Chapter Twenty: More about the Prophecy
The week after I'd found out that my mom was still alive and kicking Harry, Hermione, Ron and I were in the library just looking through things because we happened to be bored. I was looking through a joke book at my dad's advice, and I had Ron looking over my shoulder. Harry was reading about Quidditch, and Hermione had a large stack of books that she was just skimming through.
"Ooo, look at this!" she said as she flipped a page.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's about that prophecy we're supposed to fulfill."
"What's it say?"
Hermione cleared her throat. "Four children will conquer an all powerful evil. To fulfill this prophecy one child must regain their family, one must break away from theirs, one must not trust a brother, and one must convince their parents to let them leave the house for a time. These things must be done in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled. There are also more tasks. One for each child. One must have 20 of one."
"What?" interrupted Ron
"Shhh! Let me finish." Hermione started up again "one must leave a house, one must find the clue to where the dark evil is, and one must grow or shrink."
"What does that mean?" asked Harry.
"Well use logic." Said Hermione "Ron you have brothers, so that one about not trusting a brother must go for you. The question is which one. Now who would break away from a family?"
We were silent for a while trying to think.
"Me!" yelled Harry. "Sirius is free, so I'm leaving the Dursley's. I'm breaking away."
"Right." I joined in. "no wait. It could go to me, because I'm kind of breaking away from my muggle family, and regaining could go to Harry, because now he's got my mom and dad. And convincing a parent would go to you Hermione I think."
She nodded "but I'm not sure about you an Harry. It might be the other way around. It makes more sense the other way I think."
"She's right." Said Ron.
"Ok." Said Harry "so let's get the bottom line. 20 of one, leave a house, find a clue, and shrink or grow. This ones harder."
"Yeah, but let's think." Hermione rubbed her temples. "20 of one. What's that?"
"Wait," said Ron "could it be Illusions?"
"You're right! So it either Aphi or I."
"Now shrink and grow, or find a clue, or leave a house." Said Harry.
"I don't think we can get those now. Finding a clue is vague anyone could find one." I said, "leaving a house. We all leave houses during the summer, and shrinking or growing. Sounds like some thing that has to do with charms or transfiguration."
"Well who's best in charms?"
We were silent because we were all about the same.
"Ok transfiguration?" Tried Hermione.
"Aphi!" said Harry and Ron together.
I blushed.
"Ok we've got that then. So we know two of the. We can leave the rest until later. I'll check the book out."
Hermione went over to the counter to talk to Madam Pince.
(A/n-This chapter sucked, I think. The next ones will be more exciting. Nothing to say really.)
