HARRY POTTER AND THE AZKABAN PRISONER CHAPTER 6 TAUNTING TEA LEAVES

When Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the great hall the next day, the first thing they noticed was Malfoy standing in front of a large group of laughing Slytherins, as they passed Harry noticed Malfoy was doing an impersonation of somebody fainting, all the Slytherins glanced at Harry and started laughing even louder.

Trying to ignore Malfoy, they all crossed the great hall and took seats at the end of the Gryffindor table.

"what the hells wrong with Malfoy?" Ron asked glancing at the blonde moron.

The rest of breakfast was fairly boring (except for the Slytherins) Harry had finished early and ran back up to his room with some extra bacon for snuffles, Harry quickly went over his schedule on the way back out of the common room, his first class was Divination in the top of north tower, he began running down what he thought where the right halls, after several minutes Harry slammed into something which let out an alarmed yelp as they both slammed into the ground.

Harry sat up and looked irritably at whoever he had run into, then when he noticed who he ran into he was in a much better mood.

But neither of them got a chance to say anything because Hermione pulled them both onto the feet and dragged them down the hall by there arms muttering something about "stupid boys" and "clumsy prats"

After a few more minutes of walking, they found a hall with a strange portrait, it was a large grass field.

"well, where should we go?" Ron asked, getting a bit irritated at being lost.

"how should I know" Hermione snapped back.

Harry was looking at the strange portrait, he noticed Ron and Hermione where about to start another argument, but he wasn't paying much attention, Harry saw a small plump white pony trot onto the portrait and was soon followed by a short knight with grass stains on his armor.

"who invades Sir Cadogan's hallway?"

The short knight tried to pull his sword from its sheath and failed miserably, during his second attempt he got it out and because the sword was larger then he was he easily overbalanced and stuck his sword into the ground to keep from falling over, after a few tries to pull his sword out of the ground Sir Cadogan gave up and wiped the sweat from his brow (The whole time Harry was trying not to laugh at the portrait or his friends arguing)

"you vagrant evil doers will be sorry you ever invaded my area. as soon as I get my sword back"

The odd portrait finally caught the attention of Ron and Hermione, they both walked closer and all three where bombarded with such foul insults even Harry turned red (and his uncle used a lot of foul language), Hermione finally cut off the strange knight.

"if you don't tell us how to get to the Divination class we will hex you into oblivion"

"well, well you don't have to get all rude, wait! Does this mean a quest? Why didn't you say so in the first place? Well were off!"

Sir Cadogan ran off his portrait to the left, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed quickly glancing at the strange knight running through several other portraits (a portrait of nuns was so shocked they almost fell out of there painting) after running through several halls and going up several narrow stairways, they finally arrived in a large empty room with a trap door in the ceiling.

As soon as they arrived in the strange room, Sir Cadogan bowed and left dragging his large sword behind him.

"well, what are we supposed o do now?" Ron complained

Before anybody could respond, the trap door in the ceiling opened and a long silver ladder slid from the opening all the way to the floor, after quickly climbing the ladder they found the strangest class room they had ever seen, it looked like some kind of twisted cross between a coffee shop and an old attic filled with antiques.

The room was filled with small round tables with old tore up arm chairs around them, the air smelled of several strong perfumes, and to make the whole room even weirder, all the lamps had red shawls over them giving the room an extremely odd red tone.

The rest of there class was already there so Harry, Ron, and Hermione all sat at a table in the back, after a few seconds of waiting, a tall woman entered the room from an unseen door, she was the strangest professor they had ever seen, on her neck she wore several chains and pendants, her arms where covered in several different kinds of bangles and bracelets, and her glasses made her eyes look ten times larger then normal.

"Greeting class, my name is Sibyll Trelawney though you will be calling me Professor Trelawney, we will start with reading tea leaves, then we will move onto palms, by the way Neville you might want to owl your grandmother to see how she is doing, and by the end of the year we will be working with the crystal ball"

She had been speaking in the most eerie misty sounding voice anybody had ever heard.

Soon everybody was drinking tea and preparing the remaining dregs, the instructions where on pages five and six of unfogging the future.

Ron and Harry decided to be partners so they traded tea remains and began trying to decipher there meaning with there Divination book.

:well Harry, I think it looks like a hat, but from this angle it looks like an animal, maybe a hippo or a sheep."

And of course Professor Trelawney had to overhear and notice Harry trying his hardest not to laugh.

"let me take a look" she said as she took the cup and began to examine the tea dregs.

"well this is the symbol of the dark guardian, somebody unexpected will protect you, and this is the symbol of the fallen moon, it means somebody close to you cares a great deal about you but you haven't realized it yet, then this last symbol is, oh my."

The Professor turned a pale white and slowly backed away until she bumped into a different table.

"oh it couldn't be that bad" Hermione complained.

"its, I didn't expect it for somebody so young, the grim."

To the surprise of everybody in the room, even to himself for that matter, Harry began laughing then buried his face in his folded arms on the table to stifle his laughter.

"and WHAT exactly is so funny about a death oman?" snapped Professor Trelawney, sounding a bit like Professor McGonagall.

"well, your probably seeing my new pet, I got a magic dog over the summer and people seem to think it looks like a grim"

Professor Trelawney wasn't very happy about being corrected, the rest of class was uneventful, Neville broke three cups but nothing really interesting happened.

After Divination had ended, Ron, Hermione, and Harry left the class quickly trying not to laugh to loudly about the grim prediction.

Hermione pulled out her schedule to see what there next class was.

"well it looks like next is care of magical creatures" but she didn't seem to happy about it.

"what wrong Mione?" Ron asked sounding a bit worried.

"were paired with the Slytherins."
