You're Not Alone-Hermione Granger(Currently Editing)

Thirty-Five

After figuring out Harry had the Grim as well, everyone's eyes were on Harry and Summer. During Transfiguration class, everyone kept looking over at Harry as if he'd drop dead at any moment. Everyone except Juniper considering this lesson was interesting and she did not want to think about her best friend dying or her friend.

So, instead, she kept her focus on McGonagall who was teaching them about Animagi which were wizards who could transform into animals. Juniper smiles widely as McGonagall shapeshifts into a cat. When she changes back though, she stops the lesson, having taken notice of the mood as well.

"Really, what has got into you all today? Not that it matters, but that's the first time my transformation's not got applause from a class. The only one who's been paying attention is Miss Rosewood" everyone looks over at Juniper who shrinks under their gaze. Their attention doesn't stay on her for long though as they turn to look at Harry.

"Please, Professor, we've just had our first Divination class, and we were reading tea leaves, and-" Hermione starts explaining. Juniper could tell the girl wasn't a big fan of the subject or the teacher. Not to mention the teacher said Hermione didn't have much of an aura to begin with which really set Hermione off. The girl didn't believe in the subject.

"Ah, of course. There is no need to say any more, Miss Granger. Tell me, which of you will be dying this year?" McGonagall frowns. "Me" Harry chimes in. "And Summer Myrtle" Juniper brings up with a frown. "I see." McGonagall turns to look at Harry. "Then you should know, Potter, and Miss Rosewood, you can tell Miss Myrtle this too, that Sybil Trelawney has predicted the death of one student a year since she arrived at this school."

"None of them has died yet. Seeing death omens is her favorite way of greeting a new class. If it were not for the fact that I never speak Ill of my colleagues- Divination is one of the most imprecise branches of magic. I shall not conceal from you that I have very little patience with it. True Seers are very rare, and Professor Trelawney...." She trails off, not wanting to say anything bad about the woman but from her tone, Juniper knew what she meant which put her mind at ease. Because if that was the case, then Summer was safe after all.

"You look in excellent health to me, Potter, so you will excuse me if I don't let you off homework today. I assure you that if you die, you need not hand it in." Hermione laughs and Juniper smiles at the girl beside her. That seemed to convince a lot of people but a few. There was still that voice in the back of Juniper's mind though that kept telling her the fortunes were true but she decides to push it to the back of her mind.

Juniper was bouncing in excitement as they headed to their first Care of Magical Creatures Class. She walks down to Hagrid's hut, Draco walking beside her as he talked with Crabbe and Goyle. After a little bit though, Draco sends them ahead, leaving the two alone. They walk in silence for a few before Draco finally turns to look at her.

"I've been a real jerk, haven't I?" "You could say that" Juniper nods, keeping her eyes trained forward as Hagrid's hut starts to come into view. "I'm sorry, June. Really I am" He says as Juniper sends him a disbelieving glance. "It's just, you know how I am with Potter, and when Neville told me he fainted, I couldn't help but find it funny. I had another way to tease him."

"And then someone else brought up that you did too, and I had to go along with it. But, it was the wrong move. I shouldn't have done that to you. I should have checked to make sure you were okay. Lucas told me what happened" Draco explains. "What did he tell you?" She raises an eyebrow at him. "He said you heard a girl screaming in pain. And according to what you told him, they go after people with bad memories." Draco brings up and she nods.

"If anything like that happens again, I'll be there for you. Okay? Can you forgive me?" Draco gives her his puppy dog eyes and she scoffs "I can see what Lucas and Summer have to deal with when I do that" "So is that a yes?" Draco asks. "Yes, you idiot" She shoves him as the two laugh. "But, if you do something like that again, I won't easily forgive you" She warns. "Got it" He nods.
