A/N: Just so you all know I WILL NOT be posting every Friday. At least probably not until I start school again.(I'm going to be a freshman. I'm so excited.) Well anyways enough of my blabbering on with the show.

Chapter 4: The Telling of the Tale

"...Well you know the beginning. McGonagoll called me over when we were going into the Great Hall and told me to go up to her office. So I sat there and I waited and waited and waited. Finally Dumbedore came in. He told me that the feast was over and I got all pissed because I was hungry and I wanted to see Chelsea sorted. You know how I am when I am deprived of food. Well before he told me about the reason I was there I ate food that the house elves brought up. Well after the crunching and munching he began to tell me the point of my being there.

'Well you see Mr. Weasley, not long after the end of term last year there was a prophecy made. About the war concerning the Wizarding World. Amazingly though it did not have anything to do with Mr. Potter if that is what you are thinking. It actually has to do with you. Let me recite to you the prophecy in question:

The War of Wizards will soon cease to take lives,

His friend's is where The-Boy-Who-Lived's power derives.

Nameless are they to everyone but him,

Yet without them the magical world would be grim.

The two who have not fought,

will have to protect the one who six times was not caught.

The smartest of the Hogwart's three,

will help them arrive mentally.

His second, loyally follows wherever he goes,

no matter what danger, they stick together like bros.

Friendship is forever,

never will it die.

True friends stick together,

and never say goodbye.

At last the end is near,

only if the trio works together will both worlds cheer.

Without them however, the fate of light is unclear,

and death's ugly head will rear.

So Mr. Weasley if you have any questions you can come up to my office to discuss this. I'm sure you want to go tell Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger of all that you've found out tonight."

After Ron finished, there was an uncomfortable silence in which Harry was sitting there half-asleep and Hermione was finishing up writing something. When Hermione looked up, she broke the silence, "Not to toot my own horn but it said something about the smartest of the Hogwart's three. Why didn't McGonagoll tell me to go to this little rendezvous? I'm sure it must involve me. Didn't McGonagoll or Dumbledore say anything about me?"

"I guess it does because he put a particular emphasis on your name for me to tell you, Hermione. Well, you're the brain here Hermione tell us what it all means." Ron answered.

Hermione smiled at Ron because he knew her habits and knew she was writing down the prophecy as he said it and she had figured it out along the way.

So she began her explanation and her thoughts, "The first part is fairly simple. The war will end soon, Harry's power comes from his friends, nobody knows who they are except Harry, if they weren't around though the magical world would basically suck. I'm assuming that means you and me. 'The two who have not fought' probably means you and me again because we, unlike Harry, have never faced Lord Voldemort. If my calculations are right, Harry escaped Voldemort six times. When he was a baby, first year, second year, fourth year, fifth year, and last year. So us not ever facing Voldemort have to protect the one who was not caught six times, Harry in other words. This is where I am sure the prophecy means me, you, and Harry. I, being the smartest of the three of us, have to help Harry and with his knowledge of spells, curses, hexes, and other things as well, I suppose. It doesn't say much about what you do. Just that you will always be there for Harry no matter what. Since you will always be there to back him up I suppose I will have to help you help him explaining why it says 'them' on the 8th line. The next part is just to stress the importance of friendship. The end of the war is near and apparently if all three of us work together, good will win out over evil. If we don't, however, the most probable outcome is Lord Voldemort will succeed in his plans for the purification of Wizard kind. If that happens, the wizarding world really will suck."

The only thing that could be heard in the shocked semi-silence of the Gryffindor common room was the obnoxiously loud snores emitting from one Harry James Potter.

"I think we should go to bed," Hermione said being disrupted from her thoughts by Harry's increasingly louder snores, "It really is getting late and tomorrow is the first day of lessons. Wake Harry up and we can all go up to bed. We'll see what Harry has to say about this tomorrow since he didn't bother to listen to what I had to say."

"I don't think we should tell him. You know how he gets, all proud and thinks he is alone in the world and nobody understands him. We can help him subtlety. He never need know. He also might start to think if something happens to us it will be his fault. He doesn't need anymore of those rubbish thoughts. He doesn't even know there is a prophecy he fell asleep before I got to that part. What do you think? Did you notice ever since we joined the magical world in first year things have certainly gotten worse? Harry doesn't need it to be even worse." Ron told her.

"You're right. We won't tell him. Can we go to bed now? I really am exhausted." Hermione said.

"Wait, wait, wait! You just said I, Ron Weasley, was right. Ha! You said I was right! You said I was right! You said I was right!" Ron yelled triumphantly. Hermione merely rolled her eyes and headed up to the girl's dormitories.

Ron, unluckily, was forced upon the job of waking Harry which could be very dangerous. After many failed attempts, Ron managed to wake Harry but not before Harry punched Ron in the nose involuntarily. Eventually, both made it to bed and both slowly drifted into a calm and peaceful sleep.

A/N: I think it is a little bit longer than usual. they will start to get longer probably because I add a lot of details after a while. I AM THE DETAIL DAMSEL! MWUAHAHAHAHA! runs away laughing like a maniac while cape with Detail Damsel written on it billows behind her
