Forbidden Lover

Chapter Twenty One

Artemis’s P.O.V
It was now the first day of classes and after Draco and I had breakfast in the Great Hall, the both of us along with the other students had gone to our first class of the day and I eventually walked into Divination with Harry and Ron before we sat down along with the rest of the class, “Welcome, my children. In this room, you shall explore the noble art of Divination. In this room, you shall discover if you possess the Sight. Hello. I am Professor Trelawney. Together we shall cast ourselves into the future. This term, we shall be focusing on Tasseomancy, which is the art of reading tea leaves. So please, take the cup of the person sitting opposite you. What do you see?” She said to everyone and we had done what she said as we grabbed the cup from the other and I looked into the cup to see what it was as Professor Trelawney continued to speak, “the truth lies buried like a sentence deep within a book, waiting to be read. But first, you must broaden your mind. First you must look beyond.” Professor Trelawney said to us as she walked around the room before looking at Neville, “you boy, is your mother quiet well?” she asked him, “I think so.” he told her, “I wouldn't be so sure of that. Give me the cup.” she said to him and after she had done so, she winced a little as she put it down causing Neville to look at it in worry before continuing to walk around before getting to Ron and Harry and talked to the both of them about what they had seen in their cups, “your Aura is pulsing, dear. Are you in the beyond? I think you are.” she asked Ron, “sure” he told her, “look at the cup. Tell me what you see.” she said to Ron, “well, Harry’s got sort of a wonky cross. That’s trials and suffering. And that there could be the sun and that’s happiness. So uh, you’re gonna suffer, but you're gonna be happy about it.” Ron said before giving the cup to Professor Trelawney only to have her panic as she quickly put the cup back on the table, “oh, my dear boy. My dear you have The Grim.” she said to Harry and I furrowed my brows a little, “The Grin? What’s the Grin?” Seamus asked wondering, “not the Grin you Idiot.” I said to him before someone else spoke up, “the Grim. taking the form of a giant spectral dog. It’s among the darkest Omens in our world. It’s an Omen of death.” another person said as he read out what it meant before Professor Trelawney continued on with the class.

After Divination was over, I had met up with Draco as we both had our next few classes together and we were both walking to Hagrid’s class together along with Pansey, Goyal and Crabbe and we all had a few laughs by the time we had gotten to class and gathered around before Hagrid spoke up, “that’s it. Come on now. Come closer. less talking if you don’t mind. I got a real treat for you today. A great lesson. So follow me.” he said to everyone before we followed him wherever he was talking before Hagrid spoke up again, “alright you lot. Less chattering. Form a group over there. And open your book to page 49.” he told everyone and I began to wonder how we should do that, “exactly how do we do that?” Draco asked him, “just stroke the spine of course.” Hagrid told us and I had done so before the book eventually opened before hearing Draco speak up again, “oh yeah terribly funny. Really witty. God, this place has gone to the dogs. Wait until our father hears that Dumbledore’s got this Oaf teaching classes.” Draco said and I rolled my eyes a little, “bloody hell leave the man alone will you.” I said to him before Harry spoke up, “Shut up Malfoy and I suggest you listen to your sister.” Harry said to him before Draco had given Crabbe his bag before walking up to Harry before Draco had gotten all Fidgety before pointing behind Harry, “Dementor. Dementor” Draco said as some of the others quickly looked before looking back while Draco and the others laughed as they put up their hoods and mocked them before Hagrid got out attention and showed what looked like a Hippogriff and I got to the front to get a better look before smiling, “isn’t he beautiful? Say hello to Buckbeak.” he said to everyone as he fed Buckbeak a ferret, “he’s bloody brilliant.” I said as I looked at it, “Hagrid, exactly what is that?” Ron asked him, “that Ron, is a Hippogriff. First thing you wanna know about Hippogriffs, is that they’re very proud creatures. Very easily offended. You do not want to insult a Hippogriff. It may just be the last thing you ever do. Now, who’d like to come and say hello?” Hagrid said to everyone and I just froze there, “well done, Harry and Artemis. Well done.” Hagrid said to us, bringing me back from my thoughts only to look behind me to see that everyone had backed away, “whimps.” I whispered as I looked back at Hagrid, “Harry, you first. Come on now.” Hagrid said to him before Ron and I gave him a little push, “now, you have to let him make the first move. It’s only polite. So, step up. Give him a nice bow. Then you wait and see if he bows back. And if he does, you can go and touch him. If not, well we’ll get to that later.” Hagrid said to Harry before Hagrid continued to instruct him before he managed to get Buckbeak to bow back, “well done Harry. Well done.” Hagrid said before giving Buckbeak another Ferret before continuing, “right. I think you can go and pat him now. Go on. Don’t be shy.” Hagrid said as Harry began to slowly walk up to it.
