Hogwarts at Last

three

The last class of the day was Divination with Professor Trelawney. I sat beside Luna, I scripted for her to be at Hogwarts this year even though it's third year. 

"Welcome my children. In this room, you shall explore the noble art of Divination. In this room, you shall discover if you poccess the sight," -Professor Trelawney stumbled over her desk and people giggled, "I am Professor Trelawney. Together we shall cast ourselves into the future! Today we will be reading through tea leaves. So please, switch cups with the person sitting opposite to you!" She gleamed. "But first, you must broaden your minds! You must look beyond!"

"What a load of rubbish." Hermonie suddenly appeared beside Ron and Harry at the table next to Luna and I. I was expecting for her to randomally show up because of the usage of her time turner. 

"Where did you come from?!" Ron asked in much confusion.

"Me? I've been here all this time." Responded Hermione. 

Ron rolled his eyes and lifted up the cup in front of him, trying to uncover what Harrys tea leaf read. Professor Trelawney gasped and pointed her arms to Ron. 

"Your aura is passing dear! Are you in the beyond? I think you are! Look at the cup! Tell me what you see!" Professor Trelawney squeaked and Ron looked frightened. 

"Oh, yeah uhm..well Harry's got sort of a wonky cross that shows him suffering and that there could be the sun, that's happiness. So uh," Ron looked to Harry, "your gonna suffer, but your gonna be happy about it."

"Give me the cup." Professor Trelawney reached out and Ron handed it to her. As soon as she looked at it she screamed and dropped the cup. It shattered on the ground. She appeared to be in much distress. Her entire body was shaking. "My dear, you have the grim." 

"What's the grim?" Seamus asked from behind me. I didn't even realize he was there!

"Taking form of a giant dog, it's among the darkest omens of our world, it's an omen of death." Neville read out from his textbook. 

The class were looking around at one another, whispering and staring. Harry was looking into the cup with panic. I wish that I could tell him that he would be okay. That no death was coming to him anytime soon. But I obviously couldn't, and if I could, he wouldn't believe me.

Classes were finished for the day and I was walking to the great hall with Hermione, Ron, and Harry for dinner.

"Bloody hell Harry. I wonder what that was all about in Divination. It can't be true. Professor Trelawney is a lunatic." 

"But what if it is true. What if it's about Sirius Black?" Harry replied. 

I almost forgot about Sirius Black and the rest of the plot for this year.

"Harry no. You can't think like that. Besides, Dumbledore wouldn't let him touch you. You're safe here at Hogwarts." Hermione attempted to reasure him.

"You still believe that?" I accidentally added in, "You still believe Hogwarts is safe?" 

"I-I. I'd like to hope so." She answered.

"Ouch!" We all looked to Ron, "The bloody rat bit me." 

Yet another part of the plot I forgot about. Peter Pettigrew.

I then noticed Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle walking towards us. I couldn't help but stare at Draco's perfect complexion, bleach blonde hair, and note the amount of inches taller he was than most of the students he passed. 

"What're you looking at?" He blurted as the space between us became almost non-existent. 

I wasn't expecting such a sarcastic remark from the boy who previously asked to meet me at the Astronomy Tower after dinner tonight. I should've known better though, it's Draco Malfoy. 

"Nothing special." I replied, surprised with my confidence, impressed by my quick come back. 

Draco looked at me with surprise, and he squinted with anger and possibly a hint of embarressment. 

"Sorry, did you not hear me? I wasn't checking you out or anything; you're not that fun to look at." I smiled and raised my eyebrows.

"I heard you Carson," Draco scoffed, "You might want to watch your tongue." 

Carson was my scripted last name, I almost forgot. I am Nova Carson.

"Or what? You'll tell your father?" I suddenly felt guilty for being so rude.

Draco activated a fake laugh. "My father can do horrible things to a person like you Carson. Just you wait and see. Come on." He waved his hand for Crabbe and Goyle to follow him. 

"Bloody hell. Malfoy got what he deserved." Ron said.

"You should've just ignored him." Hermione continued walking down the hall. 

"Someone's hangry." Ron frowned and rushed to catch up with her.

"I think it was brilliant." Harry nodded and smiled. His cheeks were also a little pink, but the temperature in here was a little warm which could be the blame.
