8.The real prophecy
"I still don't understand, how do you know it's about everyone you mentioned? Who is this Rapsehs? " Harry asked puzzled.
"Well, I'll try to explain to you the best I can. Rapsehs is the son of Merlin and Morgan and, as they are always pictured as the forces of Light and Darkness respectively, Rapsehs is commonly considered the union of these forces that lay within the spirits of all beings. Every being has those two forces within them and it is only a matter of choice, and it includes raising methods, which path to follow, so because of this duality, Rapsehs is considered, in most of the prophecies, the guider of paths, bringing out only the best qualities of every being, according to the way they grew up and their heart's desire. About the prophecy, the first part tells the story of my life, that I would become evil and that, if someone succeeded in making me give up the Dark Side, a child would be born and this child would be the mother of one of the Great Powers of Universe. These Great Powers are the personification of the energies that rule over life: fire, water, earth, wind, mind, spirit, light and darkness."
"So this someone, a girl I presume, succeeded in making you give up the Dark Side, but why did you become the Dark Lord anyway?"
"I'll get there soon, first I'll tell you about the second part of the prophecy. You remember that the prophecy I told you said something about star alignment, well, Morgan LeFay, when she was about to die, said that her heiress would only be born in a family with her blood and only when the stars were aligned the same way they were when she was born and only her heiress would have her powers, and the alignment in which Morgan LeFay was born only happens once in every five hundred years, so, her child had her powers but her child's child didn't and it stayed that way until Morgan was forgotten by her descendants. Your mother comes from that lineage. The prophecy also said that Morgan's heiress would seek for acceptance, and that was what happened with your mother; as a muggle born, she faced more prejudices than her schoolmates that were half bloods. She had the chance to change that, to be a rebel or worse but she got to know your father better during her sixth year, the year before her powers were awakened, and so, she let things be, she had your father's love and that was enough for her. The prophecy already said that she would meet a descendant of Godric Gryffindor and from that union the heir of Gryffindor would be born. The third part of the prophecy says that I should follow the path of darkness anyway, to ensure that the other heirs followed their respective paths, but if the girl I mentioned, my wife, succeeded in bringing me to the side of light, nothing would happen to you if we were to face each other."
" So, if you were always on the Light Side, why did you attack my family? What does the prophecy means by ' the blood of lovers' if I'm the heir of Gryffindor and you are the heir of Slytherin? It doesn't mean that Gryffindor and Slytherin were..."
Tom nodded and continued explaining the prophecy to Harry:
"Yes Potter, they were lovers, the tale of Salazar Slytherin leaving the school because he thought that only pure-bloods should attend Hogwarts is just a myth, the fact is that he left the school after an argument with Godric Gryffindor, it took only one day for Godric Gryffindor to go after Slytherin and make him come back to the school, but Slytherin preferred that no one knew that he had come back, so every books written about the four founders say that he never came back. And I attacked your family because my daughter is a great friend of your parents and when she found out that the Bringers were after them, she practically begged me to do something, so I went after your family, with the approval of the elders. The original plan was to fake their death and they would start living here, but, somehow, the plan backfired and my powers were blocked. The elders talked to me after that and we agreed that everyone should believe that it was my body that was destructed. They performed a spell to separate my soul from my body without me dying, so no one would find me and ruin the emergency plan, that is how I came across Quirrel. The diary that Ginny Weasley was using wouldn't kill her, just leave her very weak for a few weeks and then she would be okay. But, although it was Lucius Malfoy who gave her the diary, he wasn't a member of the Brotherhood of Light yet, he was just following my orders."
"But what about Wormtail? He was my parents' secret keeper, and he is a Death Eater. If you were on the light side, couldn't you have told Wormtail to warn my parents? Couldn't he just have told them what you would do to them? Couldn't..."
"No, Potter, he couldn't" Tom interfered Harry. "Wormtail is much more than a Death Eater. He is a member of the Bringers, that is why everything had to be faked. Because the Bringers were still thinking that they controlled me and it was Wormtail who should keep a close eye on me, and believe me, Potter, it doesn't seem, but he is really good at that."
"He what?!" Harry was shocked at this revelation! Pettigrew was one of those who at the moment were attacking Draco. Draco! "Wait a minute. You said that Draco is one of those 'Great Powers' and that there is an attack at the Morgan LeFay, why all of that?"
"The attack is to get Draco. If they manage to bring him to their side, we will be in great problems."
"What kind of problems?"
"Well, Draco is the heir of Merlin, he represents the Spirit, so he can do anything he wants with one's spirit. Imagine if the Bringers get hold of him. They could kill all muggles, muggle-borns, half-bloods, anyone, just by destroying their souls, and he even doesn't need to be at the same place the person is."
Harry was shocked. Hell, shocked was an understatement! Draco was the heir of Merlin himself! And those guys, the Bringers wanted him to turn him into a murderer! With a shaky voice, Harry asked:
"What else does the prophecy say?"
