Harry Potter and the Light of Life

Chapter V: The Gifts of a Seer

From that night on, Leia was a part of their little gang. She didn't change her behaviour or anything, it was just the fact that she knew how Harry felt. Harry knew he could trust her, just like he could with Ron and Hermione.

Harry had told Ron and Hermione what Leia had said that night under dinner a few days later, while Leia had been sitting with Willow at the Hufflepuff table. For Leia was still unknowing about a fair few things that had been going on. They had not told her everything...

The one thing they had very carefully avoided telling her anything about, was the fact that they were on the inside of The Order of Phoenix. Even if the name 'The Order of the Phoenix', was something everyone knew what stood for, no one that wasn't trusted by Dumbledore knew anything else than that Dumbledore was the leader. Harry, Hermione and Ron had learned to trust no one after what had happened the last years, but Harry felt that they should let her in on their secret.

Ron and Hermione had agreed, but Hermione thought they should ask Dumbledore if they could. "Just imagine what the effects can be if he knows she can't be trusted," she whispered before Leia joined came back.

Harry had taken the council, and planned to go to Dumbledore's office the next afternoon. But it turned out he didn't need to.

As he was sitting at breakfast the next day, a piece of parchment fell from of empty air and into his porridge. He unfolded it and read the words.

She can be trusted.

Harry recognized the handwriting at once, it was Dumbledore's. How that man kept track of things, he had no idea, though he was relieve that Leia could be trusted.

They told her in the weekend, again in the library. She was not shocked this time though.

"Well, there was no way Dumbledore would have kept Harry outside his Order, so I figured he had to be in it. Besides, Damien thought you were."

"How in the name of Merlin could he known?" asked Ron, earning him a "Shh!" from Madam Pince.

"He read it in this," said Leia, pulling up a worn, brown, leather-bound book. "This is the book where he writes down my predictions. When I looked through it a few weeks ago, I realised I had made quite a few predictions about what had happened here at Hogwarts. It was easy sorting out the rest."

She opened the book and searched the pages until she seemingly found what she was looking for.

"To prove my point, this is from late may 1995, a few weeks before the third task. 'The price the golden boy will win, but it will only bring him pain. In the shadow of the dead, he who never died shall stand again. In body new, but mind the old, he will try to kill the hope of the world. But if he shall complete his fate, I can not see today.' I didn't know for sure that You-Know-Who had returned till nearly a year later."

"Bloody hell!" said Ron and took the book from her. He looked through the pages, his mouth falling open time after time.

"It says here about Umbridge coming to Hogwarts. Listen, 'Short in statue and in skills,' that has to be her! And here is something about the Order, 'they will hide in rooms of which, darkness has left much amiss. Hidden to the eye it will be, only visible to Bumblebee.'"

"Is that of the Order?" asked Leia. "We never understood that one. But I will show you what made us see Harry and you had to be in the Order."

She took the book back from Ron, and skipped many pages back.

"This was the same summer after the first task, Damien has written I made the prediction August 1st. 'He who lives with his mother's blood, will soon be gone from his home. The scarred soul will travel to the bird's nest, where he will meet friends at last. But in the home of faithful guard, he will not find peace, alas. Though his hope shall be renewed, now that he lives under headmaster's roof.' As you see, it wasn't hard to guess what was happening."

Harry was just blinking at Leia. She could tell the future! It had failed to hit him as hard as it should before now. She could tell the future!

"What is the last prediction you have made?" asked Harry, blood pumping in his ears.

"Let's see. I made that last weekend when I sat up with Damien," Leia said as she folded the pages carefully, "Here it is. It is the other one of those I don't understand. See if you can make anything of it. "He left for what he thought was right, making the turn that changed the redhead's life. But doubt begins to gnaw his heart, for now the truth stares him in the eye. He will return before the new year, completing the family by the Christmas tree."

As Leia read the last words, Ron snatched the book out of her hands and reread and reread the passage. As both Hermione and Harry also had discovered, the prediction had been about Percy, Ron's oldest brother who had sided with the Ministry after Voldemort's return. But even after Fudge had started believing that Voldemort had truly come back, Percy hadn't written as much as a letter, or trying to get in touch with his family in any other way. Mrs. Weasley was still in tears every time someone mentioned him.

Ron had hugged Leia before they had split up and went to bed. Harry hadn't seen Ron so shocked since he had found out that Mr. Weasley had been attacked by Voldemort's snake last Christmas. Ron had sat awake in his bed that night, not even trying to make Harry think he was sleeping. Harry felt very happy for him, but he was also jealous.

Leia could truly tell the future! Then why did she bother with things like that, when there was a war going on? Why couldn't she have said what would happen to the world, instead of the Weasley's? Why couldn't she say what would happen to him?

A/N: Two reviews! It's amazing! Though I have to disappoint you, she is not Harry's sister. Sorry. It is trickier than that. Just you wait...Sorry again for the spelling, and the short chapter!
