Everything was quiet in the great hall as everyone was eating Breakfast. Professor Trelawney walked in through the staff door and up to her usually vacant chair.
"Sybill what brings you to the great hall" professor Dumbledore said eyes twinkling more so than usual
"My inner eye tells me it is a good day to eat here" she said taking her seat as the owl post arrived a school barn owl dropped a medium box in front of her
At the Gryffindor table Hermione granger smirked getting strange looks from the surrounding Gryffindor
"What up Hermione" Harry asked looking between her and the head table
"Ya you have that really scary look on your face" Ron said through mouthfuls of food
"Just watch" she said keeping her eyes on the head table
Professor Trelawney slowly opens the box in front of her lifting of the top she was shocked lifting up a small black orb with an 8 on the top of it
A muggle born girl at the Ravenclaw table saw the orb and started to laugh. Everyone in the hall looked at her and tried to see what was so funny. Throughout the hall muggles saw the black orb in Professor Trelawney hand and started to laugh. Even the muggles studies teacher started to laugh and after getting weird looks from the other teacher he explained.
"It's a magical eight ball." He announced "Muggles ask it questions and it replies with either a yes, no, maybe, or ask again later. A muggle kind of divinations." He said breaking out laughing again
Professor Trelawney dropped the ball and looked into the box seeing a note "10 times more effective than divinations." She scowled looking up at the laughing student as other teachers started to muffle their own laughs, even Professor Snape had a nasty smirk on his face.
"You did this I know you did" she said narrowing her eyes on Hermione.
Hermione looked from Professor Trelawney back to her food and continued eating with a satisfied smile on her face.
