Chapter 00
Translations of prophecies and leaving the chaos.
Albus Dumbledore sat back from his desk rubbing his eyes, he had been trying to decipher Helga Huffelpuff's last prediction. He had finally translated it- she had written it in an obscure dialect of Atlantean. One that was only used by a small tribe though the tribe was rumored to be the tribe of Merlin and any descendant of Merlin would be able to read the language automatically. However, the tribe had disappeared just before the founding of Hogwarts.
Albus knew that he had to figure out what it meant... it had been partially translated by Helga herself but only the beginning was understood and no one had thought the rest was important- that is until the first part had come to pass.
The part that had been translated was:
In the early stages of darkness
there will be two friends
from families in feud.
They will become like brothers
the bond, cemented by marriage.
Albus was sure that this referred to the friendship between James Potter and Sirius Black.... James had an older sister who had married Sirius. The Headmaster had been trying to translate the rest for at least fifteen years he had finally managed it:
To the two so close will be born children,
one will be prophesized before his birth,
the other will have power unparalleled.
The two will bring together
the power of the founders heirs,
the sorcerer, and the dragon.
In the end the dark will fall by their hands.
Albus did not understand how the power of the heirs would come together if Salazar's heir was the one bringing the darkness but he was still working on it. He felt that the sorcerer was Merlin and the dragon was King Arthur Pendragon. He hoped that the rest of the prophecy would come to pass but no one had seen Angela Potter Black for years, although Sirius had once mentioned that she had left England when she found out that she was pregnant. The Headmaster also worried that Sirius never remembered her after he got out of Azkaban... if he had Albus was certain the animagus would have gone looking for her.
It was a bright day in Nerima the sun was shining blissfully on the singing birds and the playing pets. Lovers walked in the park hand in hand. Nevertheless, in one house with a dojo outside there was a young man rethinking his life. He thought that he had everything he ever wanted. He thought he loved one of the young women in the house. He stood up and sighed then he left the house, the girl in question had become increasingly violent of late... not that he didn't blame her for being angry... but according to her he was the problem or he wasn't doing anything about it. However, he didn't know how to do anything about it. As he walked he noticed that one of the problems in his life was racing towards him at top bicycle speed... and for a girl who can walk through stone walls as if they were paper- that was fast. Nevertheless he jumped high and out of the way.
"What do you want Shan Pu?" he asked as he landed about five feet from the purple haired warrior.
"Great Grand Mother wishes to see Ranma.... Shan Pu no no why." The girl grabbed his arm, amazingly enough she did not try to hug him in any way but she had been calming down over the past year, then she started dragging him to her family's restaurant.
When they got to the place he saw the Great Grand Mother pacing worriedly around with a glowing crystal on the counter and the closed sign out front. When they entered she gave a sigh of relief.
"Ranma, I have someone from the spirit world that needs to give you a message."
"Really? Who?" Ranma walked over to the old woman and looked curiously at the ball.
"I believe that he is your real father, remember what I told you three weeks ago? Well I asked your mother and she confirmed that Genma is not your father, she used him to get you training in Martial Arts when she foresaw that you would need it. She also saw that if your life was any different then it was you wouldn't have the power to survive the coming fight. She wishes to ask your forgiveness, but is afraid that you will reject her."
"If I could forgive her the 'Man above men Seppuku pledge' I can certainly forgive her making sure I could survive. So what is the message?"
"Come and look."
Ranma looked into the ball and saw a man he had longish black hair and bright gray eyes. He was smiling and the smile only got wider when he saw the boy who looked much like himself, true Ranma had his mothers eyes and nose as well as her innocent look but you could tell that he was this man's son.
"So, you are my son... I was hoping to meet you in person but because of an accident it couldn't be. I need you to look after my godson the son of your uncle for me... If I'm not mistaken you should be turning seventeen very soon, if you aren't already. There's a prophecy that Lily, your Uncle James' wife translated. You and Harry need to work together to destroy the evil known as Voldemort."
"What did the prophecy say?"
"I don't remember but the Headmaster of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry could show you the original and Lily's translation is in my vault at Gringots, your mother should have the key. I've been trying to contact the living world for a while but Ku Lon is the first to answer. Although I think I sacred the divination teacher at Hogwarts a few times... but I could only get her to notice me when I was in my dog form and she took me for a grim. When is your birthday Ranma?"
"In a week on the 31st, Europe's Halloween."
"Well then that is a happy day and a sad day because that is when James and Lily died. I know that Voldemort is planning to attack Harry tomorrow... the students go to a village near their school usually the weekend of Halloween but this year it will be the weekend before. I need you to get to England to save Harry before then please."
"I can probably make it there by evening but not sooner- it's to far to apperate and there is no floo across the ocean. I'll see what I can do Nabiki will help me especially if I go visit Kasumi who finally got away sometime last year."
"Can't you go to the Japanese Ministry?" Sirius asked in confusion.
"Well I could if the weren't made up of old Samurai families that want nothing to do with the rest of the world."
"Just do what you can... Ku Lon could you get Angela? I wish to say goodbye to her."
"Of course. Shan Pu get Ranma's mother."
"Why he call Nodoka, Angela?" Shan Pu asked.
"Because that is her name in England now go."
"I go." Shan Pu said and left the restaurant.
"Ranma you have to tell Harry that I don't blame him for my death and he shouldn't blame himself either... I couldn't be there for him in life the least I could do was die to protect him."
"Fine." Ranma watched his father fidget.
"I wish I could have been there for you as well, but if we didn't let things happen the way they had we would all have died without any chance- now we have a chance."
"You don't have to apologize. I know my mom is a seer and she saw many futures and choose the best one for the future."
"Sirius." Nodoka/Angela walked into the restaurant. "I knew this day would come and I know I won't survive for much longer Voldemort will see to that.... But what has happened in England I could never figure out how he disappeared for so long."
"That then explains it you never saw Harry either, you only saw what we had to do to make him go away... Harry must be the next Potter seer. After all they cannot foresee each other."
"Fine then we will go to England and protect my brothers son or rather Ranma will protect him. I know I will die fighting Voldemort tomorrow."
"Mom...?"
"Yes Ranma I want to die so you will do nothing about it."
"So I should not be distracted by your death because I have foreknowledge of it, and mourn when the fight is over." Ranma said sadly. "I'm going to call Nabiki I'm sure she can get us a good deal on plane tickets after all if I leave now maybe Akane will calm down by the time I get back...."
"Or you can tell all the people that Genma got on your back to shove off since you aren't a Saotome you are a Black."
"Am I ready to give up on Akane...." Ranma thought about it for a few minutes. Consequentially flashing back to all the times she said something was his fault when it wasn't, the times she hit him for no reason, and the times she didn't believe him. "Yeah I can give up on her, I've given her hundreds more chances then she deserves and she messed them all up."
"Good for you Ranma maybe you are finally growing up. Now we need to make plans to get to the other side of the planet by this time tomorrow. Sirius I will see you in spirit world."
"Good luck." Sirius vanished from the crystal and Ranma and his mother turned to leave the restaurant.
"Ranma- I release you from the Kiss of Marriage. You have more important things to do but I hope you will come to visit in the future. And I hope one of your daughters will come be an Amazon." Ku Lon then waved good bye to them. And, they left to find Nabiki and finish all things concerning Genma Saotome.
