"Well, you three sure took long enough, five minutes later and we were
going to go search for you." Draco said. "Nah, we just had, umm, some
business to attend to." Vanessa said.
The bought their ice creams and sat on a bench outside. Besides the occasional staring by the passerbys, the mid-day snack was nice. "So, when are we going back to the Burrow?" Harry asked Ron. "Well, I dunno. I guess we can leave whenever we want. I think Ginny, Stacey, and Casey are already home; Ginny wanted them to meet her friend." Ron paused to take a bit of his rocky road ice cream.
"But Fred said that we can use their Floo Powder system whenever we wanted to go back home. I just thought, well, since it was a nice day and all..." "Yeah we know, you just don't want to hang out with Hermione."
"Well, you can't blame me! All of you are thinking the same thing!" Ron said. Everyone else was silent. It was true; Hermione was one of the people who they really didn't want to talk to at the moment.
"But we shouldn't be rude you know." Kelsey said. Everyone reluctantly agreed. They all got up and starting walking for Fred and George's Joke Shop, but Kelsey pulled Harry aside.
"Hey, I know this is really late and all, but, Happy Birthday." She dug through her bags and pulled out a wrapped box. Harry was thrilled that she got him something and opened the present right on the spot (after they kissed of course, lol.).
Harry found the watch and loved it. "I love it!" (see, told you!). "Yeah, I thought you would, we should catch up to the group now, they are probably already at the Burrow."
"Probably." Harry muttered. He seemed distant for that second, but came back quickly by saying, "Yeah, okay, lets go."
Kelsey hated when he was distant with her. He did it periodically, and she wasn't one to guess what people were thinking.
The caught up right as Ron and Vanessa shot up the chimney. Angela and Draco went next, and last were Harry and Kelsey.
~*~
Hermione's mother dropped her off at the Burrow around ten o' clock. "Mum, why do I have to go to the Weasleys? Why couldn't I just stay with you and dad till school starts?" Hermione asked her mother for the millionth time.
"Hermione, first of all, your father and I have a convention we have to go to in the United States, and we were luck enough that Mrs. Weasley made the offer. Now I want you to be on your best behavior and we will talk more later." Her mother said back.
Hermione took her things and knocked on the front door. Mrs. Weasley answered the door. "Hello Hermione!" she said cheerfully.
Hermione plastered a fake smile on and said, "Hello Mrs. Weasley, its lovely to see you again!" "Well, here, let me help you with your things. Unfortunately, all the kids have gone to Diagon Alley, so you will have to wait for them here."
Hermione was overjoyed. She really didn't want to spend any time with any of them. Now for the next two or three hours she could be by herself, maybe she could catch up on her reading...
"Oh, but Ginny's friend Luna Lovegood is here, so you two can talk and get to know each other. 'Joy,' Hermione thought as Mrs. Weasley introduced them.
Hermione found Luna to be, a little, strange. 'I have to spend two to three hours with her? Ugh' Hermione thought as she plastered on her smile and shook her hand.
~*~
"Hey Luna!" Ginny said as she went to hug her friend. Stacey and Casey stood in the back, just watching the two friends at first. "Oh, Luna, this is Stacey Potter and Casey Leigh. Stacey, Casey, this is Luna Lovegood!" Ginny said.
There was definitely a tense moment then. Everyone shook hands with each other, but something wasn't right. Luckily Mrs. Weasley intervened and called out, "Girls? Are you there? I just finished making some cookies, would you like some?"
~*~
The group of six returned home to find Mrs. Weasley already fixing dinner. "Oh Ron, Hermione is with Ginny, Stacey, Casey, and Luna. Do you want me to tell her you all are back?"
"No, its alright mum, we got it." Ron said as they all started to walk upstairs with their things. "Are you sure?" Mrs. Weasley called up but Ron shouted back, "ITS FINE!"
Vanessa volunteered to tell Hermione they were back. She stuck her head in Ginny's room and found that no one was talking to each other. Pretty much, all they were doing was sitting and staring at each other.
"Umm, hey y'all. Were back so, umm, yeah." Vanessa said. Vanessa walked back to Ron's room where they were all at slowly, thinking about what she just saw. The only reasonable explination she could think of was that they were all in a fight, and not talking to each other.
'Yeah, that must be it.' She thought to herself. Upon entering the room Ron asked, "So is she coming?"
Vanessa shrugged. "I dunno. They are all just kind of sitting there, I think they are in a fight, but anyway, she didn't get up or anything, but I dunno."
"Hmm, well, we wouldn't want to disturb them now wouldn't we?" Draco said mischievously. Everyone looked at him with a strange face, and he got the hint and shut up.
'Well, should we tell the guys about the prophecy or just keep it from them till we have it all straightened out?' Angela thought to herself.
"ANGELA!" Vanessa and Kelsey yelled at the same time. Everyone looked at each other very strangely, especially Angela.
