Harry Potter and the Portents of Doom 4/?
Rated: R contains violence and hints of non-con. Slash of the HP/SS variety in later chapters, also HG/RW.
Authors Notes: I do not own Harry Potter or it's characters, that would be JKR. Subject matter not for children, although nothing too graphic, but be careful when reading just to be on the safe side. I will put appropriate warnings up when we get to the violent Death Eater scenes though. Please heed the warnings.
Reactions and Prophecies
Harry spent the rest of Defense class sitting quietly in the back of the room ignoring Moody completely. He listened to the lesson, but decided then and there that any work he was going to do to prepare for NEWTS would be outside of the classroom. There wasn't anything Moody could teach that Harry wanted to learn. Moody didn't seem to like Harry's attitude however, and called on him more than any other student throughout the class.
Lunch was spent with Harry alternating his glare between Dumbledore and Moody. For once Snape did not even enter his mind. As far as Harry was concerned he was through listening to his teachers, especially if this is the way they acted.
He was quiet most of the day, although he took detailed notes in both Charms and Herbology. Not having to worry about Potions first thing in the morning improved the Trios mood considerably, so that by the time dinner rolled around, even with the added stress of the confrontation in DADA, they were getting back into the swing of things at Hogwarts.
Harry was tense the longer dinner ran however, worrying about what his friends would do once they heard the prophecy. He did not have to wait long however, because a few minutes later Ron had finished his pudding for desert.
"All done." Ron announced patting his stomach contentedly. "Hogwarts food is almost as tasty as Mum's is."
"Can't you think of anything but food?" Hermione asked exasperated by Ron's single-mindedness. "Or did you forget Harry still needs to talk to us about something important."
"Oh yeah, well what are we waiting for, mate? Come on." Ron answered getting quickly to his feet. The other two followed close behind, never noticing the pair of black piercing eyes following their exit.
The trio slowed down once they left the Great Hall to a leisurely stroll, content to let Harry travel at his own pace. It was over thirty minutes later that they finally arrived at the room of requirements. Upon the third walk-by, Harry entered the room and gasped at the homey atmosphere. There was a large fire going in the fireplace and comfortable recliners in front of the fire. On a nearby end table three cups of still-steaming hot chocolate and small sandwiches sat. Each of which was picked up by one of the trio.
"At the Department of Mysteries, right after… well anyway, after Dumbledore and Tom fought, the headmaster port-keyed me back to his office. After Dumbledore returned he told me what Voldemort was after."
"We already knew it was a prophecy, but it was destroyed."
"Yes it was, but fortunately or not depending on your perspective, Dumbledore heard the original prophecy."
From there Harry went on to explain the details of the prophecy, and about ignoring him for much of the previous year. By the time he was finished speaking all three were teary eyed, although Hermione was the only one who was actually crying.
"I understand if you don't want to be around me, knowing I'll become a murderer…" Harry told them, only to be cut off as Hermione threw herself at him tearfully,
"Don't you ever say that again, Harry Potter. We love you and we're going to be with you every step of the way."
"Yeah, mate, whether you like it or not. So what's this mysterious power you have, huh?"
"Just like that?" Harry asked in shock.
"Just like that." Hermione told him softly. "We'll have to research this in the library as soon as possible."
"How did I know she was going to say that?" Ron asked Harry, as they all smiled at each other, content for a time simply to be together.
