-IT WAS NOW APRIL. Adhara walked to Divination class with her brother and Pansy, sitting down on a table. She frowned slightly when she realized the crystal balls. "Weren't we supposed to do that later on in the term?"
Pansy nodded. "Yeah. But it's better than the tea leaves, honestly. I don't know how much longer I could spit it all out and pretend that I'd die next month."
Pansy and Adhara looked at each other for a few seconds before both of them bursting out in laughter, making Draco, who was almost asleep, sit up immediately. "What happened?" He asked, frantically looking around.
Draco nodded, "Yeah." He said and yawned, making her even more worried.
Professor Trelawney walked in at that moment and started her great speech about her third eye, but Adhara was too busy gazing at the crystal ball on their table in boredom.
Her brows furrowed when an image appeared in the glass orb.
An older version of Adhara appeared in the orb. She was pushing someone onto the wall, her expression angry as she looked at the person. It looked like she was on top of the astronomy tower.
Adhara couldn't tell what she was saying, so she just stuck to watching the scene play out.
She took a few steps back, glancing one last time at the person, her eyes tearing up. "Watch me." She said and left.
Adhara snapped out of her shock when Trelawney started talking once again, "Would anyone like me to help them interpret the shadowy portents within their Orb?" she murmured over the clinking of her bangles.
"I don't need help," Draco whispered. "It's obvious what this means. There's going to be loads of fog tonight."
Adhara and Pansy looked at him in awe for a few seconds. "Say what now?" Pansy eventually asked, but their attentions were caught by something else happening.
"Now, really!" said Professor Trelawney, as everyone's heads turned into Harry's table's direction, where Hermione and Ron were also sitting at. Parvati and Lavender were looking scandalised. "You are disturbing the clairvoyant vibrations!" She approached their table and peered into their crystal ball.
Harry grabbed onto his chair as tightly as he could, trying to stop himself from strangling the teacher as he was sure he knew what was coming.
"There is something here!" Professor Trelawney whispered, lowering her face to the ball, so that it was reflected twice in her huge glasses. "Something moving... but what is it? My dear.." Professor Trelawney breathed, gazing up at Harry. "It is here, plainer than ever before ... my dear, stalking towards you, growing ever closer... the Gr-"
"Oh, for Merlin's sake!" Hermione interrupted, making everybody look at her in shock, "Not that ridiculous grim, again!"
"I am sorry to say that from the moment you have arrived in this class, my dear, it has been apparent that you do not have what the noble art of Divination requires. Indeed, I don't remember ever meeting a student whose mind was so hopelessly Mundane." Trelawney said, making Adhara, Draco, and Pansy cover their mouths to stop their laughter that was threatening to come out.
"Fine!" said Hermione suddenly, getting up and cramming the Unfogging the Future book back into her bag. "Fine!" she repeated, swinging her bag over her shoulder and almost knocking Ron of his chair. "I give up! I'm leaving!"
And to the whole class's amazement, Hermione strode over to the trapdoor, kicked it open, and climbed down the ladder out of sight.
"Did I say something wrong?" Trelawney asked in confusion, making Harry give her a look.
"You just told her that her mind was helplessly mundane. No, I don't think you said anything wrong, Professor." Harry said sarcastically, but was ignored.
"Ooooo!" said Lavender Brown suddenly, making everyone start. "Oooooo, Professor Trelawney, I've just remembered! You saw her leaving, didn't you? Didn't you, Professor? Around Easter, one of our number will leave us forever! You said it ages ago, Professor!"
Professor Trelawney gave her a dewy smile. "Yes, my dear, I did indeed know that Miss Granger would be leaving us. One hopes, however, that one might have mistaken the Signs... The Inner Eye can be a burden, you know..."
"I wonder what would happen if she had an Outer Eye.." Pansy wondered aloud, making Adhara openly laugh.
