Yes you can. Suppose there were 2 laws on nature:

1) If Voldemort lives much longer he will kill Harry.

2) The only thing that might be able to kill Voldemort is Harry.

Put these two together and you have the famous prophecy, that is, in
the near future one or both of the two will be dead, it's imposable
for both to survive. Harry can choose to kill Voldemort and live or
not kill him and die, it's up to Harry.
