"Crystal-gazing requires that you clear the Inner Eye. Only then, will you... See. Oh my, what do we have here...? "Trelawney says making Mione roll her eyes.

"Here we go again. It's the Grim! It's the Grim"Mione  says

"My dear, from the moment you first arrived in my class, I sensed that you did not possess the proper spirit for the noble art of Divination. You may be young in years, but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shriveled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave"Trelawney says, Hermione starts to reply, but remarkably  seems incapable of a single word. Rising gracelessly, she exits, knocking her crystal ball to the floor.

"In late spring, one of our number will leave us forever!' You knew, Professor! You saw"Lavendar exclaims

"On these occasions, I take no joy in my gift, Miss Brown"Trelawney tells her

"I can't believe they're going to kill Buckbeak! It's too horrible"Mione says as we walk across the bridge

"just got worse"Harry says and  we see Draco along with Crabbe and Goyle, lurking within a grouping of monolithic menhirs, binoculars  in hand, spying on Hagrid, who stands in the pumpkin patch, tossing dead ferrets to Buckbeak before going into the hut

"Did you see the big, fat blubbering oaf?! Oh, this is going to be rich. Did I tell you, Father said I can keep the head"Draco says before he looks up and sees the four of us "Ah. Come to see the show?"Draco asks and I walk straight over to him

"You foul  loathsome evil little cockroach" I says as Draco stumbles back against a large stone, and I jab the tip of my wand under his nose.

"Lola ! No! He's not worth it"Ron says and I lower my wand making Draco laughs and smack. I punch him, putting him flat on his back before he leaps to his feet and runs, Crabbe and Goyle huffing and puffing behind.

"That felt good." I tell them before we make our  way down the slope and past Buckbeak, chewing on a ferret with idle satisfaction.

Hagrid stands by the window watching Buckbeak as me, Harry and Ron sit and Hermione makes tea."Look at 'em. Loves the smell o' the trees when the wind blows"Hagrid says to us

"I say we set him free"Harry says but Hagrid starts shaking his head

"They'd know I did it. And tha' would only get Dumbledore in trouble. Gonna come down, yeh know. Says he wants ter be with me when it .when it happens. Great man, Dumbledore"Hagrid says

"We'll stay with you too, Hagrid"Mione says

"Yeh will not! Think I wan' yeh seein' a thing like this! No. Yeh'll drink yer tea an' be off. But before yeh do I wan' ter see you an' Ron shake hands"Hagrid says and we all exchange a glance, then look to Hagrid "Thin' I haven' seen 'ow it's bin betw'n you two? Go on now."Reluctantly Mione and Ron extend their hands

"Good. Now then. Ron, I wan' ter see you give Hermione a hug"Hagrid says

"What!" Mione and Ron both exclaim

"Go on! You two've been at it all year. An' I'm sick o' it"Hagrid says and uncomfortably , Hermione and Ron step forward and perform perhaps the most awkward hug Hogwarts has ever seen."Crikey, tha's jus' abou' the most pathetic hug I e'er seen. But yeh did it, an' tha's wha' matters. There's jus' one other thing"Hagrid says

"I'm not kissing Fang if that's what you're thinking."Ron says in disgust as Hagrid turns and  takes  the lid from a flour tin and a little head, ears flecked with powder, emerges "Scabbers! You're alive" Ron says as he takes Scabbers from Hagrid
