A few days after the wand weighing ceremony, John was again late down to breakfast. As he leapt down the last few steps of the staircase, Harry stomped past him, red in the face, closely followed by Hermione.

'What-?'

But they were already gone, so John continued on to the Great Hall. It took him a few moments, but half way down the hall, he noticed that sniggers and whispers were all being directed at him.

'What's going on?' he asked.

Sherlock, Dean, Sam, and Cas were all sitting at the far end of the Gryffindor table, all failing at concealing their own amusement.

Dean passed him that morning's Daily Prophet, with the headline: Triwizard Champion. Most of the front page was dedicated to a picture of Harry. John began to read the article underneath, but Dean said, 'No, not that,' and turned the paper to another page headed: A Seer in the Works, accompanied by a picture of John staring into the distance.

'What the hell is this?' John demanded, heat rising up his neck.

'Why don't you read it and find out?' Dean said, barely able to contain himself.

John Watson, a small, unassuming boy of fourteen, has been blessed with the power to see the future. A gift that many wizards would give anything to posses. Rita Skeeter gets the inside scoop on what it's really like from Mr Watson himself.

'It's very different from being a normal Seer,' says John. 'I'm the most powerful one in the world, so it's really difficult. Sometimes I can hardly stand the pain.'

'That's not what I said!' John said hotly.

'Keep going,' said Dean.

Watson, however, is also a close friend of new Triwizard champion Harry Potter. There are many that are concerned that a boy with this sort of power would be far too easily tempted to cheat. When asked whether or not he was involved with Potter's miraculous inclusion in the Triwizard Tournament, Watson only had this to say.

'Maybe I did help him. I have no idea. It's so hard to keep in touch with reality these days.'

'Unbelievable!' John exclaimed.

'Dude, you gotta read the whole thing.'

This sort of power appears to be far too much for one so young to handle, but it's not all doom and gloom for Mr Watson. Despite his thin grasp on reality and his near-constant debilitating pain, there appears to be a blossoming romance between Watson and his companion, young Sherlock Holmes.

'They're always together,' says close friend Colin Creevey. 'Sherlock's in our common room almost every night. Sometimes he doesn't even leave.'

When Watson himself was delicately asked about his relationship with Mr Holmes, he was surprisingly frank.

'Sherlock and I are meant to be,' he said, smiling for the first time in our interview. 'Sherlock doesn't know it, but I do. We'll be together one day, you just wait and see.'

So there you have it, loyal readers. We shall indeed see what the future holds for our young Seer, but until then, we can only wait.

John looked up from the paper, horrified, face burning, and heart in his throat.

No one around him could stand it any longer, and Sherlock, Sam and Dean all burst out laughing.

'You - you don't believe any of this, do you?' John asked Sherlock.
