t took just over ten minutes to get to their next lesson which was
Divination. Harry wasn't looking forward to this lesson, the teacher
Professor Trelawney was always finding signs about Harry. After saying
Goodbye to Hermione who was going to her own they made their way up the
silver stairs that lead to the Divination room, deciding to pick a table
that was as far as way as possible from Professor Trelawney, the two sat
down and waited for the lesson to start.
"I wonder what she finds out about you this time," Ron said playing with the edge of the bright pink table cloth. Harry shrugged his shoulder.
"Most likely find in her tea leaves I die at the end of this year or something just as gruesome." Harry mumbled. At that moment Professor Trelawney entered the room.
"Good Morning Class and welcome to your 3rd year of Divination, this year we will be concentrating more on gazing into Crystal balls. I know some of you didn't have much luck last time," Trelawney said looking directly at Ron and Harry with her large eyes, Harry sank lower into his seat "but some of you did have some luck," Trelawney turned to Lavender Brown who was sitting as close as she could to the Professor.
"So can everyone please go and get themselves into pairs and a crystal ball, and Neville, its okay Crystal balls aren't like mirror's you don't get seven years bad luck."
Neville looked scared at he walked back to his table, but before he could reach his table, he tripped on his long robes and the ball fell from his hands and smashed into tiny little slithers of crystal, Trelawney give him a told you so look as he went to get another ball, meanwhile, Ron was gazing into their own crystal ball.
"Pea soup" he muttered to Harry,
"Can't see any thing; let me try" Trelawney said peeping into the ball for a couple of seconds,
"Ah! I see something," Harry braced himself for the bad news but was surprised to find that Trelawney was smiling.
"I see that there is going to a budding romance between you Harry and certain young girl who I wouldn't mention, I don't want to embarrasses the both of you, but I should warn you dear that someone else will try and get between the both of you, you're true love will get hurt and you'll set out of revenge, but it will all sort its self out, I would ask the young girl to the Yule ball before someone else will." The professor said glaring at Ron.
Harry couldn't wait for Divination to end, he was trying ignored the whispers that he could hear coming from the rest of the class.
As soon as the bell rang, he was out of his seat, and pulling open the trap door.
"Harry wait" Ron called after running to catch up with him, finally Harry stopped.
"Thanks for waiting!" Ron said sarcastically.
"Sorry Ron, but I had to get out of there before people started to ask questions.
"So Harry who do you think this lucky young girl is then" Lavender Brown asked pushing her way in between Harry and Ron.
"I don't really care Lavender," Lavender rolled her eyes.
"I think it's going to be Hermione, you two seem friendlier this year," she said with a wink, Harry rolled her eyes and went to go down the spiral staircase but Parvati Patil stepped forward
"I think Lavender's right; you two would make a very cute couple." Harry felt his cheeks redden and he quickly descended the stairs Ron followed with a grin on his face.
"I think its Ginny!" he said joking, but Harry wasn't in the mood for a joke
"Shut up Ron!"
Sitting down to lunch Harry couldn't help what Professor Trelawney had told him mill around his head as he eats his chicken.
"Who could it been," he thought to his self, glancing around the great hall, he attention was court by the Ravenclaw table. Harry had almost forgotten about Cho, scanning the Ravenclaw table, Harry found that he couldn't see her, standing up he made his way over to the house table, he asked one of Cho's friend where she was.
"Have you seen Cho?" He asked
"I'm sorry Harry but we haven't seen her at all this term, I think she's still getting over Cedric, if you want I'll send her an OWL!"
"No its okay, thanks any ways," Harry said then made his way back to his seat.
"So it can't be Cho," Harry's thoughts were disrupted as Hermione appeared her arms full of books, She put the books down as she took a seat next to him. Ron smiled at Hermione and went back to his lunch
"So Harry did Professor Trelawney predict another death for you," Hermione said
Harry smiled
"Nope she said that I was going to find love this year," Hermione nearly choked on the juice she was drinking from laughing,
"That women is mad," Ron said
As the lunch went on Harry found himself looking at Hermione and paying no attention to his lunch, she had changed a lot over the 5 years he had know her, her hair wasn't as bushy as it usually was and she was pretty. Harry watched as Hermione looked at him, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Do I have a crumb or something," she asked, Harry blushed embarrassed that he had been court looking at her, he ducked his head and went back to eating, but now and then he found him staring at her
Half an hour later Harry found himself in the library, Hermione was next to him looking thought a book, the library was quite empty only a few students were dotted around. He was trying to study as well, but he couldn't get what Trelawney had said out of his head, he felt like hitting his head off the table a few times.
"Harry have you heard one word of what I've said," Hermione said interrupting his thoughts. He looked up
"Sorry Hermione I was miles away, what were you staying,"
"I was saying that you've been staring at that book case the last ten minutes are you okay Harry" she asked, Harry nodded,
"Yeah just staring into space, sorry, better get some work done," he said, he wasn't going to tell her that it was her he was thinking about, He finally looked down at the book that are open in front of them.
"I've been studying all summer, but still a bit unclear on a few things," Hermione said as she took some notes down from the book.
"I don't know even where to start," Harry said. Hermione smiled at him,
"its okay Harry that's why I'm here, I think the subject we need to concentrate is Potions, I think Snape is going to be a nasty as ever with the potions we need to do, that's why I bought this book," Hermione said tapping the pages of the book." Harry nodded and for a few minutes they both took notes.
"darn ran out of ink, its okay if I use some of yours," Hermione said trying to get the last bit of ink out of her quill but it was a losing battle, Harry nodded and Hermione lent forward over the book her face was so close to Harry's that he could feel her breath on his cheek. Harry reached out to pass the bottle and Hermione's own hand grazed his own, this time the feeling was different then the time at Platform 9 3/4.
"Sorry," Hermione whispered her lips close to his own, but neither of them moved, Hermione blinked and Harry felt like he wanted to kiss Hermione, They both started to lent forward, their lips were just touching
"I wonder what she finds out about you this time," Ron said playing with the edge of the bright pink table cloth. Harry shrugged his shoulder.
"Most likely find in her tea leaves I die at the end of this year or something just as gruesome." Harry mumbled. At that moment Professor Trelawney entered the room.
