Harry woke up suddenly. Something was prodding him, something strange. He opened his eyes. It was the house elf; Dobby.

"Dobby! Don't do that! What are you doing anyway?" Harry stammered.  

"Dobby is sorry, sir. Will not happen again. I came to warn you." He replied. Dobby looked nervous. Harry looked startled.

"Warn me about what,  Dobby?"

"Dobby was cleaning the north tower class room when a miss apeared wearing eye goggles. She went into some sort of real trance and said some weird things."

Harry looked at Dobby, and shook his head. "Dobby.....Trelawny says a lot of weird things, most of which are fake-"

"But sir......it pertained you. I knows she says a lot of weird things, but this one was real. She says something about a war."

"Are.....are you sure?"

"Yes, sir. I is." Dobby replied. "Something about you and another who can control water. Something about you two fighting."

"Is that all?"

"Yes sir."

"Okay, thanks Dobby."

Harry got dressed, and went down to the Great Hall; where he saw Annabeth having an arguement with Hermione. Grover was talking to Firenze, the centaur teacher of divination. Tyson was talking to Hagrid, and Percy was in conversation with Ron. Harry took a seat next to Ron. 

"Come off it, there is no way that muggles didn't just fall asleep like that, some of them would have woken up." Ron said to Percy. Ron noticed Harry.

"Quittage trials today, Harry!" Ron said excitedly. Harry was the Quittage captain of the Gryphindor team. Harry looked at him and Hermione.

"I need to tell you guys something, only I can't say it now." The bell rang. Ron decided to change the subject.

"Outside all day, not bad. Hmmmm. I wonder what Hagrid has for us."                 

Percy walked up to them. "Proffesor Dumbledore says that I have to go to classes with you two." He said to Harry and Ron. Ron looked excited, Hermione, however, didn't look to excited. Perhaps she didn't  like Annebeth too much.

They walked down to Hagrid's, He looked happy.

"Alright everyone, this is a pheonix. These brilliant birds are amazin. Ruddy brilliant, these birds are. Very smart.""Who, in their right minds, would want a bird who can burn your house down as a pet?" Malfoy snarled.

"Shut up Malfoy-" But Hagrid, who apparantly was ready for this, answered him, "LIsten here Malfoy, these bird's tears can heal you. They can carry an"  send mail, you can even fly on em". They won"t light you on fire or attack, they only defend there owners. They don" die untill their owners die." Hagrid was on a role, "They go into ashes, them reincarnate them selves into a baby. They grow really fast too. Oh, and Malfoy, ten points from Slytherin for not takin' notes."

The Gryfindors laughed hard. Malfoy looked peakish. When the bell rang, Ron walked up to Harry.

"Blimey! That was a good lesson!"

LATER THAT EVENING, ON THE GRYPHINDOR QUITTAGE FIELD

"Hey, Harry, can me, Grover and Annabeth watch you practice? We have never seen a Quittage game before." Percy asked him, as he and Ron entered the changing room.

"err, yeah, sure."
