Harry Potter and the Troublesome Evie
By Trephinia Cealyn
Chapter 23 | A Meeting of Four
Harry waited impatiently at the far table. He spotted Ginny who, on impulse, had brought her flute. He waved to her and she came over. She sat across from him and rested her hands possessively on the flute case. Harry smiled at her and waited for Hermione and Draco.
"What's so urgent?" Ginny said fixing him with an intense stare.
"I'll tell you when everyone arrives." Harry replied calmly. He shifted uncomfortably under her gaze.
"Being secretive are we Potter?" Draco said placing his hand on Ginny's shoulder. He slid a book across the table to Harry. Harry glanced at the title and slid the book into his bag.
"No, I just don't want to repeat myself." Harry explained calmly. He saw Hermione and waved her over.
"Sorry I'm late." She said apologetically and sat next to Harry. She smiled at him and set a very large book on the table.
"We don't mind Granger." Draco said blandly. He sat next to Ginny and placed his wand on the table. "No really we don't mind at all." Draco leaned back in his chair smiling at Harry.
"Be quiet love." Ginny said moving her hand off the flute case and putting it on top of Draco's "Let Harry explain."
Harry set a tiny book on the table and opened it searching for something. He found the page and started to read the page out loud.
"He will be a Parselmouth and he will defeat Voldemort in his first year. Another, the Dragon Lord, will be born about the same time as him into the Malfoy family. The third will be their age also but born into a muggle family. The fourth will be a year younger, from the Weasley house.
They will be the last ones and if they don't succeed then there will be no more. The gods and their memories will disappear."
"What is that?" Draco said grabbing the book. "More prophecies cropped up even though the gods had yet to fail. Voldemort became wary and killed Hycinithia and her husband. The prophecies had said one of the new gods would come from the loins of the old gods and after Voldemort killed Hycinithia he headed for Lily and James who had married and had a son." Draco stopped reading and tossed the book back to Harry. "So we're gods?" Harry nodded.
"I think so." Harry said quietly.
"Then how come I don't have any godly powers or live in the heavens? Huh Potter?" Draco said darkly.
"I don't know." Harry said meekly. He scanned the pages of the book.
"We have certain powers." Hermione said holding the book to her chest. "At least I do." She set the book on the table. "Harry's a Parselmouth, you're a Dragon Lord, Ginny's can play the flute, and I'm a necromancer." Draco turned to stare at her.
"Funny Granger." He said sarcastically. "Very funny."
"She is." Ginny moved her hand from Draco's. "I can play the flute, big deal."
"Magic and Music," Harry said gaining courage, "when used together can be very powerful Ginny."
"Oh." She moved her hand back to Draco's.
"Let's say I believe you. About this god stuff." Draco began. "What are we supposed to do about it?"
"I don't know, my book doesn't say anything." Harry said tapping the tiny book.
"The book Hermione gave you only says a little bit." Draco said. Hermione looked at Harry and narrowed her eyes. He shrugged. "Birds sing, Dragon's rhyme, open the gate, change time." He said poetically.
"That's it!" Hermione said a little to loudly. Madame Pince gave her a stern look. "Ginny your flute, birds sing, Draco's song, Dragon's rhyme, put them together and open the gate. Then we can all change time!" she said it triumphantly.
"One thing though, if there gods then how come they're dying?" Draco questioned. He had pried the book from Harry's hands and was now reading it.
"I don't know." Harry sighed. "Maybe we should ask Dumbledore."
"That's a good idea Potter let's go, let's ask Dumbledore why we can't die, let's tell him our theory on our immortal powers." Draco said this in a very sarcastic tone.
"Dracky! Dracky! Dracky!" Evie ran over. "Dracky guess what!" Evie pulled on his hand.
"Not now Evie." Draco said pushing the girl away.
"It's about the portal Dracky!"
