When breakfast was finished, we went to Divination. I could imagine how hard Lavender wanted to punish us for this lesson. As Amber and I came in, I could feel her eyes burning into my skin. I decided to sit at the very back with Amber and Alana. And I was delighted that Sirius, his brothers and Liam were in this lesson too and sitting beside us. "Today, we'll be studying tea leaves. Everyone grab a cup and I suggest, Bev, that you use one of the plain ones after you break this one." We all went to collect a tea cup and sure enough, Bev broke his cup. He went to get a plain one, just as Lavender said. "And, I have decided that you shall all call me Mrs. Brown, and not Lavender, my first name."

"But Miss- I mean, Mrs. Brown. You aren't married. Therefore, we shall call you Miss. Brown and not Mrs. Brown. You don't deserve such a lovely name." Said a Gryffindor who was about 13-14. I smiled. What lovely cheek! Then Lavender burst. "I WOULD'VE BEEN MARRIED IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT EVIL, UGLY, RABBIT-TEETH OF A GRANGER-" Then she stopped, her face hot red. Then the class burst out in laughter. "SILENCE!" She screeched. There were a few giggles and then the room went quiet. "Fine then! MISS. Brown it is!" She growled. Turning toward the board. Amber and I started to giggle again but by the time she turned to see who was disrespecting her, our robes were stuffed into our mouths to stop us, tears of laughter streaming from our eyes. "Now. Pour the tea into your cup and add two tea leaves inside. Then stir and drink until there is no tea left." She ordered. Everyone did so at once. "Bev, go get another cup." Lavender sighed, before Bev broke his cup, again. He looked at her in shock as he grabbed his third tea cup. "And I assure you, Bev, you wont break anymore today."

He gaped in respect and Lavender smiled in delight. She loved admirers. Once my tea was gone, I gave Amber my cup and she gave me hers. We pulled out our books and flipped to the tea leaves page. "Ur, yours looks like... an orange cat... sitting on... ur... Mother's head... wearing a... peacock's feathers... for a crown." I ended. Amber, Sirius, his brothers and Liam roared with laughter. "Go it, Lola!" Cried James, clapping me on the back. I smiled. "Your turn Amber! I bet yours will also be priceless!" Yelled out Sirius. Amber grinned and looked inside my teacup. "Ok... so... there is an otter... sitting on a throne... eating papayas... and using you as its... oh yeah. Footrest." I spat on the table in surprise. I laughed and laughed, tears running down my cheeks. The boys at the other tables laughed as well. So did some of the students in the row below us. "SILENCE!" Screeched Lavender and the laughing died down. "No... More... LAUGHING!" She yelled, then turned toward the board. "Sirius, Liam, Amber, Lola, James, Albus and Severus, DETENTION! Come to my office after Lunch!" She cried, then started to write things on the board. "Well, that will be fun." Grinned James mischievously.

Astronomy came after divination. I was so excited! My Hufflepuff class and the Slytherin class took Astronomy together, meaning I could ask Emily about the mouse! I had decided to keep it. Before breakfast, I found it sleeping on my bedside table and thought it was so sweet, that patted it and decided to keep it. Snowflake was its name. I now carried Snowflake around in my bag. It had a little section in there at the bottom. You see, my bag has a false bottom so there's a space beneath with small breathing holes on the bottom. I had glued a small bed in it and a tiny food tray where I could put little titbits inside. Other than that small space where I kept her, she always sat on my shoulder. Right now, Snowflake was lying in the bottom of my bag because if Emily saw it, I would be in big trouble. I went through the trapdoor and stood on the platform. I gasped. Hanging from the roof there was like, an enormous silver sphere surrounded by moving silver circles that rotated around it. It was mesmerising. I ran toward the windows (More like a balcony) and gazed out over the beautiful fields and mountains and forests. It was amazing!

"Be careful. I don't want you to fall and then tell you're mother and father that you had died and there was nothing that I could do to stop you." Said a chucking voice behind me. I turned and stepped back, almost falling over the railing. A tall human, no, a horse, no, both, was standing below the constellation-looking thing. "I- you- you're a real- real centaur!" I gaped. By now, all the students were crowded at the entrance, gaping and not daring to take any steps. The centaur chuckled. "Yes. I am. Gather around everyone. Thats it. My name is Freinze. Today we will be learning about a star called, 'Pluto'. Anybody heard of it?" As everyone slowly circled around Frienze, I put my hand up. So did another boy with dark black hair cascading over his head. As I looked closer, I realized that his eyes were a nice pale blue. I guess he looks a bit similar to Harry. But when I kept looking at him, he swiped back his hair. It fell back into its place at once but then I saw it. His eyes were a deep red! He looked half evil! He frowned, swiped his hair, and his eyes were blue again. I gaped silently in horror. "Ah. Your name is Lola, right? You're a daughter of Ron, that's for sure. Now what do you know about Pluto?" Asked Frienze with a smile.

I didn't hear him. Still gazing at the mysterious boy, he shook his head, looking angry, and then the ends of his hair started to change colour! It was a deep dark red, fitting with his red eyes. Once again, his eyes turned red and he glared at Frienze. "Lola? What do you know about Pluto?" The boy was starting to look really feirce and evil now. He glared at our teacher, baring his teeth and furrowing his brows. I stepped back, starting to look scared. He looked EVIL! Pure evil! "Lola!" Frienze yelled. The boy turned his head, saw my scared and surprised look, widened his eyes, shook his head and all the red and anger disappeared. Only black hair, only blue eyes, and only a normal expression on his face. "Lola Weasley! 1 point from Hufflepuff for ignoring me!" Yelled Frienze. I blinked, looked at Frienze, shut my mouth, opened it again, and fainted with a surprised sigh.
