Clarifying things-Questions answered.
Author's Note: So I got this very deep question filled review from CheshireCat - I think that's her/his name...and I wonder if there are any of you who also wonder about these same questions. So...this is sort of a HARRY FLASHBACK
"Professor Dumbledore, you called me?" Harry asked, looking around the Headmaster's office. He was on his way to the Great Hall when an owl came to him and he saw that there was a letter tied around his ankle for him.
It said that the Headmaster needed him immediately. So he went.
"Harry, please sit down. I have something very important to discuss with you and please, do not repeat anything I say outside of these walls," Dumbledore spoke with a sense of authority. Harry noticed the usual spark and twinkle in his ocean blue eyes were gone.
What happened?
"Harry, I have already told you about Horcruxes," Harry nodded, "and I called you here to inform you that someone valuable will be available to you in your search. You already know that Professor Snape will guide you, but there is someone else. He came to me last week and asked for protection, and I granted his request," Harry nodded again.
"Before I tell you who this is Mr. Potter, I must say that you cannot tell Ms. Granger about any of this-" Dumbledore was interrupted by Harry's protest.
"Sir, with all due respect, Hermione has been with me through thick and thin, and I will tell her unless you have a good reason that I will decide against my actions," Harry stated firmly. If it was anyone who could help him in the search, it certainly would be Hermione.
Dumbledore sighed and looked at Harry's emerald eyes for a long time, and finally began to talk, "Harry, about two days after this person came to me, one very reliable Seer informed me that our dear Ms. Granger will have many children from this person, all of them will have silver-blonde hair. Does this remind you of anyone Mr. Potter?"
"Malfoy," Harry sneered, and Dumbledore nodded.
So Malfoy was the guy who wanted protection.
"She says that Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy are soul mates. She also said that if Mr. Malfoy were to produce an heir with someone else, his child will rise again to be the new dark lord. I was a bit skeptical before but I found a prophecy, Harry.
"The one who smells new parchment and grass,
is destined for the Prince of the house of the Snake.
The Prince and the Otter shall have many, with hair of corn silk
but it could also lead to a new lord's wake.
Six years apart, they will soon come together,
but bring them close now,
and the world shall be damaged forever."
Dumbledore finished reciting the prophecy, and looked at Harry, hoping he would understand.
"Wait...so you're telling me that in the future, Hermione and Malfoy will be deeply in love and have lots of blonde babies. But if they're close now, Malfoy will run off and produce and heir which will be the next dark lord..." Harry clarified in one breath. This is a lot to take in.
"Precisely, Harry. So you must only tell Mr. Weasley, and no one else. Later on, if you decide to take both Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger with you in your search for Horcrux, device plans for any of you gentlemen to retrieve information. Is this clear Harry?"
With the deepest sigh, Harry nodded.
He had to keep a secret from Hermione
