RIDDLE

4

I woke up the next day and got ready for my first day at Hogwarts. God knows how I am going to find my way to class. It's such a big school! Thankfully professor McGonagall gave me a map of Hogwarts with my schedule after breakfast.

I caught up with Harry, Ron and Hermione to compare our schedule. Me, Harry and Ron had our first lesson together except Hermione. Instead, she had two lessons at the same time. How could that be possible?

We started to ascend the spiral staircase towards the divination class, just then I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Riddle," yelled Malfoy and ran up towards me. "Oh, Potty's here,"

"It's Potter, Malfoy," said Harry.

"I see you're Enjoying yourself riddle?" Draco said while smirking.

"Step away from her." Said Harry, coming in between me and the blonde.

"Ooooooooh, Potty's got a girlfriend."

"We are NOT together." I say with a firm voice.

"Whatever. I don't think we've introduced ourselves properly. Let me do the honors, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and you must be Y/N Riddle. The daughter of the dark lord. So, it's true I see, the rumors." Said Draco with a satisfied look on his face. It's like this bish intentionally wanted to piss me off.

"Why the sudden change of heart Malfoy? Yesterday you threatened to kill me. What happened? Scared? Scared that I'll resurrect daddy and order him to kill you. Or did you just happen to fall for my charm. Anyhooo, I've got better things to do than talking to you...we gotta go. Have fun with Pugface Pugkinson. Heard she has a major crush on you.... more like obsessed." I said with confidence and turned around flipping my hair on the blonde's face.

"That was brilliant Y/N! You really roasted the shit out of him." said the boy with the lightning bolt scar with a surprised look on his face.

"Yeah, that was bloody terrific! You gotta teach me how to do that." Joked Ron.

"Shore." I laughed

We entered the Divination classroom. It had red curtains and round tables. Each table had a crystal ball on it. The smell was weird and almost worrying. We sat down at the first table we saw.

The others settled down and a strange looking lady entered the classroom. She had frizzy hair and big round glasses. She sat in a red-coloured velvet chair which was kept in front of the room.

"Welcome, my children," she said in a deep and hushed voice. "In this room you shall explore the noble art of divination. In this room, you shall discover if you possess the Sight." She got up and bumped into the table in front of her. A soft chuckle could be heard from the others. "Hello, I am professor Trelawney. Together, we shall cast ourselves into the future!" she exclaimed with her hands raised.

"This term," she continued, rather more excited than any of us in the room "We shall be focusing on Tasseomancy, which is the art of reading tea leaves. So please, take the cup of the person sitting opposite to you." She spoke.

I took Harry's cup and he took mine. Ron had to take Neville's as he didn't have a partner.

"What do you see? The truth lies buried. Like a sentence deep in a book, waiting to be read."

"What rubbish!" I heard someone say behind me. I looked back.

"Hermione?! Where did you come from? You weren't there a minute ago." I said, furrowing my brows.

"Me? I've been here this whole time." She said with a confused look on her face.

"You! Give me your cup." Ordered the frizzy haired woman. "How's your grandmother doing?"

"F-fine... I-I I think so." Replied Neville. "I wouldn't be so sure of that." She took Neville's cup and began examining it. "Oh...um... pity," she said with a look of disappointment. "Oh, OH your aura is pulsing, dear. Are you in the beyond?" she came to me with much excitement. "Look at the cup. Tell me what you see." "Oh yeah sure..." I said. "Um... so Harry's got a sort of a wonky cross...so that must be... yeh...so you're gonna suffer... but you're gonna be happy about it"

"Give me the cup," she said, "Ahh, aahh! Oh, my dear boy. You've got the grim."

"What's a grim?" someone asked.

"Taking the form of a giant spectral dog," read Ron. "It's among the darkest omens in our world. It's an omen of... an omen of death."

I gasped. Omen of death?
