"I didn't realize that unicorn have any gem." Said Hermione.
Hagrid smiles at her. "Yes, not many people realize it. You see, in order for the gem to appear, you have to win the unicorn complete trust. That is the hard part. The gem have the same power as the unicorn blood, it can heal any wounds, even if you are a moment from death. The only difference is, you won't get curse."
The rest of the class time was spent on observing the unicorn. True to Hagrid's word, the unicorn doesn't seem to trust human at all, by the end of the class, only two people manage to get near it.
"Wow, that was a great lesson." Ron said enthusiastically as they head toward the Great Hall.
Harry nods his head in agreement. "I didn't know about unicorn gem. Wonder if Hermione have cooled down a bit."
Ron just shrugs as he sat down. He was still mad at the way Hermione acted. After a delicious lunch, Harry and Ron heads toward Professor Trelawny tower. They haven't seen Hermione at lunch. She was probably in the library. As usual.
Harry sigh as he made his way to the North Tower. "I wish she would stop making all those death predictions about me. It's gets old after a while."
Ron grins. "At least it's not hard to pass her class. All we have to do is put in loads of misery and she'll be happy."
As usual, Professor Trelawny classroom has a mysterious aura around it. The classroom feels hot and stuffy.
"Good afternoon, class." Professor Trelawny said in her usual misty voice. "I'm so happy to see you again this year. The Inner Eye has inform me that this year will be hard and difficult. Some of you might not make it."
At this, she set her sight directly on Harry. Harry just rolls his eyes at Ron, who stifled a laugh.
"This year will be spent on Tarot reading. Now, Tarot reading is very difficult. Only those who are Gifted will be able to truly understand its significance. I want all of you to turn to page 535 of your book. Now, pair up into two and start reading."
Harry opens his book and stifled a yawn. Divination has never been his cup of tea.
"Let's see, this card with the skull is call the Death Card." said Ron, examining the page.
Harry look at his book, "Yeah, but it said that the Death Card doesn't necessary mean death."
Ron snorts, "Well, that's just plain stupid. Why do they call it the Death Card then?"
"Beats me." Said Harry.
They spent the rest of the class reading up on different kinds of card.
"That was stupid." Said Ron as they head off to their next class, Herbology.
"I know." Agree Harry.
That night, Harry has a very strange dream. In his dream, he saw different color crystal floating about, in the middle is a strange blue light. Harry tried to touch it, but the minute his hand reaches toward the crystal, it vanishes.
Harry didn't mention the strange dream to Ron that morning. In truth, he doesn't know what the dream means either. He was thinking that it's probably the work of his imagination.
Ron and Harry quickly make their way toward the Great Hall for breakfast. Today was the day they dread the most. Double Potions first thing in the morning with the Slytherins.
"I can't believe we have double Potions first thing in the morning." Grumble Ron.
Harry look at him, "What are you complaining about? Sure, Snape hates all Gryffindors but he loathed me."
Ron looks at Harry in embarrassment. "Sorry."
They dreadfully made their way toward the dungeon. All of the Slytherins have already show up, not surprisingly, since this is their favorite class. Snape adores the Slytherins since he's their Head of the House.
Snape sneer at them when they enter the room. "Well, if it isn't the famous Harry Potter and his faithful sidekick."
Harry bit his lips to keep from retorting. He knows that if he did, he'll just lose points for Gryffindor.
"I see that we have a new student today. A Gryffindor I see." Said Snape, sneering at the word Gryffindor. "Your name is Tokimi Kyoto?"
Tokimi nods without interest.
"Answer when you are spoken to." Snap Snape.
Tokimi look at him coolly and replied in a dark tone. "You ask me if my name is Tokimi, I nod. Are you so stupid as to not understand its meaning?"
The whole class gasps. They couldn't believe their ears. Harry and Ron glance nervously at each other. Each one thinking the same thing. 'Tokimi doesn't know whom she's messing with.'
Snape have turn a beautiful shade of red.
"Detention today. 60 points off Gryffindor" he barks.
Tokimi just shrug carelessly. "Whatever. I don't really think that's a fair thing to do, do you? But then I've always heard that you're quite biased, so it's doesn't surprise me in the least. I am amaze however, that a teacher of Hogwart can act so childishly."
Everyone turn to Snape to see his reaction. Draco Malfoy look at the girl with his mouth open.
