Part III
Romeo looked strangely at Prof. Trelawney. There were lots of weird professors at Hogwarts, but none of them could even compare to this one. Sybil stubbornly claimed that she had powers to predict the future. But no one believed anyway.
"Ah, Sybil." Dumbledore smiled friendly, "I see that you have had a talk with some of the prefects. Did you tell them why they are here?"
Prof. Trelawney shook her head, saying; "I left the honour to you, my fair man. Tell them, will you? We don't want to keep them in suspense much longer, do we now?" Prof. Trelawney answered.
"No, we don't. Come with me, my children." Dumbledore said and walked out the door. All of the prefects followed and so did Prof. Trelawney.
"Do you have any idea where they are taking us?" asked Adelaide as they walked down a creaky hallway.
"Nope." Romeo simply answered.
"You're on your fifth yeah, right?" Adelaide asked Romeo.
"Yeah. And you?"
"The same. It's a wonder that we haven't met before."
"Maybe it's faith."
"Excuse me?" Adelaide said. What did he mean by that?
"Faith. Maybe we weren't suppose to meet at all, but our meetings have just been an error. I know that I would have been better off without knowing you."
"Want me to manhandle you again, huh?"
"NO!" Romeo said scared, instinctively folding his arms across his stomach.
"Then stop offending me." Adelaide said, "I'm actually a nice person."
"Yeah right."
"I am!"
"If you believe that yourself, then I guess it's okay."
"Listen up, skinny, I'm in no mood for your insulting. I will be fine without them, thank you very much."
"No, you listen up, goatie, if you don't want me insulting you, then you should really mind your own business." Romeo said harshly. Adelaide was getting on his nerves. He didn't like her. At all.
"Don't make fun of me and my goat family. I know all about your childhood!"
"You do?"
"As the matter a fact; yes, I do. I know that you left you father, spend a year with your granny and then grew up among pigs and horses!"
"And? I happen to enjoy pigs' company. So, I guess that I should enjoy yours, too -" He broke off when he received a hard slap across the left side of his head.
"Don't ever call me a pig again, froggie!"
"THEN - FOR THE LAST TIME- LEAVE ME ALONE! I'm through with you missy! You have hurt me for the last time!" Romeo screamed and began crying. He feel down on his knees and burrowed his face in his hands.
"What's going on here?" Dumbledore asked.
