    ... something that Voldemort wants," Sirius began, and both he and Harry ignored the flinch Minerva tried to suppress at the name. Harry looked at his godfather. "What is it?" he asked. Sirius and Minerva shared a glance. "A prophecy," Minerva said bluntly. "Shortly before you were born, there was a prophecy made about You-Know-Who." Harry stared, trying to process. "What does that mean for me?" he finally asked. Sirius leaned forward. "Dumbledore believes that the prophecy links the two of you together, and that is why he came after you and your parents." Harry looked down, considering what he had just learned. Finally, after so many years, he knew why he was an orphan. He looked back up, his eyes blazing.

She convinced him to land, and the two headed over to one of the trees that surrounded the pitch, where Harry set up some basic privacy wards, before he immediately began to tell his girlfriend of his conversation with his guardians. Ginny did her best to offer comfort, but she knew that it would be a slow road. Harry had just learned the reason for his parents' deaths. She could feel his emotions and sense his thoughts, causing her to quickly sit back, giving him a slap on the shoulder. Harry James Potter, how dare you think that!
