Chapter 5

He stared into the ball's depths, entranced. A voice was whispering in his ear. Or was it quietly echoing around the room? He wasn't sure. He tried to learn every word as the so-called prophecy was said, dreading the moments that were sure to be following it.

Taken away from what is rightfully his, he will rise

and the joker shall face his demise.

Born as the eighth begins,

he will be aided by those lost in time

and magic shall be his ally.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…

And either must die…

For neither can live while the other survives…

Tony continued to stare deep into the ball, still enchanted by the words that continued to reverberate around inside his head.

"What the hell was that?" Rhodey's sudden question broke the eerie, deathly silence of the hall.

Kingsley felt himself slowly come out of his shock and briefly looked at Harry, not surprised by the shock he saw still painted on his young friend's face.

"That was the prophecy." He said simply.

"That was it? What does it mean?" Pepper asked quietly.

"Only time will tell." Kingsley glanced at Harry again, really wanting to ask the same question he knew Harry was wondering about but also realised that it would not be a good idea to ask in with the company that they had at that moment.

The two, new-found brothers were still standing there, shocked, entranced with the prophecy that had just been revealed.

Harry slowly, nervously, started coming out of his shocked stupor, blinking rapidly, trying to diffuse the words out of his mind for the moment. He looked towards Kingsley and nodded. They had a lot to discuss and lot of questions which they knew would not be easy to answer.

Tony took a little longer to come out of his daydreaming (or would it be almost daymaring, day-nightmare?). He looked towards Harry, his little brother, he still couldn't quite believe it and met Harry's eyes. They softened their guard and was surprised at the question that he was asked.

"Did you want to come over and meet the family? I think it would be a better place for any conversation than this place." Harry shivered as memories of his fifth year came to the forefront of his mind once more.

The new trio looked at each other, unsure of what they should do. One hand the Department was somewhere public and surely they would move to somewhere more open. But then, why miss the chance to 'meet the family'. Pepper, especially, really wanted to get to know Lily more.

"I don't see why not," Pepper told her friends. Rhodey looked hesitant while Tony, for once in his life, looked indecisive and had nothing to say.

Harry smiled once again, trying to cover his nerves and led the way out of the Hall of Prophecies.

Stopping in the Atrium, he turned to Kingsley. "I'll meet you at Godric's Hollow. I'll go fetch Ginny and Lily and see if I can get Hermione out of work."

Kingsley nodded. "They meeting the Weasleys now or…?"

Harry looked at him, also unsure. There were a lot of Weasleys after all. He turned back to Tony, Pepper and Rhodey.

"Would you like to meet the entire family or just several?"

"What the hell, let's get this over with." Tony said, trying to regain his bravado and usual attitude.

Harry smiled at the attempt and nodded before leaving and heading in the direction that his wife had headed towards earlier.

Ginny grumbled at Harry when he told her about the guests that they were to have over and quickly flooed back to the house with Lily so that the house might have some form of order when the Americans arrived. She also couldn't think of Tony as her husband's brother but was taking it slightly better than Harry. She did want to know what Harry was so worried about though.

But then he usually does worry, sometimes he has reason to and others… she couldn't blame him though, considering everything that he, Ron and Hermione had gone through more than the others.

She heard a knock at the door and, dusting her hands against her jeans, made her way to it and opened the door.

Harry stepped into the house and pecked Ginny into the house before leading the rest of the group inside just as Lily came bounding down the stairs and jumped down the last four as she sees her brothers do.

"LILY! Don't jump down the stairs! I am seriously going to kill James for what he teaches you!" Ginny scowled at her daughter but felt a smile tugging at her lips.

"Well… erm… Welcome, I suppose to the Potter House." Harry said awkwardly.

Ginny rolled her eyes at her husband's awkwardness and motioned for the group to make their way inside.

They were just making themselves comfortable in the living room, Lily was with Pepper while Harry properly introduced everyone to Ginny once more, conversation was just beginning when Kingsley's head popped into the flames.

"Harry, Ginny. Everyone's ready."

Harry and Ginny shared a quick glance before nodding at Kingsley, who stepped back out of the fire and into the living room of the Burrow.

"Ready?" Harry asked his brother and his friends as the fire turned green and started popping and a figure started coming out just as it was in the Ministry.

As the first figure came out, Lily barrelled straight into Molly Weasley.

"Grandma! I've got another uncle!" Lily told her grandmother excitedly as she hugged her tightly. Molly shifted over so that they can get out of the way of the fire for the rest of the family to come through.

Following Molly was Arthur, Bill, Fluer, Charlie, Angelina and then George. Supposedly, Percy and Audrey were meant to be following, but being the Weasley family, something, typically, had to happen.

"GEORGE!" Percy shouted (not screamed) as he crashed into his brother and out of the flames.

Ginny sighed as her mother started telling George off for deliberately standing in front of the fireplace and set to quickly cleaning the mess.

The whole delay, made up for the late arrival of Ron and Hermione, which made up the entire family.

Harry once more turned towards his family and spoke once more.

"Welcome to the Potter-Weasley family, where this is typically normal."

Yeahhh... I'll try to update later tonight or maybe tomorrow morning.

Thanks again and cya all later! :D
