Voldermort's Grand-Daughter: Fates' Wager

Chapter 25: The Warning

Ron turns to Harry, confused, "Civil?".

Harry sighs, "We have a...mutual understanding. I'm going to put this back in the classroom".

Lilith nods, "I'll come with you".

Draco asks, "Are you sure, Lia?".  

She smiles, "I'll be fine, Dray". She smirks and turns to Neville, "Do you just not want to be alone in your dorm with the new couple?".

Neville blushes while the others look confused, considering the Slytherin friend group were the only ones to know of his new boyfriend.

Harry asks, "What is she talking about?".

Neville stutters, "N-nothing. I mean, I-I don't know what she's...". He grabs Draco's arm, "Come on, Draco".

The two boys start to walk off, Lilith calling out, "I give you permission to snog on Draco's bed!".

Both Neville and Draco respond, "I hate you!" "Thanks, Lil!".  

She smirks and grabs the crystal ball from Harry's hands, "Let's go, Potter".

She starts to walk inside the classroom, Harry following her and leaving Ron in the hall by himself, confused as to what just happened. They head into the empty classroom, Lilith walking over to where Hermione was sitting and placing the crystal ball back on the stand.

Harry walks over, "I'm curious, what exactly happened between you and Hermione to cause such tension?".

Lilith sighs, "It's blaringly obvious that we have very opposing views of the world. She clearly believes that she's the smartest girl in the whole world and the only person whose views matter. Even Neville can see that she refuses to even hear people out".  

He nods, "I understand. When Neville started hanging out with you guys, we were all shocked, sure, but supportive nonetheless. Hermione basically vowed that she wanted nothing to do with him anym-".  

A hand forcefully grabs Harry's shoulder and spins him around. He gasps and Lilith raises her wand as they notice who it was.

Harry asks, "Professor Trelawney?".

She whispers, "He will return tonight...". Harry stiffens and Lilith squints her eyes as Trelawney continues, "Tonight, when the clock strikes twelve, the servant shall break free. He and his Master shall be reunited. It cannot be prevented". 

Harry and Lilith slowly turn to each other, both confused and concerned. Lilith was racking her brain about who or what she was referring to. Before anything else can happen, she grabs Harry's arm and pulls him out of the room.

Shutting the door behind them, Harry stops, "What just happened?".

Lilith shakes her head, "I have no idea, but one thing I know for sure is that...". She points to the door, "...was true divination. There is no way that Granger could debunk that".

He rubs his face, "Ok, ok. So...let me get this straight, a master and servant are going to be reunited and cannot be prevented?".

She nods, "And it's going to happen at midnight. But who would be considered a mast-".  

She stops as she finally realises who Trelawney was talking about. Now all she needs to figure out is who his servant is.
