Chapter Five: Misery....Is How I Feel
A/N: None ( heeeheee
"Harry, wake up! Hurry!"
"W-w-what?"
Ron quickly pushed Harry off his four-poster and threw Harry his robes. "Hurry! We're going to be late!"
Harry quickly pulled over his robes. "For what?"
Ron groaned. "Harry, have you been putting that Daze Charm on yourself again? Anyway, we're going to be late for Divination!"
Harry sighed. "Alright, I'm ready." He grabbed his Divination stuff and walked out of the dormitory with Ron. The Great Hall was already crowded with Hogwarts students.
Harry and Ron managed to find a space at the Gryffindor table. Just then, Hedwig flew in threw a nearby open window and landed right on Harry's plate of latkes and bacon. Ron unleashed the piece of parchment tied to the leg of Hedwig.
"Who's it from?"
Ron quickly checked the front of the envelope. "Hmm....it's from Sirius."
"Sirius?"
"Sirius."
"Snuffles?"
Harry and Ron looked up. It was Hermione. "'Mione! You scared the living daylights out of me!" Ron said, teasing her.
Hermione scrunched her face up. "Ron! Stop calling me that!"
It turned out to be a big row. "Guys! Stop it! Ron, we have to get to Divination!" Harry cut in.
Hermione stopped in the middle of her sentence. Then she picked up her books. "Fine, you two go and I'll be getting to Arithmancy."
"Fine with us!" called Ron cheerfully. Harry and Ron went up to the North Tower and entered Professor Trelawney's classroom. This time, the heavy scents of perfume in her classroom were now put out even heavier.
Professor Trelawney swept into the classroom just a moment later. Parvati and Lavender were up front as usual.
"Greetings, my dears. Today, we will look into a new dimension. I've gazed into my Inner Eye and I saw myself teaching my fifth year students: How to Read Taro Cards."
"I thought that stuff was fake," Harry muttered to Ron. Ron shrugged. "Now it seems like it isn't."
After Professor T. passed out decks of Taro Cards to everyone, she demonstrated to them how it was supposed to be read. "...You see my dears, the card must be pointed toward you in order to find out the readings of the Taro Card ...."
It was quite some time before Harry and Ron got the hang of it. Unfortunately, Professor T. had stopped by to read Harry's.
"Mr. Potter, please arrange your cards and read them out loud to the class," said Professor T.
Harry gulped and put out his cards the way his book told him to. Professor leaned over his shoulder and peered at his cards before he had a chance to speak for his cards. Professor T. gasped.
"What is it, Professor?" whispered Lavender Brown.
Professor T. patted Harry on the shoulder. Both Harry and Ron were looking very puzzled.
Professor shook her head. "Potter, my dear, you card is indeed very unlucky."
Harry looked up at her blankly.
She continued. "According to the cards, Mr. Potter, you will soon facing a short period of despair and depression and gloominess and disdain and-"
"We get your point," interrupted Harry.
Professor T. looked a little sniffy after her interruption.
Soon, Divination was over and the class filed out.
"Do you actually believe what your card said?" whispered Ron to Harry. Harry shrugged, but deep down inside, he was a little worried.
"But what do you think she meant when she said 'You'll be soon facing a life of misery and disdain and blah, blah, blah?'" Ron asked.
"Short period of life," Harry corrected. Just then, Hermione walked up to them with a big smile on her face.
"What's with the cheeriness?" Ron demanded. Hermione looked taken back. "Why shouldn't I be?"
Ron explained to her about Harry's cards. Hermione snorted. "Seriously, I've told you two a million times. That woman is a total fraud!"
"So? But sometimes, Taro Cards can tell the truth of life!" Ron insisted.
Hermione sighed. "I'll leave the decision to you. Mind you, we have to go to Care of Magical Creatures now!"
Ron rolled his eyes as the three walked out onto the grounds in silence.
A/N: Ok, so maybe the story's getting nowhere like I promised it would be. But hey, the chapter's long, right? Guess not. ~*PBCDK*~
