Serenity woke with a start. "We have to go! You slept in!" Hermione yelled.
"Oh, I missed breakfast."
"Don't worry. I grabbed you two pieces of toast."
"Thanks," she said gratefully. Serenity got dressed and ran to Divination, which was, unfortunately, not only on the opposite side of the castle, but also with the Slytherins. She couldn't put up with Draco's antics right at the moment.
She entered just in time.
"All right. Today we shall begin palm reading," Trelawney's soft voice said. "I shall divide you into pairs."
The partners were perfect. Lavender and Parvati. Crabbe and Goyle. Pansy and Millicent. Ron and Hermione.
Serenity's partner wasn't so perfect. Draco Malfoy.
Serenity seized his hand and tried to interpret the lines. "It says you are...the most egotistical person I've ever met."
"I know you don't mean that, honey," he said silkily.
"Whoa! Honey? I don't think so."
"Whatever. Your turn."
"Fine." Serenity reluctantly held out her hand for him to take it. A light flashed then, black.
"Get back! Give her air."
"You shove off, Malfoy."
"Wha-" Serenity mumbled.
"She's waking up!"
"No kidding."
Serenity's eyes fluttered open to see the figure of Draco, then Harry, Hermione, and Ron, then everyone else. Trelawney pushed her way to the front.
"Are you ok?" Her usually airy voice had anxious worry in it.
"I-I think so."
"What happened?" the Professor asked.
"Uh-nothing. I - uh - just missed breakfast. That's all."
"But what about the-" Hermione was cut off by Serenity kicking her toe, of which, no one noticed.
"You should go to Madam Pomfrey's."
"No. I really am fine. I just need something to eat."
"Do you know how to get to the kitchens?" Professor Trelawney whispered.
Serenity nodded. "Good. Off you go." She ushered her out the door and Serenity grabbed a snack from Dobby and went back to her room until her next class.
She would never tell anyone what happened this time. She meant it.
In the flash of white light, Serenity had seen what she had seen on the day of the OWLs. Only, the picture was crystal clear. It was her kissing with an engagement ring on her finger. The person whom she was kissing was...Draco Malfoy?
