Hogwarts, September 2nd 1975, Divination classroom
the students were all filing into the blood-red divination room. they were all talking loudly, especially four Gryffindor boys who were planning a welcome back prank on a certain unsuspecting Slytherin. These four boys were famous among not only the students but the proffesors as well, be it good fame or that of the bad variety. James Potter was the so-called leader of the group and Gryffindor Chaser, he had messy brown hair and hazel eyes with oval glasses. Sirius Black was the head prankster and a well-known womanizer, who had long wavy black hair and grey eyes. Remus Lupin was the both the brains and the heart of the group, he had dirty blonde hair and chocolate-brown eyes. and lastly there was Peter Pettigrew the sidekick and not to mention stomach of the group had mousy black hair and watery blue eyes. Together the four were known as The Marauders. They constantly gave trouble to the teaching staff and their fellow students usually steering clear of gryffindors and narrowing in on the slytherins, especially a certain hooked nosed boy. Severus the potions prodigy and favourite target of the marauders, he had long greasy black hair and black eyes.
The marauders were chatting among themselves trying to figure out a way to prank Severus or 'snivillus' as they refered to him, as a welcome back 'gift'. As they discussed the possibility, the new divination teacher walked in. She was a tall, thin woman who looked to be in her mid twenties with long curly black hair and violet eyes. She wore a beige full length dress with a slit that started at her left hip and opened outwards showing of her left leg. around her midsection was a tight brown leather bodice. around her waist were various golden chains . she wore black opaque tights and a blood-red shawl tied around her shoulders. she wore a blood-red scarf around her head with a white rose tucked into the not on the right side. she wore a large green feather in her left ear. she had on a blood red choker with a sleek ruby in the center. on her wrists she had on various golden bangles. on her feet were tight brown leather high healed boots.
"Hello class. I'm your new divination teacher, Kyria Hepsila." she said in a lyrical, smooth voice" there a two Creatures in the magical world that can correctly predict the future...The Centaurs and Gypsy, every few century the wizarding population is granted a seer, a witch or wizard that receives visions of the future and through which prophecys are made known to those who need to know. I am a Gypsy. Professor Dumbledore has asked me to come teach you ways of attempting to predict the future. In gypsy culture we look into our souls and cleanse them of all that negatively weighs us down."
She walked back towords her desk "to start the year of I was thinking of doing some soul enlighting" she took something out from under her desk, showing it to the class " this is a memoria sphaera " she said as she held it out to the class, it was a tiny crystal ball with black smoke in the inside. "in our culture we use many means of helping to enlighten our souls. You are not gypsys therefore we won't be using any of the normal means. Instead we'll use this" she gestured to the memoria sphaera" this is a type of pensive, you will put in your darkest secrets, your deepest fears, and scariest moments." from the corner she could see a young severus snape raise his hand "Yes Severus?"
"What use would this have? if we were to leave it around anyone could find it and use it as black mail" he said
"You have yet to let me to finish" she said with a sweet smile" We will be ataching these to magicaly inhanced muggle objects called baloons. A baloon flys high into the sky. the balloons that we will use once they reach a certain hight will forever be lost and will never be found. they will forever float higher and higher into the sky." She looked at a pocket watch she had looped around her waist with the other golden chains "Well, i'll give you each a memoria sphaera at the end of the class, for know I will give a few predictions in the purest of forms" she walked up to Lily Evans, a red-head girl with beautiful green eyes, she kneeled down infront of her. Kyria took Lilys hands in her own and gazed directly into the green eyes "my dear, you have a great love instore for you, keep an open heart and don't be afraind to wander from the path, after all what is life without risks, stop turning a blind eye and give he who loves you most a chance" Lily blushed and stubornly refused to look at a certain James Potter.
Kyria strode along the desks and stopped infront of the marauders sitting on the side of the table crossing her legs she gazed a long time at the four before finally speaking "look closely and carefuly consider who is friend and who is foe, this year awaits betrayal of a friend, and the discovery of a friend thought foe. keep an open eye and see if you can see the difference between who is really friend or foe. And remember sometimes you find love and friendship where you'd least expect" the marauder's were confused at this. What did she mean betrayal of a friend and the discovery of a friend thought foe?
Kyria walked towards Severus, she kneeled infront of him and took his hands in hers as she had done with Lily. She looked at him sadly before speaking " Your past has tormented you long enough. freedom from your inner darkness and suffering is located where you'd never think to look, in the most unexpected places you could think of. Love and frienship shall be your wings and you shall finally soar. Finally you will be able to put it all behind you and start anew, no longer a fallen angel." Severus' eyes went wide, and only one thought went through his head ~she knows!~
