Hi guys! Wherever you are in the world, I hope you're safe from the coronavirus. Obviously we're all scared and the way I deal with stress is to write so yay to finally doing an update! Like I said I'm always open to comments and messages. Wattpad is a cool place to meet some readers and writers (over chatroom I don't meet strangers in person lol)  and I'd love a distraction so feel free to say hi or whatever! Thanks! 

"Get up. Get up." Susan shakes me awake the next morning. "We overslept." she says clearly in a panic. 

The girls and I rush to get our robes on and we all now wear a little bit of makeup - nothing too fancy just concealer and mascara and usually a bit of lip gloss or pink chapstick. 

The 4 of rush down the stairs in an attempt to make it to Divination class with Professor Trelawney. She always seemed like a nut job, if you ask me.

"We made it." Susan says pulling out her watch. 7:59 am. Hannah grabs my arm. "I don't think I'm gonna make it." she leans over hands on her knees, out of breath. We enter the classroom, which is practically the attic. I've never been in before. It is decorated with lots of tapestry and table cloths. Teapots and teacups and crystal balls line the walls. We decide to sit up high, far away from the front, much to Susan's dismay. 

"In this room, you shall explore the mysterious art of Divination. In this room, you shall discover if you possess the Sight. Hello. I am Professor Trelawney." 

"Lottie." Hannah whispers. I shoot her a look. "Don't even say it." This woman was nuts already. I am not going to let my friends compare me to her. 

"The Truth lies buried like a sentence within a book, waiting to be read. But first you must broaden your minds." She nears Dean and Seamus's table. She puts her whole hand on Seamus's head, making him look very uncomfortable. "You must look BEYOND."   

Anna looked over at me. She was completely unaware of my conversation with the girls last night. She rolled her eyes at Trelawney and I smirked. But then I have to take a deep breath. I have a pit in my stomach about keeping a secret from her. 

Truthfully I may need this class to help her. 

"AHH AHHH You have the Grimm." she says to Harry Potter. "What's the Grimm?" Seamus asks. "Well obviously nothing good." Susan says sarcastically. That sends all 3 of us into giggles that we bite down on to be polite. 

"The Grimm, taking form of a black dog, is one of the darkest omens in our world." a Gryffindor boy reads. "It is an omen of death." 

My hands shake a bit. "Well that's morbid." Hannah whispers. 

Suddenly, Anna reaches for her cup but Susan quickly covers it. "I'll look first yeah?" Anna nods. I reach for Hannah's hand. I'm strangely nervous. Susan takes Anna's cup and looks quickly. "You don't have it." she sighs in relief. 

We all sigh in relief. This class is going to be interesting. 


Next we said goodbye to Susan, so she could go to her advanced class. Then we walked to Hagrid's class. We met up with Luna on the walk. "I didn't know you were in this class." Hannah comments. Luna smiles. "Strange thing, magical creatures. They can be so misunderstood." 

I keep walking not thinking about this typical Luna weirdness.

"Do you only travel in a pack of 4?" a voice says from behind us. Anna and I turn around. "It's for good luck." Anna says smirking. 

The voice belongs to Justin Finch-Fletchley. Who seems to have the whole puberty thing down pat.
