Percy and Nico Undercover at Hogwarts

Chapter Thirty Six

Harry's POV

We had Divination for the first time this year today. Hermione kept reminding us how Professor Trelawney is a fraud and how Divination is stupid and an insult to her intelligence.

We ignored her because it was an easy credit.

"I wonder who's going to die this year," Ron said and Nico and Percy looked both confused and concerned.

"Die? What are you talking about?" Nico asked, oddly worried.

"Every year the professor predicts the death of a student," Ron explained.

"Who was it last year?"

"Me," I told them and I shrugged, "But I'm still alive."

"Obviously," Nico said and rolled his eyes while Percy chuckled.

We climbed up the ladder and when we got into the classroom, we saw tables that sat two people with tea cups and tea pots on them.

"This is how it started last year," I explained. "She read my tea leaves and-." Professor Trelawney walked out from behind a curtain before I could finish talking.

"Welcome to Divination. Everyone take a seat. Please know that this class is not for everyone as not everyone has the inner eye." She looked across the class, her eyes stopping on Percy.

Her body stiffened and she walked towards him, almost unwillingly. Percy looked as confused as everyone felt.

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call.

To storm or fire, the world must fall.

An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death."

Percy looked at Nico in shock, but he didn't notice. He was staring at Professor Trelawney with interest in his eyes while Percy looked beyond worried.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asked in confusion. Everyone was staring at the Professor as she started at Percy.

After a few moments, she shook her head, coming out of her trance.

"How did you know that prophecy?" Percy asked slowly and she looked at him in confusion.

"What prophecy?" When he didn't answer she walked back to the front of the class. "Today we will be looking into the future, so everyone pour a cup of tea!" We did as she said, but we still didn't know what had just happened. She had sprouted a prophecy, much like she did to me last year. She didn't even remember doing it.

After a few minutes, everyone was opening their books, reading their partners tea leaves and trying to find the matching symbols in the book.

I looked at Ron who was sitting across from me. "So, I see something that looks like a horse shoe, so it means that your going to have good luck." Ron nodded at what I said, clearly pleased.

"That's good. I don't see a Grimm in yours this year, so we don't have to worry about you dying this time," he said and we both chuckled, but were stopped shortly by a curt scream.

I quickly looked at the professor who was standing at Percy and Nico's table. Neither of them looked worried, they looked more interested than anything. The whole class was watching what was happening.

"The Reaper," She shouted as she threw the tea cup away from her and looked at Nico. "You have death in your soul! You have been cursed!"

Nico put his hand over his heart and faked shock. It almost seemed like he had won a prize.