"Silence." Snap Snape. "How dare you. I will be speaking to the Headmaster about this, make no mistake."
Tokimi eye him with a sneer. "So, can't even fight your own battle? You have to run and hide behind someone do you? Not only are you so stupid, you're also a tattletale. I don't care if you go to Dumbledore. Suit yourself."
By this time, Snape have turn a brilliant shade of purple, it look as if he might explode any minute.
"You.... You...." Stutter Snape, too angry for words.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or don't you know how to speak properly?" Said Tokimi coldly.
"Out. Go straight to the Headmaster office. NOW." Yell Snape.
Tokimi doesn't seem to be phase by Snape attitude, she just gather her things and head toward the door.
Snape turn to the rest of the class. "I want all of you to stay quietly in here. If so much as a pencil is out of order, you all serve detention for a week. Now, excuse me."
Snape furiously march out the door and slam it shut. The entire class has been holding their breath the entire time.
"Can't you believe that?" Ask Seamus once Snape was out of earshot.
"Fantastic. I've never seen Snape so angry." Laugh Ron.
"You filthy Gryffindor better watch what you say; it's no fun losing any more points does it?" Sneer Pansy Parkinson, a fifth year Slytherin.
Parvati turn to Pansy and said coolly. "Look like Professor Snape finally met his match."
"I've never seen a student talk that way toward a teacher before" said Dean in awe.
Hermione look at them disapprovingly, "I can't believe you guys. That girl lost 60 points for Gryffindor."
Harry shook his head slightly. "I don't know Hermione, I mean, that's kind of a small price to pay for Snape reaction."
"You bet." Said Ron, trying to suppress his laughter.
"Laugh all you want. That girl is in serious trouble." Said Millicent, another fifth year Gryffindor."
Ron looks at Harry. "As much as I hate to admit it, she's right. Tokimi is in hot water."
Harry nod silently.
Snape didn't return for the entire lesson, soon it was time for lunch. The students hurried off toward the Great Hall.
Fred and George grab them as soon as they reach the Gryffidor table.
"I heard what happen in potions today. Is Snape really mad?" Ask Fred, pumping Harry for information.
"You bet." Said Ron. "His face was almost black with anger. I swear, I can almost see steam coming out of his ear."
"I can't believe we miss such a show." Moan George.
"Tell me about it." Said Lee, a friend of the twins.
Fred turns to Harry, "So, what happen to that new girl, Tokimi?"
"I don't know. Snape told her to go the Headmaster office. I haven't seen her since."
"She probably got expel." Said Hermione, reaching for a chicken sandwich.
"Dumbledore wouldn't do that would he?" Ask Ron uneasily as he chews on his steak.
Fred shrugs. "I don't know, knowing Snape, he probably twists the whole version and makes it so that Tokimi will appear as a total monster."
"She is pretty nasty to him." Said Hermione. "He doesn't have to twist anything."
Ron turns to Hermione exasperatedly, "Honestly Hermione, it sound as if you loathe her."
"I don't." Said Hermione. "I just think it's selfish of her to lost our House so many points. Did she think about us fellows Gryffindor?"
George rolls his eyes. "Come on, this is Snape we're talking about. He ALWAYS took point off Gryffindor."
"Beside." Put in Fred. "The rest of the Gryffidor are not in the least angry with her. They'll give anything to see Snape embarrass like that."
"Yes Hermione. Anyway, we lost a lot of points for Gryffindor too, or have you forgotten?"
Hermione sat up in disgust. "I'm going to the library."
"Again?" Ask Harry, but she was already out the door.
"I don't really know what's up with her lately." Said Ron. "She gets grouchy at the slightest thing."
"Ron, look over there." Said Harry.
Ron turns to the direction that Harry was pointing and was surprise to see Tokimi enter the Great Hall, her face expressionless.
Ron and Harry look at the staff table. Snape was sitting between Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinistra, his face was contort in fury. His eyes are set on Tokimi with fury.
Harry didn't think that it's possible for Snape to find someone he hate more than him, but looking at Snape right now, he can see that what Snape felt for Tokimi is beyond hatred. He shudders at the icy expression on Snape face.
The rest of the Gryffindor were trying to ask Tokimi for information, but she simply ignores all of them and stares stonily ahead.
