Chapter 10: Answers and More Questions
"Recently, a new prophecy was made, stating the two who were to balance, would become all-powerful. You have gone through the Transformation of the Phoenix, enabling you to possess all of the Light Powers, and Voldemort has gone through the Serpent Transformation, giving him all of the Dark Powers. This means, more now than it ever has, that you are the only person who can defeat him, which is why I am training you personally during your own classes."
"So, now Voldemort and I are 'all-powerful', as you put it. What are the Light and the Dark Powers?"
Dumbledore looked back at him. Harry looked as if he wasn't scared at all. If it were Dumbledore himself, he would've been scared. But Harry, he was just listening and accepting the truth for what is was. He was not trying to change it for his own good. He knew his duty, and he would face it, even if it cost him his life. And for this, Dumbledore praised him.
"The Light Powers are all of the most powerful spells in all of the world that are not classified as the dark arts." Dumbledore continued. "The Dark Powers are all of the most powerful dark spells, those known and unknown. The only people who possess all of each power are the Balance of Power or the Destructor, as it could be put."
"Are the Light or the Dark Powers more powerful?"
"Harry, I cannot answer that for you. You must figure it out by yourself." Turning to leave, Harry could almost hear the professor's heavy breathing. "Oh, Harry, just don't let evil take over your emotions. It could lead to things much worst than death."
As Harry flopped down on his bead he though, what is worst than death? As he fell asleep that night, the only words going through is head were, what is worst than death.
That night, Harry had a puzzling dream.
"You will never succeed in what you want to. Evil is not as powerful as love. Love can overcome all obstacles. Nothing is more important than love. It can keep you alive, even if the fate awaiting does not permit. Love is all-powerful. You are not love. I am love. I represent all love. You cannot overpower me. Love is too great."
"Fool! Love is why everyone you know is dead. Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Dumbledore, Tonks, Ginny. They are all dead because of your foolishness. Even your parents died because of you. If there was not love, then they would all still be alive."
"Love is what makes the world go 'round."
"But, Harry, without hate, there is not love."
Harry awoke suddenly, noticing his sheets were drenched in perspiration. Looking at his clock, he noticed that is was five in the morning. Getting up, Harry decided to go shower, then plan his lesson plans for the rest of the day with the Hufflepuff students. He made his way down, hoping for a good day.
