I enter the Divinations classroom, and finding myself a nice cushion to sit on. The class size is tiny, only three other students. We sit and wait as the professor pours us all some tea. Requesting we all read from our text books then do some crystal ball gazing.
Looking into the depths of the crystal ball I see the images take shape.
I'm in a hospital ward, with a large group of people siting waiting. A tall man in long black robes paces along the waiting room. I move inside a room with a woman screaming. She lays on a bed her feet up, she has long blonde hair and sweet loving silvery grey eyes. Her face stretched in pain. "Keep going, you can make it." Urges a woman with long brown hair, who could be a younger Hermione. She stands holding the screaming woman's hand.
"I can't, I can't... Make it stop." The woman cries out in pain, chilling me to the bone. After a good twenty minutes the woman slumps on the bed and a baby's screams fill the room. The mother lays resting and the brown haired woman takes the child holding it carefully.
"Luna, she's beautiful... A healthy girl... But Luna she's different..." The woman on the bed looks up in alarm at this comment. "Not a bad different.. She's Albino." The brown haired woman gently bathes the child, then wrapping it in a blanket holds it close to Luna.
Luna smiles and bends placing a small kiss to the babe's head. "My angel, Jezzika... Jezzika Ann... Ann was my mother's name you know." Luna lays quietly on the bed closing her eyes, drifting into a deep healing sleep.
The crystal ball clouds over a moment then things become clear on a different scene.
The woman named Luna, holding her toddler tightly. It's just like my dream. The toddler cries out holding tight as the man comes, his long black hair silky and she hold it in her little hand, his eyes as dark as the night around us. Looking to her mother she cries out to her. And the man hurries her down stairs and out the building. With another man, who looks a lot like Professor Malfoy, follows the man and small child. The man quickly passes his burden on to someone in a boat. The boat full of young children. The boat takes off down stream. It eventually stopping at a dock. The adults on the boat quickly empty it of children and send them up the path to a safe house. The boats people turn around and go back to the school to collect more people.
Again the crystal ball fogs over and I sit in tears. The professor comes over and sits with me. "I... I'm a Seer... The past mostly.."
The professor nods, "I know, your third eye is quiet large... Your past is painful for you. It haunts you. What did you see? Do you know what it meant?"
"I think it's about my birth mother... I finally know what she looks like... I... need a walk..." I get up from my cushion leaving the room in a rush, barely allowing myself time to pick up my things. My long staff in one hand I hurry downstairs and out the main doors.
The grounds are mostly empty as I walk about trying to gather my thoughts. Was that really my mom? I know I'm adopted but... Could I have been a child from the war? A war that lasted six years. A battle that seemed to go on forever. Was I one of the many orphans from that war? Is my mother still alive? Did she look for me? All I know is her name... Luna.. I come to a stop in front of a massive lake. Theirs a plot of graves near by. Two clearly marked graves, one 'Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, August, 1881–June, 1997, To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.' This grave has many flowers and is well kept. The second grave one small wilted bunch of flowers, and also well kept but not as much as the first. 'Severus Tobius Snape, January, 1960 – May, 1998, the bravest man I ever knew." A smile I conjure fresh flowers and tidy the grave. There, fit for a war hero..
I place my bag down and shrink my staff. Looking up to the sky I take a deep breath. I'm a Bird, pretty bird... I take flight as I shift into the form of a bird. Flying over the school with great speed. Looking about my surroundings. If only I could stay a bird forever. The bell sounds for lunch and I swoop back down to my bag and pick it up with my feet. Now I'm glad I put a weightless charm on it. Flying into the building and towards the Great Hall. Just before the doors I land on the stairs. I'm me, I'm a human... Two legs no wings.. Transfiguring into a human again I pick up my bag off the floor, enlarge my staff and walk gracefully into the Great Hall.
A morning fly and my first class, leave me feeling tired. I sit down and fill my plate with all sorts of food I've never tried. Starting with a pie I eat away. Pouring myself some coffee with a spell. I barely notice as Scorpius, Flint and Lastrange sit down around me. My hunger makes them look at me odd a moment and I ignore it.
"So.. Potions next, your in my class right Jezzie?" I swallow my mouthful of food and look up at the speaker. Flint grins an almost evil grin.
"I am..." I move myself so I'm practically in Scorpius's lap. "I have potions then I need to visit the library..." Scorpius is grinning widely as if he'd just single-handedly landed the Quiddich Cup. Finishing my plateful to the amazement of the guys, down my coffee and pour another cup. "You have fun with Runes?" The guys give no real response.
I get up ready to head to class and leave before to many of the others notice. The whole Hall now filled with students.
