Thank you all!
Posting earlier because you are so lovely!
FYI: Omikuji is a fortune that gave you some detailed information for your year. Also, the first dream of the year is said to be an omen too.

Chapter Thirty - Omikuji
"What does your says?"
In the January 1st, Kagome woke him much earlier than someone who went to sleep after midnight should be up to watch the new year's first sunrise (hatsu-hinode). Then, George waited for Kagome to make her prayers and offerings to her gods. Many neighbors asked for her and her grandfather's blessings. She suggest for them to get an omikuji to know of their fortune for the following year.
"Great blessing." George answered. "Success in business. Health. Happiness. A good omen, I think. And yours?"
Kagome blushed. "I guess we are both lucky. I got great blessing too. The realization of a wish and some other stuff." George raised a brow. She was very vague in her response. He wasn't one to believe in fortune telling, it was one of the reasons he never took Divination classes, so he just let the matter drop.
After lunch, George saw Kagome having a talk with her mother and made sure to avoid eavesdropping. However, he observed their gestures. Kagome's faces turned from doubt to thankfulness and hope. Her mother went from worry to joy. They embraced tightly and he was sure he could read from her mother's lips 'congratulations'. He didn't knew what they were talking about, but it couldn't be something bad.
Unfortunately, they had to leave that same day because she had to work on the next one. The good side was that he had only o apparate them close to home.
"I dreamed about Fred last night." said Kagome when they prepared to sleep.
"I thought it was a common occurrence."
"No, my dreams about him stopped after that day." It made sense. If the dreams were showing her Fred's life, it stopped with his death.
"What was it about?"
"There was me and you. He had his back to us. Then he turned, winked and vanished. I was never good in dream interpretations. I wish Kaede-baba was here."
"Maybe he will came back to haunt you?"
"Then I will have to prepare some ofudas to keep him away from the bathroom."
If you like, I can post the next one today. Just tell me what you think!
