AN: I do not own Harry Potter.
Also, I do not really know the story of Krishna. I was having Hermione do the same thing, reporting on something she has a little bit of knowledge on, even if it's not correct.
I corrected chapter 2. Apparently I didn't write it with even chapter 5 in mind, never mind chapter 22. Otherwise, we have Cedric and Lucius Malfoy suddenly knowing everything that Harry has gone through without Harry telling them. As that is not a super power either of them have, it was corrected. Sorry to everyone that caught it, and thank you for putting up with my mistakes.
Snape's Headache Continues
"There's something else I wanted to talk to you about."
Lucius sipped on his tea before continuing on.
"I suppose there is no way that you have forgotten what part of the prophecy you heard, but the last line you heard could mean something that nobody until now has started planning for."
"Planning for? Lucius, what are you talking about?" Snape grimaced, "and there is no way I have forgotten that bit of bad news."
"Well, you know the last line you heard, 'and the dark lord shall mark him as his equal'. What if it meant that he was to be equal to the dark lord, as in with the ability to be another dark lord?"
"You've got to be joking?"
"No, I'm not."
"I suppose that this ties in with the ability to give him our loyalty so well."
"It does. To be honest, that phrase and Potter's horcrux started my research binge this summer. I don't know what Draco was researching, but he was just as in depth."
"And you're trying to side track me. Alright, is there something else you wanted?"
"Actually, yes. I wanted you to check my Arithmancy to see if you can find any mistakes."
.
Theo Nott and Draco Malfoy looked at each other.
"Are you sure you didn't misinterpret anything?"
"Yes, I double and triple checked everything."
"That's..."
"Impossible. Yet, we have more documented cases than just our Potter."
"So, the Potter family has an actual agreement with Death with a capital D."
"None shall die unless there is an heir, in exchange for the family holding Death's cloak. There is one other family with any history with the Peverells are the Gaunts, who had the ring."
"That means that there is an unknown Gaunt running around."
"Do you think they know?"
"If they're a Gaunt, or if this is something that their family is part of? I don't know. It could be either. If they don't know this, they probably have no idea what's all going on and why in the world are they surviving, like Potter."
"Gaunts were also directly descended from Slytherin. Wait a second, remember second year, when people were calling Potter the heir of Slytherin? Isn't Slytherin something that the Dark Lord was claiming?"
"So, the Dark Lord is the Gaunt?"
"I mean, that would make sense. Only the thing is, we can't look up his parents. What we can do is look to see if any of our family from back then had anything to do with the Dark Lord and who his parents are."
"Back to Potter, once they resurrect so many times, they become a phoenix. There is that reference to that one guy, I don't remember, Falcon Potter, who 'died seven times as man, then rose the eighth time as a bird of fire everlasting'. His wife was pregnant at that time, but it seems to be a family secret how the cloak was passed on, whether the wife was allowed to use it, or whether the child was gifted it after their son was born. To this day, they do not reuse that name. Sorry, I thought that was interesting."
