My yellow

Chapter 12 - Divination

Hermione P.O.V

I woke up with a major headache as all of yesterday's events flood back into my mind. I sit up and check the time, it's 6:00 am. I sigh and get out of bed. I rub the sleep from the corners of my eyes and head into the bathroom.

I have bags under my eyes and my hair is a mess. I grab my hairbrush and comb through my hair. When my hair is just about tamed, I curl it and tie it into a low bun and pull out some small strands to frame my face. I then brush my teeth and put on some make up. I look in the mirror and sigh. I can't help think that I was never jealous or insecure until I was show that I was so easy to throw away for just about anything. I start putting my uniform on and head to divination. I keep my head down as I walk through the corridor because I'm scared of what people will say or murmur about me behind my back if I have my head up. I bump into someone.

"Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." I say not looking up at the person I bumped into and try to walk away when they gently grab my arm.

"Lass can I talk to ye before classes start?" I recognize the person's voice to be Oliver Wood. I look up and meet his eyes.

"Uh sure I guess." I say in a low voice. We walk over to a deserted corner and when Oliver is about to say something I am called over by Professor Trelawny. I sigh.

"I'll catch you later Wood." I say and walk into divination. I sit behind Harry and Ron who are sat right at the front.

"Class we will be joined by 6th year Gryffindors so there will be no Slytherins or other houses in this class." Lee, Oliver and the twins walk in and sit on the tables on either side of Ron and Harry. My eyes meet Oliver's but then I look away and look at my book that is open in front of me. I hear him sigh before I glance up to see that he is now sat facing the front. I look across from me to see Lavender sat there. I look back to the front trying to ignore her presence.

"Welcome my children." Professor Trelawny starts. "In this room you should explore the art of noble divination. In this room you shall discover if you possess the sight." The professor says standing up and walking into the table in front of her. Everyone chuckles before she continues.

"For those of you who do not know me I am Professor Trelawny. Together we shall cast ourselves into the future." She smiles at us excitedly. There's an awkward silence before she speaks again. "This term we will be focusing on Tasseography which is the art of reading tea leaves. Please now take the of the person opposite you." I look to see Lavender grab my cup so I grab hers.

"You see the truth lies bedded deep with a book waiting to be read but you must broaden your mind." The professor says placing her hands on Seamus's head and then lifting them up before continuing. "First you must look beyond." She says dramatically while doing a gesture with her hands. 

"What a load of rubbish." I mumble. Harry, the twins and Oliver look at me with a surprised and confused expression before turning back around.

"Boy is your grandmother quite real?" Professor Trelawny asks Neville.

"U-uh I think so." Neville responds.

"Oh I wouldn't be so sure of that." I spot worry appear on Neville's face. "Give the cup." she says and Dean hands her the cup. She takes one look inside it and puts it down.

"Oh pity." Neville picks up the cup slightly worried as the teacher walks around the class. She stops in front of me and Lavender. "Your aura is pulsing dear." She says to Lavender who is holding my cup. "Are you in the beyond?" Lavender doesn't get the chance to respond. "I think you are." She nods.

"Sure."

"Look at the cup tell me what you see." 

"Oh yeah um... Well Hermione's got sort of a..." She flicks through the pages of the book.

"Wonky cross which is something about suffering." She says looking up at the professor who just nods. "And um that there could be the sun and that's happiness so uh you're going to suffer but you're going to be happy about it?" She says not really sure if it makes sense. Professor Trelawny looks at me and tells Lavender to give her the cup. Lavender hands her the cup and with one glance the professor lets out a scream which causes the class to fall silent.

"Oh my dear girl." Oliver, Lee, the twins, Harry and Ron all to look at me. "My dear you have the grim." She says and everyone starts murmuring to each other.

"The grin? What's the grin?" Seamus asks.

"The grim you idiot not the grin." Lee says as he reads from his textbook in front of him. "Taking form of a giant spectral dog. It's amongst the darkest omens in our world and it could be the omen meaning death." Professor Trelawny looks at me with fear in her eyes before speaking.

"Class dismissed." I leave the class first not really wanting to talk to anyone and head straight to DADA. A few moments later Harry and the others arrive and I stand behind a corner trying my best not to be seen by any of them. Thankfully it works and they go straight into the classroom. I take a deep breath before going in. I notice Oliver's eyes meet mine. He motions for me to sit with him. I sigh and sit next Oliver avoiding Harry's and the twins expressions. I keep my head downs and wait for Professor Moody to walk in.