"What did I do?" Angela asked. Vanessa and Kelsey looked at each other, and looked back at everyone else. No body had any idea.
"Umm, we have to talk, alone, so please excuse us." Kelsey said as Vanessa and her got up and pulled Angela out of the room.
They ran down to their own room trying to get privacy, but unfortunately Hermione was in their room.
"What are you doing in here?" Angela asked, almost rudely. "Umm, this is where Mrs. Weasley told me I was going to sleep."
Before Angela could say anything else Vanessa interrupted with, "Oh of course, that explains the extra bed. Well no doubt you know your bed; we will be outside if anyone needs anything."
The three girls walked outside and made sure that they were by themselves.
"So what's this all about anyway?" Angela asked. "Okay, think of something, a quote, yes, think of a quote, don't say it but just think about it." Kelsey said. She had an idea of what happened, but she had to test her idea.
Angela reluctantly thought of a quote in her head. 'Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.'
Kelsey concentrated too and said, "Harper Lee. Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what!"
"How did you know?" Angela asked. Kelsey didn't answer but concentrated again. She kept thinking, 'We can read minds!' over and over, seeing if it worked the other way around.
"NO WAY!" Vanessa said. She had heard what Kelsey was thinking. Angela of course heard it also. "So is this an expansion?" she asked. "And why do you two get my powers? No fair!"
"It's not like that. I cant read anyone else's thoughts but yours and Vanessa's. I think its just we link together, just us three."
'This is definitely weird.' Vanessa thought, trying to send it to her sisters.
"You're telling me!" Angela said. "Ha, this is soo Cool!" Vanessa said back. "Okay, well, so since we are alone, we need to talk about the prophecy thing anyway." Kelsey said as she pulled the piece of paper that had the prophecy on it out of her pocket.
"The best thing to do is go through it verse by verse. Agreed?" Vanessa and Angela nodded. The three girls sat down on a patch of grass.
"Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs pronounce successors of the next generation, much like us but soo opposite, and deep in association." Kelsey read.
"Well, we know who Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs are. Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter. The four Marauders." Vanessa said.
"And we are the next generation I guess. What was the next part again?" Angela asked. "Much alike us but soo opposite and deep in association." Kelsey read.
"Well, the alike part could be true about us I guess. And opposite, well, we are the opposite sex right? That's about as opposite as you could get." Angela said.
"Yeah, but its not just us three, but okay, keep going. Deep in association..." Vanessa said pondering. "Well, Sirius and Remus are our teachers, and James Potter is Harry's dad. I would say that's a good association to them."
"To fulfill what we have not, at Hogwarts and beyond, conflicts will arise at first, but will be cleared by a sacred bond." Kelsey read the next verse.
"So, its saying that we are going to fulfill what they didn't, but not just at Hogwarts, but after Hogwarts too?" Vanessa asked. "Guess so." Kelsey replied back.
"But it says that conflicts will arise at first, what's that supposed to mean?" Angela asked. "Well, probably that we all wont agree with it at first, but it will all get better later on." Vanessa explained.
"The group shall be larger than we, and will have known each other for a short time, they will be more famous than us, more famous than this rhyme."
"So that means that there will be more than four people in this group. And I guess it applies to us again because we haven't known each other for a long time. For what, two years? That's not long is it?" Angela asked. "Well, I dunno, I don't think they are referring to us there, but oh well. What else does this one say?" Kelsey asked.
"Well, more famous than them. Harry is the most famous wizard next to Voldemort." Vanessa said. "Yeah, but after what happened to us today, I'd say we are ranking high up there as well." Angela said.
"And this rhyme sure isn't famous, only Fred and George knew about it." Kelsey commented. "Two to lead, two for the zest, one to prove a point, and one to be part of the best."
"So there are six of us." Vanessa pointed out. Then it clicked. "Read that part again." Angela said. "Two to lead, two for zest, one to prove a point, and one to be part of the best." Kelsey repeated.
The girls thought on this one for a while, but didn't talk about it openly. Kelsey continued to the next verse. "To half it will come the sixth year, second to the others, there will be sisters, and soon will arise brothers."
"Well that has us written all over it!" Angela said. "Its true. We are going into our sixth year but really it will only be our second at Hogwarts. And we are sisters." Vanessa said. She had more to add, but didn't say it, not yet.
"We leave you now with a hope of what the future holds, to conquer is not the power, to copy is not to lead, this is our final warning, please take heed." Kelsey finished it off.
'Why is it a warning?' Angela wondered to herself. "I don't know." Vanessa and Kelsey said at the same time. "Soo..." Kelsey said. "Do we know for sure its us?" Vanessa asked. "And the guys?" Angela added.
The three sisters all nodded their heads in agreement. They now had to tell the guys about the prophecy.
'Joy!' Vanessa thought to herself sarcastically.
