A True Seer

by Pelahnar

Sybill Trelawney is not what you might think. She's smart, she's cunning - she went to Slytherin and belonged there. But most important of all, she knew things. She had information that she trusted with no one during the war. But now, it's time to share.

1. My Story

My name is Sybill Trelawney.

I am the Divination teacher at Hogwarts and I have been for the past 18 years.

Despite my reputation as a fraud, I am a true Seer.

I am the Seer that foretold the coming of the Dark Lord, the one who named himself Voldemort.

I am the Seer who prophesied his return to power four years ago.

I am the Seer who – though I told no one, not even Harry Potter – predicted the end of the war this summer.

This is my story, which until now, none but me has ever known.

A/N: This is an idea that's been tickling the back of my mind for a few months now. I shouldn't start another story right now, I know, when I'm supposed be working on There Was a Girl but...I wanted to see how something like this would be received. (This is the prologue, by the way, the rest of the chapters will be longer.)

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is not mine. Neither is Sybill Trelawney.
