A/N: This chapter is going to be small as I  have no ideas  what  to write but I have to. I  promise the chapter will be small, but interesting. Also read the note at the end. It is very important. Also, stay tuned for my new crossover coming up later this week!!!

Anyways, on with the story,

••••••••••••••••••

I paced around in the common room. Ginny and Ron were sitting in front of me, both looking extremely livid. That creepy Nico kid was in Gryffindor. Looking at him, we all thought he would be in Slytherin. Wearing all black clothes. But nevertheless, I could see Percy was happy and he trusted Nico so I was happy enough. I could also tell my pacing was ticking Ginny off. But I couldn't help it.

After Malfoy collapsed in the great hall, there was chaos. There was an outburst of questions. People kept accusing Nico as when the house shouted GRYFFINDOR, Malfoy collapsed. It was creepy.

Professor McGonagall called Nico, Percy and Harry to her office while we waited here. Doing nothing. Honestly, it was so unfair.

"I am going to the library." I said, abruptly. "I can't just sit here doing nothing while those three are off doing hero work."

"Well you weren't exactly sitting..." Ron said but trailed off when I gave him my scariest glare. I scurried off to the library, grabbing my cloak and shrugging it on.

"Madam Pince!" I breathed out, putting my hands on my knees. "Can I please have the keys to the restricted section? You know I won't do anything not written in the rules."

Madam Pince looked up and smiled. A true, genuine smile no one had given me in quite a few days. "I trust you Miss Granger." She said. "I know it is required for a teacher to write you a note giving you permission, but I don't need one for you." My heart swelled with pride. "Here." She said, giving me the key.

I took the key and thanked her. Rushing off to the back of the library, where the restricted section was, I put the key inside the lock. I paused and took a deep breath. Knowing I couldn't go back once I took this mission, I turned the lock as the door creaked open.

 °°°•••°°°

I sat down on one of the chairs, tired, frustrated and we'll, tired... I had been looking for almost half an hour and still not found a single book on what I was looking for.

Just as I was about to head back to the common room,  a huge book with golden engravings caught my eyes. It was a hard cover bound book. The golden words seemed to glow on the dull green colour. The picture in the front was hideous. It looked like a kid from the Disney Hercules movie. The kid had yellow skin. And he was eating a lightning bolt. But that wasn't what caught my eye,  it was the title.

GREEK MYTHS AND MONSTER

That night when I got back to the common room, Ginny had dosed off, her head on Ron's shoulder. Not long after, the three, Nico, Harry and Percy got back, looking extremely worried.

We asked them what was wrong but the waved us and went to bed claiming they were tired. "We will tell you guys later, we're tired." Percy said.

Ron opened his mouth to protest but I shushed him because they actually did look very tired. Ron had gotten up so abruptly that Ginny's head hit the sofa.

"Ouch Ronald I trusted you." Ginny screeched. Ron turned so red I started laughing. Holding Ginny by the elbow, we both went back to dorm, laughing and leaving Ron using some not-so-good words  for swearing under his breath.

That night  I stayed up late reading the book. I read the whole book and I knew for sure what the prophecy said. I thought of telling Percy and others but I didn't want to worry them. Here I was, sitting at the table for breakfast. I didn't realise I was biting my nails  until Ron said, "Oi Hermione, stop  biting your nails."

As if in a daze, I nodded. Getting up, I got out of the hall only to bump in Professor Trelawny. She regarded  me with her usual misty eyes and suddenly her eyes  turned green.

"Two Children of the Big Three

The Ghost King and the Prince of Sea

Go across the sea in the land of magic

Dodging the breeze; preventing the tragic

Fighting the darkness ; saving the brightness

Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus"

She recited the prophecy, hacking and coughing in the middle.  Very much creeped out, I ran to the Hospital Wing, knowing  Percy will be there. And I wasn't wrong, he was sitting there, beside  Professor Jackson with Nico.

"Percy, what did Professor McGonagall say last night?" I asked in a rushed tone.

He looked startled before replying, "Nothing, she just said to prepare for a war." Nico intervened saying, "Though we still have no clue why the Prophecy had your school motto on it."

"I tried to figure it out and what I found  was not so good." I said in a hushed whisper. "Besides our Divination teacher , Trelawny also recited the prophecy." Nico snorted  at her name.

"What did you find out, Hermione?" Percy asked. However , before I could reply, Harry and Neville  came in, carrying someone. Harry looked more worried than usual.

"Who is it Harry?" I asked. He whispered something so softy I thought I thought it. But I didn't,  because I could recognise that  red hair anywhere. Ginny came in, running. "Ron" she whispered.

After we all got back to the common room, Percy asked me the same question again, "What did you find out, Hermione?"

"I know who the Person in the prophecy is." I said. "And he is not so good." Percy's eyes asked me a silent question, who?  I whispered the answer.

Erebus
