Beauty and the Beast (Remus Lupin)

2.

The next day at breakfast Pansy from the Slytherins table was making fun of Harry along with Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle.

"Potter! Potter!" Pansy called out. The four of them looked over.

"Look! A dementor!" She gasped as a joke.

"Pansy! Pansy! Mind shutting up?" Rose fought back.

"Forget it..." Harry turned around.

"And she speaks!" Pansy laughed.

Rose stood up, "and she also kicks-"

"Now girls, keep it clean if you're going to argue." Professor Lupin walked by.

Rose sat back down, "If I hear that mistake of a woman speak one more time..."

"Easy! Easy, it'll be alright. Maybe we should go to Divination." Ron said.

They all grabbed their bags and walked over to a ladder while losing Hermione along the way. "A ladder?" Rose asked looking up.

Ron and Rose shared a look before turning towards Harry, "after you." Ron said.

"Yes, yes. We insist." Rose said.

Harry hesitantly climbed up, then Ron, and then Rose followed behind. The room was filled with circular tables with two seats each. There was darkness with a bit of light shining through as an awful perfume smell filled the room and the heat soared throughout it.

After a few minutes of being alone with no one else besides fellow students, a woman walked in. She had puffy hair and giant glasses that imaged as binoculars.

Though Professor Trelawney was surly a sight to see, Rose lost interest in what she was talking about right away.

If she was being honest, Divination was her least exciting class all year.

Then she heard the familiar Hermione scoff which caused her to jump and drop her books, "Hermione!" Rose whispered as she bent down to grab her books.

"It's humiliating that this is even a class. Tea leaves? Palm readings? Looking into a ball?" She laughed.

"It's whatever Hermione. I mean, she likes the topic, she likes to teach. Why not?" Rose shrugged.

"Why do I even bother. You're always defending people."

"At least I give them a chance..."

"Fine. But if it gets ridiculous then I'm leaving."

"No one will stop you, honey."

Hermione smiled, "Thank you."

"Now that you've all finished your tea, switch with the person at your table and read what you see." Trelawney said.

Hermione and Rose switched as Ron and Harry, who were sitting next to them, switched their cups.

"What do you see?" Trelawney asked.

Hermione was trying to concentrate but Harry and Ron were talking loudly about suffering but enjoying it.

"Um...I see a apple which means good luck...and an angel which means you'll get good news..." Hermione said.

"Let me take a look." Trelawney held out her hands and Hermione gave her the cup.

"Ah! Yes! Indeed...You're wrong." Trelawney walked to show Rose, "see, right there is a heart and a knot. You'll be in love in the near future but you'll be extremely stressed and anxious about it...I see it now. Yes. I see it now." Trelawney put the cup down and a hand on Rose's shoulder with her eyes shut, "oh my dear, you're going to fall for someone very hard. You're stressed because you're far too young...you know you can't have him. Yet at least. Oh my dear, I'm sorry." She then walked away.
