Chapter 3~The Truth
Dumbledore and the professors were still in the Great Hall talking. Then Dumbledore stood, faced the other professors and said, "Well, my friends, let us prepare ourselves for the worst and the best, for Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Granger are finally taking notice to one another. And tonight is going to be the start of it all. So much pain will be brought to many students next year, but I know that our students won't fail us."
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore and said, "Are you sure that it is those two are strong enough to do it? What if the prophecy was all wrong? What if they end up getting hurt in the end?"

"Yes, I hope! BUT, what are we going to do if anything does happen to them, what if..."
She was cut off by Dumbledore speaking again, "Don't worry Minerva, Miss Granger and young Malfoy will survive. They have much to face, but in the end it will all end up as if nothing ever happened and as if evil was never there." He gave McGonagall a reassuring smile. He spoke again with and this time directed what he was saying to all the professors, "I know all of us will be here to protect our students. Whatever is to come, we will be prepared."
"You said yourslef that pain will come to many students, Albus!"
"Many will be in pain, but none will die."
