Back in
the common room...
"Rachel-wake-up!" Remus shouted and
with each word he shook her.
Hannah was
cut short by an owl that had just come through the window.
"Wonder
who it's from?" Lily said
"Well it's for me so..."
Hannah began as she opened the letter and read,
"Dear Hannah
It's so good to see you after what happened over the summer. I
hope you have found it in your heart to forgive me. There is
something I want to tell you about your 'boyfriend' I'm not trying to
be interfering or anything, I just think you have a right to know I'm
only telling you this because I care about you. You see your
'boyfriend' is a werewolf. I just thought you needed to know.
Hope
to see you soon
Perry. "
Hannah dropped the letter in shock
and ran to her trunk next to her bed and pulled out a piece of
parchment
She handed
it over to Lily and said.
"This is my prophecy."
"Why
are you giving it to me?" Lily asked.
"Read it."
Lily read ,
"Lose
five outta of seven
Two whom you love
Three whom you care
Two left you can trust
One who you lose forever
gain
Three enemies
all will use
Two will hate but one will
care."
"What does that mean?" They asked.
"Right
lose five out of seven that means Sirius, Remus, James, Peter
and Rachel. Two whom you love that's Sirius and Remus. Three
whom you care That means Rachel, James and Peter. Two left you
can trust means you guys. One who you lose forever I don't
know what this means yet. Gain three enemies Snape, Malfoy and
Perry. All will use Means all of them will use me. Two will
hate but one will care two of them will hate me but one will
care." Hannah answered.
"Wait." Natalie said. "I
think I know what that that bit means."
"What?"
They asked.
"I think it means that 1 of them will die, it's
the only explanation."
Hannah and
Lily gasped and Hannah said
"And I just worked out who hates
me and who cares about me. Malfoy and Snape hate me and Perry cares
about me."
"But, back to the other line, if that is
true and one of them does die." Lily said "Who's it gonna
be?"
"I don't know, but I'm gonna have to warn Sirius,
even if I'm not talking to him." Hannah muttered.
"It
won't matter anyway, no one will die." Natalie said
confidently.
"Oh and how did you work that one out?"
Hannah snapped.
"Because, you see I have this sort of power,
a guard power." Natalie said "It means that no one can harm
any of my friends, as long as I'm friends with them." She added
looking at the two blank faces.
"Er newsflash, we aren't
FRIENDS with them at the moment!" Hannah shot at her.
"Rachel!" Remus was so scared now. "Rachel please get up!" Rachel head fell back.
Vision…
Rachel
was no in a room were there was a baby crying and a woman with Lily's
kind of hair - was Lily hushing the baby.
The door banged open
and Lily turned quickly and hid the baby from the intruder's eyes.
"Not Harry, please not Harry!" Lily pleaded. There was
a scream then a flash of green light.
Reality…
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Rachel waking up screaming "Oh my god!"
"There's
only one thing for it, I'm gonna have to tell them." Hannah
said.
"But how, you haven't got your owl with you?"
Natalie and Lily asked.
"I'm an animagus OK." Hannah
said "That's one of my two powers, I'm also a metamorphosis."
"But I still don't understand. How are you gonna tell them?"
Lily asked
"My animagus is an owl, so now you see why I
don't need an owl." Hannah replied
Hannah quickly wrote a
note and transformed and flew out of the window with the note in her
beak. She flew into the boys' dorm and dropped the note onto
Sirius' bed.
"Who's owls that?" Remus asked.
"I
ain't an owl." Hannah snapped as she transformed. She turned and
saw Rachel crying. "What's wrong with her."
"Nothing
to do with you." Rachel snapped through her tears
"Fine
then." Hannah shot at her. "Sirius, read this when I'm gone
OK." And with that retransformed and flew back out of the
window.
"Is
there anything the girl cant do?" Asked Remus.
"Yes,
apparently, she can't get Rach here to tell her anything."
Sirius said. Rachel laughed a short lived laugh. Rachel's blue eyes
were pulling at Remus' heartstrings.
"What did the letter
say, Padfoot?" Asked James.
Sirius opened the letter and read
IT'S BEGUN
"What's
that supposed 2 mean?" James asked
"Wait there is
something else." Sirius said
Lose five outta of seven
Two whom you love
Three whom you care
Two left you can
trust
One who you lose forever
gain Three enemies
all
will use
Two will hate but one will care
"Wait,
this is Hannah's prophecy, I think she means that it's began to
happen." Sirius said and then he gasped as he read the bit in
bold. "I think she's trying to tell us something."
"Wait,
one lost forever… That might mean..." James said slowly.
"You
don't mean that one of us might DIE?" Remus asked.
"I
think so, I'm not sure." James answered.
"But who?"
