《Elegance | Harry Potter》Year 5-14 | Prophecy
Advertisement
Beyond the door was a large room with many shelves. On those shelves were countless Crystal balls with different labels on them. The whole time Harry did not let go of my hand, he held it tightly as he examined the room closely. It was dark, without the usage of the lumos spell it would be impossible to see anything. Behind us the door we had come from started moving revealing the other half of the room also filled with countless prophecies.
"Stay by my side" Harry turned towards me to which I nodded. He started rushing somewhere past the shelves counting the number on them pulling me with him.
"92, 93, 94, 95.." He stopped just after the shelf labeled 95 examining the empty place. His breath was uneasy and he was looking around frantically.
"He should be here" He said turning to face the others. Sirius Black was no where to be found, this was a trap. You-know-who wanted Harry to see Sirius getting tortured. He knew Harry would come even if it were a trap.
"Harry, this one's got your name on it" Neville called out staring at a small crystal orb containing a prophecy that shined a little brighter than the others. Harry quickly rushed over letting go of my hand and picked up the ball carefully.
"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"
We all looked at each other with our breaths shaky. The prophecy was talking about Harry and you-know-who, one must die at the end.
"Harry!" Hermione called out looking into the dark hallway of shelves. At the end of her gaze a man approached us wearing a mask. Harry quickly walked over to Hermione standing in front of me. I took out my wand from my pocket and raised it, the grip on my hand tightening as the man's footsteps echoed through the room.
"Where's Sirius?" Harry asked raising his wand at him.
"You know you should be able to tell the difference between dreams..." He paused whipping out his wand. With a quick stroke the mask disappeared into a black mist revealing Lucius Malfoy. "...And reality. You saw only what the dark lord wanted you to see. Now hand me the prophecy"
"If you do anything to us I'll break it"

A loud cackling sound echoed through the room as a woman approached us from behind Lucius.
"He knows how to play! Itty, bitty, baby.. Potter"
"Bellatrix Lestrange" Neville's hand clenched tightly around his wand. From all around us more death eaters slowly approached us.
"Neville Longbottom is it? How's mom and dad?"
"Better now that they're about to be avenged" Neville said pointing his wand at her. I quickly held him back as Bellatrix too raised her wand. We should act more carefully, they're death eaters compared to us students.
"Let's.. Everybody just calm down" Another woman approached us from behind Lucius. I would never forget that voice, it was my mother.
"Apolline" I gritted my teeth clenching on to my wand tighter.
"Hello darling" She smiled at me slowly speaking in French.
"All we want, is that prophecy" Lucius said gesturing towards the crystal ball.
"Why did Voldemort need me to come and get this?" Harry responded.
"You dare speak his name?" Bellatrix whispered furrowing her eyebrows, "YOU FILTHY HALF-BLOOD"
"It's alright he's just a curious lad aren't you?" Apolline said, her voice making my blood boil.
"Prophecies can only be achieved by those about whom they are made. Which is lucky for you really" Lucius said as the death eaters got closer to us from all sides surrounding us.
"Haven't you always wondered.. What was the reason for the connection between you and the dark lord? Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant? Don't you want to know the secret of your scar?" Lucius, Bellatrix and Apolline were now an arms reach away from us. My wand was pointed straight at Apolline who only smiled at me.
"All answers are there, in your hand. All you have to do.. Is give it to me. I can show you everything"
My heart was beating out of my chest again. I grabbed Harry's jacket sleeve tightly not withdrawing my wand.
"I waited 14 years" Harry said turning to face me.
"I know" Lucius replied furrowing his eyebrows as if he were talking to a baby.
"Guess I can wait a little longer.. NOW!" Harry snapped his head back at Lucius.
"STUPEFY!" We all casted the spell at the death eaters. Harry casted it at Lucius, Neville at Bellatrix and I casted it at Apolline. The others casted the spells on the nearest death eater hitting some while others were quick enough to protect themselves.
We quickly ran the other way following Harry. When we turned a corner a cloud of black mist flew down taking the form of Lucius reaching his arm out at Harry. In panic, we all got separated into groups. I stayed with Harry all the time running closely behind him.

