It had been a few days since I had gone missing. But today was my first Divination class. I walked in the halls with my brother and he told me all about Professor Trelawney, the Divination professor. "She's alright I guess, a bit mental if you ask me-" Harry started.

"A bit Harry? She belongs in an insane asylum! The whole predicting thing is fake too!" Hermione yelled, obviously upset at something.

"Bloody hell Hermione! When did you get here?" Ron asked looking almost as confused as me.

"Nevermind that Ronald!" She said storming off into the classroom which we had to climb a series of stairs to get to.

Ron followed her closely behind as I stayed back with Harry. "I think Ron's got a crush." I said looking at him begging for Hermione to tell him what's wrong.

"You're just now catching onto that? Anyways, wanna be partners?" He asked excitedly.

"Of course Harry!" I replied as we sat down at a table while.

It was groups of two and Ron was with Hermione. I watched them and giggled as they were both arguing quietly. Meanwhile Trelawney was telling us about teacups and tea leaves.

"Ah Miss.Black! lovely for you to finally join us! I'm Professor Trelawney and welcome to Divination. Now you and Mr. Potter switch teacups and read the tea leaves."

She left our table and went over to Hermione and Ron's table and tried to fix the argument as if she was a couple's therapist. It was quite entertaining to watch but I wanted to focus on our work. "Mr. Potter! Can you read Y/n's teacup please?" Trelawney said suddenly appearing behind Harry and startling him.

"Erm- Yes Professor. She's got a wonky looking cross...That's trials and suffering. But this lot here could be the sun...That's great happiness. So she's going to suffer...But be very happy about it?" Harry said in a confused tone and he said his last sentence.

Trelawney took my cup and peered inside and gasped really loudly. "Professor are you ok? What happened?" I asked worried for what she might say next.

"My dear girl...You have the Grim." She said loudly for the whole class to hear.

I neard students whispering to eachother in the back of the class and others asking what the 'grim' was. I'll be honest I had no idea either. "Professor, what might the Grim be?" I asked calmly.

Lavender Brown was madly flipping through pages and I turned around to look at her as she began reading aloud,"Taking the form of a large spectral dog, it is among the darkest omens in our world. It is an omen of...death."

Chills went down my spine as she read the last word. The bell rung and we were on our way to our next class. It was Monday so we had Care of Magical Creatures. I missed all of last week so these were my first days in these classes. "Ello Y/n! Nice to see yeh in me class!" Hagrid said happily.

"Oh alright everyone gather 'round, open yer books!" Hagrid yelled.

"And how exactly do we do that?" I whispered over to Harry.

He took my book and stroked the spine and it opened. Without biting? Harry said this book would bite but oh well. "In return of our much missed classmate Y/n, I've prepared a surprise today!" Hagrid said looking excited.

"Alright eveyone are yeh guys ready? Books open? Alright, alright, I'll go get him." Hagrid said sounding nervous as he walked off.

I turned around inspecting our surroundings. I was quite a beautiful forest if you ask me. I turned around some more and locked eyes with Draco. He gave me a soft smile and I returned one back. The past few days we had been getting along way better. I'd say we are friends now. He put a finger to his lips telling me to keep quiet when he went up and stood in front of Harry. "H-harry! There's a dementor behind you!" Draco yelled as Harry turned around.
