Chapter 10 - Foreseeing
The next day Luna spent her morning with Harry and his friends. They were sitting on the benches at the Quidditch field. There was fresh snow on the ground. Luna had a book open and was reading over so pages.
"What are you reading Luna?" Hermione asked
"My Divination book," Luna said flipping the page in the book.
"So who do you think is going to win in Quidditch and the house cup this year?" Hermione asked
"You have to ask Hermione? Who else but us like always," Ron said looking at her.
Luna looked up from her book, "What makes you think you're going to win again?"
"Luna this is your first year here so you wouldn't know we've been winning the last couple of years," Ron stated.
Luna raised her eyebrow at him, "Well Ron maybe Ravenclaw will win this year."
"Thought you were going to say your house."
Luna gave him a smile and then looked back down at her book.
"How is that class going?" Hermione asked Luna
"Fine, I guess."
"Fine, I think you're the only one in the class that really see's anything in that crystal ball. What have you been seeing?" Ron asked
"I can't tell you what I've been seeing or it will alter the future. Everything that I see can change in a matter of moments depending on what a person decides."
The three looked at her, "Has it been good or bad?"
Luna looked at them and gave them a slight smile, "Both."
"Luna Snape, the headmaster wish's to see you in his office," Madam Hooch the flying instructor said.
Luna got up from her seat and headed toward the school. Luna entered and walked towards the statue that led to the headmaster's office. Madam Hooch was standing by the statue, "Lemon drop," she said and then the statue started going up. Luna stepped onto a step and waited for the staircase to stop moving. Once it did, she walked up the few steps and knocked on the door. There was no answer and after a few more moments, she stepped inside the office, "Headmaster?" she called. She didn't see him and walked around the office she placed her book down in a chair and walked over to the bookshelf. She looked through the books and pulled out a divination book it was older but it was more advanced. She was flipping through the pages of the book and didn't hear the headmaster approach her, "I hear your doing very well in that class Miss Snape."
Luna turned around and faced the headmaster closing the book, "I guess," she stated and placed the book back on the shelf. "You wanted to see me?"
"You know Miss Snape I have known your father for a long time since he attended here. I believe you are a lot like him. You're very good at potions and divination. Those two things will help you greatly. You need to remember though to be careful with what you tell others. I have a great feeling about you Miss Snape as I have a great feeling that Mr. Potter will be doing great things. He will save our world from darkness and you might just save some people from it."
Luna looked at him for a few moments, "I don't know what to do Headmaster."
"Do what you think is right."
"What do you do when someone wants you to do something that will aid them in destruction and killing?"
"Look for the silver lining. I believe Professor Trelawney wants you to come and have a private session with her today," The headmaster said to Luna.
Luna looked at him but nodded her head. She picked her book up and left the office. It was the oddest meeting she ever had with someone before. She headed to the tower for the divination class. She entered the classroom and found Trelawney at a table with a crystal ball.
"Ah hello Miss Snape come and sit," Trelawney said to Luna. Luna came and sat next to her professor. "You have a powerful gift Miss Snape it's strong you can do great things with it. Here," she passed the crystal ball next to Luna.
Luna looked at the ball, "I can never hear the voices."
"Touch the crystal with both hands on either side and concentrate not just on the actions but on the voices as well," the professor instructed.
Luna looked at the ball and let out a steady breath before she placed her hands on the ball and watched as white swirling mist appeared. Luna was submerged in what she saw quickly. She felt like she was pulled deeper in then before. She saw nothing but darkness but she could hear voices.
"What do you mean you failed?" Hissed a voice
"I'm sorry master."
"There was no failing now he knows where to come," the voice hissed again.
"I'll fix it master. We can use her as bait he'll come," the voice said.
"Use her… She's not the reason you failed. But then you are right he won't let someone die. He hasn't yet. Bring her here."
It was silent then for a few then she heard a new voice, "Let me go!" she could place the new voice instantly it was hers. Light then appeared in the room. She saw who held her it was Seth. She saw the Dark Lord he wasn't alone she could also see Draco, her father Severus, Bellatrix Lestrange Draco's aunt, and a few other's. She struggled against her brother's hold.
"Bring her here," the Dark Lord said.
Seth put his sister right in front of the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord looked at her and ran his hand down the side of her cheek, "You are going to help us led Potter here."
Luna shook her head. He raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you hiding something?"
Luna looked at him, "What would I hide from you for almost a year?"
Luna watched the Dark Lord grab her wrist and she felt the shock go through her body. She fell to her knees as he looked down at her.
Luna had never experienced anything like what she was at that moment watching that seen unfold in front of her through the crystal she felt the shock go through her own body. She didn't hear her professor calling her name or feel the professor hand trying to wake her out of the trance that she was in while looking into the crystal.
"Looks like we have someone who's been against us," the Dark Lord said and then turned to face Draco, "She's your fiancé Draco, you do what needs to be done."
She saw Draco look down at Luna on the ground. He didn't move for his wand. The Dark Lord looked at him but didn't have time to say anything. Seth's voice came and she felt the pain go through her entire body. He had cast the, Crucio spell on her. She was on the ground screaming and in the world outside the crystal ball. Her hands where on the crystal screaming in pain, she tried to pull herself out of the crystal but she couldn't. She felt the pain going through her body. In the divination tower around Luna was Severus, Dumbledore, Trelawney, and Madam Pomfrey.
"What happened?" Severus asked Trelawney.
"I don't know I can't see into the crystal and see what she sees."
"Pomfrey?" Dumbledore asked
"It looks like the Crucio spell," she stated, "I've never seen anyone be affected by something they saw."
"Severus see if you can pull her out," Pomfrey instructed.
Severus approached his daughter's side and kneeled down by her, "Luna, Luna darling come back," he spoke softly to her, "Let go of the crystal Luna," he instructed.
Luna could hear her father's voice calling to her and instructing her. She focused her mind to concentrate on releasing the crystal ball. She felt the pain stop but then lost conciseness. Severus had caught hold of his daughter as she fell after letting go of the crystal ball. He picked her up and followed Pomfrey out of the room. They headed to the hospital wing where Severus placed his daughter on one of the beds. "She'll be fine Severus just needs some rest," Pomfrey said and headed into her office. Severus left his daughter there he wanted to know what she saw.
