You had it in front of you all this time!

-Do you want me to ask Professor Trelawney if there is any way to evade or break a prophecy? -Luna repeated the query Soisen had asked her just a minute ago.

-Please.

In no other way, she wasn't afraid of facing a clean fist against a dragon or dueling Voldemort, but Trelanwey was a walking danger that you didn't know when she'd shoot you in the foot.

What if when he goes to see her he suddenly makes a prophecy that prevents him from acting in any way according to his own wishes?

Or worse, what if he predicts the death of a loved one inevitably and makes it a fact?

Because in the latter case, Trelanwey should run and hide in the ends of the Earth, because Soisen won't take it well at all.

If he already got that way with Rada's death, imagine what he would do if Trelanwey is the "cause" of the death of his family, friends or girlfriend.

Ever since he got the Marauder's Map, the main use has been none other than to avoid this Divination teacher as much as possible!

And even the few occasions when she had to be around, she employed a highly realistic illusion to fool everyone.

You can't read the fate of an illusion.

That's why he needed someone who could pose the question instead, but out of all the people he knew, only Luna seemed to be immune to this kind of event either by fate itself or by the way she was, he wasn't sure of the exact reason.

And it was only for this assurance that he dared to ask her.

-All right," Luna nodded and went to the Astrology Tower directly after finishing the Herbology homework she had in hand.

...Half an hour later...

Soisen was reviewing a Potions tome: Thirty Uses of Kappa Gills, when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

-You can't -Luna sat down in front of him and looked at him for a minute in silence, as if to make the point clear and allow her mind to absorb the idea, before repeating in more detail -It can't be avoided or broken, it will be fulfilled though perhaps not in the way people may believe.

-That's not what I wished to hear -sighed as he looked up from the tome and rubbed his forehead with his right hand.

As for the part about how people believe it will happen, I already knew that and was really just punching the air, hoping there would be some useful discrepancy in between.

But it looks like he can just stick to his original plans.

-Do you want me to say what you want to hear? -Luna asked after a moment's reflection.

-No, I need to hear the truth, as much as I dislike it," Soisen denied at Luna's kind offer to grant her wish, "Would you like a brownie? My moms sent me more.

A manageable amount this time, no one will end up in the infirmary.

-Yes, thank you. I'll send it to dad," Luna took the wrapped treat in her hands, "He really liked the last ones I gave him and wondered where to get more. How come you sell so many things, but no brownies?

The question blew Soisen's mind, metaphorically.

How could he not think of selling the delicious brownies created from the family recipe!

Everyone loves brownies and he never thought of marketing them.

She looks back at the money she could have made and feels like crying.

-I guess I never thought about it," Soisen told him as he rubbed his face in frustration and looked back at him with new determination. When the business is open again, I'll open a brownie store and as a thank you for the reminder, I'll give you a free brownie coupon for life.

-Great! -Luna clapped her hands enthusiastically when she heard the pleasant surprise, "Can I order you a brownie house?

Soisen stared at her, unsure if she meant it this time or if she was teasing him like the previous times. For some reason unknown to him, Luna liked to tease him at the most unexpected times, but he meant it like he meant it and was never able to tell when he was joking.

A house made entirely and from top to bottom of brownies?

Are you a distant relative of Toriko?

-...We'll talk about the scope of the coupon later, I still need to see how I'll set up the store," Soisen had a feeling that it would be very wise to put definite and clear limits on Luna Lovegood's "lifetime supply of brownies".

-That was fine with me," Luna nodded and after watching Ginny pass nearby, joined her for the next Charms lesson.

A tired sigh escaped Soisen's mouth.

Sometimes he felt that his movements were simply unnecessary, just let the plot run and it would all be over. It's not happy for everyone, but Voldemort won't win and everyone will move on with their lives.

Too bad his memories will already cause a butterfly effect just by his presence, so if there are going to be changes, they better be in his favor rather than Voldemort's or Potter's.

Frankly, he has no idea how the last two years before the climax will play out, his forgery of the Vanishing Wardrobe may seem silly, but it affects a crucial point in the unfolding of events.

Wouldn't it be great if just Voldemort decides to come and the destined duel happens once and for all?

If Potter wins, we're spared a dark period and if Voldemort wins, he can finally make a move to finish him off.

Oh, right, the Horcruxes. He wasn't clear if Dumbledore had made his move and started destroying the rest. He knows that originally Potter and company would do it during their time as "heroic deserters," but without Hermione among them?

His chances drop to negative numbers.
