Another Constellation

Another Constellation

So there is another constellation in the sky, but who would have guessed which stars she's made up of? Around 8 years after Harry and his friends graduated. He's married, so is Ron and Hermione, Neville's running the Hogwarts greenhouse and Luna is helping out. But one dark moonlit night a dark figure with heavy lidded eyes appeared on the doorstep of the Potter's household.

One with a key to the future.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Cassiopeia spoke in a soft, fervent voice

"She who predicted the death of his sire,

the death of the unaccredited seer

he thinks is needed and he will cause

so his end will not be predicted any year"

Cassiopeia slumped back onto the couch in a faint.

The four of them sat next to the unconscious figure and looked at each other.

"What just happened?" asked Ginny.

Hermione's face was pensive for a while as the group looked to her for explanation, seeing as she was the smart one. She thought for a minute or two until she got it. The rest of them leaned in when they saw the light go on in Hermione's mind.

"I think I know what happened." Said Hermione to Harry, Ron and Ginny. "You know haw she said her mother was Christine Charles? Well Christine Charles was a rather good seer and was well known for her eyes to change colour when she was prophesizing. I bet that she passed on her gift to her daughter, which means that Mrs Morte here is a seer."

"So what did she predict?" asked Ginny curiously.

Hermione thought another moment and then replied, "'She who predicted the death of his sire, the death of the unaccredited seer' was the first two lines. I think she is referring to Professor Trelawney who is never given credit as a seer even though she predicted Voldemort's downfall. Then the next two lines, 'he thinks is needed and he will cause so his end will not be predicted any year,' probably means Morte is going to kill Professor Trelawney so she can't predict his death. If it isn't predicted, he must think there is less chance of it happening."

Harry stared at her in confusion like Ginny and Ron. "What?" They asked simultaneously.

Hermione smacked her head with her hand in frustration. "You silly twits, can't you understand anything I say? I said he wants to kill Trelawney. Short enough?"

The other three nodded.

Ginny stepped towards the unconscious Cassiopeia. She leant over her and pointed her wand at the woman. "Enervate" said Ginny. Cassiopeia's eyes fluttered, the irises back to their previous royal blue. She put her hand to her forehead confused.

"What just happened?" asked Cassiopeia in a waveringly woozy voice. "I saw some weird poem floating in my mind, something about an unaccredited seer and death." Ginny put her hand lightly on the black haired woman's shoulder.

"You made a prediction. Like your mother Christine Charles," Hermione said. "You're a seer, didn't you know that?"

Cassiopeia shook her head. "I always get dizzy spells but they've never had poetry involved."

Ginny and Hermione helped stand Cassiopeia up and walked her towards the kitchen. "Don't worry, you're going to be fine. And the prediction you made was very helpful. We know your husband is going to try and kill Professor Trelawney."

"I still don't get why Morte would want to kill Trelawney. She may have made one or two good prophecies but overall she's a fraud." Said Hermione sceptically.

"Come on Hermione," said Harry, "If Trelawney made one prediction, it doesn't mean she can't make another."

Hermione sighed and walked into the kitchen, Ron following. "Well Mrs. Cassiopeia. No matter what you predict, you still need something to eat, you look famished."

Ginny grabbed a bowl and her wand. "I'll make up some pie!" sounding very much like her mother. A few minutes later the woman was sitting in the Potter kitchen being watched by the four ex-Gryffindors as she nibbled on a piece of pumpkin pie.

Harry took Hermione aside as the red-heads got into an argument about Ron having some pie.

"Hermione, isn't it a little strange how she looks so much like Sirius." Said Harry.

Hermione looked at the thin woman, "I see a slight resemblance but she's sure to be more related to Bellatrix. Any child of Sirius' would not marry any son of Voldemort. Why are we even wondering about her bloodlines, the point is that she knows some very helpful information." Said Hermione, sounding exactly like she did back in first year: all book, no experience.

Harry stared at Cassiopeia, while Hermione returned to the table.

When Cassiopeia finished eating Ginny suggested everyone get some sleep, otherwise they would not have any energy to do anything about the problem in the morning. So Hermione and Ron went to the guest room, Harry went up to his bedroom and Ginny set up a little space on the backroom couch for Cassiopeia.

And so they all slept, getting prepared for whatever they might face in the morning.

OoOoOoOoOoO

So what do you think Harry + Ginny + Hermione +Ron + Cassiopeia should do about the unfortunate problem of Mr. Morte? Will Cassiopeia discover who her ancestry is? Will my readers give me 50+ reviews??
