The-Prophecies-Foretold (I) [Chapter 251]

~~Hall of Prophecies~~

“So, this is the Hall of Prophecies… Impressive” Harry muttered as he looked around, thoroughly impressed. The Hall was simply massive and it was kind of impossible to see how big it truly was. As far as he could see, there were only the glowing orbs. “How many Prophecies are there in total?” Harry asked as he turned his head to glance at Saul.

“Do you want the exact number or an approximate?” Instead of Saul, the other Unspeakable, who was in charge of the Hall of Prophecies answered. Harry could see the man’s name floating above his head, but Saul had previously warned him against revealing anyone’s name before the man brought him here. Harry didn’t particularly care so he was fine either way.

“Exact?” Harry asked, wondering if they really kept the count.

“4 million, 237 thousand, 524” The Unspeakable answered after a moment and Harry whistled, looking impressed. “And we only started keeping records after the establishment of the Department of Mysteries” The man added and even though Harry couldn’t see his face, he knew that the man was grinning.

“Whew!” Harry breathed out, looking gobsmacked. “By the way, do you know how many Prophecies have been fulfilled since the Department was established?” Harry asked curiously.

The Unspeakable turned toward Saul and after getting a nod from the boss man, the Unspeakable decided to answer the question. “Only 234” The man answered solemnly.

“Hmm… That’s not much, considering the total” Harry hummed thoughtfully. “Is there a chance that the rest of these Prophecies are going to be fulfilled?” Harry asked.

“Divination as a whole is extremely finicky and inaccurate… From my personal experience, all the Prophecies we keep here are going to come true. It might take time, like millions of years, but the Prophecy will come true, while some people believe that some Prophecies are never meant to come true” The Unspeakable finished glancing toward Saul.

The man simply sighed… “Well, I believe that some Prophecies are never going to come true. Still, Prophecies are not my speciality so I am going to defer to my colleague, who obviously knows more” Saul finished.

“All the Prophecies in here are True Prophecies” The Unspeakable leading them said.

“True Prophecies?” Harry asked as he inclined his head in confusion.

“Yes. True Prophecies. A True Prophecy is a Prophecy where the person giving the Prophecy will go into a trance and they won’t remember what happened. They would wake up looking confused after delivering the Prophecies… In my experience, True Prophecies always come true, eventually. There are other forms of Divination too, but they are not that accurate all the time” The man finished.

“I see…” Harry mumbled, feeling somewhat fascinated. To be honest, he never considered Prophecies as important, but it was still interesting. He wouldn’t deny that. “I have to admit, our chat was interesting, but I came here for something” Harry revealed and the Unspeakable nodded his head in understanding.

“This is not how we usually operate, but these are not usual times” The Unspeakable laughed good-naturedly. “Weird…” The man mumbled, making Harry raise his brows at the man.

“What’s weird?” Harry asked without missing a beat.

“There are two Prophecies referring to you” The Unspeakable answered while looking at the book in his hands.

“Interesting… You don’t mind if I grab the other one too, don’t you?” Harry asked as he glanced toward Saul and the man simply shrugged, conveying that he didn’t mind. “First take me to the one given by Sybill Trelawney in 1980 and we can grab the other one after that” Harry requested, wondering what the Prophecy entailed.

“Of course” The Unspeakable answered and started to lead the duo, and soon, the trio finally arrived in front of the Prophecy that altered the fate of Wizarding Britain in more ways than one. Harry stared at the orb with an incomprehensive feeling welling inside him… This was the elusive Prophecy that changed his life.

Dark Lord

And (?) Harry Potter

“Why the question mark?” Harry asked as he turned toward the Unspeakable.

“The Prophecy could have been referred to someone else, but the Dark Lord, in this case, You-Know-Who chose to go after you” The man explained easily and Harry nodded his head in understanding before he decided to ask the next question.

“My name is not Harry Potter, it is Hadrian Potter, so why does it say, Harry Potter?” Harry asked as he inclined his head in confusion.

“I am not sure, but I think both Dumbledore and You-Know-Who were unaware of your real name when the Prophecy was given and You-Know-Who attacked you” The man answered while rubbing his chin. Harry seemed to ponder the man’s words before nodding his head in understanding. What the man said made sense…

“I was wondering if we could listen to this one. It might give us something to use against the Dark Lord” Saul requested all of a sudden, but Harry was already planning to reveal the contents of this Prophecy to some of his closest aides. They might be able to come up with something…

“Sure” Harry agreed with a smile and grabbed the orb from the shelf. “Now, the other Prophecy please” Harry requested with a smile. Even though he was planning to reveal this Prophecy to the others, he wasn’t planning to reveal the other Prophecy to anyone except for his Mom. After all, he needed to know what it entailed in the first place.

The Unspeakable simply started to lead them toward the other Prophecy and it didn’t take them long to arrive in front of the other one…

S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D

Harry Potter

|Well, that is kind of simple| Harry frowned internally… This was the second Prophecy given to Albus Dumbledore by Sybill Trelawney referring to him. He was wondering if someone was up there who hated him or wanted to see him shafted. Maybe this was why Dumbledore didn’t want him to win… Well, he would know more after listening to it.

So, without wasting any time, he simply grabbed the Prophecy orb from the shelf, but then all of a sudden, his eyebrow started to twitch in irritation…
