A/N: I am so sorry I updated too late. I've had so much to do lately; I am
surprised that I am able to write this! It's a really short chap, but I'll
update, maybe tomorrow! Thanks to Jessica again for the short but sweet
review. Lol. Happy Canada Day, for any other Canadians.
Chapter Five: First Day of Classes
In the Astronomy Tower
Holly, Ron and Harry had just entered the Astronomy Tower, a minute left before the class started. There were odd scents around the room and everyone was using some sort of fan to keep them cool. Holly, Ron and Harry were the last students to arrive. The only desk left, thankfully (for them), was the back one. Each desk was occupied by three people so they sat down with Holly sitting in the middle. She looked excited for her new class, but had had a scrunched up nose because of the smell of it.
"Trelawny is really kooky," Ron whispered, "best be aware she might predict your death as well." Holly looked at him with a confused look on her face and Harry chuckled quietly.
"He's only joking with you. She may be a kook but remember the prediction she made two years ago. The one that came true?" He said first to Holly and then to Ron. Holly looked confused, but Ron just shrugged.
"What came true?" Holly whispered. But before Harry could answer a big puff of smoke appeared and Professor Trelawny entered.
"Ahhhh. Welcome to your Fifth Year Divination class. This year you will learn to feel the presence of different emotions and senses. It is very difficult and only few possess the gift." She looked over to where Parvati and Lavender were sitting and they started to giggle. "But this whole class will try and hopefully be able to complete the examinations at the end of the year. I, as the first teacher you have this year, am to inform you that O.W.L.S. are to be taken this year so I encourage all of you to pay attention in class.." She drifted off but started walking towards the back of the classroom, where Holly, Ron and Harry were sitting. She waved her hand in the air around the three confused students. She started speaking, "I feel, I feel an odd presence in this area. Not very welcoming." Harry, Ron and most of the class rolled their eyes, Parvati and Lavender gasped, and Holly looked at Harry. Trelawny looked at him as well, as she shifted her large glasses.
Everyone was looking bored until Dean Thomas raised his hand and coughed. Trelawny turned around and asked, "Yes?"
"What do we do during our examinations?" he asked straightforwardly.
"Well, the Ministry will send examiners and you will be tested. The tests are practical or written depending on the subject. For this class you shall be tested practically, of course. I am not to say what you will be tested on but we will review what is most likely to appear on them. Oh, and dear," she said turning to Pansy Parkinson, "you must wash your hair very thoroughly. I See something terrible happening to it." Pansy's face reddened and quickly looked down, seeming very interested in her shoes.
"Now," continued Trelawny, "for the first term we shall be studying palmistry to a deeper extent." She went on telling them what the fine lines on their hands meant. Such as, number of children, their jobs and how many mortal enemies they will have. Harry and Ron doubted that any of this was true, but Holly wasn't so sure.
"It says that you're going to have 5 kids," started Ron on Holly's hand, "you will have 4 mortal enemies, you are going to be a janitor--"
"What!?!" Holly grabbed her hand and studied it. "I am not going to be a janitor." She started rubbing her hand, hoping it would change.
"Yah, well," Harry said, "I doubt that Ron will have 12 kids, 28 mortal enemies and become a Fairy hunter. This is all a bunch of rubbish. I'm dropping it next year." Ron nodded in agreement. Luckily for them class had ended and they were on their way to Potions class.
Arithmancy Class
Hermione unpacked her bag on the desk at the very front of the class. There weren't a lot of students taking Arithmancy, but she couldn't see why. It was her favourite class after all. She took out her quill and sat patiently for Professor Vector to arrive. She glanced at the door as it opened. It was Malfoy and Co. Hermione could not believe that Crabbe and Goyle actually took this class, as it was way too complicated for them to even read the first word in the book. They always failed the class, and always came back. The only reason they returned was because Malfoy was in that class. Hermione studied his face quickly, for she did not want to look at him for long. It didn't look like he had done anything, which was unusual, because he always had an expression on his face as though he had completed some awful scheme.
Hermione turned away quickly as Professor Vector entered behind Malfoy. He took a seat in the opposite side of the room. Thank God, thought Hermione. Then the professor started talking about the OWLs as Trelawny had with the others. Hermione listened attentively and took notes just in case she forgot anything later on, which was very unlikely. After many questions from Crabbe and Goyle, the class started on their first assignment. It was very complicated, so, naturally, Hermione finished in five minutes. She started on the homework that was due a week later until the class had finished. She packed her bag and strolled to the dungeons for Potions class. Hopefully, Hermione thought, I'll be able to talk to Holly during class.
