(A/N): Now, there's a fuckload of OBVIOUS foreshadowing in here.

Done by Cat and his strange little full-page drawing.

There's also an (obvious) information dump concerning who the hell Voldemort is.

So, enjoy!

CHAPTER TEN: FATE

The rest of the day Coraline spent in the Other World, where she wasn't quite sure if she was dreaming, as she had been during the previous two visits.

So, while she was researching in the library with the Other Melanie (who had to find and lug a twenty pound book halfway across the library), Coraline took out the magic book she had seen on her first two visits and tried to recall where she had left off.

She was flipping back and forth incredibly fast, trying to find her place.

But she didn't find her place.

Instead, completely covering one of the pages as she passed, there was a drawing of a child with button eyes being stabbed repeatedly by a woman who looked suspiciously like the Other Mother. And then the child falling backwards over a cliff...

Underneath it, a single sentence was written:

THE TRUTH WILL DIE WITH YOU

She picked up a nearby pen and wrote on the page.

What is this?

After a little while, the book answered, as if it had fallen asleep and only now awaken.

This is your fate.

Huh?

You can't avoid it, child. Either way, that is your fate.

I don't understand.

You can't. Not now.

Coraline couldn't think of what to write back.

Flee, child. Live a little longer. Whether you like it or not there's not much time left for you.

All of a sudden the Other Melanie ran around the corner. Coraline panicked and almost slammed the book shut.

The Other Melanie had an absolutely amazed expression on her face.

"I've already read this! You HAVE to see this!"

She put the book down on the table in front of Coraline, and Coraline started reading:

VOLDEMORT (TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE) was an evil wizard with anti-mudblood conspiracy and a deathwish on Harry James Potter (see HARRY JAMES POTTER on page 5,841 of The Encyclopedia of Famous Witches and Wizards, Volume 10, G-I).

During his childhood, he went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was sorted into Slytherin House and later learned he was a Parseltongue (see SALAZAR SLYTHERIN on page 10,482 of The Encyclopedia of Famous Witches and Wizards, Volume 10, P-S).

After he had received his schooling, he revealed his evil intents and committed mass-murder of thousands, although an exact number is not known.

When he was informed of a prophecy, he interpreted it to say that Harry James Potter, born on July 31st, 1980, was the 'one born as the seventh month dies' (see HARRY JAMES POTTER on page 5,841 of The Encyclopedia of Famous Witches and Wizards, Volume 10, G-I).

He was killed during the early hours of May 3rd, 1998, by a backfiring curse cast against Harry Potter.

After she had read the passage, Coraline simply exclaimed, "Wow."

"I know!" the Other Melanie said excitedly. "It's so amazing, isn't it?"

Coraline smiled at her Other Sister, and the Other Melanie smiled back.

"Time for supper, girls!" the Other Mother called from the kitchen.

"Wow, we were in here through lunch?" the Other Melanie called. "Come on, Sis!"

The two sprinted through the halls to the kitchen.

(A/N): Did you get the foreshadowing? If you didn't, I would call you a shit-for-brains, but, of course, I want to be polite. /sarcasm XD

Oh, by the way, the next chapter is the only one of Friendly Other World left. I combined around three chapters in here because I felt it wasn't long enough.

And you get to see all of the OM's power. And she's gonna show it off, don't worry about that.

No, she's not going to bother looking up Slytherin to see who he is. Hogwarts and its founders are almost entirely irrelevant to this story.

Almost.

Continue on with your lives!

The next chapter has warnings for being insanely creepy!
