Chapter 5 Destiny's a Bitch
~*~ Normal POV ~*~
Ron and Harry looked at Audrey and Hermione surprised.
"I should know you would've heard about it." Dumbledore said to Hermione and Audrey with a twinkle in his eye.
"What is this Prophecy?" Harry asked.
Hermione answered. "Audrey and I found a reference to the 'Elemental Mages Prophecy' when doing research for DA" she smiled at Dumbledore. Audrey continued "The prophecy talked about 4 young humans, 2 boys and 2 girls, who were destined to receive the greatest powers of all, full control over the elements and even the ability to stop time."
"You are both correct Miss Brendall and Miss Granger. Did you find the correct wording of the prophecy?" Dumbledore asked.
"No sir, and at the time we weren't really interested, we had enough to do as it was." Hermione replied.
"It's remarkable that you know anything about it at all. Well.I do know the words of the prophecy and they are like this:
(A/N: Bear me if my prophecy ain't smashing)`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the darkest of times
Four lights are born
One born from darkness
One who chases the darkness into hiding
One born of pure magical blood
One born in the world without magic
Friends they shall all become
And many hardships will they face
But they shall conquer them all with friendship
as strong as the evil they will drown in demise
But those are nothing compared
To what they shall be up against
When darkness returns
And they will see the evil in face
And when they do
Their powers will awaken
The four grand powers of the Elements given of
Fire, the Soul
Air, the Breath
Earth, the Body
Water, the Blood
Combined together, these powers will be a force
That even time will stand still for
And together they must stand strong
If they are to defeat darkness once and for all
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"... these are the words of the prophecy." Dumbledore said.
"It sounds like us." Harry said.
"Yes indeed, but this is not the complete prophecy." Dumbledore said.
"Then what's does the rest say?" Ron asked.
"That's the problem. The last part of the prophecy is unreadable on the parchment we have, but on the original we suspect it's still decipherable, but we have no knowledge about its location. But this is of later concern. We know for sure that the prophecy is about the four of you. Harry was the downfall of Voldemort. Audrey, as Voldemort daughter, was born from darkness. Ron was born into a pure wizarding bloodline and Hermione is a muggleborn and therefore from the world with no magic." Dumbledore explained.
"But what are we going to do with that knowledge?" he continued.
Harry, Audrey, Ron and Hermione shrugged.
"Nothing.I told you this because you are old and responsible enough to know the truth. I don't want to throw the four of you into this war yet. Your training will only begin in your seventh year. I want you to live this last year as normal as you can make it. Go to your classes, learn. That is much easier with your new abilities, but don't train. You're too young to be training to fight against Voldemort. Though, you have fought him in a way before, now he is much stronger." Dumbledore said.
He continues to explain them more about why he's doing this.
~ He's kind of late with his warning ~ Harry thought to the others.
~ When he began I had hoped he would train us. It would have saved us that trouble of stealing books and breaking just about every school rule there was ~ Hermione thought.
~ Well it seems those plans are back on the list. ~ Audrey sighed.
~ One point's that's good about this is that we can play more pranks on the Slythies! ~ Ron thought.
They could practically SEE the gleeful smile behind.
~ Good point. Hey Dumbledore's finishing his speech. Let's go back into listening mode ~ Harry replied.
"Do you understand why I'm doing this?"
Dumbledore asked. Harry and the others nodded.
"Yes sir!" they said in unison.
"Good. Now go to your class. You've already missed part of your Herbology class." Dumbledore said, dismissing them with a faint smile.
~~~~~
Once outside Dumbledore's office Ron spoke up.
"So. When are we going to steal uhm.lend the books?" he asked.
"Tomorrow night." Hermione replied.
"Why not tonight?" Harry asked.
"Because it's the first day of classes, there's no way we could leave Gryffindor tower unnoticed, not even after midnight." Audrey explained.
"Didn't think of that..." Harry said. Ron nodded, the four of them continuing on the walk to Herbology.
~~~~~
The rest of their day was pretty uneventful, until Double Potions, that is.
"I can't believe they put us with the Slytherins AGAIN!!!" Harry raged while they where walking to the dungeons.
"Yeah, haven't they realized that Gryffindors and Slytherins don't get along?" Ron added.
