Chapter 5 – Prophesies
Olivia entered her dorm through a hidden entrance by a bookcase. She found that her room was pretty spacious for only being occupied by one person but she really didn't mind. There was a fireplace with a huge roaring fire in it to her left; in front of the fire was tow very comfy looking red velvet chairs. To her right she found a four-poster bed with deep blue sheets and curtains. After gazing around the room for a bit Olivia's eyes fell on her trunk and she rushed over to it taking out the books she had bought in Diagon Alley. Settling herself in one of the chairs Olivia set to work on making her muggle things work at Hogwarts.

"Albus you're letting a muggle stay at Hogwarts and learn! Have you gone absolutely off your rocker, think of what the parents will say…What the students will say…"
"Minerva I'll ask to please calm down…I have my own reasons for keeping Ms. Stanton here at the school…"
"How are we to teach her anything if she has no magical power!" Professor McGonagall practically screamed back at Dumbledore.
"You misunderstand me Minerva, I'm not just deciding to keep the child I have reason to believe that she will prove to be very useful to us and Mr. Potter. As for magic I believe that there is a lot more to this 'muggle' then any of us know, I for one believe that she is one of the twins."
"Albus!…you…you can't be serious…"
"Minerva she opened Diagon Alley with her finger, and summoned these four books without a wand. She also told me that she could sometimes read her best friends mind. If it is all so we need to find the other before Voldemort does."
Professor McGonagall was at a loose for words to do more then nod in return to Dumbledore's statement.

Olivia woke and looked around in confusion until she remembered that she was at Hogwarts and this was her room for the day. She got herself dressed and sat back down in the chair she sat in the night before to continue to read about enchanting her muggle things. Olivia wasn't really sure where she could and couldn't go because neither Professor McGonagall nor Professor Dumbledore told her that she could or couldn't leave. Just as Olivia was casting a spell over her Stereo System McGonagall walked into the room carrying a tray with all kinds of breakfast foods on it.
"Ms. Stanton what are you doing?"
"I'm bewitching my stereo system so that it can work."
"Ms. Stanton that's a very advanced spell most seventh years can't get it I doubt that you can."
"Oh I already did it to my portable CD player I'm just making sure that it's the same spell for something bigger."
McGonagall just stared at Olivia for a few seconds in shock of what she had just heard, but she quickly regained her composure.
"I've brought you some beakfast since the Headmaster wishes you to stay away from the crowds until you can be sorted tonight. I've also been told to tell you that you may venture to the library, and out onto the grounds if you wish but nowhere else. Also Professor Dumbledore will stop by later when your school books arrive."
With that McGonagall left the room but not before Olivia could hear 'Only one of the twins would be able to pull that spell off with no struggle. Maybe Dumbledore is right…maybe she is a twin.' Olivia knew right away that Professor McGonagall didn't say that out loud so it meant that Olivia had read her mind.
Olivia sat thinking for a while about what had happened since she arrived at Hogwarts and what she had heard. After awhile she decided to go to the Library and do some reading and maybe she could practice reading minds while she was there.

Surprisingly enough Olivia found her way to the Library with no trouble. Once she was in there she walked down the rows and picked up random books that looked interesting to her. The one that really caught her attention was an old earth brown ancient looking book entitled The Greatest Prophecies of all time by Futur Predix. Olivia couldn't explain it but she was drawn to the book and began to flip through it's pages until she came to a chapter entitled 'The greatest Prophecy – The Order of Phoenix'. Olivia was about to read the passage but got the feeling that she should be alone to read it so she took it back to her room and took out a pen and paper as well. Then she settled herself down in one of the chairs and read.
Back when the four founders of Hogwarts were still alive a true seer sought out to find them and tell them of the future they had seen. It was told that the last remaining heir of Slytherin would gain much power and terrorize the world until the last remaining heir of Gryffindor temporarily ends his rule. Fourteen years later the Slytherin heir will rise again this time using the heir of Gryffindor to help restore him. There would be an on going battle between the two heirs until Gryffindor finally kills the heir of Slytherin. The Four founders seemed shocked since at this time all four still got along, but the prophecy did not stop there. Right before the heir of Gryffindor is born there will be two twins that will be the most powerful witches ever. These twins will be split and sent to America with separate families that live far apart from each other. One twin will be bewitched to look like the family they join so that if the twins ever met they would never know. The twins are separated because if kept together and having the knowledge of their power all their lives they will use the power for evil and control the world with no one able to stop them. Kept apart they will know nothing of their true identity until they come together to help the heir of Gryffindor defeat the heir of Slytherin, unless the heir of Slytherin finds them first then the heir of Gryffindor will be defeated and the twins will end up overthrowing the heir of Slytherin. The Twins powers when they are together are unmatched although that is also their weakest point. When the twins are separate they cannot be killed but if together they can be brought down if the witch or wizard is powerful. The seer explained that the twins will have many powers but that it was to foggy to tell what exactly except for the fact that they would be able to read minds and do wand less magic an almost impossible skill even for the greatest witches and wizards of the world.
Olivia re-read the passage and found that she needed to keep this prophecy with her so she copied it onto a piece of paper before taking the book back to the library. So these had to be the twins McGonagall was talking about. After returning the book Olivia wandered out onto the grounds letting her thoughts think over the prophecy and everything she knew.
Olivia was so deep in thought that she didn't see Harry, Hermione, and Ron approaching her. She heard them and thought she was reading their minds but realized she wasn't when she looked up and saw that they were two feet away from her.
"Hello Olivia" Hermione greeted sounding a bit cold.
"Oh hello guys." Olivia greeted in return deciding to try working on her mind reading skills with Hermione to try and find out why Hermione didn't like her.
'Guys! I am not a guy! How dare she call me that why does no one see me as a girl. Not even Ron! I'll forever just be Hermione the friend to him.' Olivia decided to stop listening there because Harry was giving her an odd look.
"Alright Olivia?" Harry asked concerned.
"I'm fine Harry just zoned out a bit there. Sorry………So what are you three doing out here?"
"We have break right now and we decided to go visit Hagrid." Ron replied
"Oh"
"Would you like to come with us?" Harry asked
"I'd better not Dumbledore wants me to stay away from everyone until dinner tonight for some reason. Plus I'm really only supposed to be in my room or the library. McGonagall did give me permission to come out here but she looked as if that was something she'd rather I not do."
"I wonder why Dumbledore wants to keep you away from everyone?" Ron thought aloud.
"I dunno but I gotta go check something out anyway so I'll see you guys tonight." Olivia hurriedly excused as she headed off to the Library to research something she had just thought of.
