"As I was saying. Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy involving Harry and a Dark Lord meant Lord Voldemort, but the other candidate is Albus Dumbledore. After much research Slytherin left Hogwarts for a good reason. Rowena cursed Godric and Harrison to an eternity of suffering. That is why it is so important for Oliver and Harry to love each other so. Blood heritage was important to Salazar, but his friendship with Godric was more valuable. The Chamber of Secrets was to be used against Ravenclaw. For she would have been the sole survivor."

"And all of the stuff about Salazar is…"

"Altered truths. In every lie there is a hint of a truth. Dumbledore almost prevented this prophecy from occurring. That would have been disastrous. The Ravenclaw line sure is a force to be reckoned with."

"Tom, I still love him. Not as Voldemort, but as Tom Riddle. The kind and gentle young man that shared the same thirst for knowledge as myself. Your brother and Potter have suffered more than enough. They are lucky to have you."

"Dumbledore's meddling can send him to Azkaban. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts, not the Minister of Magic. And final wills and testaments partially fall under the Department of Mysteries so I will be able to charge him with a lot. I should have gotten them years ago. My parents' will and that of the Potter's said I was to raise their children at age 17 if no one else listed could do so."

"Why was I never contacted? I am your grandmother! I have more blood ties to yourself, Oliver, and Potter than to those squibs and muggles!" McGonagall bellowed.

"Look at this"

"I, Albus Dumbledore, feel it is in the best interest of Minerva McGonagall, a member of my staff, to waive her right to custody to her grandchildren."

"He didn't!"

"Minerva, he did. Moments after my parents died he sent that and that's not all. He sent a similar note to deny custody of Harry citing that you were far too old and busy to cope with a baby. He also passed anti-werewolf and giant legislation, made sure Sirius never got a far trial, and bypassed everyone listed in my parents and the Potter's wills."

"We have our work cut out for us."

"Excuse me for a moment… Oliver, Harry. Lunch's ready!"
