Chapter 14: The Prophesy

"So," Harry said to his friends the day after his birthday (his team had won the game) "We have a month before school. I got all of my school supplies for my birthday."

"And our parents have already gotten our items." Ron added.

"Now what?" Hermione asked.

Harry had a decent idea of what HE wanted to do. However, he didn't want Ron, Hermione, or anyone else involved.

He wanted to go on and defeat Voldemort while he was still fairly weak.

"Enter." Dumbledore said.

The door opened to reveal Harry.

"Ah. Harry. How may I help you?"

"Have you heard anything about Voldemort?" Harry asked.

"None." Dumbledore replied almost worriedly

"Odd." Harry said. "I've been feeling twinges in my scar."

"Have you had any dreams?" Dumbledore asked.

"No." Harry answered. He was getting worried. "Do you have any other spies?"

"None. Severus is the only one." Dumbledore said. "The other Death Eaters are too loyal to Voldemort."

"That's all I wanted to know." Harry said as he left.

After Harry left the office, he broke out into a run. Ever since his grandmother released the extra powers, he had gotten better at divinations. He had even seen Ron and Hermione snogging in the crystal ball, only to find them in the library doing the same thing he had seen.

"Enter." Trelawney said.

Harry opened the door.

"Ah. Mr. Potter. I saw that you were coming." Trelawney said.

"Yeah. Sure." Harry said not believing a word. "I was wondering if you could…answer a question I have about divinations."

"Of course Har…"

Suddenly, her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Harry leaned in and listened to the prediction.

"THE DARK LORD WILL DISCOVER NOT ALL OF HIS SUBJECTS ARE LOYAL. THE DOG, THE WOLF, AND THE STAG WILL TRY TO SAVE THE SPY BUT WILL BE CAPTURED. THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THEM IS THE FIREBIRD WHO IS ALSO A FAIRY. THE DARK LORD WILL MEET HIS END IF HE CROSSES PATHS WITH THE FIREBIRD AT THE VEIL. THE DARK LORD WILL DISCOVER NOT ALL FO HIS SUBJECTS ARE LOYAL" She predicted.

The professor suddenly jerked back to reality.

"Are you alright, Harry?" she asked. "You seem awfully pale."

Harry had gone pale during the prediction.

"I have to find the Marauders." He said as he ran out of the room.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE GONE?!" Harry yelled at his grandfather

"Dumbledore has reason to believe that Snape had been caught." Charles explained calmly. "So, he sent Remus, Sirius, and your Dad to save Snape. It took some convincing from Lily to get them to do it."

"I have to go see Dumbledore." Harry said as he broke out into a run.

Dumbledore was in his office when the door burst open to reveal a panting Harry.

"Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Trelawney…prediction…deep voice…real." Harry panted.

"Dobby!"

"How can Dobby help the Headmaster?" Dobby said after appearing. His eyes brightened when he saw Harry.

"Get Harry a glass of water." Dumbledore instructed leading Harry to a chair.

"Right away, Sir." Dobby said disappearing with a crack.

"What did she say?" Dumbledore asked

"The Dark Lord…will discover…not all of his…subjects are… loyal….The dog,… the wolf,…and the stag…will try to save….the spy but… will be…captured… The only… one… who can save… them is… the Firebird… who is also a fairy…. The Dark Lord… will meet… his end… if he crosses… paths with…the Firebird…at the veil… It then repeats." Harry repeated while panting.

"Do you know what it means?" Dumbledore asked the boy wondering if Harry translated.

Dobby reappeared with a crack.

Harry nodded as a house-elf handed him a glass of water.

"Basically." Harry said after taking a sip of water and catching his breath. "Voldemort's on to Snape and Dad, Remus, and Sirius will try to save him. However, they'll be captured. The only one who can save them is a Phoenix that can turn into a fairy."

"Or a multimagus?" Dumbledore said looking at Harry over the rim of his glasses.

"You know about that?" Harry asked guiltily. "I thought I made it look as if I was a wolf animagus."

"You did. However, Fawkes saw otherwise."

"You blabbed, didn't you?" Harry asked the Phoenix.

Fawkes merely sang innocently.

"What can I do?" Harry asked. "I'm underage. I don't think the Marauders and Snape will last until I'm seventeen. I JUST turned fifteen."

"There IS a loophole in the underage magic decree." Dumbledore informed the teen. "Magic may be used in life threatening situations."

"Things don't get much life threatening than a boy Voldemort wants dead facing him." Harry said while rolling his eyes.

"I'd advise taking your father's cloak to the Ministry." Dumbledore said with a wink.
