(A/N: Okay, so I think I'm going to continue with these multi-perspective chapters because I've found I can write a whole bunch easier. Also, the picture at the top tells the time. This will be a 2 part chapter with 2 perspectives.) 

*Harry's POV* 

This morning, all the exchange students were late to breakfast. I wondered what was up with them. Why were they all so late? And why did Hogwarts smell like a combination of food and smoke lately? 

Last night, Ron and I had been listening through the common room door. They had been watching a movie (how?!) and talking about their parents. The only unusual thing about that was the movie. Muggle technology shouldn't work at Hogwarts. Although Hermione was asking questions about her mum. I thought she already knew her mum but I guess maybe that was her step-mum. But a couple of the boys had said something a little suspicious. Apparently, one of them had raised the dead. I know that sounds weird but the other had specifically told him not to raise the dead. 

I'd asked Hermione about that. She said it would have been a betrayal to tell me. I wondered how though. I wanted to bring back my parents, and Sirius, and Cedric, and Dobby, and Dumbledore, and Tonks, and Lupin, and Mad-Eye, and Fred, and everyone else. 

The exchange students never made it to breakfast. Neither did Hermione. I got the feeling she'd stayed with the exchange students. She was really warming up to them. I got to overhear an interesting conversation between Ron and Ginny. 

"So Ron, you remember when George had the Marauders' Map?" 

"Yeah, why?" 

"Well, I knew about it my first year. George showed it to me one night because he saw that there was a man named Peter Pettigrew in your bed. If you think about it, that went on for three years." Ginny began to laugh. Ron's face contracted in fear. Hermione was still nowhere to be seen. I get that though. Divination was now mandatory. And boy was that a nightmare. 

In Divination, Hermione is with those exchange students, meaning she has to work with one of them. And the second they walk in the door, Trelawney begins predicting their deaths. All of them, Hermione excluded. And they laugh. Most of the deaths are serious, but they laugh. 

"Perseus Jackson, you will drown. Jason Grace, you will fall. Thalia Grace, you will be struck by lightning. Hazel Levesque, you will die in poverty, Nicolo DiAngelo, you will be killed by your father, Annabeth Chase, you will die of an olive allergy, Leo Valdez, you will burn to death, Piper McLean, you will be killed because your face will become too ugly to behold. Frank Zhang, Clarisse LaRue, and Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano, you will all die in a war. Will Solace, you will die of a sunburn that has gotten too severe." This was apparently too much for them, They laughed right away. They turned to each other and began to lean against each other for support. The only one not laughing was Nico, but he was grinning. 

"'Perseus Jackson you will drown' oh that's a good one Ha!" Percy said. Once they had managed to control themselves, they took their seats. Everyone was staring at them. Hermione didn't sit with us, she sat with Clarisse. I heard Piper whisper to Jason.

"As if mom would ever let me be ugly," she said. 

"And it's not like I can fall far enough to even break a leg," Jason replied. I wondered what he meant by that or what Piper's mum had to do with anything. 

We suffered through palm reading. Trelawney told Hazel and Leo that they were already dead. I rolled my eyes. Also, apparently Nico was going to die next week, according to her. The kid looked like he was in good health but Trelawney insisted that he was around 90 years old. I was almost glad to go to History of Magic. And then I wasn't.
