Delia's POV-

I couldn't get what happened last night out of my mind. It was like hidden feelings for Harry came out and it scared me.

"Delia are you ok?" Hermione asked. I looked at her, "Yea I'm fine," I said and she looked at me quizzically, but nodded and we walked to Divination and walked quietly to the table where Harry and Ron sat.

I sat beside Ron, because I knew Harry was going to ask what happened and I could feel him staring at me.

"Broaden your minds, you must look beyond," Trelwaney said and I looked down at the crystal ball which was filled with fog, "The art of crystal gazing is in the clearing of the Inner Eye."

I shook my head and looked and saw Ron alseep, "Only then can you see, try again," she said to someone. "What do we have here?" She asked getting in between me and Hermione.

I elbowed Ron and he woke up. "Do you mind me trying?" Me and Hermione asked at the same time. Trelwaney nodded, "The Grim," we said, "possibly." Trelwaney looked at us and grabbed our hands.

"My dears, the moment you two stepped foot in my class, I sensed you two did not possess the proper spirit for the noble art of Divination," she said looking at our palms, "No, you see there."

She pointed to spots on our palms, "You may be young in years, but your heart is as shriveled as an old maids, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperatly cleave."

She looked at us and I glared at her and pulled my hand from her's while Hermione did the same and I stood up and grabbed my bag.

I walked down and saw Hermione knock the crystal ball off it's stand and when we walked out I heard people mumbling about what happened.

"That old hag," I said as we waited by the door, "saying our hearts are as shriveled as an old maids and souls as dry as the pages in books, ugh."

We talked about that a little more on that subject, "Delia is something wrong with you?" Hermione asked. I sighed and wondered if I should tell her. I decided I would, but the bell rang.

"I'll tell you later," I said and ran to go find the several people I could tell, well that was here at Hogwarts, Lupin and Cedric, I would tell my mum, but she's not here.

Harry's POV-

"They've gone mental," Ron said as we walked down the steps, "Hermione and Delia has, not that they wasn't always mental, but now it's in the open for everyone to see."

I saw the ball Hermione had knocked off the table, "Hang on," I said and picked it up, "We better take this back." "I'm not going back," Ron said. I sighed, "Fine, see you later."

"See you," he said and I walked up the steps and when I walked in it was empty. I looked around and sat the crystal ball on her desk when it started glowing.

I looked at it and saw Sirius Black's face inside saying, "Harry Potter," in this mystical type of whisper. I looked closer, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned around and saw, "Professor Trewlaney," I said. "He will return tonight," she said in this weird voice and gripped my shoulder.

"Sorry?" I said confused. "Tonight he who betrayed his friends, whose heart rots with murder shall break free," she said and I looked at her shocked and somewhat scared, 'Is she having a real prediction?' "Innocent blood shall be spilt and servant and master shall be reunited once more," she said in that same weird voice then she coughed and came back to normal.

She turned to me, "Oh, dear boy did you say something?" She asked me. "No," I said moving slowly towards the door, "Nothing."

I turned and walked as fast as possible out and when I got to the door I ran out and down the steps looking for Delia, Ron and Hermione.

"Remus you can't go yelling at him," I heard Mrs. Diggory say. "He had the map Rose," Lupin said, "If Sirius got ahold of it, Harry could be in real danger."

"Remus the Ministry is going to find him and Harry will be safe," Mrs. Diggory said, "You and Delia don't need to worry."

'Delia,' I thought. "Potter what are you doing?" I heard someone ask and I turned and saw Cedric. "I-uh," I said not really knowing what to say.

"Harry," I heard a woman say and I turned and saw Mrs. Diggory, "You found me." "Mum," Cedric said. "I told Harry to meet me at Remus' office, so I could tell him about his parents," Mrs. Diggory said.

"Of course mum," Cedric said then turned and walked away. I turned and Mrs. Diggory was smiling, "Delia sent me a letter saying you wanted to know more on your parents," she said as we walked.

"Yea," I said, "I know you went to school with my parents, and my mum and you were best friends and still was after school, and how you went to school with Sirius Black as well, and I already know he's my godfather and he went and betrayed my parents."

"Harry no need to hurry into the questions," she said smiling at me, "I am happy to answer any question's and I was in the waiting room when you were born just to tell you."

I could feel heat rising to my cheeks, "but I was there when they said Sirius would be your godfather," she said.

"What was my parents like back in school?" I asked. She gave a small laugh, "Well James he was a troublemaker, lets put it that way," she said smiling, "but from what Delia told me, you have the same passion he had when it came to Qudditch."

I smiled, "Lily though," she said, "She was like Hermione, she paid attention in class, did her homework, got perfect grades on her O.W.L's and all-in-all your parents were the complete opposite."

I looked at her, "Then in about our 6th year James started to mature, and not flirt so much with Lily like he used to," she said smiling and I smiled, "Your mother and father were great people Harry, they were my best friends."

We stopped walking and she got in front of me, "Harry your parents were the strongest people I ever met, don't let what people say about your father change how the people that were close to him told you about him," she said, "Don't let Severus' words get to you and I know for a fact your father didn't strut he more like ran because he did something and a teacher found out."

I smiled and we started walking again, "Delia would kill me if I told you this, but you and her are like Lily and James," she said.

I felt heat rise to my cheeks and I looked down at the ground, "Your parents would be so proud of you Harry," she said.

"Mum I need to talk to you about H..." Delia said running over to us then stopped. "Oh hi Harry," Delia said, "Did you get to know more about your parents?"

"Yea," I said. We stood there in an awkward silence, "What did you need to talk about darling?" Mrs. Diggory asked.

"Well I wanted some advice on something that doesn't come from my brother or Remus," she said blushing. I smiled, "Well what is it?" Her mum asked and I had this weird feeling she knew what it was about and was pushing her to say it.

"Well I know someone that has just realized she might have feelings for someone that she didn't notice before until now," she said looking at the ground, "and the person I know doesn't really want to believe in the feelings she has for the person, because she doesn't want to ruin anything."

"Well," her mum said, "I have to help your father at work, but I'll send a letter to you." Delia nodded her head and her mum walked away after hugging us both and her telling me to write her anytime and how she's happy to help.

"Delia can I talk to you about last night?" I asked her. "I think I see my brother waving me over," she said, "We can talk later I promise."

She ran off and I looked at her, "Ok," I said and I just really needed to talk to her about not just last night, but about what Professor Trewlaney said.

I sighed and walked up to Gryffindor Tower and waited for Delia, 'Please don't let her be avoiding me?'
