Choices

Choice forty nine: Voldemort

War is filled with causalities and most of them have been chosen by me I decide who my followers attack and how badly they are to be injured. It is because of me so many are dead but now I have discovered that there is another choice for me to make but this one is more vital than any other.

That know it all Dumbledore has been looking for a new professor for that useless subject Divination and while he was doing interviews I sent my servant after him and apparently it was well worth my time.

A prophecy was made that night by the woman Dumbledore was meeting now usually I don't hold much to these but I believe this one is very important. From what Snape was able to tell me I have a large decision to make.

Unfortunately he was caught before the entire prophecy was recited but he heard enough, what I know is…

"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 …"

This is however enough I know that a child will be born at the end of July who if allowed to grow will be able to defeat me, that must not be allowed to happen. There are bound to be many children born at the end of next month but there are only two whom this can fit.

I have been thrice defied by only two sets of people who are expecting a child, the Longbottoms and the Potters. One of them is holding the key to my destruction and they can not be allowed to live.

However I have discovered a small complication both families have been warned by Dumbledore my spy Pettigrew has informed me that they were all warned. It needn't matter for the time being, they are too well protected for the now but they will not be allowed to grow up, I will kill them both before they are too old.

But why both you might wonder, I cannot take the chance by allowing one to live, I shall have them both dead, the Longbottom and Potter child. When I am not yet sure and who I will kill first that will come down to opportunity, my spy will stay close and when the time is right I will strike.

My choice in this matter can make the difference between my success and my failure, I will not let a Longbottom or a Potter defeat me even if I have to kill half the wizarding world to get to them I will do it.

Okay so just letting you know I start back at Uni tomorrow so the posting is going to be going down a bit, as yet I'm not sure when I'll be in Uni so when I get my timetable I'll work out when I can post.
