Tarot
Hermione scowled as she allowed Lavender Brown to read her future through Tarot cards. She had no patience for Divination or anything like it! These things were incredibly phoney.
"Oh!" Lavender exclaimed, looking at the card she had flipped. "How interesting!"
Hermione ignored her, flipping another.
"Ah!" Lavender's eyes grew wider. "Oh my!"
Another flip.
Another exclamation.
Another flip.
A shriek this time.
Another flip.
Lavender actually swooned.
"Oh, will you just tell me what they mean?" Hermione demanded at last. Lavender looked up at her.
"They say that you are incredibly smart, and head strong. They also say you face great danger on a regular basis, but will marry beneath you."
Hermione looked down the table to where Ron Weasley was shovelling eggs into his mouth, apparently in a race with Seamus.
Huh. Maybe these things weren't so dumb after all.
