Characters and background are from J.K. Rowling's brilliant work. All credit goes to her. Plus, story theme is from William Shakespeare's Macbeth. I only revamped the story to make it fit Hogwarts.
"Lavender...your late!" Said a shrill voice. It came from the shadows of the room. Lavender looked towards where the voice came from but couldn't see a thing. Suddenly a match lit and a candle was lighted. A pretty face appeared. Parvati smiled a bit at Lavender and brought the candle up to light the candelabra. As more light appeared, Professor Trelawney's irritated face became visible. The divination teacher's beady eyes showed behind her large glasses. She lifted up an arm with lots of bracelets and beckoned Lavender. The clinking of the jewelry was the only noise heard.
"I'm sorry professor, I got caught up in my transfiguration homework" replied Lavender rather quietly.
"You know how important this it, don't you? I was under the presumption that you wanted to pursue your studies in Divination?" spoke the Professor.
Lavender was rather shocked at Trelawney's anger.
"aaah child, I know you desire the sight. I see great things in your future. But you must be on time. For next time, please ignore Neville's plea to help find his toad....and set your alarm. Yes....that should work out fine"
Lavender sighed and nodded. She looked at Parvati who had a serious but fascinated expression on her face. Her arm was getting tired from holding the candelabra. Lavender approached her and put a hand on her shoulder. She smiled a bit and Parvati nodded.
"Now girls...."spoke the professor again. "Why have we come here?"
"To see fate....to know tomorrow and all hereafter" replied Parvati solemnly
"and...more specifically?" asked Trelawny
"To see Hogwarts' future" answered Lavender
Proffessor Trelawny smiled. She walked away from the light and towards the shadows. Rustling was heard, as well as the sound of clinking bracelets. Suddenly a bright blue orb ignited. It was the professor's private crystal ball. Parvati gasped. This was a rare treat indeed. The professor winked and beckoned to the girls to sit around her.
When Lavender and Parvati were comfortable on the poufs, Professor Trelawny began...
"Show us spirits what we need to see"
Lavender stared into the ball but could only see blue fog. She needed to concentrate more. She wanted....needed....to see. The fog began to lift. Suddenly she knew what was going to happen. It was as if she momentarily fainted and then awoke with the knowledge. Lavender felt scared, and panicked and thrilled at the same time. She knew! Oh....but she knew what was perhaps not good to know. She couldn't understand all this new information. It was too much, like she was punched. Lavender looked towards Parvati. She was shaking and had tears in her eyes. Then, Lavender looked towards Trelawney. She looked perplexed but undisturbed. "Well...perhaps we will see something another time."
Lavender was shocked.
Trawlaney looked like normal. "It is way too late for you two. Off to bed! Oh, and Parvati....don't be too upset at the Charms grade you will receive after your next exam"
Parvati wiped her eyes and look confused at the Proffesor. She began moving towards the stairs and Lavender shortly after her. Suddenly the Proffessor called out. "When shall we three meet again?"
Lavender answered too quickly. She didn't think before.
"When the chaos is finished and the battle is lost or won. Here to meet with Draco."
Parvati gasped and Lavender covered her mouth with her hand. They looked up at Trelawney who was quite perplexed.
"Have you been getting enough sleep, dear. Well...I see that you know when to come. I was just testing you of coarse. Come then...." And she pushed them towards the stairs.
Lavender and Parvati climbed down briskly. They walked to the Gryffindor common room in silence. Half way there, Parvati stopped and motioned for Lavender to stop as well.
"Lav...she didn't...."
"I know. Only us two saw" answered Lavender.
"What does it all mean? Can we change what will happen?" asked Parvati in a low, almost frightened voice.
"You know the answer to that as well as I do. We can not." Lavender tried to remain calm although her heart was beating rapidly.
"But...Draco...he.."
"No!, what's meant to be will be. We are seers. We will say what we know we must and that will be all." Interrupted Lavender.
Parvati nodded her head and they walked the rest of the way in continued silence.
They reached the portrait hole all too quickly, lost in their thoughts. They climbed the stairs to their room. Hermione was still up, studying. She gave them a brief smile before resuming. Lavender and Parvati looked at each other and nodded. They both fell asleep quickly, lost in their harsh dreams.
