To the one who now calls himself Harry Potter:
You belong to me, and always have. This has always been your purpose. This has always been your destiny. Accept it - embrace it.
Come to me and you need never know pain or fear again. Come to me willingly, and you can end this pointless conflict now and forever. Come to me before midnight in two days' time, and no one else need die because of your cowardice. Submit to my will, and understand. It's time, Harry.
Your schoolmates' lives depend on you obeying my command.
MERLIN, that's the most irritating -
Albus. This prophecy. Harry has a ... theory, a conviction, more properly, that it means that to defeat Riddle, he's going to have to give himself up, allow Riddle to perform the ritual that will transfer his soul (what's left of it) into Harry's body.
He's got a host of excuses why we can't stop the bastard any other way, but there's no proof his method will work. If Harry's body were to ... to fail, to decay and die, after Voldemort takes up residence - well. Would that fulfill the prophecy, in your opinion?
What I mean to say is, is self-sacrifice the 'power' Riddle knows not? And is that really what Sybill meant when she said 'Neither can live while the other survives?'
Must Harry die?
