Chapter 3 - Prophecy Revealed
The teen slowly raised his emerald green eyes to the blood red ones of the Dark Lord and Severus new who the prisoner was.Harry Potter.
***
"Ron what are we going to do?"
"I don't know Hermione. I wish I knew." Ron was at a lost. He had just witnessed one of his best friends get kidnapped. It had all happened so fast; it was almost a blur to his still numb brain.
"Ron maybe your parents can help? It's worth a try." Hermione, the ever- logical one of the group said.
"Yeah, let's go find my mum." Replied Ron, still in a daze.
Ron and Hermione moved in and out of the dazed crowd as they made their way to the Leaky Cauldron. Thunder and lightning continued to fill the sky as the clouds finally released their heavy burden, as if sensing the dampened mood of the crowds down below. The once trio, now duo finally reached the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, but not before being caught in the down pore.
"Ron, Hermione where have you been?" Cried a hysterical Molly Weasley as she smothered the two teens.
"After what happened in the street, mum went nuts with worry!" Exclaimed Fred and George together. Ginny had just come over from one of the tables after the twins exclamation. She looked over the group assembled and realised that one person was missing.
"Ron, Hermione?"
"Yes Ginny?" Replied Hermione since Ron was still being crushed in a motherly hug from Mrs. Weasley.
"Where's Harry? I didn't see him come in with you." Came the anxious reply. Silence was her answer as Hermione tried to keep her tears in check. Ron finally broke free of his mother and gave an answer no one wanted or expected to hear.
"H-he was taken, kidnapped!"
"Kidnapped? By who!?" Cried Mrs. Weasley.
"By Death Eaters" Came Hermione's quiet answer as she fought away more unshed tears. It did little good as she broke down and sobbed on Ginny's shoulder.
"Don't worry dears. I'll call Dumbledore and your father, they'll now what to do." With that, Molly Weasley ushered the children through the fire. Back at the Burrow, Molly Weasley threw some powder into the flames and called out "Hogwarts, Headmaster's office!"
***********
Severus Snape had just witnessed Potter defy the Dark Lord and receive pain beyond imagining for his insolence. He couldn't help but shudder as he remembered the scream that came from Potter. It was the kind that tore at one's heart and for the greasy git of a potions teacher; it was not something that happened often. 'Dame you Potter! Can't you go more than few weeks before getting into trouble? For the love of Merlin, the school year hasn't even started yet!' thought Snape as he ran up to Hogwarts from Hogsemead.
After the Death Eater meeting was over, Snape had apparated to Hogsemead and from there, made his way up to Hogwarts. As he entered the school Snape was nearly run down by Sirius in his dog form as he ran away from Remus. Snape only raised his eyebrows as he watched the two 'clowns' as he called them continue to run down the hall.
"Padfoot! It's just a little water, besides you stink! You need a bath or the Death Eaters will smell you coming!" Yelled Remus as he continued to chase after his friend.
"Werewolf! When you get that mutt clean, report to Dumbledore's office!" Yelled Severus as he continued his path to the Headmaster's office; he had no time to waste.
************
"Hello Molly, what can I do for you at this late hour?" asked the Headmaster from behind his desk, a bright twinkle could be seen in his eyes half hidden behind his half moon spectacles.
"Headmaster I'm sorry to disrupt you at this hour but I have urgent news. Harry's been kidnapped by Death Eaters!"
The twinkle immediately went out of his eyes as he mulled over what he had just been told. Just then there was a knock at his door. Without invitation Severus Snape entered the office out of breath.
A yell was heard from the fireplace as Molly Weasley cursed under her breath. "I must go Albus before Fred and George terrorise pore Ginny anymore. Please, you must find Harry!" With that, Molly Weasley's head disappeared from the flames.
"Headmaster! I have just returned from the meeting. You will not be pleased with what I have to tell y-y-you!" Snape toppled to the floor as Sirius came barrelling threw, Remus not far behind him. Immediately Sirius returned to his human form.
Even with the seriousness of the situation, Albus couldn't help a small chuckle from escaping his lips and the twinkle from returning to his eyes for a few moments. Snape got up off the floor, brushed off his robes and turned to the Headmaster.
"As I was saying before I got ploughed over." Snape directed a glare that could make most people faint at the two Marauders. "Potter has managed to get himself in another dangerous situation. How is beyond me. The Dark Lord has him at this very moment."
"What!?!? And you just left him there with that. that. that thing!?" Sirius was going ballistic! It took Remus' werewolf strength to keep him from attacking Severus.
"Listen you mangy mutt! There was nothing I could do. If I would of acted to save the boy, then I would be as good as dead right now!" Severus was loosing patience fast with the dog animagus. He himself was mere moments away from strangling that flea-infested pain in his butt.
"If you both are threw, I would like to discus the matter at hand." Dumbledore's voice held a tone of impatience in it.
"Albus, we have to get Harry back!"
"Sirius calm down! Raising your voice will not help the situation any more than it already is. Now, will you refrain from attacking Severus if I let you go? " Asked Remus. "Because you really do stink." As he said this he released Sirius and held his nose. Sirius just glared at him before turning his attention to the Headmaster.
"At the moment there is little we can do." Albus held up a hand to stop Sirius from speaking. "I know that was not what you wanted to hear Sirius. We will discuss this at a Godlier hour. Please try to get some sleep."
"Please Headmaster! We have to get Harry back. I-I don't know what I would do if I lost him. I made a promise to Lily and James and I haven't always been there to keep it, but from now on I intend to do my best to keep Harry from harm." Sirius couldn't imagine a life without Harry and he meant every word he said.
It was with these words that a defeated Sirius in dog form walked out of the Headmaster's office. Remus, with Severus following far behind, accompanied Sirius out of the Headmaster's room. The Headmaster sat at his desk and intertwined his fingers contemplating his next moves. Things were becoming complicated and he was unsure of what his next moves should be. The Headmaster rose from his chair and walked over to his bookcase. He quietly summoned an ancient looking book from the shelves and opened it to an already marked page. With the book in hand, Dumbledore walked over to Fawks, his phoenix. He looked down at the words written and pondered over them.
With turmoil and pain,
The Darkness will reign
The Child of Power
Will be born of Stag and Flower
He will be the light
In the never-ending night
When the time is right
He will be the one to fight
He must prevail
Or all else will fail
With the mark of Heaven
He is The Phoenix of Legend
Prophecy of Merlin, 1000 AD
After reading the prophecy once more, Dumbledore looked up to meet the piercing gaze of the Phoenix. He could see worry in the eyes of his life long companion. To ease his concerned friend, Dumbledore pat the bird on the head. He then looked to the heavens to see if they would give up their secrets and aid him in his time of need. As he watched the stars in the night sky, he pondered Harry's safety.
"I pray you are all right Harry. Without you, the light will be lost to the darkness." Dumbledore then saw a shooting star fly across the sky as he continued to pet Fawks. "I fear that an innocent soul could be lost to us forever. We will find you Harry, please hang in there. I have faith in you."
Author's note: Hope it was OK. How will they get Harry out of Voldie's clutches? Will Sirius continue to go ballistic? Does Snape have a heart? Next chapter will be a lot longer, plus you will see Harry torture and the reason that it's rated PG-13. Voldemort is not happy with Harry's decision and you will see what he does to try and "change" Harry's mind. Not pretty!
I'm still just as EVIL aren't I? Read and Review!
