Ch3: The Prophecy Revealed
"You're my what" said Harry "I am your Great Great Great Great Grandfather." Replied Dumbledore.
"Why didn't you ever tell me, why would you lie to me when you said I no family left other than the Dursley's" "Harry I never told you because of Grindelwald's followers. They had killed my family, my wife my son. I had only managed to send my 1 year old daughter off to live in an orphanage when Grindelwald's followers came to our house. My son died bravely protecting my wife in the dinning room, while I battled countless dark wizards to get into the house to help them. By the time I had made it into where they had been, there was nothing left but a heap of bodies. I felt helpless; I had let them down both of them."
"When I saw my daughter at Hogwarts I wanted nothing more than to run to her with open arms, but she wouldn't have known who I was. Besides, Grindelwald's followers were still at large hunting down as much of my family as possible. Your mother was the descendent of her. I am sorry Harry that I never told you sooner, but I had to keep you safe. On the day of the Ministry event the last known follower of Grindelwald was killed by a member of the order."
After hearing this Harry was completely shocked. He was amazed at what this old man; his grandfather had done to protect those he loved. Now he, Harry, understood why Dumbledore had always said the most important and powerful magic of all is love. About five minutes later Harry got up and walked over to his long lost (I am sick of writing great 4 times so from now on it is just going to be grandfather)grandfather and hugged him while he whispered " It's alright grandfather, I understand why you did the things you did."
When they broke apart Dumbledore had tears in his eyes, and he looked about 20 years younger than he did about two minutes ago. Then he stood up and said, "I am going to let Sirius and Remus in and I believe you should tell them of the Prophecy and everything I just told you. Oh and by the way Hermione is also joining the order with the permission of her parents. Unfortunately for the two of you Molly has not allowed Ron to join and has asked that you Hermione do not share any information with him. The big problem is I have noticed a jealousy streak in Ronald's history and I suggest you and Hermione ponder how you are going to tell him of your new enrollment." At this Dumbledore walked to the door and opened it to find two very tired looking men.
"Harry, Albus, what took you so long you said you wouldn't be long, but we have been waiting out here for over an hour." Stated Remus. "Well Harry and I had a lot to discuss and it is time for you to join our little conversation."
"Harry you go head and start with the prophecy" said Dumbledore "and then I will about your family." "Ok" replied Harry.
"Well Sirius, Professor Lupin, I get to tell you the bad news part of this conversation. The prophecy, the one that voldemort had gone to the ministry to get, well it turns out that it was about me and him. It goes like this: 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…. Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows not… And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…. The one with the power to vanquish the dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies….' Well guys, it looks like in the end it is either me or Voldemort and that's all there is to it." " Harry" said Sirius, "are you sure this is you I mean look at the Longbottoms." Then for the first time since Harry told them the prophecy Remus spoke up and said, "That can be ruled out because Harry was marked as his equal."
"Well on a lighter note" said Dumbledore, "There is another member of Harry's family who has decided to present himself." "Well who is it?" said Sirius. "It is me" replied Dumbledore. Then he went on to explain about Grindelwald and protecting his family.
"The last part that we should discuss before I go is your new situation at Hogwarts." Said Dumbledore. "What is it" asked Harry. "Well Professor McGonagall has decided that Ron has neglected his prefect duties to often and so we have decided to give the open position to you. You also have been made quidditch captain because you are the last member of the original team. Then there is the matter of your training to fight Voldemort. I have decided to secretly remove yours and Hermione's magical detection so you can both begin training this summer. The reason I have not removed Ron's is because there is something curious about disappearances this summer. Molly believes it is nothing, but I am not quite as convinced. I am going to warn you yet again about treading carefully around Mr. Weasley. If you seek someone to confide in, look to me, Sirius, Remus, Hermione, and any other member of the order but be wary of what you say around Ron." "Ok grandpa, I will do so." Replied Harry
"Good" said Dumbledore, getting up showing that the conversation was over. "Harry I will see you tomorrow at lunch to discuss with you and Hermione a training schedule, Goodnight."
After another short conversation Harry went up to his bedroom to find Ron snoring loudly and talking about giant spiders. He just laughed to himself remembering their trip into the forbidden forest together back in their second year. With that thought in mind Harry just drifted off to sleep dreaming about his best friend being a death either, his grandfather, and much to his pleasure, Hermione.
