  When June, James, Maribelle, and Ginny entered the Great Hall for breakfast the next day, the first thing they saw was Draco Malfoy, who was entertaining a large group of Slytherin. As they walked past, Draco did a stupid impression of a swooning fit and there was an uproar of laughter.

"Hey, Potter!" shrieked Pansy Parkinson, stealing June's attention. "Potter! The Dementors are coming, Potter! Wooooooo!"

  The comment was directed at Harry, but June's smiled disbanded.

June sat down beside Fred Weasley, at the Gryffindor table.

"New third-year timetables, said George passing them down and to Fred.

Fred handed it to June and she passed them down.

"What's up with you, Harry?"

"Malfoy," said Ron, sitting down on George's other side and glaring at the Slytherin table.

  George looked up just in time to see Draco faint in 'fear'.

  "That little git," he said calmly. "He wasn't that cocky last night when the Dementors were at our end of the train. Came running into our compartment, didn't he, Fred?"

  "Nearly wet himself," said Fred, having June kill herself laughing.

  Fred chuckled.

"See you two." June sighed.

June and James find a shortcut to the North Tower, and the two get there first. June looked around the small landing finding no doors. June's eyes found a ladder leading up to the ceiling, her eyes followed it and found a circular trap door with a brass plaque on it.

"Sybill Trelawney, Divination teacher." June read.

"How you supposed we get up there?" James asked.

"The ladder, dumbass," June said pointing at the ladder.

James looked over at her with the most serious look on his face.

"You swear?"

"It's not, it just has the word ass in it," June said, starting to climb the ladder.

The two entered the strangest classroom they had ever seen. It didn't remotely look like a classroom. I was like a cross of someone's attic, and an old fashion teashop. About twenty circle tables, crammed in again the walls with dusty-looking feathers, bowls of candles placed on the tables, countless tattered playing cards, and many silvery crystal balls and a huge cast of teacups.

James' head appeared in the trapdoor.

"What the hell? What is this place?" James said loudly.

"It's a classroom dummy ... Well I think is..." June said looking around.

The two made their way to a table and took a seat in the chairs. They pulled out their books and started to get ready for the class.

  A lady with crazy hair opened the trapdoor and pulled the slivery ladder up.

  June and James looked at each other and then looked back to where the person was.

  "Where did they go?" James whispered.

  "I don't know -" June jumped when someone grabbed her shoulder. "-Ah!"

  "Someone you care about will give you the feeling of betrayal." Said the crazy-haired lady.

  "James, I am officially terrified of this teacher," June whispered to James.

  "What the hell is wrong with this teacher?" James whispered to June.
