data/chapter/108.html-intelligent conversation. After fifty years of being surrounded by | |
data/chapter/108.html-gibbering stupidity, I no longer cared whether my reaction might be | |
data/chapter/108.html-considered a literary cliche. I was not about to pass up on that | |
data/chapter/108.html-opportunity without thinking about it first. And then, you see, I | |
data/chapter/108.html-had a <em>clever idea</em>." Professor Quirrell sighed. "It | |
data/chapter/108.html:occurred to me how I might fulfill the Prophecy my own way, to my | |
data/chapter/108.html-own benefit. I would mark the baby as my equal by casting the old | |
data/chapter/108.html-horcrux spell in such fashion as to imprint my own spirit onto the | |
data/chapter/108.html-baby's blank slate; it would be a purer copy of myself, since there | |

data/chapter/110.html-<p>"I knew," said Albus Dumbledore, his voice low and cold. "For | |
data/chapter/110.html-that, I accept responsibility, which is something you will never | |

data/chapter/86.html-feeding the wooden branches, piece by piece, into the flames.</p> | |
data/chapter/86.html-<p>"Prophecies are strange things," said Albus Dumbledore. The old | |
data/chapter/86.html-wizard's eyes were half-lidded, as though in weariness. "Vague, | |
data/chapter/86.html-unclear, meaning escaping like water held between loose fingers. | |
data/chapter/86.html:Prophecy is ever a burden, for there are no answers there, only | |
data/chapter/86.html-questions."</p> | |
data/chapter/86.html-<p>Harry Potter was sitting tensely. "Headmaster Dumbledore," said | |
data/chapter/86.html-the boy with soft precision, "my friends are being targeted. | |

data/chapter/86.html-<p>Harry's eyes dropped back to the parchment in his lap. "Let's | |
data/chapter/86.html:move on. Are we <em>certain</em> that this Prophecy is accurate? | |
data/chapter/86.html-Nobody messed with Professor McGonagall's memory, maybe edited or | |

data/chapter/86.html-<p>Albus paused, then spoke slowly. "There is a great spell laid | |

data/chapter/86.html-beneath the Most Ancient Hall of the Wizengamot, in the Department | |
data/chapter/86.html-of Mysteries, they are recorded."</p> | |
data/chapter/86.html:<p>"The Hall of Prophecy," Minerva whispered. She'd read about that | |
data/chapter/86.html-place, said to be a great room of shelves filled with glowing orbs, | |
data/chapter/86.html-one after another appearing over the years. Merlin himself had | |
data/chapter/86.html-wrought it, it was said; the greatest wizard's final slap to the | |
data/chapter/86.html-face of Fate. Not all prophecies conduced to the good; and Merlin | |
data/chapter/86.html-had wished for at least those spoken of in prophecy, to know what | |

data/chapter/86.html-wonder (now that she'd spent a few months around Mr. Potter) how | |
data/chapter/86.html-anyone could possibly <em>know</em> that; but she also knew better | |
data/chapter/86.html-than to ask Albus, in case Albus tried to tell her. Minerva firmly | |
data/chapter/86.html-believed that you only ought to worry about Time if you were a | |
data/chapter/86.html-clock.</p> | |
data/chapter/86.html:<p>"The Hall of Prophecy," Albus confirmed lowly. "Those who are | |
data/chapter/86.html-spoken of in a prophecy, may listen to that prophecy there. Do you | |
data/chapter/86.html-see the implication, Harry?"</p> | |
data/chapter/86.html-<p>Harry frowned. "Well, I could listen to it, or the Dark Lord... | |
data/chapter/86.html-oh, my <em>parents</em>. Those who had thrice defied him. They were | |
data/chapter/86.html-also mentioned in the prophecy, so they could hear the | |
-- | |

data/chapter/86.html-of the Dark Lord being stupid... but maybe not 100:1. You couldn't | |
data/chapter/86.html-actually say that 'The Dark Lord instantly wins' had a probability | |
data/chapter/86.html-of <em>more</em> than 99 percent, assuming the Dark Lord started | |
data/chapter/86.html-out smart; the sum over all possible excuses would be more than | |
