The Dark Lord shall rise again ...
He shall only fear the child he marked ...
The boy will fall if he remains alone ...
He will be joined by three in his struggle ...
The first was born of shadows black embrace ...
The second was born of flame and sky...
The third was born of frigid ice...
They must unite in heart and soul ...
For if they fall the Dark Lord shall rule Eternally ...
October 31st 1981 - Prophecy from Sibyll Trelawney to Albus Dumbledore
November 1st 1981 Hogwarts Infirmary ~
"Albus ,not that I am sad that we brought young Harry here, may I ask why ?" said a witch who looked to be in her late fifties .
The old man she asked stopped his pacing and looked at her before letting a sigh out .
"Minerva another phrophecy was just given to me and I believe it to pertain to the boy". Albus paused for a moment to catch his breath before continuing "and I believe it would be best to have Harry grow up in the wizarding world ".
The scotish woman simply starred at her companion waiting for him to explain in greater detail.
"Well now the interesting part is going to be where to place him ...we ,of course, can't put him with a death-eater family but unfortunately most of the people the Potters where close with are not suitable for the task of raising Harry" said Albus by now his words more directed to himself then Minerva.
Said woman simply sighed and agreed "Unfortunate indeed, his God- father betrayed his parents and of their two other freinds one is dead and the other is a werewolf "muttered Minerva while rubbing her temples.
"Is there anyone else ,Albus? " McGonagall asked desperately .
Albus racked his brain for possible solutions and sadly came up blank . He peered over his half-moon glasses and shook his head while saying" The only family I know for certain would have been willing and able to take him in was the Longbottoms but alas they are no longer suitable choices ".
"Albus you look tired let's move this to your office "said Minerva.
When she saw him about to open his mouth she cut him off by saying" There is nothing we can do here that we cannot do in your office and you know Poppy is more than capable to look after Harry ".
A few minutes later~
The two professors were seated at the headmasters desk having an animated discussion the prophecy and the boy that was at the center of it all.
"Hmm ...so it seems that Harry will have to find his three soulmates or the world is doomed to You-Know-Who's rule" stated Minerva .
When Dumbledore hummed is agreement the scotish woman gasped and said "It is really quite simple Albus we just need to place him with one of his soulmates' family if possible ".
"While that sounds simple there is any hundreds of potential canidates for either of the three soulmates" responded Albus to his deputy .
Minerva not willing to give up asked to see the paper he wrote the prophecy on and began to study it intently.
After a few minutes of studying she handed it back to her companion and asked for any additional information on soulmates that the headmaster might know.
Albus then flicked his wand saying "Accio Book of Prophecy" and a large black book came flying from one of the many bookshelves that lined the room.
He opened the large tome and began quoting " While the nature of most prophetic vision are not well understood the soulbond class of prophecy always follows set rules making it far easier to decipher than most"Albus paused here to give himself a chance to breathe.
He continued reading aloud " There are two destinctions in soulbound prophecies . The Anchour ,being the subject the vision is about, and the bonded . The bonded revolve around the Anchour's indenty meaning that there are certain qualifications that must be met inorder to be ones bonded".
Albus turned the page and read the final passage " The bonded Must meet these following conditions in relations to the Anchour ."Albus paused here with a hopeful look adorning his tried visage for the first time in a while.
"One: The bonded must be within five years either younger or older than the Anchour
:Two: The bonded must already be born when the prophecy was delivered.
Three: The bonded are always the opposite sex of the Anchour .
Four: The bonded must be (at the time of the vision )must be in the same ley lines as the Anchour. However there is nothing stopping the bonded from leaving the ley line where the prophecy was made afterwords." finshed Albus by closing the century old book .
Andromeda Tonks was enjoying a holloween dinner with her daughter and husband when she heard the news of the Dark Lord's downfall .
At first she was overjoyed at the news until she heard of the cost that her best friend Lily had to pay .
Her thoughts went to her godson .
Poor Harry would grow up without his parents but she would do her duty and raise the boy .
She gathered her daughter the next day since Ted was at work and apperated to Hogwarts .
After wandering through the village and up to the castle she found the headmaster in the hospital wing with Harry.
"Andromeda , it is a pleasure to see you as always but I have pressing matters to deal with so I must why are you here?" said Albus looking surprised to see her.
Andromeda looks into his eyes and says "Headmaster I am here to adopt Harry as it in my rights as I am his Godmother. "
