Remembered Prophecy.
Chapter 01.
It was night, and it was cold, very cold, it was the 25th of September 1980 and the autumn was in its full glory, the trees were showing a brownish shade of gold and storms raged all over the British nation.
In a not so well know town, in the part of Britain not know to most people, several wizards were gathering for a very secret meeting.
The house they met in was a small cottage, with a very old grass roof, the chimney billowed smoke in grey and black hues and the illumination from the windows gave a soft orange glow to the already fallen leafs on the ground.
In the middle of the living room was a grand table, perfectly round and perfectly polished, it was the only thing in the house that looked new, all other furniture had an old worn look to them, not that it made the house look uninhabited, on the contrary it gave the house a feel of home, the home everyone knows, like visiting your grandparents and knowing where the candy was hidden, hearing children playing at Christmas unpacking presents and squeaking in delight. The home where memories was fond and you had a smile on your face remembering it.
Around the table sat ten wizards in deep conversations, you could hear them mumble and gesture vividly with their hands as the talks continued.
Suddenly one more wizard came into the room, his robes were a deep blue with silver streaks to it, he had a pointy hat on his head and his silver beard blended perfectly with the streaks on his robes.
The wizard was obviously very respected by the others as all conversations immediately stopped and all of them looked at him, waiting to hear what he had to say.
"It has happened" He said in a soft whisper "The prophecy has come true"
Conversations immediately started again but more vigorous than before, and the wizard waved his arms to silence them again.
"This is what we have been waiting for, my friends, now we have to decide what to do about it" He said in a clear voice "We need to make a decision now as to how to mask it to our enemy until we can put the prophecy into full use, I have an idea how to do it, but it will require our complete devotion and care to succeed".
One of the wizards sitting raised his hand.
"Yes, professor Snape?" The man asked.
"Headmaster, could you tell us what your idea entails, please?" Snape said.
Dumbledore smiled at Snape and began to explain his idea, the twinkle in his eye was greatly magnified by the roaring fire and shadows danced around the whole room as he continued explaining with gestures and smiles. The wizards sitting first showed interest but as the explanation continued the faces of interest turned to surprise and then to shock and disbelief.
"My good!" one of the witches said with shock in her voice "I…I...I cannot believe it…... that this is going to happen?"
"Believe it, professor McGonagall, it will be as I explained, that is why we have to start making preparations to begin our task after this meeting, we must not spare one minute just to be sure that Voldemort does not get wind of this." Dumbledore insisted with a strong voice.
The only sound was the crack and pops from the fire and the strong wind blowing at the shudders outside in the dark night. The faces of all the wizards bore a deep expression of worry and fear, as all of them contemplated the decision and repercussions of it, if indeed they decided to go ahead.
One of the wizards, a young man with raven black hair and a pale face stood up and said in a clear voice "If indeed my son is part of this prophecy then I will do anything in my power to make sure he is ready when the times comes to stand face to face with his destiny, even if it requires the actions we agree to here."
"Please honey, you know I feel the same as you", a young woman said as she put her hand on his arm reassuringly, she was red haired and her eyes were as green as the forest on a clear summer day with a glimmer to them, "We will do as you say, Headmaster"
"Thank you Lily and James, I trust you with this task and we will help as much as is possible" Dumbledore said as he smiled to her and James then turned to the remaining wizards. "So, everyone, are we all clear on what we have to do?"
All of the wizards each gave a nod to Dumbledore as he looked at them one after another.
"Good, so lets get started, James and Lily I will come with you to make sure it is done so it works permanently, and you professor McGonagall, you will go and take care of the other part I trust?" He said with a smile.
"Of course Headmaster, it will be as you say" McGonagall said still a bit shaken, and disapparated on the spot.
Almost all of the wizards remaining apparated at the same time, making a noise like firecrackers being lit at the same time, and soon the only sound heard was the fire and a sigh from Dumbledore as he looked out into the night sky, the clouds were passing by at an astounding speed as the storm gained in force and the wind hurled the leafs around the house as if it was surrounded by a blizzard, a brownish golden blizzard.
"I hope by Merlin that this will work…." Dumbledore whispered to the window glass as his breath made a small foggy circle that quickly faded away. He turned around and with at pop, smile and a twinkle in his eye he disappeared.
The fire continued, smoke rising up the chimney out into the air, as the wind howled like a wolf calling out in the silent night.