"It also says that two people who are 'Great Powers' should be united, but it never specified how, we only knew the answer to that when Nil told us that you and Draco were together. The countdown is about a chamber that has the essence of the elements, represented by Merlin and the others, that can be opened only by their heirs and during the longest night of the year, at exactly the sunset. The next sentence is about Rapsehs. Merlin's and Morgan's love was forbidden by the people of the time they lived in, because Morgan was seen as an evil witch when in fact she was only someone with a strong personality and a strong will, but at the time they lived, women didn't have the power of choice, so a woman who fought for her rights was seen as an evil woman."
"So, Morgan LeFey was only voicing her opinions and because of that everyone labeled her as evil?"
"Exactly, Harry. Morgan and Merlin tried to keep a relationship but she got pregnant and, after telling him what had happened, went to Egypt, where she gave birth to Rapsehs, that's why he is called 'the one born from the forces of light and darkness'. They kept seeing each other and Rapsehs grew up with his father but then a terrible war erupted in Egypt, for the power of the three. Rapsehs, at that time a 16-year-old young man, gathered a group of wizards and witches to fight those wizards who wanted to 'purify' the world from all muggles, muggle-borns, half bloods and everyone who didn't support their cause, the first formation of the 'Bringers of Purification'. Merlin brought the founders of Hogwarts to teach those wizards, friends of his son, how to fight against those who wanted the war, that was the first formation of the 'Brotherhood of Light'. Making it short, Rapsehs and the others won the war, he got married with an Egyptian princess named Nefertiti and became pharaoh, known as Ramses and had many sons and daughters; the Bluenile descend from there. To make sure that no one would come after his parents, the four founders and himself, he sealed their powers in a cave in England, but their powers were still connected to them, so, when they needed, their powers would be useful to them. I need to tell you that at that time they were already known for their power over the elements. That cave is only opened by all their heirs together and the countdown is about the time when all the heirs would start to show their powers and get ready to open the cave if it is needed. The part that says about a love forbidden by the world is about Rapsehs and his heir, that is Nil. She was born 'without prejudices' like hatred for muggles and everything else but she faced many prejudices not only because she was a pure-blood who didn't hold anything against muggles, muggle-borns and so on but also because she was raised like a muggle, also, she started her relationship with Lucius when she was only fourteen and Lucius came to the Brotherhood when she was sixteen. Because all of that the prophecy says that she should face many prejudices but with her love for Lucius, she had strength to face people's teasing and she managed to make him see that muggles weren't bad, they were people to be admired."
"So, Nil, with love got to make Lucius Malfoy change sides?"
"Yes, but you would love to see his face when he found out that I didn't believe anything they did and that all the Death Eaters were involved in a bigger war"
"I can hardly imagine"
"It was priceless to see his astonished face. Anyway, after that the next part of the prophecy is about Helga Hufflepuff's heir, Christa Ley Fawceth, it is the same Christa you know, her parents were murdered by the Bringers and when she found out, she wanted to see each one of them dead, but with a lot of talking from the Brotherhood's part, she left her hatred behind and concentrated herself in making them see that the path of hatred is full of suffering and neither us nor them will win if we take this path and the last part is about Hermione Snape; you know that she suffered a lot not only because she was muggle-born but also because she liked to read, all her friends, you, the Weasleys, Nil... all of you helped her see that Severus loved her despite what he was always showing and she found the will to accept his role as spy and know-it all's hater while he was in public. They ended up together despite all the things they went through, didn't they?"
"Yeah, they did." Harry smiled when he remembered Hermione telling him that she was seeing Snape. Ron totally freaked out but accepted it after the initial shock.
Their talk was interrupted by someone screaming:
"Holy fuck!" It was Lionel, one of the wizards that were monitoring the attack at the Morgan LeFay. The monitor had exploded and threw Lionel near them.
"What happened?" Asked Tom while he helped Lionel back on his feet again.
"I don't know Tom. I was just monitoring Lucius arrival at the building in the middle of the attack. The heir of Merlin was already using his powers. I saw Lucius get near the boy and then the monitor exploded.
It was then that Tom looked at the monitors that were monitoring the attack at the Morgan LeFay; they were all blanc, like an old television where you can't watch anything. They were in problems.
"Merlin's ass!" Tom exclaimed when he saw the monitors.
"What is it?" Harry asked worriedly.
"We lost the connection. It means that we won't be able to know what is happening there, neither if Draco is okay until someone gets here; that is, if there is still anyone alive there apart from Draco."
Harry looked at the monitors not believing what he was listening. They wouldn't be able to know if Draco was alive until someone arrived. That was... a nightmare.
"Draco..." Harry whispered shaking his head.
I know, I'm evil, but it will be worth the wait, next chapter, Draco arrives at the Brotherhood headquarters, stay tuned everyone, and don't forget the purple button below, come on, you know you want to press it and make me happy. I'll wait for your review.
