harry's girl

the grim

"Welcome, my children. In this room, you shall explore the mysterious art of Divination. In this room, you shall discover if you possess.." the thick glasses sitting on Professor Trelawney's face zoom into all of our faces as she glided across the room. Harry looks back at Y/N with a confused look on his face, and she shrugs back. She hadn't have been able to get what happened last night out of her head. Although it could me something... She told herself it was nothing and continued to try and push it out of her mind.

"...The sight. Hello. I am Professor Trelawney. Together, we shall cast ourselves into the future. But know this. One either had the gift or not. It cannot be divined from the pages of a book. Books only cloud one's Inner Eye." The somewhat out of her mind teacher stares straight at a table where a frightened Neville is shaking. Y/N can't help but be fascinated with this subject. The art of Divination has intrigued her since a young age but she couldn't exactly express her excitement before she was interrupted by a snarl.

"What rubbish." Hermione mutters under her breath. Y/N has to do a double take before realizing Hermione had basically appeared out of thin air.

Ron scoffs, "Where'd you come from??" One of his eye brows is raised, which is an indicator he is very confused. Harry and Y/N discovered it in first year when they were studying for their final exams, which Ron did as well as he studied. Hermione pulls her books out "Me? I've been here all along." She lifts her chin away from Ron showing she's done with the subject. Harry didn't pay too much attention to Hermione's sudden appearance since he was busy watching Trelawney, but again Y/N just couldn't figure out how Hermione entered. She began to suspect Hermione of taking Harry's invisibility cloak but shook it off as she hears a yelp.

"You, boy! Is your grandmother well?" Trelawney shoots her finger at Neville. His face erupts with fear as he stutters out an "I- I think so."  Trelawney tisks her tongue with a slight head shake, "I wouldn't be too sure of that." Y/N swears she sees Hermione roll her eyes so far she almost fell out of her chair. Trelawney begins to tramble on about this term and what they're focusing on as Harry fidgets with his fingers. He's not been able to focus lately due to... circumstances. His mind is almost in a whole other reality until the teacher interrupts, once again.

"Broaden your minds, my dears. And allow your eyes to see... beyond." Trelawney dances over to the quartets table. "What do you see in Mr. Potters cup, Mr. Weasley?" Ron quickly scrambles his hands over to the cup. As he frantically flips through the pages of their book, Y/N glances to a mesmerized Hermione. Y/N hits her leg and Hermione snaps out of it, whispering "If you tell anyone, I'll hex you" and Y/N puts her hands up surrendering with a big smile.

Ron mumbles out a jumble of words before he looks up to Harry with a puzzled look, "So...he's going to suffer but be very happy about it." All Harry can get out is a sympathetic sigh for what his best friend tried before the cup is thrown at back at him followed by a huge gasp and a stumbling Professor. Parvati whispered, "What is it, Professor?" Everyone starts turning their heads to one another and pages loudly flip. Seamus mutters a stupid questions but Parvati quickly snaps back at him.

"The Grim...Taking the form of a giant spectral dog, it is among the darkest omens in our world. It is an omen... of death." Bem shifts his eyes over to Harry's face, with everyone following. Harry picks up his cup, confused, until the leaves move to form something else but he quickly puts it down before he can display his reaction...

The quartet finally left Divination with a groaning Hermione, "Death omens. Honestly. If you ask me, Divination's a very wooly discipline. Now Ancient Runes. That's a fascinating subject." Ron is quick to retort on how many classes she is taking but Harry is dazing out. He can't get what he say out of his head. It was the animal he had seen that night he ran away, the black animal. It showed up in the cup right before his eyes. Y/N noticed Harry's trouble in his own mind, but decided to not mention it until the Divination loather was far away from them.

Y/N grabbed Harry's wrist trying to show support but Harry can't seem to process it. He turns a bright red and gives Y/N a slight smirk before looking straight to the ground again.

Harry has had so much going on, he couldn't tell what was happening with his own emotions. Recently Y/N just made him feel different. She was still his best friend but now everything she did to him knotted up his insides. But he couldn't focus on this, not right now. For Godric's sake he was just marked with the grim! And not to mention the notorious Sirius Black was out to kill him. He knew Y/N, how she was a fierce fighter for what she believed in. He knew he could trust in her but right now he better not bother her with this. After all it's his own problem

"Did I do something wrong?" She grumbles so only she can hear herself. Y/N can't stop beating herself up in her head. She was only showing her support but he kinda pushed her off. She knew he was having a rough time but, was she really that bad? She didn't care if he pushed her off, she knew something was there. She was determined to help him either way so with the gleam in her eye, she moved her hand from his wrist to his hand and looked straight down to her feet too.

A flame erupted inside Harry's face. What had just happened??? Why was he feeling like this? He was the most confused he had been before, but he couldn't help but smile.
