The First Potter Prophecy is a **True Prophecy** delivered by Cassandra Trelawney to Nathaniel Potter on 31 July 1780, foretelling the end of the entire world should a Potter become the Prince of Slytherin. It was also Witnessed by Armand Zabini (ancestor of Serena and Blaise), and thus is a closely-guarded secret by the Zabini family.

On 31 October 1780, Nathaniel and Cassandra performed a ritual that was meant to stave off the Prophecy's fulfillment for as long as possible.

### **Potter Oath**

The Potter Oath is a highly restrictive (close to Unbreakable) Oath all Potters must swear prior to be granted knowledge of the Prophecy's existence. It was created by Cassandra and Nathaniel sometime in 1780, in order for the Prophecy's knowledge/existence to be passed to Hardwin, so he may pass it to his Heir, etc.

## **The Second Potter Prophecy**

The Second Potter Prophecy is a True Prophecy delivered by Sybill Trelawney to Albus Dumbledore sometime in 1980. The setting in which it was delivered is not known, but, did result in Sybill being made the Divination Professor at Hogwarts, much to her chagrin.

>

>
>
> Though blameless he may be, his actions shall be
> as the beating of the butterfly's wings
> as they herald the arrival of the Oncoming Storm.
>
>
> By his choices shall the greatest of Rex Novergicus' servants
> be freed and the circle forged anew.
>
>
> He-Who-Remains will be reborn in all his terrible glory.
>
>
> And so shall the Four Heralds of Apotheosis -
> Betrayal. Blood. Terror. Destruction.
>
>
> And finally, the Cold Flame that shall pour forth from the Endless Abyss to consume us all.
>
>
>
> Until at last, Fate's Final Question is asked, and Death's Ultimate Decision is made.
