Chapter 4 - Prophecy Revealed
Hogwarts Castle - May 15
Unlike most of the professors add Hogwarts, Sibyll Trelawney did not leave the old castle in favor of some of the more 'exotic' locations in the world. Oh no she didn't. It would disrupt the vibes in her classroom way in the tip top of the North Tower. She was very rarely disturbed there and left in peace unless she had a mandatory teachers meeting to attend.
She was sitting cross-legged, in front of her favorite rickety old table covered in velvet gazing silently into her crystal ball. The cards had told her tonight she was needed to see into the foggy mists that were the future.
She was mostly thinking while she gazed, hoping to catch a glimpse of the veiled essence that was the future.
Most people thought her a miserable, old bad. She knew it. Even her colleague Minerva thought she was a right old fraud. But there were exceptions. Dumbledore was one of the few who believed she held the gift of sight.
A tear leaked out of her eye as she thought of her grandmother. The great seer, Cassandra Trelawney (that was her name right? I can't remember exactly). Her grandmother was the one who taught her the trade of being a seer ever since she was old enough to talk.
She sighed in frustration having seen nothing in the ball after watching it for hours. She stood up slowly listening to her bones creak from hours of sitting. She slowly walked over too the window and stared outside and as she looked out she noticed Hagrid and Dumbledore walking down the path towards Hogsmeade.
Suddenly she had a thought and was running, racing away from her tower and after dumbledore. For the cards had told her to watch the bearded one and gentle giant as they would soon be in great peril. She hadn't noticed until now.
And as she was running away she failed to notice something rising out of the smoke on the crystal ball still sitting on her rickety old table. A grim, a giant black grim had risen from the smoke and howled once before disappearing once again within the murky depths of the ball.
Trelawney was nearly to the entrance hall when she saw something appearing out of the woods before her. The centaurs were slowly exiting the forest and heading towards Hogwarts. Most of them held bows and staves. Raised.
She looked down to see professor Dumbledore and Hagrid running towards the doors as the centaurs started to pick up speed. When the pair reached the hall Dumbledore slammed the doors shut and locked them with a few flicks of his wand.
"Dumbledore!" she gasped out. "You're in danger here! The cards have showed the truth! What is happening Dumbledore?!"
"I'm afraid..." said Dumbledore softly, "That Hogwarts is under seige."
There was no twinkle in his eye as he said this, and his voice was raspy and quiet.
" 'S'..." Hagrid said, "Hogwa'ts is under 'tack?" he asked.
(A/N: Sorry! I know I suck with his accent but I've seen few capable of it O.o)
"I'm afraid so Hagrid," Dumbledore replied, "And we three are the only ones here to defend it, it seems."
Hagrid gasped and Dumbledore nodded slowly. All of a sudden professor Trelawney went rigid and her eyes rolled into the back of her head before speaking a monotone voice:
The school of four has been sieged before,
But never in these times of great peril.
The light and dark will clash once again,
Before Hogwarts can be free of attack.
The prophecy three will be brought into be.
But the marked one shall not be alone,
For another shall hear his plight,
And stand with him until all her might is gone.
For the light shall prevail,
Given the sacrifice of two, and the life of two.
For the light and dark will clash once again.
To end the war and bring peace to the school of four.
A/N: So... Evil enough? I plan to update soon, hopefully before my break is over. Happy holidays and be safe for the new year!! Until next time, R/R!!