"I guess they do it because we are the only house who can handle them during Potions." Hermione replied reasonably.
"Well I think we should give the Slythies a token of our appreciation for being paired with them again" Audrey said, smiling evilly.
"Great idea Nova, what do you propose?" Harry asked.
"Mist and I thought up a really nice prank last night." Audrey replied.
"And you didn't include us?" Ron cried out.
"We tried but the two of you were off to lala-land." Hermione replied.
"Oh.well continue then." Ron said, encouraging Hermione to speak.
"There is this spell 'Invisubilium' that turn's things invisible, and if it's combined with the spell 'Tocum Midas Pedra' it turn everything someone touches into stone. In the end you get this really nice spell that would make everything someone touch petrified and become invisible." Audrey explained fast.
"But what if the Slythies try to touch our stuff or even one of us?" Harry asked.
"There's a protection in the spell that do so that you can't use it to hurt someone and you can't fool it since it's linked to your personal thoughts." Hermione explained. "When we have to pair up Ron will go with Hermione and Harry you'll be with me. I think it's best if Hermione and I do 'Tocum Midas Pedra' and you two do 'Invisubilium. Harry you can do the countdown." Audrey explained in her fast fashion.
"I think that's a good plan." Ron said, looking dreamily towards the dungeons.
They stopped talking once they had reached their destination called Potions. They walked inside, in anticipation of the usual torture.
~~~~~~
Snape was already there.
"Sit Down!!!" he yelled with his usual scowl on his oh SO lovely face.
Everybody sat down immediately.
"This year of Potions will make your earlier years look like nothing. I am surprised to see some of you here (Looking at Harry and Ron) and rest assure that you will be removed from these classes if your grades are below Average. I do not tolerate failure..." he began his NEWT's speech like the other teachers.
~ If I didn't know better I'd believe Snape's trying to intimidate us. ~ Harry thought, sarcasm dripping (like the grime on Snapes head).
~ My dear Snitchy! What ever gave you THAT idea? ~ Ron said equally sarcastic.
~ Oh shut up you two! (a/n there's a lot of Shut ups in this story ne?) ~ Audrey exclaimed.
~ We'll wait till Snape gives us our assignment and then we'll put the spells on the Slythies. ~ Hermione said soothing the discussion.
They "listened" to the rest of Snape's speech and finally it was time. He explained what to do while giving comments here and there, (usually referring to a particular quartet), and they set off to work.
~ Okay guys. On three ~ Harry thought, ~ One...Two...Three!!! ~
They said the necessary spells and then quickly said another small spell in case Snape thought of using the 'Priori Incantatem' spell. At first the Slytherins didn't notice anything at all until Goyle touched his cauldron and it vanished. Then pandemonium broke loose! Things started to vanish everywhere on the Slytherin side of the dungeon, even a couple of Slytherins. The Gryffindors were laughing their heads off.
"Stop this foolishness this instant!!!" Snape yelled without any affect on the proceedings.
Malfoy, thinking that he's smart, grabbed Lavender, but she didn't vanish.
Snape pointed his wand at the class and yelled 'Finite Incantatem!'" The missing equipment and students immediately reappeared.
"When I find out which ones who's responsible for this, the persons (looking in the quartet's direction) in question will find them under so much detention that they'll wish they never would have returned to Hogwarts." he pressed out between hard pressed lips, face red with anger.
The class continued without further complications.
~~~~~~
"Hey, I just realized... Snape didn't take any points from Gryffindor!" Harry said.
"Well he didn't have proof that we actually did it." Hermione said.
"Like that's ever stopped him before!" Audrey said.
The others laughed.
Then Neville joined them (he had ancient Runes), "Hey, had a good first day?" he asked.
"It's was alright." Ron said.
"Mine was good too." Neville said.
The five of them then walked off to have dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tada End of Chap Five.
Like? , Hate? Lemme know.
I'll love you for your reviews and even flames.
Flames can't harm me, I have Harry to protect me and he's a Fire Mage. *grin*
And I've got Audrey for back-up, she'll send the flames back at ya.
I also have Hermy and Ron. But Hermy is terrorizing my library
and Ron is having an attack of the munchies in my kitchen :P
Well that's it for this time.
