Chapter 9: Inside the Crystal Ball
Professor Trelawney entered the room in her usual way. "Today we will be reviewing crystal balls again," she said in her misty voice, "Each of you take one and start your work."
Harry and Ron each got a crystal ball from the shelf, and set them down at the table.
"This is a waste of time," said Ron, "If we haven't seen anything yet, we are not going to."
"Ron!" said Harry suddenly.
"What don't you agree?" asked Ron.
"Yes, but look at this," said Harry. There was a very clear picture in the fog of Harry's crystal ball. This picture would have scared anybody else. Inside was a huge black dog, the "grim". But that was not all. There were also two stag, a wolf, and a rat. The dog, wolf, and stags where all staring at the rat. One of the stags was slightly smaller and had its hoof on the rat's tail. The rat was shaking with fear.
"Oh dear," said Professor Trelawney, "Do you know what this means?"
"I have a good guess," said Harry trying not to laugh, "but would you mind telling us your interpretation?"
"The grim means you are going to die," said Trelawney.
"Back to normal again," thought Harry.
"The rat means that one of your friends is going to betray you."
"That happened sixteen years ago," Harry thought.
"A stag means quick," said Trelawney, "so it is going to happen very soon. The wolf means than someone wants something that you have."
"So, Harry is going to die soon because a friend that wants what he has is going to betray him," said Ron.
"Exactly," said Trelawney.
As she walked away Ron couldn't help but laugh silently. "It looks to me like the rat is the one that is going to die," said Ron.
"Come on this is very serious," said Harry.
"I'm sorry," said Ron, "what do you think it means? You don't believe that prediction do you?"
"Of course not," said Harry, "but I do have a guess at what it means."
"Well?" asked Ron.
"It means that Peter is going to get caught," said Harry.
"I think you should find someway to let Sirius know," said Ron, "That would cheer him up."
"Unfortunately, there is no way," said Harry, "I do not want to send this though the Minister of Magic, but I will tell Katelyn."
After class Harry told Katelyn and Hermione about the picture in the crystal ball. Katelyn was speechless.
"Well, we know who the dog, rat, wolf, and one of the stags are, but who could be the second stag?"
"I don't know," said Harry.
"Isn't it obvious?" said Ron.
"What do you mean?" asked Harry.
"It is you," said Ron.
"And how do you figure?" asked Hermione.
"Well the bigger stag is his dad. Who else could it be?" asked Ron.
"Well, my patronous is a stag," said Harry, "so I guess it could be."
"I bet when you become an animagus you will be a stag also," said Katelyn.
"Ok," said Hermione, "so, Harry is going to catch Peter Petigrew and set Sirius free."
"Hey, wait a minute, how do you know that I am going to be the one who finds him?" asked Harry.
"You're the one with the hoof on his tail aren't you?" answered Ron.
"Great, now I have even more pressure in being the one to find him," said Harry.
"Don't worry," said Katelyn, "We trust you."
"You're not going to stop looking though just because I am the one who supposedly catches him are you?" asked Harry.
"Of coarse not," said Hermione, "I don't trust crystal balls enough to risk him not getting caught."
"You don't believe in them at all," said Ron.
"Exactly," said Hermione, "By the way we're going to be late for History if we don't get going." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Please Review!
