What if? Harry Potter 3

What if the prophecy was never over heard?


"... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
   Dumbledore turned around slowly and stared at Trelawney. She seemed to have come out of her trance and had returned to normal.
   "Am I to believe, that you do not wish for me to teach?" she said, looking at Dumbledore, standing there with a shocked expression. She had a sad look in her eyes.
   "On the contrary, my dear, I would be delighted to assign you the post of Divination teacher!"
   "Oh thank you, Professor! When would you like me to start?"
   "Whenever you are ready, now if you don't mind I must leave now.  As I have some important business to attend to," with that he bowed and left the room. When he was back inside his office at Hogwarts, Dumbledore wrote to the Minister of Magic and told him of the prophecy.
   Back in Hogsmade, Sybill left the Hogs Head and walked away, with a slight skip in her step. In her happiness she hardly noticed a young man, with greasy black hair, rush past her towards the Hogs Head and almost knock her over.
