Now for the story, enjoy and review!
Hermione and Harry now were placed into a new classroom. It was oddly familiar and smelled strongly of incense. The room made Hermione feel quiet drowsy.
"We're in Trelawney's room," Harry whispered to her.
Hermione curiously craned her neck over the many arm chairs and tables.
"Where do you think she is?" Hermione asked.
Just that moment, as if answering her question, a drawling voice answered from the midst; "welcome to my task. I foresee heartache and achievements-
Hermione let out a loud sigh followed by a groan.
"-I also knew that I would be seeing you; the girl whom hasn't recognized the inner eye." Professor Trelawney said sternly.
Hermione scoffed. Harry let out a muffled laugh.
Professor Trelawney pivoted around in her arm chair. She looked gravely at the both of them.
"Come sit, I have already prepared for your task since I knew through previous predictions that you would be coming."
"I wonder how she knew that." Harry whispered impishly to Hermione.
"Please, take your seats. If you will notice, I have placed a deck of tarot cards in front of your seats." Professor Trelawney's voice seemed to float in the air. Hermione barely caught any of this. A strong aroma reached her senses. It made her light headed. She had never felt this drawn to this type of false magic. All the same she sat down and peered at the stack of tarot cards in front of her.
"Now, the each of you will read the tarot cards to each other and then one of you will have to interpret what they mean for their partner. You may begin," said Professor Trelawney.
"I know what these are!" Hermione said excitedly. "I've seen muggles try to read them before on TV!"
"Hmmm," murmured Trelawney. "I've heard of muggle cards before. They're not near as precise as the deck you have in front of you."
Hermione wasn't too sure of this. They looked exactly the same.
"Ok then Harry, draw.erm, 10 cards." Hermione had never used tarot cards so Harry had to tell Hermione what to do.
"Hermione," Harry whispered, "Put that card over that one and then place four more in a vertical line to your right."
Oh thank god Harry knows what he's doing
"Oh, er thanks," said Hermione blushing.
"I'm pretty sure that's right, we haven't done tarot cards yet in divination but I read about them before," Harry said grinning. He was enjoying knowing something that Hermione didn't.
"Now flip them over and read out their meanings Ms. Granger," ordered Trelawney.
Hermione flipped over the first five cards, each representing past events; destruction, death, obstacles, riches, and fame. Now it was time to flip over the remaining ones to see what the future held in store.
Hermione; her hand trembling turned over the first card. She didn't quiet understand what it meant at first. The card showed a tower which looked similar to kind she used to see in her muggle fairy tale books.
"Doesn't look to bad," she said encouragingly to Harry who looked just as curious as Professor Trelawney. Then all too suddenly a person jumped out of the tower. Hermione jumped when this happened, she had never heard of tarot cards that moved. Perhaps that was because she was used to seeing muggle tarot cards on TV.
After a few seconds time the whole enchanted tower burst into flames. The sight was quiet disturbing.
"The tower; a signal of sudden change. I also foresee a time of emotional breakdown of old beliefs. Next there is abandonment of past relationships and the severing of a friendship. I foresee unexpected events and the loss of stability and security." Professor Trelawney was absolutely beaming when she finished reading the card.
"Quiet sorry Ms. Granger, I just got carried away. You will now decipher the rest of the cards," said Trelawney as she sat back down into her padded armchair.
"But...but...Professor, I dropped out remember; I don't have the meanings memoriz-"
Professor Trelawney cut Hermione off. "Fine, fine, Ms. Granger, there is a book next to you that explains what each card means. You may look at if you are absolutely stumped.
Hermione then flipped over the next few cards only to foresee the exact same thing as the last card. Harry even had to help Professor Trelawney back into her chair after she fell out of it when Hermione turned over the 'death' card.
Finally it was time to turn over the last card. Professor Trelawney nearly toppled out of her chair for the third time.
Hermione blushed scarlet. She tried to hid the card from Harry, but he was determined to know what the card said
Hermione slowly turned the card around for Harry to see it.
He also blushed. The top of the card showed a man and woman. It wouldn't have been half bad if they hadn't been completely in the nude.
"Will you please interpret the card Ms. Granger," said Professor Trelawney sounding a bit impatient.
Hermione picked up the small scarlet book next to her and flipped through the pages when she finally found the interpretation of the lovers.
"New love. beauty. harmony. A beginning of a relationship. Deep feelings. Freedom of emotion.Struggle between sacred and profane love.A meaningful affair." Hermione didn't want to look up. She could feel Harry's gaze upon her.
Hermione was grateful that she only had to read 10 cards.
"Well, if that's it then I will have to let you carry on with the next task. I sense that there will be an intermission ahead of you." Professor Trelawney sighed and took in a deep breath. She closed her eyes and seemed to be talking to herself.
"Longbottom will be arriving next. I will have to remind my self to keep my tea cups out of the way."
Harry laughed. Hermione would have if she felt more in the mood. She had never believed in anything Professor Trelawney said before, why should she start now.
Harry seemed to have read her mind and he tried to comfort her by saying, "You know how the old bat is, practically everything she says is just a prediction, it's not real. Besides how can cards tell anyone's future?"
Harry was probably right, but that wasn't what was bothering her. She noticed that she kept looking into his eyes. She had never done that before and she kept catching herself doing it more than once. She felt like she was being hypnotized by some other force. Perhaps it was because they were an unusual shade of emerald green?
They were already standing next to their portkey and Harry obviously knew something else was on Hermione's mind.
"You're still not hung up about the reading are you?" He asked quietly.
"Of course not, why would you think that?" Hermione lied.
She was of course, worried about the cards for some unknown reason. She didn't know why but hopefully she would forget all about them when they went to the intermission.
Harry obviously didn't believe her. He grabbed her arm which made Hermione turn around to face him. She couldn't read his emotions. He had unsure look which meant he didn't believe her story.
"Look Harry, I don't know what's gotten into m-"
She was quickly cut off as Harry leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. Her hormones were raging. She felt butterflies in her stomach as well. Her brain wasn't working properly and she couldn't get out a clear thought out. Before she knew it she was wrapping her hands around Harry's neck and bringing him in for another kiss. This time it was longer and more passionate. It was unlike any kiss she had before. It was full of emotion. Harry unsure of where to place his hands; secured them around her waist. Hermione squealed at his touch. Finally, she broke away, she was breathing deeply, and she noticed Harry was as well.
"I think we'd better hurry to our next task," Hermione said in between intakes of air. She was looking directly into his eyes this time. She knew now why she was always mesmerized. It was more obvious now than ever before. She was in love. But she had known that all along, she just wasn't sure it was real.
Harry seemed to be contemplating the same thing.
"Ready?" He asked smiling sheepishly.
Hermione nodded and they both clutched the portkey in their hands.
Professor Trelawney; whom neither Hermione nor Harry noticed was standing in the shadows of the classroom. Her arms crossed. Her bright eyes reflected the fire which was barely kindling in the fireplace.
She had seen what had happened. She had seen that happen before they even arrived, but it seemed at the time unimportant to tell them.
Professor Trelawney only smiled as she straightened up the deck of tarot cards for the next pair of students.
