11| She figures it out

The next morning in Divination Hermione had been sitting with Ron while Harry was sitting with Diana, thanks to Hermione. Ron had been asleep while the professor continued on speaking. Harry on the other hand was staring at the crystal ball in front of him trying his hardest not to fall asleep like Ron had.

When Trelawney made her way closer to Ron and Hermione's table, Hermione shook him to wake him up, this only pcausing Ron to fall out of his seat and onto the ground. 

"Do you mind me trying?" Hermione asked, very well aware that Ron was on the ground. Harry and Diana looked over at Ron, who had remained asleep on the floor. 

"Should one of us wake him?" Diana whispered to Harry. "No, I say he looks pretty comfortable" Harry answered in the same whispered tone. 

"The Grim, possibly" Hermione said, these words catching Harry's attention. 

"My dear, from the first moment you stepped foot in my class..." Trelawney started and took a shot pause. "I sensed that you did not possess the proper spirit... for the noble art of divination" she continued telling Hermione as she held Hermione's hand as if she were reading her palm.

"Now, you see, there.. You may be young in years but your heart is as shriveled as pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave" Trelawney told Hermione.

Hermione got angry and stood up abruptly and knocked over the crystal ball. The noise of it hitting the ground woke Ron up and he then placed himself back on his cushioned seat. "Rubbish" Hermione muttered to herself as she stormed out.

Diana grabbed her bag and raced after Hermione. "Where are they going? What happened?" Ron asked as he rubbed his eyes, Harry didn't answer as he was now also mad. He hated seeing his friends upset or angry so this made Hermione's anger pass onto him.

"What, has she gone mental? I mean,not that she wasn't always, but now it's out there for everyone to see" Ron as a response to what Harry had told him. 

"She has a right to be upset, you know. And it doesn't help that you call her mental every ten minutes" Harry told Ron.

He then stopped when the crystal ball that Hermione knocked over was on the ground. Harry picked it up and rushed up to the classroom to give it back to the professor. "I'm not going back" Ron said, "I'm not asking you to. I'll see you later" Harry said.

"It's absolutely barbaric. Not to mention what we learn in that class is rubbish. I don't understand why I even took the subject. I'm thinking of dropping out of it" Hermione said without pausing as she paced back in forth in the girl's dormitory. 

"Do what you think is best, Hermione. Besides I do agree that was she said to you wasn't the nicest. If she weren't a professor I would have punched her like my uncle Damon taught me" Diana told Hermione.

"Damon? Why does that name sound familiar?" Hermione asked. 

Diana shrugged, "you've probably just heard me mention Damon before". 

"Enough about Divination though. Let's talk about Defense Against the Dark Arts. Because I have to tell you something about Professor Lupin" Hermione said as she sat down on her bed.

"That he's a werewolf?" Diana said. 

"Yes. But, how did you know?" Hermione frowned slightly. 

"I was able to tell. His boggart was not just a regular moon but a full moon, he has those scars on his face, he was radio silent the night of a full moon, and he wasn't there to teach us the day after the full moon" Diana told Hermione.
