What's in store for the future?
Abi sat down next to Gwyneth during dinner and noticed that she was keeping her head down
"What's the matter?" she asked sighing
"Everyone is staring at my hair...its so embarrassing!" she said dipping her head even lower
"Yeah...even Snape" Abi said surveying the hall and looking back at Gwyneth who was lightly blushing
"Really?" she said looking up to the table, Abi took a moment and looked at Gwyneth then at Snape and finally back at Gwyneth.
"Eew" she said abruptly making a first year that sat next to her spill his drink
"What?" Gwyneth asked
"Eew" she said again
"What?" Gwyneth said annoyed
"Eew!"
"For god sake!! Tell me!!" shouted Gwyneth
"You like Snape!" Abi yelled loud enough for the table across the far end of the hall to hear
"What...haha...eew! No way...why did you think that?" Gwyneth lied brilliantly
"Oh...why were you looking at him then?" Abi asked suspiciously
"Just...curious..."
Up at the teacher's table Snape watched the two girls laugh loudly
He knew he shouldn't't be having these feelings towards a student but when he looked into her beautiful black eyes something came over him that made him forget that she was a student he was brought back to realty by the defense against the dark arts teacher Professor Bell
"So Severus...what do you know of Miss Smith?" he ask slyly
"...Mother A half blood...farther pure blood...brilliant at potions and transfiguration...why do you ask john?"
"Just a wonder Severus...what about miss Stevenson? Anything about her?"
"Miss Stevenson" Snape sighed heavily at the constant questions from professor Bell "mother and farther pure blood...her family is one of the oldest wizarding families in Britain next to the malfoy family...had a accident in potions this morning...as you can see...but a brilliant student in muggle studies, astronomy and divination..."
"Both in slytherin..."
"Yes...that's why they happen to be sitting on the...slytherin table john...anything else?"
"How'd they got in slytherin..."
"First years have to put on the sorting hat...and that will decide what house you will go in." he hissed in a state the obvious tone
"Oh Severus you know what I mean...any family members in slytherin..."
"Miss Stevenson's mother and farther were both a slytherin...and Miss Smith...mother was a ravenclaw farther was a hufflepuff"
"So Miss Smith is a mudblood...and not even a true slytherin"
Snape couldn't't believe he had heard a hogwarts teacher talking about a student with a muggle background he was talking about her like she was a piece of dirt.
"I have to go john...third year practical..."
"Ok..."
Snape stood up and with a whisk of his cloak walked out of the hall
Abi and Gwyneth both stood up and began to walk out of the hall going over their timetable and trying to memorize it
"Right...next...divination...and after that we have..." Gwyneth said almost like testing herself
"You have astronomy...I have a free lesson..." giggled Abi
In the divination class room the fire was burning brightly and a heavy smell of lavender filled the room
"Good after-noon class...welcome back to divination..." said Professor Trelawney mysteriously
"I wonder who will die this year?" joked Ron weasly from behind Gwyneth and Abi, Abi turned round and said to Ron and Harry potter who were both trying not to laugh
"Maybe her...'inner eye' has gone blind and she can't predict any more" she said and all four cracked up
"Miss Smith" Trelawney said getting up of her chair "I would watch you back after Christmas my dear...you never know who might be following you..."
"Really professor...got any good ones for Gwyn this year..."
She looked over at Gwyneth and saw her hair had changed completely.
"My dear...what have you done to your hair..."
"Accident in potions..."
"Professor Snape..." she stopped and thought for a moment about the things she had predicted for Gwyneth and changed her mind of the one containing professor Snape
"A family tragedy will bring darkness to the family name Stevenson and you my dear will be saved by some one you love"
"Tragedy.... in our family...something's finally going to happen to me...fun!" she said breaking into a smile
"You actually believe her..." asked Abi as Trelawney walked away to tell the future to another poor student.
"No..." giggled Gwyneth "like anything's going to happen to us...why did she say Snape though?"
"I don't know."
Ron leaned over and whispered
"Maybe she fancies him..."
The four again laugh and have a very hard struggle to hide it
"This is why I love this lesson," Abi said wiping away a tear from laughing
"Yeah...it's always a laugh especially with those two near our table..."