Rachel asked. "How?"
"I don't know." James
said.
"Wait,
let me see that." Rachel said. Sirius handed her the letter.
She read it out loud but more to herself then them.
Lose
five outta of seven
Two whom you love
Three whom you care
Two left you can trust
One who you lose forever
gain
Three enemies
all will use
Two will hate but one will care
"1 who you lose 4eva... Oh my god! LILY!" Rachel screeched.
meanwhile
Hannah was back in her dorm and was re-reading her letter and she
was shaking with anger.
"I'm gonna KILL him." Hannah
screamed.
"Kill who?" Lily asked.
"Who do you
think?" Hannah snapped. "He had no right! He should've kept
his nose outta my business."
"So I'm guessing Perry."
Natalie said.
"Uh uh, I mean what's he trying to achieve, I
can't believe he went and asked SNAPE about something he could use as
a way of gettin me back." Hannah said.
She picked up a quill and a piece of parchment and wrote a Howler saying
YOU HAD NO RIGHT IN SAYING WHAT YOU SAID. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME, THE ONLY THING YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF AND TRYING YO GET ME BACK. IT AIN'T GONNA WORK I'M WITH REMUS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, I DON'T CARE IF HE'S A WEREWOLF! HE'S STILL MY FRIEND, AND NOTHING YOU SAY CAN CHANGE THAT!
"Rachel what's Hannah's letter got to do with Lilly?" Asked Sirius confused.
"I had a
vision of a wedding... Some evil wizard... Lily with a baby and -
and-" Tears started to stream down Rachel's face. "And Lily
being killed...And-" An image started to form in Rachel's mind
"And a boy with the trademark potter hair and Lilly's unique
green eyes and a scar in the shape of a bolt of lightning." The
marauders were staring at her. "I've got to get to Hannah."
Rachel turned to leave.
"Um, one problem..." She
stopped in mid action.
"I have to find her regardless of
whether she is talking to me or not! Lives are at stake!" With
that she flung the door open and ran she didn't know where. She just
followed her heart and instincts. She came to a halt in front of
Hannah on the third floor.
"Hannah - I - need - you - to -
explain your prophecies as clear as you can." Rachel said
panting.
"Why should I?" Snarled Hannah.
"Because
I had a vision and lives are at stake!" Rachel got out through
gritted teeth and Hannah paled and took a deep breath and started to
explain.
"Well
my prophecy is
Lose five outta of seven
Two whom you love
Three whom you care
Two left you can trust
One who you
lose forever
gain Three enemies
all will use
Two will
hate but one will care
It means that I'll lose five outta seven
people, I think that's you, Remus, James, Sirius and Peter. Two of
the people I love, Three of them I care about.
Two left I
think is Lily and Natalie. One lost forever is one of you five. Three
enemies are Snape, Malfoy and Perry. All of them will use me and two
will hate me but one of them will 'care'." Hannah tried to catch
her breath.
"Wait a minute, what did u say about the one lost
forever?" Rachel asked.
"That it's one of you guys,
that's why I gave you that warning." Hannah replied.
"This
doesn't make sense." Rachel said confused. "'Cause I had
a vision and in it... Lily… dies."
"What?"
Hannah asked. "That means that two people die." Hannah
looked as if she were about to cry.
The
problem was at this point in time no-one would have guessed that
three people were going to die. Lily and James being two of them.
"What are we gonna do?" Rachel asked.
"I really
don't know I just wish I never got that stupid prophecy and then none
of this would ever happen." Hannah said tears welling in her
eyes.
"Or my vision." Rachel added. "At least we
know something's going to happen now."
"And I would
rather not know, because we don't know when this is gonna happen."
Hannah said tears now trickling down her cheeks.
"Hey, it's
alright you know." Rachel said to her.
"How?"
Hannah asked.
"Well at least we can try and prevent it."
Rachel pointed out "I'm gonna go back to the boys alright?"
"Yeah." Hannah muttered. "Oh and by the way tell
your brother I know his little secret."
"How did you
find out?" Rachel asked her quietly.
"This." Hannah
gave Rachel the letter and when she had read it, she was furious
"The little fucker I'm gonna kill him." Rachel
shrieked.
"And you think I'm not?" Hannah asked. "I've
already sent him a howler."
The girl's fell silent, once again Hannah decided to voice her doubts
"What
can we do?" Asked Hannah. "Our future has been told."
"Our choices change our destiny and future it isn't set in
stone." Said Rachel.
"Ok." Said Hannah wiping her
tears.
Tears rolled down the girls' cheeks, which were quickly wiped away when they heard footsteps...
Lily
appeared with Natalie and the Marauders.
"We demand to know
what you saw in that vision concerning me." Said Lily.
