Re: Padma/Parvati
Parvati wanted to believe her sister. It would have been therapeutic, but the truth was that she could never be sure. No one could. "I know that, but that was the reason why we wanted all future ministers to be briefed. The DoM kept the prophecies and they would have been responsible. The problem is that even if they did, you can never know if knowing about the prophecy influenced their actions."
She sighed again, as she let go. "The hug does make me feel better," she said with a tiny smile. Padma couldn't give her assurances, but her support always helped. "But yes, it's why I despise telling people about real prophecies, big ones. You never know what causes what. The ones about spilled coffee-." She shrugged. "Even if people mess things up, at worse there's spilled coffee."
She squeezed Padma's hand. "So what do we do now? More importantly how do we manage to make this government run when Harry is in charge? Bless him, he'll never back down from a fight, but minister? What's everyone thinking?"
