"Ron ! Wait up !"
"Oh , hey Harry ! How are you ?"
"I'm alright ... where were you at breakfast ?"
"No where ." But Harry didn't believe him.
"Come on . Where were you ?" He asked , teasingly.
"No where. Don't worry about it."
"I'm not worrying. You're a big boy. But would the sudden disappearance
have something to do with the also missing Lavender Brown ?"
Ron squirmed.
"Hah ! I knew it ! Took you guys long enough !"
"But rich coming from you."
"And what is that supposed to mean ?"
"Nothing. Let's go. We have ... drum roll please ... Divination !"
"Oh God. Kill me now , please ."
"Come on. Cho would miss you ."
"Would you ?"
Ron thought about this.
"I doubt it."
"Oh , thanks."
"I'm joking. Any who , lets go and pretend to see death signs in tea leaves ,
shall we ?"
'Sounds great."
***
But when they arrived in Divination , they were slightly less excited about
it.
"I hope we never have to climb those bloody stairs again."
"Don't count on it. We have to every Monday , and Wednesday , and
Friday..."
"Aren't you the optimistic one ?"
"Oh shut your trap. I have to go in there and listen to Trelawny predict my
death for what ... the fourth year in a row . I'm not supposed to be a little
ray of sunshine."
"Be happy. It's Seventh year."
"I know. I can't wait."
"Until what ?"
'Graduation."
"Yes you can."
'What do you mean ? Of course I can !"
"No. You will have to go back to the Dursleys , and think about what you
are going to leave behind ... Cho , Hermione , Dumbledore , Hagrid ,
Parvati, Neville , Dean , Seamus ... I think you really will miss this."
How depressing . Harry thought.

"Please , my children , come up and take a tea cup. We will be reading tea
leaves to day ..."
Ron turned to Harry , and they both began to laugh. Reading death symbols
in tea leaves was Harry's favorite ... Yeah right.
Ron came back with 2 teacups , nearly laughing his head off. They each
grabbed one , counted to three ,and chugged. When they were done , they
each grabbed their books , and opened to the page with symbols. Harry had
gotten very experienced in this , but the dull smoke and smell of the room
was frazzling his brain.
"Harry ?"
"Yeah ?"
"Are you alight ? You looked a bit out of it."
'Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry."
Harry peered into his tea cup. He could see the grim , as usual , but there
were 2 others there which he never seen before . He turned his cup again.
The two symbols weren't in the book. He looked at them closely . One of
them resembled a flower . A flower ... and a stag ...
"Oh , hey Harry ! How are you ?"
"I'm alright ... where were you at breakfast ?"
"No where ." But Harry didn't believe him.
