Chapter Ten
When Harry awoke he found himself in a hospital bed with Remus and Sirius beside him,
"Where are they? What about the stone?"
"Calm down Prongslet. We'll answer your questions. Wormtail is in ministry custody. Unfortunately Bellatrix Black escaped. The stone is safe. You saved it. They were close to breaking the shield and you stopped them. Dumbledore had the stone destroyed. Anymore details we missed?"
"Nope"
"Then Harry although we are incredibly proud of you, we don't want you to put yourself in Danger. Okay?"
"Okay but why did Voldemort try to kill me in the first place?"
Sirius and Remus had been expecting this discussion and had made the decision when Harry had been younger to tell him the truth when he asked.
"When your mum was pregnant with you a prophecy was made. I don't know the exact wording. It basically said the one with the power to kill the Dark Lord would be born as the seventh month dies to parents who defied Voldemort three times. It goes on to say the child will be marked by Voldemort and will have a power the Dark Lord knows not and that neither can live while the other survives." Sirius explained
"So I have to kill Voldemort?" asked Harry nervously
"Not really. Think about it, before you heard this. Did you want to kill Voldemort?" Remus asked stepping in
Harry thought for a second before answering,
"Yes. He killed my parents."
"See? You don't have to do anything." Sirius replied
"What does the power thing mean?" Harry asked
"Your mum died saving you, that's why you survived. With that she gave you the power to love. That's an undeniable power." Remus explained.
"Thanks"
"Yeah buddy. We wanted you to know. No secrets, okay?" Sirius answered
"Okay" Harry replied pondering this new information
Soon the school year came to a close. Gryffindor unfortunately lost the Quidditch cup with Harry in the hospital but fortunately winning the House cup. Harry went home older but still happy and ready for summer.
