1 WHAT IS BEHIND THE MASK
CHAPTER 4
~::North Tower (Divinition classroom)::~
"Sybill, what is it you want? I have to get down to lunch." Dumbledore questioned.
"Oh, it will only take but a minute, I wanted to ask." Sybill Trelawney suddenly went stiff and began to speak in a very course voice.
"In a time where the dark lord, twice weakened by one child, is at a rise. Old supporters come back, new ones come forth. As is fortold, a child with abilities far beyond comprehension is to defeat the dark lord. Believed by many, that this child shall be the one who can weaken the dark lord, but he can only weaken, he has no ability to destroy. It shall be a girl, born under the sign of Sagittarius, who shall defeat the undefeatable. But not alone. Helped by four others. One shall be the child who can weaken the dark lord. One with great knowledge, another, the knowledge of the wearing ways. The last is a child who is all knowing of the dark side, yet is not ever to use the knowledge, held back by a stronger force. Together these five, led by a girl, shall become the five fortold to bring peace among the world, all beings, all kinds all ways."
Professor Trelawneys body went limp and her head hit the desk. "Oh sorry Albus, I must have dozed off, as I was saying, I wanted to know if you had the new set of tarot cards for me. We are to begin the readings with the 6th years."
"Yes, I have them. You can pick hem up at my office. Oh and Sybil, you can expect a very large Christmas bonus this year. I must go now."
"Good day sir."
~::Great Hall::~
"Ahhhaa! Hey Pansy! Look in a mirror!"
It was Jade. Pansy's skin was bright blue and her hair was orange, sticking out in all directions.
George and Fred in union said, "Why didn't we think of that?"
"Ah, but you did."
"Huh?" George questioned.
"I'm a telepath."
"Darn, now I cant even think my ideas without getting them stolen."
"Now I wouldn't have stolen the idea, if you weren't thinking of doing it to me."
"Whoops, found out. Shame on me." Jade laughed.
"Hey Ron, where is Divination?"
"Up in the north tower, but if you get lost, don't bother asking the very annoying knight."
"Oh, I don't get lost. Not in the day-time anyway."
Hermione spoke to Harry, Ron and Jade. "If you are going to get to divination on time, you better leave now." So Harry, Ron and Jade left the great hall and started the long walk to the North tower.
"Enter children." Came the eerie voice of Professor Trelawney. "Please get in pairs of two and sit down with a deck of Tarot cards." Jade told Harry and Ron to be partners and she would be someone else's and they agreed, but reluctantly. Jade walked over to an empty table and waited for someone to join her, but mast of the class was already paired off.
~::The halls::~
Draco Malfoy was running through the halls, trying to get to the North tower in time for class. He got to the top and walked through the trap door and into the classroom. He looked around and found the only remaining seat. It was next to Jade. He reluctantly went over and sat next to her.
"mzory"
"What?"
"I am sorry."
"Hmmm, are you apologizing because you really are sorry for what you did or because you don't want to get thrown across the room again? No matter, I accept you apology. Friends?"
Jade put her hand out and alas, Draco took it. "Friends"
Professor Trelawney's eerie voice cut in, "Ok, first I want you to try a reading together, for both you and your partner. You place the deck in the middle of the table and both touch the cards as it is turned over. Draw six and only six. Together you should balance out the reading. If there are more cards from the major arcana than the minor, destiny guides your life, if there are more minor than major cards you decide your own fate. Please begin."
Draco and Jade both touched the top card and flipped it over. It was the star card, which represents balance. Then the death card, then the devil card, which represents evil. Then the empress, which had so many meanings, she didn't want to think about it. Then the fool card, meaning things not being what they seem. Then the wisdom card, all of the major arcana.
Professor Trelawney came and looked at the cards. "Oh my, I've never seen such a reading." Out of the corner of her eye, Jade saw Harry and Ron messing up their cards and putting them back in their deck. They didn't want to give Professor Trelawney another chance to predict Harry's death.
Trelawney continued, "It looks as if both your lives are completely governed by destiny. I want to do a separate four-card reading. I will give them. She sat down and drew out her own deck of cards, much older than their deck. She drew out cards for each of them. Both got almost the same reading, the star card, death card, and devil card, but while Jade got the fool card, Draco got the wisdom card.
"Looks like destiny has something n store for you, both of you seem to have something to do with it." Professor Trelawney said this quietly so only they could hear her. Then louder "The cards you have are for only you and your partner to use. They supposedly feed off your power so they will only work if one of you two does the reading. So in this case I will let you hold on to the cards. Class dismissed."
Draco stood up and said, "See you around." Then left. It was times like these she got frustrated. The 'jujubees' were supposed to help her control her mind reading powers. Let her use them at will but she just couldn't read him. With a sigh, Jade got up and left towards the Gryffindor tower.
~HarryPotterCC1~
Ok I'm going to give you the full meaning for each of the cards. And these are the real meanings.
Star- insight, understanding and hope for the future. This card also means balance.
Death-Transformation, change which is a blessing in disguise. A clearing out which will make way for something better. Harsh fate which does not consider personal feelings. Very, very occasionally does this card signify death, more usually it means a major change in life.
Devil-unyielding power, tyranny, lust and greed. An unmovable obstacle that cannot be overcome yet may be worked around. It also means unbreakable bonds, so, strangely, it is a good omen for marriage.
Empress-material and domestic comfort, security and comfort. May indicate child birth, motherhood, nurturing, reassurance, and a firm foundation for future progress.
Fool-noting can harm you, what ever you do. Take a risk. The start of a new chapter in life. Expect the unexpected. Unconventional people could enter your life
Wisdom-it means just what it says.
I really like this chapter, mainly because it tells almost the whole story of what will happen and why it is happening.
Please review. ^_^ ::Smiles::