"STUPEFY!" I casted a spell at a death eater standing in front of us. The death eater was quick to fly away into a cloud of dark mist dodging the spell. Nonetheless Harry and I continued to run. From beside me Apolline flew right with us, half of her body still being a dark cloud of mist, smiling at me. She grabbed onto my arm making me lose balance falling.
"STUPEFY!" Harry quickly casted the spell hitting her directly making her go flying backwards. I grabbed onto his arm as he helped me up and continued to run until we all ran into each other meeting back again. From the other end of the hallway of shelves more clouds of dark mist approached us.
"REDUCTO!" Ginny and I pointed out wands at the cloud sending a large amount of light towards their direction. As the light cleared away the crystal balls started to fall on the ground along with the shelves. We all started to back away watching all the crystal balls fall onto the ground.
"Get back to the door!" Harry yelled as the crystal balls continued to fall close behind us. I had never ran faster in my life, the real fear of death rushed over me. As the Crystal balls fell little pieces of glass fell onto us creating very minor injuries. I felt a cut on my face but it didn't even hurt at all, the Adrenaline rush covered it all.
Harry quickly opened the door and jumped in as the rest of us followed just as the shelves fully collapsed. The door we had just entered didn't lead back out to the ministry but instead into a deep hole. Just as we were about to hit the ground our bodies levitated hovering over the ground before dropping. We were all groaning and whimpering pulling ourselves back up to our feet.
"Department of the mysteries, got that bit right" Ron said helping me up. In the middle of the room was a large archway with some sort of white smoke in the middle. From it I could hear voices, slight whispers even.
"Voices.. Can you tell what they're saying?" Harry asked slowly approaching the archway.
"There aren't any voices Harry. Let's get out of here" Hermione said as we all approached the archway behind Harry.
"I hear them too" I whispered looking up at it.
"Me too" Luna said.
"Harry, it's just an empty archway. Please Harry" Hermione said following us.
"Get behind me!" Harry shouted pointing his wand at the air. We all rushed over behind him pointing our wands at the same place but nothing was there. Suddenly from the sky multiple clouds of dark mist flew down attacking us. I felt my wand get knocked out of my hand and something grabbing me tightly. I struggled against it swinging my arms but got pulled away.
Next thing I know everyone the room with a death eater grabbing each of us except Harry. Apolline had her arm around my neck with a wand pointed at me besides Lucius and directly in front of Harry. I let out soft whimpers struggling against her feeling disgusted to feel her skin on mine. Harry looked around the room and then at me. I quickly stopped the struggling and looked away.
From beside Apolline and I, Lucius walked up towards Harry laughing coldly. Apolline dragged me up towards Harry besides Lucius smiling at him.
"Did you actually believe that we were truly naive enough to think children stood a chance against us?" Lucius said walking around Harry. Apolline pulled me up closer directly in front of Harry with her wand directly on my neck.
"I'll make this.. Simple for you Potter. Give me the prophecy now, or watch your friends die starting with our friend Evelyn here" Lucius said holding his hand out to Harry. I closed my eyes feeling my body shake. This was the exact thing I feared. I had prepared myself for anything for today, even death.
"Don't give it to him Harry" I said taking a deep breath opening my eyes again.
"Crucio!" Apolline gritted her teeth pointing her wand at me. I felt indescribable pain, I felt every single nerve burn. It felt like my bone was on fire, the blood in my body trying to rip out of my veins, thousand knives stabbing me, my muscles tangling with each other. I tried not to make a sound but blood curling screams would escape my mouth in bits. I felt my legs loosen and fell on my knees only to be pulled back up by Apolline roughly.
"STOP, STOP" Harry quickly yelled. The pain quickly disappeared and I let out a deep breath. I tried to catch my breath when my eyes met Harry's. I was shaking and my breath were uneasy, the pain was so traumatizing.
"Looks like he has a soft spot for you" Apolline whispered into my ear in French. I held my eye contact with Harry shaking my head mounting 'no' over and over again. He looked away with his shaky breaths and slowly placed the crystal ball on to Lucius's hand. Lucius held it up examining it proudly when a sudden white light shined. From behind Lucius, Sirius Black appeared.
"Get away from my godson and future daughter in law" Sirius muttered punching Lucius.

LiMB is a work of fiction inspired by webnovels such as "Re:Zero - Starting life in another world" and visual novels such as "Fate/Stay night" or "Sengoku Rance". Not unlike a visual novel LiMB has two main routes branching out from the the first chapter, with additional routes being added as the story progresses. There are also "ending routes", spinoffs or dead-ends that still need to be told. There is no recommended reading order, although a chapter in one path may shed light on another. When a choice appears in a chapter that choice will be branded as (R1), (R2) or (SR) for a special offshot ending. I hope you will enjoy this, more art will be added along the way // grunt
