11 Prophecy

Crimson walked quickly to the back of the library where the restricted section was and turned left going all the way down.

"Hermione hurry up I want to get out of here."

"Okay just give me a , ah-ha found it aaaaaaaand got it."

"Blimey that really was quick."

"You sound like Ronald now lets go."

"Right, you go first and Ill follow.'

Crimson waited for Hermione to leave when Crimson felt a pull on her robes, turning and looking around she saw no one in fact the library was completely empty.

"Hermione?"

No answer, this didn't seem right this was not normal.

"Alright Hermione good joke, time to come out."

Still no answer.

"Madame Prince, hello? Anyone?"

The library was abandoned so Crimson left to look for someone, look for some answers. She quickly left the library, no one was out in the corridors. Crimson became panicked and started to look for someone, anyone, anywhere. No one in the great hall, no one outside, no one in the common room. She was alone and had no idea why.

"Crimson"

A voice called out to her, it sounded like some one was crying. Crimson ran down from her room to the Ravenclaw common room. There on a table in the middle of the room sat her necklace and the book from her dream.

"Crimson wake up..."

There it was again.

"Wake up!? What do you mean? What does any of this mean?"

Then silence, there was nothing so, in frustration Crimson went to the table where her necklace and the book sat. This time she could read the book, she went and found the book with the necklace. There was nothing about the necklace on the page so she went back to the beggining only then noticing the cover of the book read 'The Gaunt Family'. This entire book was about her family but, how did it get here? How did she get here?

"Crimson, wake up I need you, wake up I need you..."

The voice came back. Crimson realized that she wasn't in the real world. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard, envisioning Cedric, Viktor, Hermione, Harry, Ron and even Draco. She felt a pull on her robes again and opened her eyes. There was Cedric sitting in a chair by her bed holding onto her hand for dear life.

"Urgghhh, what happened?"

Cedric whipped up his head and smiled at the girl.

"Shhh, you are okay. You collapsed in the library a few weeks ago and you've been here in the sick wing since."

Crimson just shook her head. Then it all clicked.

"A FEW WEEKS. Merlins beard what did I miss? Did I miss the ball? What day is it? Where is Hermione?"

"Woah slow down Crim. Everything fine you didn't miss anything, Im more worried about you. What the bloody hell happened?"

"What do you mean what happened? I fainted."

"Yes but this was unusual. You stopped breathing and moving, it was like you were paralyzed, like you were dead"

"WHAT!"

"Madame Pomfrey said it would only be a few hours but then hours turned into days and days turned into weeks. Even Dumbledore was worried."

"Dumble... thats it I need to see Dumbledore!"

Crimson rushed out of the bed and to the Headmasters office. She didn't even bother to knock.

"Professor, you know what happened to me don't you?"

"Well hello to you too but, yes I do."

"What, why did that happen to me?"

"Its your ancestors reaching out to you for help. You need to fulfill the prophecy."

"Prophecy? What prophecy?"

"I suggest you go get that book from Ms. Granger and find out."

"Thank you sir."

Crimson rushed out of the office and to the Gryffindor common room where she luckily found Ron being carried by a few girls.

"Blimey what happened to you."

"He asked Fluer to the Ball."

"Well more like screamed at her."

"And she said no?"

Ron shook his head.

"She said yes!?"

"Oh don't be silly, of course she said no. It just kinda came out. I was standing there and she just walked by, Harry you know I love the way they walk and well she laughed at my face and walked away."

"Bloody hell Ron you really aren't one for the ladies are you?"

Everyone turned to Crimson and laughed. Then shocked filled their faces.

"Crimson, merlins beard! Are you alright? When you never came out I got worried and then there you were on the floor having a seize of sorts."

"Im fine now, I actually came here to get that book, Dumbledore said it would explain somethings. If you would like to join me Hermione you're more than welcome."

"I think I will, the boys could use some man time to mule over their failures."

"Uhm Hermione. Harry left me."

Hermione looked at Crimson apologetically.

"You know Hermione thats fine hell just have to come with us."

"Are you going to tell him?"

"He's going to find out sooner or later so might as well, yes?"

"I suppose so. Let me grab the book and we can go to your room yes?"

"Alright then be quick, Ron were going to my dorm so be ready."

"Why can't we stay here?"

"To many prying eyes."

Ten minutes later Hermione came down and then followed Crimson and Ron to the Ravenclaw common room and to Crimsons room.

"You have a room to yourself?"

"Yes Ronald, every sixth and seventh year gets one if they chose to which most don't but I don't have many friends in this house so I did."

"Thats bloody brilliant."

"Yes it is now Hermione the book."

"Yes here it is."

Hermione handed Crimson the book and sure enough it was the book from her dreams. Crimsons face stretched with a smile.

"Thats what were here for. A bloody book?!"

"This isn't just a book Ronald this is my families history, my real family."

"But that says Gaunt. There no bloody way that YOU are the famous lost Gaunt. That would make you more famous than Harry and thats just rude."

"Rude?! You think I chose this? I didn't Ron and Ill prove it to you."

Crimson didn't even bother to get all the way down to her shirt before she grew her wings.

"BLOODY HELL WHATRE THOSE?!"

"Wings Ronald they're wings."

"I see that but, wait why aren't you freaked out by this Hermione?"

"Ive seen them already."

"Oh great, bloody fantastic."

"Now hush Ive got to read and if you want Hermione can explain more."

As Hermione started to explain everything to Ron, Crimson, took in every detail of the book as if this were the only time she would see it. She then began to read, she read through every passage and took in every word. In the third excerpt she came across something about a prophecy. One that would rival the one about the deathly hallows, Grindlevauld or even Harry's. It spoke of a powerful with lost but then found by only herself who took her name of the Gaunt family and because the greatest witch known in this century. This which would overcome death, heartbreak, and the ministry its self. Then and only then could muggles and the magic community live together in peace. Crimson looked up from the book, all color drained from her face, the light in her eyes dimmed. She almost looked like a ghost.

"Crim what is is?"

Hermione took the book from her hands and read about the prophecy.

"Oh my merlin..."

"What Hermione?"

Hermione handed Ron the book and pointed at the paragraph and then turned and stared at a ghostly Crimson.

"Bloody..."

"Hell, I know. I didn't think the prophecy was that serious when Dumbledore told me there even was one. I... I can't... I just can't do this, its too much. Im just a girl, a no body, Im just another witch."

"No Crim your wrong. You are one of the greatest witches I know and you can do this. We'll help you. Ron, me, Harry, Cedric, everyone or at least once you tell them. "

"Hermione's right you're our friend and we help our friends."

Crimson knew they were right but, she knew she couldn't focus on that now she had to focus on the tournament and the ball tomorrow.

"Oh my merlin, the ball its tomorrow. I forgot. Oh Krum he must think Ive ditched him."

"Actually not at all, he came to see you every day although him and Cedric almost bloodied eatchother up the other day. It was weird."

"Oh Cedric too, I totally left him at the sick hall and didn't say anything but scream at him. Im an awful person."

"Crim look its okay, just know you have to be down stairs infant of the great hall by six-thirty sharp for the Champions dance."

"Thank you Hermione you're the best. You too Ron you both have helped me so much. I best be off to bed now. Ill see you two tomorrow night. Oh Hermione, you, Ginny, and whomever else can come get ready her if you like."

"Sounds great Ill let you know at breakfast."

Hermione and Ron left Crimson. She then got ready for bed. What a crazy day theres no way it could get worse. Right?
