The Twin Marauders

40)The Prophecy

"Not again!" I cursed under my breath. I picked up the big pieces of the now broken plate and set them up on the table.

"Whoops." Thomas's small voice quivered.

"Oh, you're okay. Just don't touch the glass, alright?" I pointed my wand at the plate and the pieces came back together.

Thomas nodded and ran off. I sighed and followed him into the drawing room. "Paddy?"

"Daddy's with the order." I sat on the sofa and rubbed my stomach. I was having another baby, due in a couple of months.

"Mummy?" He climbed up next to me.

"Yes, Thomas?"

"Gran ma?" He jumped on my lap.

"She's gone." I swallowed. "And so is Grandpa." Death Eaters attacked my cousin Angelica's house two weeks ago. Voldemort had been trying to recruit my parents and Angelica for a while, but he finally killed them. My parents as well as Angelica, her husband, and her two children did not have proper funerals because of the fear of attack.

"Whoops." He put a hand on my stomach. "Mummy!"

"Yep, you're going to have a brother or a sister." I ruffled his hair and he flipped his hair.

An owl flew into the room and dropped a letter on Thomas's head. "Mummy!" He caught it as it fell off his head and gave it to me. I ripped it open and read;

Sirius and Arabella Black,

I have important information for you. The Potters have kindly agreed to a small meeting in their home. Please come as soon as possible.

Albus Dumbledore

"When Daddy comes home, do you want to go play with Harry and Amilya?" I set down the letter.

"Millie!" Thomas nodded.

"Okay, we just have to wait for your father to get home."

A few minutes later, the front door opened. "Hey." He gave me a peck on the lips. "Hi little dude!" He kissed Thomas on the head.

"Ha Millie!"

"What about Harry and Amilya?" Sirius raised an eyebrow.

"We have to go to the Potters' house right now." I explained. "Dumbledore has to talk to us."

"Let's go right now." Sirius picked up Thomas and took my hand before he Apparated.

We turned up at their doorstep and knocked. James opened the door and let us in.

Sirius put Thomas down and he quickly ran off to Amy's room. "Let's go into the dining room." James led the way.

The dining room was occupied by a small group of people. Dumbledore sat at the head, Remus, Alice, Frank, Peter, and Lily around the table. James sat next to his wife and I sat on the other side of Lily. Lily was also very pregnant, due around the beginning of November.

As soon as Sirius sat, Dumbledore spoke. "I should've told all of you sooner."

"What's going on?" Remus asked.

"Earlier last year, I heard two prophecies. I'll recite them and explain why I have asked for this gathering. Both of them are pretty much the same, with some differences.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.
