Chapter 1

The Prophecy

Harry Potter (POV)

__________________________

"Harry!" Hermione Granger called, rushing over to Harry Potter as he was walking down the hall toward the lift at the Ministry of Magic. Harry turned around and stopped walking at the call of his name. He watched Hermione as she hurried toward him, while clutching books in her arms. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had recently gotten jobs at the Ministry of Magic, after the war at Hogwarts. "Hi Harry!" Hermione gasped catching her breath as she caught up to Harry. "Hi Hermione." said Harry smiling slightly, knowing that Hermione would not rush over to him during the middle of the day just to say hi, (especially since it looked like she had a lot of work on her hands,) and waited for her to continue. "Are you busy at the moment?" Hermione asked. "No," Harry replied, "I'm just going to go have lunch with Ron, it's our break, why?" Hermione turned slightly red as she said, "I'm supposed to go down to the Department of Mysteries and retrieve one of the prophecies - " "Retrieve one of the prophecies?" Harry interrupted Hermione confused, "I thought only the person whom the prophecy was made for can be the only one to get it?" "Well," said Hermione suddenly sounding very business-like, "They gave me the spells to remove the enchantments protecting the prophecies so they can be handled by anyone for a short period of time. That is to say, twelve hours." "Okay," Harry said slowly, "So, what do you need me for?" "Well," said Hermione turning slightly red again, "I was wondering if you could come with me. I hate going down there alone!" Harry looked into her pleading eyes for a few seconds and then sighed, "Ok fine. I just have to tell Ron - " "He can come too!" Hermione exclaimed interrupting him, her face lighting up. "Alright," Harry said turning to the lift and hitting the down button, Hermione hurrying after him, (after she dropped her books off onto their shelves,) "We just have to find him." But they didn't have to go far. They had went down one floor when the lift's doors opened and Ron stepped inside. "Hi Harry. Hi Hermione." said Ron smiling at Hermione, she smiled back. "Where are we going this time?" Ron asked turning to Harry. "Well, actually, we're going to the Department of Mysteries with Hermione. She has to fetch something." He replied. "Alright." Ron answered. The lift doors opened and a cool female voice said, "Level 9, Department of Mysteries." They exited the lift and walked down the halls until they came to the familiar door. Hermione pushed open the door to reveal a circular room with many doors. Torches were held in brackets and were issuing blue light. They hurried across the dimly lit room, leaving the door behind them open, and heading for the door directly across from them, and pushed it open. They dashed across the Time Room, opened one more door and entered the Hall of Prophecies. "It's in row fifteen." Hermione muttered as she hurried along the rows, Harry and Ron hurrying after her. "Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, ah! Here it is!" Hermione exclaimed finding the row and heading to the end of the row. Harry and Ron glanced at all the prophecies in the row as they walked toward Hermione who had her wand out, and pointed at one of the glass orbs, while muttering the spells under her breath. The name on the label of the prophecy read:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Evanna Condle

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Ah ha! I've got it!" Hermione cried as she reached out to grab the prophecy, grabbed it, and held it carefully in her hands. "Let's get out of here!" Hermione said. "Hold on." Ron said oddly. He was standing in the middle of the row, staring at one of the prophecies on a shelf just above his head. "What is it?" Harry asked Ron concerned. Ron reached out his hand to grab the glass orb but jumped back when Hermione cried "No! I have to remove the enchantments first! It's not your - " "But it has our names on it." Ron said turning to stare at them pointing to the label below the prophecy. "What?" Hermione said, Harry rushing after her, "But that's impossible!" Hermione said as she stared at the label. Harry stared at it too. There were other people's names on it also. The names on the label read:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Harry Potter

Ronald Weasley

Hermione Granger

The Doctor

Rose Tyler

Adrian Monk

Rapunzel

Jack Frost

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"What?" Harry repeated to himself again. "Another prophecy?!" Harry exclaimed turning to look at Ron and Hermione who wore the same expression as he felt: Shocked and confused. "Apparently." Hermione muttered, "Ok, we have to be careful with this one. We don't know what - Ron NO!" Hermione's sentence ended in a shriek, for Ron's hand had suddenly shot out toward the prophecy. His hand missed, but sent the prophecy flying into the air. "CATCH IT!!!" Harry yelled. He didn't know what was in that prophecy, but he had a feeling that it was very important. Their hands all shot up in the same direction. They all missed. The prophecy slipped from their fingers and smashed on the floor. "Sorry!" Ron exclaimed looking panic-stricken, "I don't know what I was thinking!" A pearly white figure was forming from the smoke of the broken prophecy. It formed into the shape of a girl, who had wild curly hair, and had an oddly blank expression. In a calm, smooth voice she said:

************************************

"Two wizards, a witch, a Timelord, a Bad Wolf, a detective, a girl with long magic hair, and a guardian will come together in the most unlikely events. All Universes will collide. Every one of them, in danger. They must team up to fight against evil. The fabric of Time will be torn. The Universe will crack. The end of the Universe. The End of Time and Space itself. There will be nothing...if they fail."

************************************

The smoke version of the girl vanished, leaving Harry, Ron, and Hermione in a state of shocked silence.
