When dinner ended, the four of them walked back upstairs into Harry and Ron's room. They closed the door behind them so that no one could hear.
"So what was that about, Harry?" asked Ginny.
"Wait a second, Ginny what are you doing in here?" asked Ron, slightly annoyed that his sister thought she was apart of the conversation.
"The same as you and Hermione, trying to find out what Harry was talking to Dumbledore about," explained Ginny.
"Get out Ginny! This doesn't concern you!" yelled Ron.
"I can listen if I want to!" replied Ginny.
"No you can't, not if Harry doesn't want you here!"
"Actually, I don't really care if she is here or not," said Harry, slightly under his breath.
"What? Oh, well who cares? Ginny get out or else I will tell mum and she will make you do dishes!" said Ron.
"Fine! I don't see what the big deal is anyways!" said Ginny as she stormed out of the room slamming the door behind her. The hall outside was filled with Sirius' mother's screams. And then, quickly followed by Mrs. Weasley's.
"Finally!" said Ron, relieved that Ginny had left. "Okay, now what were you going to tell us Harry?"
"Well, actually there is a lot to tell you. First you have to promise me that you won't get mad for waiting so long to tell you this first part," Harry asked.
"Okay, we promise," both Ron and Hermione said, a little suspicious.
"The first part is about the Prophecy in the Department of Mysteries. All of those spheres were prophecies made to different people. The one that Voldemort was after was a prophecy that was about us," Harry tried to explain.
"Wait, what do you mean? That prophecy was about you?" asked Hermione.
"Yes," answered Harry.
"Cool," said Ron before being elbowed by Hermione. Ron glared at her.
"Anyway, the prophecy was about me and Voldemort and..." Harry began to say but was again interrupted with more questions from Hermione.
"Wait a second. The prophecy was destroyed. How do you know all of this stuff?" asked Hermione.
"I was getting to that. The prophecy was made to someone and I'll give you one guess who it was," said Harry.
"Dumbledore," whispered Ron, followed by a quick gasp from Hermione.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Nothing, it's just, you figured that out before I did!" said Hermione, surprised.
"Anyway, back to the story. Professor Trelawny was the one who made the prophecy to Dumbledore," said Harry, but he was again interrupted, this time by Ron.
"Trelawny?" Ron said, startled.
"Yes, Trelawny. Anyway, the prophecy she made to Dumbledore was about the person who could defeat Voldemort. He was born to parents who had survived Voldemort's attacks three times, born at the end of July, and was marked by Voldemort as his equal," explained Harry, pausing to wait for Ron and Hermione's questions. When none came, he continued. "That person, is one of two people. He can either be me, or Neville."
"Neville?" said Ron. "He is the one who can defeat Voldemort? That's gonna work out real well."
"No, it's not Neville, but it could have been. You see, both our parents had defied Voldemort three times, and were both born at the end of July, but there is something I have that he doesn't," Harry tried to explain.
"Your scar," whispered Hermione.
"Exactly. Voldemort marked me as his equal, not Neville. When he did that, some of his powers transferred over to me, which he did not expect. The spy who told Voldemort about the prophecy, did not hear it completely, so Voldemort did not know what would happen when he tried to kill me."
"But why did he choose you, and not Neville?" asked Ron, becoming very confused.
"I don't really know," Harry admitted. "Dumbledore thinks that it is because Voldemort saw more of himself in me."
"Why didn't he wait until you and Neville were older, to see who would be stronger and more of a threat?" asked Hermione.
"I wondered that too. But Dumbledore said that his spy did not hear all of the prophecy, so he thought that he was fulfilling it by killing me immediately, or something like that," said Harry.
"Okay, I'm lost. Maybe we should get to the second little surprise," Ron said, trying to brighten up the situation.
"Yeah, okay," Harry said before continuing. "Because I am the one who has to kill Voldemort in the end, I have to learn a lot more magic. Dumbledore is going to be giving me lessons on Wednesdays and weekends, so I have a better chance beating Voldemort."
"Well, that's good," said Ron.
"So that's all that you wanted to tell us, right?" asked Hermione.
"Yep," answered Harry.
"Oh good, that's enough for one night," she replied, relieved.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed in the room and talked for the rest of the night about going back to Hogwarts and the upcoming events. They tried to avoid the topic of Voldemort and the prophecy.
