Chapter 4
"The Summons"
"That woman is an absolute nut job!" Allie exclaimed after a rather dreadful Divination lesson. "What the hell is Dumbledore thinking? I would never let a crazy woman like that teach my students. In America…"
Ron and Harry tuned out the girl's ranting and began walking toward Defense Against the Dark Arts with Allie trailing behind, mumbling to herself.
"I think she's mad about Trelawney's prediction that she's going to be pregnant before the end of the year," Ron muttered to his best friend.
Harry snorted. "I know how she feels—I'm not too pleased about what the old bat had to say to me."
"What did she say? I was too busy trying to make Allie stop her indignant screeching to hear anything else."
"I heard that, Ron," Allie snapped with an annoyed expression on her face.
Ron just grinned and turned back to Harry. "Well, what did she say?"
The black haired boy sighed and said in a misty voice," Oh dear, my crystal ball has most dreadful news. It seems as if a friend will betray you and become you enemy. Friends and family will die at this friend's hand, as will you. Your best friend and the Dark Lord's daughter will conceive an heir that will rival even Serena's power. All shall be lost."
The two red head just stared at Harry in horror. "Bloody hell," Ron murmured while Allie muttered, "Holy shit."
Harry looked at his best friend and the still mysterious girl warily. "What's wrong with you guys? You know Trelawney is a loon who always makes false predictions. I mean, the idea is just as crazy as your pregnancy prediction."
Allie managed a weak smile and replied, "Yeah, but my so-called future wasn't as grim." Ron could only nod his head in agreement.
"Oh," Harry said, though obviously not convinced. "So, why do you have DADA with us and not the rest of the Slytherins?" he asked, sensing that it was time to change the subject.
The Slytherin shrugged and absently twirled her necklace around her finger. Harry leaned in a bit to get a better look at it. It was a thick black leather string with a silver sword that had a snake and a rose snaking up to the top. It looked eerily familiar. "I dunno. I guess it's just the way my schedule worked out."
"Speaking of DADA, do either of you know who the new teacher is?" Ron questioned.
"Nope," his best friend answered, but his crush remained silent with a mysterious grin on her face.
"I know you know something, Wood. What is it!"
The beautiful witch grinned wickedly. "Something you don't know," she retorted in a singsong voice and sauntered into the classroom, leaving Ron staring after her, scowling.
Harry chuckled and slapped his friend on the back. "She really is a piece of work."
"You have no idea," Ron muttered darkly.
Harry was about to comment, but his girlfriend's arrival distracted him. "Hey boys!" Hermione greeted cheerfully. "How was Divination?"
Both boys groaned. "We'll fill you in later," Harry said. The trio walked into the classroom and sat with Allie, much to Harry and Hermione's dismay. There was still no teacher in sight and the class waited in silence to find out their teacher's identity. Finally, the door to the classroom opened slowly. The entire class leaned forward on the edge of their seats, with the exception of Allie. When the teacher finally stepped inside, all hell broke loose.
"Professor Lupin!" everyone cried in unison.
The handsome young werewolf smiled around at his students. "Good afternoon, class. Its so nice to see you all again," he said cheerfully.
