is her spitting image but of course, she would never say that out loud because it would hurt her husband's ego.

A few hours ago, they visited the ministry's department of mysteries with their child in tow. A strict policy that dates back to a few hundred years ago stated that every magical newborn must be brought to the department of mysteries to have their prophecy documented along with their important information such as their date of birth, sex, and true wizarding name in the span of thirty days after birth.

This rule is not as strictly applied to muggleborns because they can simply be born without magic or with magic. For magical muggles, it is harder for their parents to come in for the deliverance because it would be difficult to believe that their child has a drop of magic in their blood when the parents clearly don't.

The ministry of magic once tried to apply this to muggleborns but it turned out to be close to impossible and would be dangerous to magical folks if they knocked on random people's doorsteps to check their child for magic.

Muggleborns who attend wizarding schools were subjected to get matched for their prophecies and their true wizarding name and it takes such a long process to figure out whose prophecy is whose. But since most muggleborns come up with empty prophecies, some don't bother waiting for them.

This policy wasn't just for formality, of course; it also came with a consequence if not correctly done. If this policy wasn't followed to the t, it would curse the child and their future bearings. Most think that the curse is an urban legend but in a world filled with magic, anything is possible.

Some also believe that the curse that comes with the policy is living without magic or becoming a squib. As most families believe that a child becoming a squib is the worst thing that could happen after death, they follow the policy and try to make no mistakes.

The ministry of magic bustled with the usual workers in their wizarding robes and paper planes roaming through the air. The couple walked through the crowd and into the lifts to get to their desired department's floor. A few minutes later, the lift almost empties and they reach their destination.

The eeriness of the department kicked in right after they got off the lift. Even the tot felt queasy and started fussing. As Ulysses tried to make the newborn feel better, Emilia walked the familiar halls and headed to the main office. The wizard at the reception greeted her as he recognized her from the wall dedicated to the best unspeakables to ever walk the department along with five others.

The reception room consisted of tattered couches and armchairs provided for the visitors. A dull wall that hasn't been repainted for a while and coffee tables with old magazines. Two families sat on separate couches waiting for their turn.

Emilia inquired about the prophecy deliverance and was asked to wait at least thirty minutes. She sat on one of the couches along with her husband and child and waited for their turn. The wait didn't take as long as it usually would because the two couples they were after didn't take awhile inside the deliverance room.

The short deliverances usually consist of an empty prophecy and more of a formality to give their child's information but still mandatory. The lengthy deliverances only occur to newborns who will hold power in the wizarding world or create a huge difference, good or bad.

After the second couple came out of the deliverance room quickly, relief was evident on their faces. Most families wish for a short deliverance as it will ensure that their child would have a safe and mundane life. Not everyone wishes to be extraordinary but some can be disappointed that their child wouldn't be living to their expectations.

The Dagworth's turn came and they entered the room ready to face their child's future, whether it's mundane and empty or phenomenal and eventful. The room was dark and the only thing that lit up the room was the orb in the midst of darkness. They walked to the orb to face it's magnificent light.

Ulysses held the tot in his arms as Emilia took off the baby's left mit. Emilia took her child's hand gently and pressed her pointer finger onto the magical ball. It took awhile before anything happened and the child was beginning to fuss but Emilia did everything she can not to disrupt the deliverance. Words started appearing in the air as if someone invisible was writing them.

'A child brought up in light will force you to be in darkness… The mind who will aid in the defying of a great evil… One to be subjected to confusion and hurt but to be immersed in purity…'

Notes: Bit too short huh? SO SORRY but this whole chapter took four hours to make! And its only like 1000 words, can't believe I'm back again to share my ideas! :) Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will try my best to update this story every week and eventually finish it. Wish me luck so I can find time between my busy schedule at school! I hope you understand the mistakes in this story as I currently don't have a beta and would probably not have one for a long time.

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to leave a review, favorite, and follow the story to get alerts when it's updated! :)
