Chapter 3- discussion
After we read the prophecy I spoke up, I said, " But what is all of this supposed to mean? I get the beginning it is talking about the wizarding world and our situations. Then the part about our hearts is about loneliness and then on line 9 and 10 it talks about our situations again. From their on it's a mystery to me. Draco what do you make of it?" He took up the prophecy again and looked at Dumbledore who said, " Go on Draco, give it a whirl."
So Draco cleared his throat and said, " Well the next line is about this morning when I found you. I saved you, and then you saved me from your brother and the others. Then it says that we will be caught three times. Let's see: Harry Ron and Hermione, The teachers and the last will be our parents, of coarse. I know the next part means we will know in some way that we do love each other and the elements are enforcing it." He saw me jump and said " Yes Gin?"
" I think I figured some of it out," I started and then he handed me the prophecy. So I took it up and said, "Well this part about how we defeat evil in both worlds. That must be You-know-who. The it says if we were ever separated that the world would die. Unless it we were pulled away by our families, that means we could make a compromise so that we could be together forever. Then it says it will be attempted once and that everything will be fine except that fire shall die to a group that ice is in. Then the second time it will work, and we will be happy. And that people will try to stop us but that is all I get. Is that the same for you too Draco?" He nodded.
"Well I am impressed you got through more than half," started Dumbledore, "Now I will finish the prediction. Starting on line thirty. It means that you, Ginny, shall be tempted by Harry one more time, but in a test given by Draco, you will have to choose between them. You shall choose Draco. After that Draco will be tested by a test made by Ginny. In front of the whole school you two shall prove that you are right for each other.
" Then sometime later Voldermort, shall attack and you two and your friends shall defeat him once and for all. Then the world will be at peace. That is the whole prophecy. Now I would like it if you two would keep this a secret from the rest of the school." They nodded and then left the room.
I looked over at my love, he was tense. He looked back at me and said, " Ginny whatever happens I will always be there for you. Did you see Dumbledore when he was talking about his daughter? Well that will never happen, because I love you too much for it to. I want to be with you always and if it means that we must take these tests and defeat the dark lord. Well then I will do that for you. If you will have me, take this test and make the other test for you? Please Gin answer me."
I looked at him tears were flooding down my cheeks and to signify my consent I kissed him. He smiled and took out a handkerchief and handed it to me. I wiped my eyes and smiled back at him.
We turned around to se the last three people we wanted to see at the moment. It was Harry Ron and Hermione, I looked at Hermione and said, " I believe you know my boyfriend, Hermione." She nodded and Ron said, " I can't believe you Gin, you and this creep. Anyone's better than him. Come on you can go out with Harry; we know you still like him. I know you d…"
Draco looked enraged and said, " How do you know whom she loves? Let her decide for herself." I said, "Come on Draco, darling we need to talk to Professor Snape. About you know what. Come on you are not going to fight about this you heard what Dumbledore said." He nodded, and I looked over at Harry who nodded to me and Draco. Then we walked away.
Draco said to me, " Dove, why did you stop me? I love you so much I don't want any thing to hurt you at all." "Well," I started, " I didn't want them to hurt you my love. If they hurt you I would be hurt too. Besides we are going to have to see Snape sooner or later. So better now then later."
He nodded and took my arm and in his and we walked to the dungeons to meet Snape.
