The weasleys kitchen was crowded as usual. Harry Ron and Ginny were sat at the table along with Bill. Mrs Weasley was stood in the corner busying herself with something or other. When she heard Harry put his trunk down, she turned and rushed over immediately her arms wrapping around him.

'Harry dear how are you?' she asked concernedly pulling out of the hug and holding him at arms length.

'I'm fine Mrs Weasley.' Harry answered. And when she still didn't look convinced he added 'honestly I am.'

'Ok then.' she walked back to the corner busying himself with what she was doing before.

'Alright Harry' said Bill rising from the table and walking over to him and shaking his hand. He turned and called to Mrs Weasley 'I'm gonna go now mum, I'll be back later.'

He apparated from the kitchen with a small pop.

'Hey guys.' Harry said to the three now sitting at they table.

'Alright mate'

'Hi Harry.'

'Hey Harry.'

Harry looked at them beaming. It was so good to see them again. And to be back in the burrow after so long.

Harry gave Ron and Hermione a significant look.

'Ron can you help me put my stuff up in your room?"

Ron looked at him questioningly for a second, 'umm, sure yeah. Do you need Hermione's help too?'

'Yeah, I do.' Harry said looking at Hermione. They headed for the door.

'But you've only got your trunk and that's not that heavy is it? Why do you need three of you?' Ginny called after them looking confused. They ignored her and headed up the stairs.

When the got to Ron's room Harry motioned them in and shut the door behind them.

Harry sat down on Ron's bed and took a deep breath. He had decided to tell them. He knew he had to sooner or later so he may as well get it over and done with.

'Umm, guy you had best sit down. I've got something to tell you.'

'Harry what's this about?' asked Hermione looking concerned.

Harry looked at her and Ron seriously and gestured for them to sit down.

They did. They were unsure what was going on. They knew that whatever Harry was going to tell them it had to be was big, Harry was rarely this serious. What he was about to tell them had to be important.

'What is it mate?' Ron asked.

'I've got something that I want to tell you. Well something that I need to tell you. I mean I gonna have to tell you sooner or later. I just don't know where to begin.' Harry said looking at his friends. He knew he was babbling but he just didn't know where to begin, it was just so big.

'You guys are the best friends anyone could ask for, the best friends that I've ever had. You've always been there for me when I've needed you and I know that's been a lot and I am so grateful for that. I just hope that you'll be there for me in the future. I'm going to need you. Both of you.'

'Harry we'll be there for you when ever you need us.' Hermione said and Ron nodded.

Harry stood up. He walked his back facing them.

'I don't know where to begin' he whispered audibly to himself.

'How about the beginning?' Ron said trying to be helpful.

'The beginning? I'm not really sure where the beginning is.'

Harry took a deep breath and said 'you know when we were in the department of mysteries and there was that prophecy that the Death Eaters wanted?'

'Yeah, but it smashed and no one heard it. That's what Neville said anyway.' Hermione said at once.

'Well it did. No one heard it, not there anyway.'

'Harry what do you mean?' Ron asked.

'Dumbledore.' Hermione whispered as though to herself not the two boys with her.

'Yeah Dumbledore. I've heard it now. I know what it said. I know- I know what it means.'

Harry paused once again and turned to face them.

'The prophecy was about the birth of a boy that would have the power to vanquish Voldemort.' Harry told them.

'But what's that got to do with you Harry? Surely it could have been any boy. I mean there are a lot.' Hermione said.

'No. This boy was born at the end of July. As the seventh month dies.' Harry looked at his friends. 'The boys parents would have escape Voldemort three times and-'

'And yours had.' Hermione completed.

'Yeah.' Harry smiled at the thought of his parents. 'Mine had. So Voldemort tried to kill me when I was a baby. But he didn't know the whole story, he didn't hear all of it.'

'What do you mean all of it?' Ron asked.

'There was more. The guy only heard half of it, he didn't hear the rest. At the end, it says that Voldemort will mark the boy as an equal. Apparently that's what this is.' He pointed to the scar on his forehead 'it said that he would have powers the Dark Lord knows not. I'm not quite sure what they are but apparently I have them.'

He paused again. He turned away from the others. This was the hard part. To tell your best friends that you were going to have to become a murderer, that you'd have to kill someone. This was the part that Harry was having trouble coming to terms with it himself, now he was about to tell two others, to drag them into this.

'Then there's the last part. It says that one of us- one of us has to kill the other. That's the only way it can end.' Harry said this quickly as though it would be easier for them to take.

He turned around to face his friends. They were both sat on the bed silent, their mouths slightly open.

They sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity.

Hermione was the first to recover.

'That's huge Harry. You know that we'll be there if and when you need us. This is just so big. Are you sure it's right? I mean who made it? Do you know?'

'Err yeah I do. It was Trelawney. Now I know what you're gonna say Hermione' He said as she made to say something,'but this was another real one. Not one of her stupid predictions that she always makes. This was the real thing. It's going to happen and there's not a lot we can do to stop it. I have to kill him. Or he'll kill me.'

Once again the room fell silent.

'Has Dumbledore known all along then?' Ron asked.

'Yeah he was the one who heard it. It was when he was interviewing Trelawney for divination teacher. He said that he was waiting until I was ready to know. But then, when could you ever be ready to find that out?'

'I dunno.' said Ron pensively 'but you do know that we'll be there whatever.'

'Yeah I know. Thanks guys'

They actually took that better than I thought they would. Harry thought looking at his two friends. I know that they'll be there for me but I don't want them to get hurt. Everyone else seems to when they try to help me. To save me. I don't know what I'd do with out them.

'So Harry did you get your O.W.L results?' Ron asked.

Harry was grateful for the change in subject though he was sure that it would be revisited soon.

'Yeah they weren't too bad really.'

'Mine either. Somebody' Ron turned to face Hermione 'got straight O's.'

Hermione blushed 'Yeah I did.' she said beaming. 'I mean I know I expected good marks but getting straight O's...' Her voice trailed off.

Harry laughed. 'You sound exactly like Elana.' He said remembering the friend he left behind on Privet Drive.

'Oh, Elana. What's she like?' Hermione asked 'you've mentioned her several time in your letters, you must have spent a lot of time with her.'

'Err that's an understatement. We've spent most of our time together since she moved in next door. She is amazing. She's smart, she loves quidditch, she's great. It's been so good to have someone around on Privet Drive who's like me, who doesn't think I'm a freak. Her family's great too. They've been great to me over the past few weeks. they've really taken me in. They don't mind if I'm there all time, they're just great.' Harry smiled reminiscently.

'So, will she be in our year? Does she know what house she's going to be in? I'm guessing she's coming to Hogwarts.'

'Yes she's going to be coming to Hogwarts, her and her sister. She's going to be in the same year as us. Her sister Bethany is going to be a third year. She doesn't know what house she's going to be in yet, she's getting sorted next week. I hope she's in Gryffindor though.'

'I can't wait to meet her. Perhaps we could meet up with her in Diagon Alley or something over the next couple of weeks or something. I mean it should be ok. I know that we wouldn't be alone but surely they could put people on watch in Diagon Alley or something. But yeah we're going to have to get our school stuff at some point.' Hermione said.

'Yeah I think that's a good a great idea. She can't wait to meet you guys either. I've told her all about you.'

'All good I hope.' said Hermione smiling.

'Of course.' said Harry.

'I wouldn't believe him Mione. He's probably told her what an evil little witch you are.' said Ron jokingly smiling at Hermione.

'Yeah, well you know.' Hermione replied smiling too.

But then she wasn't the only evil one around.
