"If you look at Trelawney's second prophecy
...
The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers.
His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before
midnight
the servant will break free and set out (set out) to rejoin
his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid,
greater and more terrible than ever he was. Tonight
before midnight
the servant
will set out
to rejoin
his master
"
...
Why all the breaks in the last sentence?"

Hi Snow,
I assumed the breaks were just dramatic effect, repetition of key
point, breaking up the sentence to emphasise that this message is
coming from far
far
away

ouuuuuut
And for the first prophecy...
I said it before but the logic and grammar are only correct for two
people /personae /entities in the prophecy. For three it just
doesn't work! (The post is 108241).
Meidbh :-)
