Chapter 3: A Cleared Up Fortune
Word got around the school instantly. Snape was in the hospital wing in critical condition. Dumbledore would not let the students know why he was in the wing, though.
Even thought most of the Gryffindors hoped that Snape would pass too, he pulled through quite well. By the end of the week, he was back teaching potions, but to Harry's astonishment, Snape was not his usual self. It seemed as if the visit to the hospital wing had changed his view of the world. He was not taking points from the other houses as often, and was even lax on the amount of homework he gave them. The students were not complaining about his new attitude. This was the biggest change they had ever seen in him, except when he was facing Sirius Black.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry (A.N: i thought that it was time for herm to be first! () climbed stairs of the tower until they finally reached the Divination classroom. Professor Trelawney's voice echoed down the ladder.
"Today's lesson will be shortened due to the fact that Professor McGonagall's funeral will be held during the last part of our lesson."
Parvati and Lavender whined, "Aw, why do we have to miss this class!?!" "Yeah, why not miss the period that we had Transfiguration? It's her funeral, why not miss her bell?"
Trelawney quieted them. "Now, for the remaining part of the bell, you will be able to have extra time to do your homework, which is on the side board. I will also be giving help to those few who need it." She looked specifically at Neville. He turned pink. "now get to work!"
The class did as she told. They looked at the side board for their homework and couldn't believe their eyes. Trelawney had covered the entire board with homework assignments. (A.N: aww. feel sorry for them (.. o look, its ron's turn to be first ) Ron and Harry quickly started on their homework. Trelawney approached their table, and looked down at Harry. There were tears in her eyes. He didn't notice this because he was hurrying to get the load of homework done.
She said in a quivering voice, "Mr. Potter, may I speak to you for a minute, alone." She glanced at Ron, who picked up his pile of books and left to go sit next to Dean and Seamus.
"What is it?" questioned Harry. (A.N: haha that sounds funny. questioning.o well) "Well, it is about what I see when I look into the orb."
"What do you see?" questioned Harry. (haha)
"Er. I am now seeing the Grim." She looked deeply distressed, definitely not her usual self. Harry just looked at her. He didn't know whether to believe her or not. 'Trelawney, predicting something bad about herself?'
"Um, professor, why are you telling me this?" questioned Harry.
"Well.er. I knew that, well, last year. umm. I always told you that I saw a grim in your orb, and I wanted to tell you that, umm, that most of what I saw, umm, wasn't true."
Harry stared at her. 'Why is she telling me this? Why would she lie to me all this time, and now, tell me the truth' His question was answered.
"And I thought that since I saw one in my orb too, that I should, umm, tell you. Also, since Professor McGonagall has passed away, I thought that this time, I might have actually seen one."
"Um, Professor, are you sure you saw a Grim? Couldn't it have been, er, something else?"
"No, Harry, I am positive I saw a Grim. It's just.I fear that I may be next."
"Professor, might I suggest you go to Dumbledore?"
Trelawney looked like she was considering the matter intensely. Harry desperately wanted to go. He wanted to tell Ron and Hermione, and also Parvati and Lavender, although they probably wouldn't believe him.
"Oh Harry, just go, and tell all of the students that it is time to go to the funeral in 5 minutes. "
"Ok."
When he came back in the room, everyone was busy working on homework, except the table which Ron, Dean, and Seamus occupied. He rushed towards them, and hurried to tell them what happened. He shouted to the room that they only had five minutes. They nodded, and started to pack up. Harry told them everything that was said. After he was finished, he looked at Seamus, who was doubled up with laughter on the floor. He took this as an insult
"Seamus, get up! This isn't funny!! (A.N: ooooo. a temper)
"What?" "Didn't you understand!?! It's not about lying anymore. It's not about her being a fraud. It's about her dying. Don't you get it!?! The Hogwarts staff is dying!"
Seamus looked thunderstruck. "But, I thought you hated her?"
"I do. but, I feel sorry for her because she is not as strong as Snape."
"What does that have to do with it?"
"Man, you people are thick! Okay. Snape was battling death too, remember? Okay. So if Trelawney is, she might not make it. She's not as strong."
The funeral ended with Dumbledore giving a short speech, and then asking if anyone else wanted to say anything. A few Hufflepuff girls said a few words, but no Gryffindors wanted to.
next chapter's called "house leaders and death omens" haha.. so sappy
