Chapter Five- A Terrible Predictionp
November went by quickly and the shock of Alec and Bailee still remained. The Christmas holidays were just around the corner and the students were allowed into Hogsmede in the afternoons. p
"Whatcha doin?" Alec inquired one afternoon. p
Bailee was sitting at the desk with her History of Magick book and lots of parchment. She put down her quill and stared at her boyfriend. p
"Working on my paper, it's about the Salem witch trails which occurred in America in the sixteen hundreds." Bailee replied. p
"Isn't it sad?" Alec sighed, thinking about all those awful muggles. He winced as he rested a hand on Bailee's chair. p
"Hmm…yeah I guess." p
Bailee got out of her chair and put away her homework, then gathered her things for Divination Class. p
"See you after class?" She questioned pecking Alec on the cheek. p
She smiled and left the dorm. She paused when she saw Chutney and Ste in the hallway. p
"Hey Bailes!" Chutney greeted her. p
Bailee glared at her cousins curiously, "oh, so you two are speaking to me now?" p
Chutney looked at Ste and then they both nodded.br
"We realized that we over-reacted. Alec has proved to us that he isn't a bad guy at all. We should have known this sooner and we're sorry." Ste told her. p
"We're your family Bailee, and we're you friend. Can you forgive us?" Chutney added. p
"Oh you guys!" Bailee exclaimed pulling the twins in for a group hug. br
"Yay!"p
"Ready for Divination?" Ste wanted to know. p
"As ready as I'll ever be." Bailee replied rolling her eyes. Professor Trelawney was a serious quack. In a way, she reminded Bailee of a traveling, fortune telling gypsy in one of those old muggle movies. p
They slowly walked up to the North tower (which was quiet a hike) where their Divination class was. It was hot and muggy as usual as they found their seats in the back of the classroom. p
Professor Trelawney walked to the center of the room and placed a crystal ball on her desk. Her bracelets jingled as she moved. p
"Today we are going to try something different." She announced walking around the room. "I know the holidays are coming up so I am going to read your fortunes one by one." p
Professor Trelawney picked up the crystal ball and went to the corner of the room which was cover off by crimson velvet curtains. p
"Bailee, you first." p
Bailee rolled her eyes and walked behind the curtain and sat down in a wooden chair. She watch her teacher and she set the crystal ball in the center of the table and sat down directly across from her. p
"Now, clear your mind." Professor Trelawney stated. br
She closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath and then she opened her eyes again. She hummed and stared contently into the crystal ball. p
"Oh dear…" p
"What is it Professor?" Bailee inquired curiously. p
"I see something terrible happening. Someone you are fond of is going to be badly injured." p
"Are you sure?" Bailee questioned folding her arms. She never took her teacher's predictions to heart. It had to be a joke. p
A Quidditch player- the Slytherin keeper is going to be hurt during the Quidditch Cup Finals…very terrible indeed." p
"Alec…" Bailee gasped. p
Professor Trelawney nodded, "Slytherin will win but at a terrible price." p
Bailee blinked and stared into the crystal ball, but she couldn't see anything. This had to be a joke. p
"I don't believe you!" Bailee snapped and got up so quickly the chair fell over. p
She ran out of the corner and grabbed her belongings before running out of the room and jumping down the ladder. The class was left in a stunned silence. p
"Much like her poor aunt Hermonie…" Trelawney sighed. p
Bailee reached her dormitory in record time. She entered the common room and froze when she saw Alec in his Quidditch robes holding up his Broom Blazer 8,000. p
"Bailee? What's wrong?" Alec asked, rushing over to her. p
"You mustn't go to Quidditch practice…" Bailee panted, breaking into a cold sweat. p
Alec set down his broomstick and pulled his girlfriend to the sofa, "what happened?"brHe furrowed his eye brows and stared at her worriedly. p
"Professor Trelawney said that you were going to be hurt badly during the Quidditch Cup." p
"Bailee, Professor Trelawney is a nuts, she has no idea what she is talking about." p
"But she had no idea that I was fond of you!" p
"The whole school knows…" Alec replied kissing her forehead. p
Bailee sighed, frustrated by Alec's calmness. "Alec I have reason to believe that she is right. Rooney Chang will do anything to sabotage your chances of winning, especially give your recent history with him just last year!" p
Alec bit his lip, not knowing how to respond. Bailee had a good point. p
"I think you're right, however I can not miss practice just because of that damn jealous Gryffindor." Alec decided. p
He stood up and grabbed Bailee's hands while she stared at him silently.br
"I will just have to be extra careful." p
Bailee nodded and watched him grab his broom. Then he slowly walked to the door, "well, see you…"p
Alec walked through the portrait hole and slowly towards the Quidditch field. Every once in a while he would glance behind him and make sure he wasn't being followed. p
Meanwhile, Bailee stormed into the Gryffindor common room furiously.p
"Whoa, where's the fire Bailes?" Ste inquired noticing his cousin standing in the middle of the room in a huff. p
"Oh Ste, I have to talk to you!" p
Bailee led Ste back to her dormitory and told him her suspicions about Rooney.p
"He has been acting weird since Halloween…" Ste agreed. p
"So, you will keep an eye on him for me?" p
"Definitely, I want Gryffindor to win but not at the cost of one of my players cheating." P
Bailee smiled and hugged her cousin, "thank you!" p
Ste nodded patting his messy brown hair. "Why don't you come and hang out with us Gryffindors for the afternoon?" p
"Sure!" Bailee agreed. p
Alec stared cautiously around the Quidditch field before greeting his team. He mounted his broom and kicked off the ground swiftly. He loved the feel of the breeze through his hair. He swooped around over the field smiling to himself. Quidditch was his favourite sport in the world. Alec looked down and noticed a person sitting in the stands. He flew overhead and realized that it was indeed Rooney. p
"Sam!" He shouted flying his Broom Blazer 8,000 towards one of his beaters. p
"We have company, a Gryffindor spy by the looks of it. I want you and Curt to get rid of him by all means necessary." Alec told Sam Crabb. p
Crabb grinned broadly revealing large amounts of yellow teeth. He pat Alec on the back, "now that's the Slytherin talking!" p
