'I'll bet you wish you hadn't given up Divination now, don't you, Hermione?' asked Parvati, smirking.
It was breakfast time, two days after the sacking of Professor Trelawney, and Parvati was curling her eyelashes around her wand and examining the effect in the back of her spoon. They were to have their first lesson with Firenze that morning.
'Not really,' said Hermione indifferently, who was reading the Daily Prophet. 'I've never really liked horses.'
She turned a page of the newspaper and scanned its columns.
'He's not a horse, he's a centaur!' said Lavender, sounding shocked.
'A gorgeous centaur . . .' sighed Parvati.
'Either way, he's still got four legs,' said Hermione coolly. 'Anyway, I thought you two were all upset that Trelawney had gone?'
'We are!' Lavender assured her. 'We went up to her office to see Ler; we took her some daffodils - not the honking ones that Sprout's got, nice ones.'
"I bet she loved them." Alula her eyes. "Meaning 'new birth' and all."
'How is she?' asked Harry.
'Not very good, poor thing,' said Lavender sympathetically. 'She was crying and saying she'd rather leave the castle forever than stay here where Umbridge is, and I don't blame her, Umbridge was horrible to her, wasn't she?'
'I've got a feeling Umbridge has only just started being horrible,' said Hermione darkly.
'Impossible,' said Ron, who was tucking into a large plate of eggs and bacon. 'She can't get any worse than she's been already.'
'You mark my words, she's going to want revenge on Dumbledore for appointing a new teacher without consulting her,' said Hermione, closing the newspaper. 'Especially another part-human. You saw the look on her face when she saw Firenze.'
"Vile woman," Alula whispered, looking up where the pink toad sat at the teacher's table.
After breakfast Hermione departed for her Arithmancy class as Harry, Alula and Ron followed Parvati and Lavender into the Entrance Hall, heading for Divination.
'Aren't we going up to North Tower?' asked Ron, looking puzzled, as Parvati bypassed the marble staircase.
Parvati looked at him scornfully over her shoulder.
'How d'you expect Firenze to climb that ladder? We're in classroom eleven now, it was on the noticeboard yesterday.'
"You're literally one of the only people supposed to look at the noticeboard. You're a Prefect." Alula reminded him.
