In your dreams you heard barking, a dog, same barking as the night Sirius Black escaped... you see the black cloaked figures that guarded your cells how much you feared them and how powerless you became away from Sirius.

You woke up terrified. Bay and Alli were asleep it was barley dawn. You shook your head and got ready for the day leaving early. You had Divination today, you hoped it'd be somewhat interesting.

************************

You take your seat at an empty table beside Harry and Ron. You were the only one without a partner and you really didn't care, you just wanted to get through the class.

"Welcome my children, soon you shall explore the noble art of Divination, in this room you shall discover if you posses the sight," She says getting up and walking blindly into her table making a few students laugh.

"I am professor Trelawney, together we shall cast ourselves into the future." She says shaking excitedly.

"This term we shall be focusing on Tessomancy, which is the art of reading tea leaves – please take a cup of the person sitting opposite to you." You have no one sitting opposite to you.

You notice Hermione near Ron and Harry as Harry and Ron ask her when she got there. You maybe didn't notice when she got in but it seemed rather odd. You offer her to sit with you and she takes you up on your offer and exchanges cups with you.

"You see truth lies buried like a sentence deep within a book, waiting to be read. But first you must broaden your minds, you must look beyond."  She says touching Seamus's head; you snicker at the boy's confusion.

"You boy, is your grandmother quite well?" She says moving to Neville.

"Uh... I think so..." Neville says nervously.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that. Give me the cup, give me the cup..." Trelawney says. Poor Neville It's always him isn't it?

"Oh... dear." She says leaving the cup. Neville grabs iit quickly and looks in confusion.

"Broaden your minds." She reminds anyone.

"You girl, let me see your cup." She says to you, you show her and she looks at Hermione.

"It says you'll have great happiness... Good luck too." Trelawney says looking into the cup. She quickly faces you again.

"You... your aura is different... colder, more still, quite odd... lets see your cup?" She asks Hermione for your cup.

Hermione shows her you cup and she gasps.

"A Skull... and a sun... and a club...You have danger in your path... there'll be an attack, and great happiness... you'd do best to be careful of your next moves... it says to be recent." She warns to which you and Hermione roll your eyes. She moves on to Ron.

"Oh, your aura is pulsing dear are you in the beyond I think you are!" She says overly dramatically.

"Sure." Ron says trying to avoid conversation.

"The cup, tell me what you see."  Trelawney demands.

"Harry's got sort of a wonky cross that's Trials and suffering, that there could be the sun, so that's happiness so, you're gonna suffer but you're gonna be happy about it..." Ron explains looking at Harry.

"Give me the cup... OH! Oh!" Trelawney holds the cup for only a moment before she quickly puts it down on the book and backs up.

"My dear, you have the grim..."
