Dear Diary,

Divination was certainley interesting yesterday. IÕll start from the beginning.

It was Breakfast, and the bell rang, signalling us to get to our classes. James and I headed towards the Divination room, up in the North tower (Sirius, Remus, and Peter werenÕt taking Divination, so they of course didnÕt come with us). When we got there, it was just as I remembered, only with out the sickeningly sweet fumes. James and I took a table at the back of the class room, sat down in the chairs, and the rest of the class filed in. It turned out that we would be taking Divination with the Hufflepuffs and the Ravenclaws (6th years, mind you). Anyway, as the class was filing in, James noticed Lily, and he started poking me, which I found rather annoying.

ÒJames, what?Ó I said, ÒIs it Lily?Ó

ÒYeah!Ó James said, so excited that he was almost bouncing in his seat.

ÒUh, James,Ó I said, ÒI know youÕre excited, but youÕve got to calm down. Lily might not come over here,Ó I added, noticing that Lily was head for the only table where she could find a seat. It also happened to be the table where James and I were sitting at.

ÒHello, Lily.Ó James said causualy, as she sat down.

ÒQuiet Potter.Ó Lily replied, then added, ÒHello Harry.Ó Lily smiled at me, and I said Hello back.

ÒWhat did I do Evans, to warrant such hostile behavior?Ó James said.

ÒYouÕre mere existance.Ó

ÒHey, you two, can you stop aruguing?Ó Right when I said that, the teacher, Professor Darrin started speaking, and the class fell silent.

ÒNow class.Ó He said, ÒI want you to each divide into groups of three. When you have done so, I want you to read eachotherÕs palms. I will be walking around the class room to se how you are doing, and to help you if you need any help.Ó

James immediatley took LilyÕs hand, and started to read her palm.

ÒJames, what are you doing?Ó she said.

ÒWhat does it look like IÕm doing?Ó He replied, ÒIÕm reading you palm.Ó

ÒI donÕt want you to read my palm just now.Ó

James sighed. ÒOh, all right. Hey Harry, can I read your palm?Ó I held out my hand to him. ÒThanks!Ó

ÒNo problem.Ó I replied. But it appeared James was having some trouble. Professor Darrin noticed this, and came over to our table.

ÒHaving trouble, Mr. Potter?Ó

ÒYeah,Ó James said.

ÒWhat seems to be the problem?Ó

ÒWell,Ó James glanced at me, ÒI noticed something unusual when I was reading HarryÕs palm, and IÕm having trouble deciding what it might mean.Ó

ÒI see. Would it be all right If I took a look?Ó Then without waiting for an answer, Professor Darrin took my hand and began reading my palm.

ÒProfessor, what is it?Ó Lily asked worriedly, for Professor DarrinÕs face bacame grave.

ÒI see that you, Harry, will not be with us much longer.Ó He said quietly.

ÒWh-what do you mean?Ó I asked, scared. ÒIÕm not gonna-IÕm not gonna die, am I?Ó

ÒI do not know.Ó

ÒThen...Ó James began, but was interupted but the Professor.

ÒIt appears that...that you, Harry, will just...this is indeed strange.... Harry, it appears that you will just cease to exist. You will just disappear.Ó

ÒHow?Ó I asked, ÒWhen?Ó

ÒI do not know how, but as for when... It will be soon.Ó

ÒHow soon?Ó

ÒVery soon.Ó

IÕm scared. Where will I disappear to? When and how will it happen? Will I disappear back to my own time? So many questions.

I must go. It is very late.

Sneak peak at next chapter (I'll only do sneak peaks occasionally): Harry meets Strider (Aragorn), Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Frodo.
