The Legend---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Harry, Harry," Someone was tapping his shoulder. "HARRY"

Harry lifted his head, his eyes still closed, "I didn't do it sir, honestly, I just came downstairs and there they were,"

"HARRY"

"It wasn't me sir, I promise you,"

"HARRY,"

Harry snapped awake. Professor Dumbledore was there.

"Harry I think you had a bad dream. Your face fell right into the chicken. You better hurry because your friend will be here in 20 minutes time."

Harry started to hurry up his eating.

He raced to the Gryffindor tower and changed.

He was in the Entrance hall in 15 minutes.

5 minutes later, Hermione came into the entrance hall.

"HARRY!"

"Hi, Hermione."

She grabbed him in a hug.

"Where's Dumbledore?"

"He's in his office. He told us to go there when you got there."

"Well, what are we waiting for?"

They set off to Dumbledore's office.

"Zonko's" Harry said the password.

And they went onto the escalator like stairs going up to Dumbledore's office.

***********************In Dumbledore's office******************************

"Harry, Hermione, sit down."

They each sat on a squashy armchair.

"I will do this in opposite order. You ask the questions first, then, after giving explanations for these questions, I will explain the whole thing afterward."

Harry and Hermione exchanged glances then they both nodded.

Harry said, "I think we both want to know what happened to Ron?"

Dumbledore closed his eyes for a moment, "I am sure that you will not take this well but, here goes. Ron, I am sorry to say, is not with us anymore. Nor is his family but for a different reason. I will explain this whole thing at the end.

Hermione was crying and Harry looked pale.

"But sir, isn't there anything we can do?"

"I'm afraid not. Ron has chosen his own path."

Harry and Hermione moved to the couch. Hermione buried her face in Harry's shoulder and Harry stroked her hair.

"So, what exactly happened?" Harry asked

"Two days ago, some death eaters, along with Voldermort showed up at the Burrow. All the family was there and he killed them. All except Ron. Except Ron is now worse than dead, he is a Death Eater."

Hermione wailed at this. "Ron, a death eater. I can't stand it."

Harry was beyond tears. The whole Weasley family gone? Now he'd never be able to get away from the Dursley's. He'd be there for the rest of his life.

Finally he asked Dumbledore, "Are you sure that they are all gone?"

"Not completely. There is a very slim chance that some how, just a slim chance, remember, that they could all be alive." He answered, "I really don't know how it came to be, but there is a thin line in their blood stream that could make it so that they can only die of natural causes. Meaning that Voldermort wouldn't be able to kill them. This is only a hope and legend remember so don't plan on it."

Harry and Hermione just stared at Dumbledore.

Hermione said, "Sir can you please tell us the legend?"

"Yes, but I want you to take note that you are also a part of it. You will get extra training this year for it."

They exchanged glances.

"OK" They both said at once.

"OK then, well here it is." Dumbledore said." He pulled out a small ancient looking scroll.

"Many days will go by with this trio as friends. Another will join and together they will fight for good against evil. They shall receive spirit names upon which they will use in the fight. The smallest shall be Jewel. For she is seen as a jewel to 2 others. Another, sweet, Kindness she possesses. For she will also be the smartest in everything but the rest. She will bear the name of Rosweeta, good friends to all the other. The next, a brother to another, shall bear the sign of a weasel shall have a name so different from the others. a name of gold and friendship but not as smart as all the rest. He shall receive the name of Baxter. The noblest one will lead the army to battle, with moral support behind him. He has seen great battle, Taken it with no fright, and will bear the name so close to an ancestor, of Gidroc. Together they will fight. With others to help them. All the soldiers must be under the age of 17 or they will be lost. This battle will go on for 1 whole year and soon one side will win. It will start at summers first gleam and set those not in it apart from those to battle. One side will take over the other and other will bow down low.

All will fight with unspoken power. Terrible things will happen to 2 but soon will come back with others. Many will help and give advice to the leader. Those older than age will watch with rage as one side seems defeated. A light will glow and then it will snow and the side seemed defeated will come back with power."

There was a long pause. Then Hermione, no longer crying but smiling, said, "so are you sure it is us?"

"Positive."

"Can you tell us what it means?"

"Only a small bit. We know about part of it but not the rest."

"So what do you know?"

"Well here is our description of what we know." Dumbledore said, "Many days will go by with this trio as friends. Another will join and together they will fight for good against evil. They shall receive spirit names upon which they will use in the fight. We think that this means you three, Ron and you two, and then one other, and we think it is Ginny. And then you will of course get spirit names. The smallest shall be Jewel. For she is seen as a jewel to 2 others. This we think will be Ginny's name because she is the smallest. We think that she is seen as a jewel by Ron because she is his sister. But we don't know who the other one is that she is considered a jewel by."

Hermione chuckled to herself at this. She had an idea at who the other was because Harry had gone pink.

"Another, sweet, Kindness she possesses. For she will also be the smartest in everything but the rest. She will bear the name of Rosweeta, good friends to all the other. This we think is Hermione, for you are the smartest student in the school. But we don't know what it means in saying 'all but the rest'."

"Sir, I think that since they are referring to the battle, that it means that I am not good at battle strategies, because I'm not."

"Thank you then for solving that part of the legend. That means that your spiritual name will be Rosweeta. Then the next part, a brother to another, shall bear the sign of a weasel shall have a name so different from the others. A name of gold and friendship but not as smart as all the rest. He shall receive the name of Baxter. We think is Ron, because Ginny is his sister. Also we think that weasel and Weasley are some how related. And Finally the last one we think is you, Harry, for it says the noblest one will lead the army to battle, with moral support behind him. He has seen great battle, Taken it with no fright, and will bear the name, so close to an ancestor, of Gidroc. And you certainly are noble. And you have already beaten Voldemort many times, and Harry, we never told you but you are a direct descendant of Godric Gryffindor and Gidroc is Godric with switched vowels. The next part says, together they will fight. With others to help them. All the soldiers must be under the age of 17 or they will be lost. This means that you must choose carefully, you will be able to choose any army from anywhere. You will hold auditions on November first for as many days as you need. But they have to be 15 or under because we can't afford to lose them. Any older, you can choose as close advisors, but they can't be soldiers. You will learn more about that part later. After that it says this battle will go on for 1 whole year and soon one side will win. It will start at summers first gleam and set those not in it apart from those to battle. One side will take over the other and other will bow down low. We think that this means that obviously it will go on for 1 year, and it will start on the first day of summer, and one side will win.

After that, all will fight with unspoken power. This means all will have greater power during the battle. Then, Terrible things will happen to 2 but soon will come back with others. Part of this has already happened, and we think that Ginny will bring back from the dead, those that have been killed by Voldemort. Lastly, Many will help and give advice to the leader. Those older than age will watch with rage as one side seems defeated. A light will glow and then it will snow and the side seemed defeated will come back with more power.So others will help you Harry, and we think that our side is the side that will seem defeated, when a light glows and so on. So this part I think will happen in the winter.
