On deck, the mood was solemn. Queen Granger had not left her chambers since the death of the king of Ravenclaw. Even the seas, were unforgiving. Huge waves tossed and turned their boats. Rain fell from the sky with no sign of stopping.
As the ship sailed towards Hogwarts Castle for an emergency meeting with Albus Dumbledore, the group on board pondered on what had recently happened.
Henry and John were both thinking about the same question. What was this issue about a new prophecy?
Soon, the group arrived at the meeting hall of Hogwarts Castle. Albus Dumbledore was sitting at the head of the table, his eyes looking incredibly weary as if he had not slept for days.
"Greetings my friends. I know we just been dealt an incredible blow to our pride - what with the fall of Ravenclaw and death of King Granger, but we must keep looking towards the light!" Dumbledore said firmly.
"What's this about a new prophecy? And what is this about a prophecy concerning my baby brother?" Henry demanded.
"Ah, I was afraid you might ask that. I was hoping that we could avoid the situation but I guess it's best that I reveal the contents of both prophecy. I will catch Harry, Ron and Hermione with details of the prophecies when they returned from their expedition,"
"Alright. The first prophecy was told to me by Sybil Trelawney, President of the Council for Seer Affairs of Gryffindor. At first, I thought she was a bit of a fraud but I have reason the to believe that this was an actual prophecy," Dumbledore waved his wand and fiery words appeared.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...

"I have reason to believe that prophecy points towards Harry Potter. Harry is after all the son of James and Lily Potter. Both James and Lily were Order members, who defied Voldemort three times. Harry is also born as the seven month dies,"
"But then, why couldn't the prophecy be about me?" Henry enquired.
"You see, here's where the second part of the prophecy comes into play. It states that the Dark Lord will mark him as an equal. I have personally analyzed the scars on both your foreheads. Harry's scar is the only scar filled with dark magic."
"What do you mean it's filled with dark magic?" Henry and Sirius exclaimed.
"I mean just what I said. I have tried to remove the dark magic inside it but effort is futile. I'm doing the best as I can to research on ways to get rid of it,"
"You better old man. This is my baby brother we are talking about," Henry snarled.
"Anyway, what's this about a second prophecy," Arthur Weasley said, trying to steer the conversation back on track.
"Actually, the prophecy was quite recently revealed to me. It was again made by Sybil Trelawney."
With another wave of his wand, fiery words appeared in the air.

They gather now, they who would stand by the Chosen One,
His six companions, bonded by love deep and true
The Warrior, his friend, his protector
The Wise Lady, his sister in all but blood, his font of knowledge
The Strategist, his best friend, his right hand
The Green Lord, his equal in power, his general
The Seer, his sister in all but blood, his guide
The White Ram, saved from Evil, his left hand
Training they need together, to defeat the Dark Lord
Let not one be lost or all will be for naught
And the Dark Lord will defeat the Chosen one

"This prophecy is more intricate and complex. It refers to seven people. As of now, I have deduced six people to be suitable candidates for the prophecy,"
"Harry of course is the Chosen One. Ron and Hermione will of course be The Strategist and The Wise Lady respectively,"
"Henry should most likely be the Green Lord. Henry is Harry's twin and everyone knows that magical twins are equal in power to each other," Sirius said.
"This is right my boy. The Warrior should be John Weasley. After all, John is a formidable warrior as you all know and John has saved Harry's life countless times in the past so it would make sense that John is his protector,"
"But who would be The Seer?" Molly Weasley enquired.
"That would be Jean," Queen Granger whispered.
"Jean? She's a seer?" Henry, together with everyone else apart from Dumbledore and the Queen Granger asked.
"Yup. She manifested and first shown her ability when she was ten. It started out as small things like predicting when the rain will come. Eventually, bigger predictions occurred. She has not said her first true prophecy yet but I believe with time she will. I believe she is a true seer,"
"Oh," That was all the rest could say as they pondered on the knowledge.
"But that's only six people. Who's the White Ram?" Sirius said.
"Well, that's a mystery right?" Dumbledore said mysteriously. "And yes, I do not know who the White Ram is but I believe with time, whoever the person is will be revealed,"
"Alright, if that's all for the first part of the meeting, we shall move on to the more crucial second part. We need to plan our retaliation against Slytherin. They must pay, with or without blood," Sirius said.
