Welcome once again to: If Only That Iguana Hadn't Showed Up! It's time for chapter 3 everyone! Aren't you glad, because I know I am! And now, thanks to reviewer Professor Farfie's suggestion, the iguana will now interrupt good old Professor Trelawney's class! Oh… I'm also going to get rid of Frenz, he is still there he just doesn't teach any longer. AND this is in the 6th year by the way, so I guess Ron and Harry received owls for Trelawney's class. No matter how ridiculous their exams were.
* * * * *
It had been a week since anyone had seen the iguana. Many people began to believe that it had died in the explosion, but that had not been the case. It just happened to be lying low in the Gryffindor 6th year dorms. Neville had successfully hidden Iggy, the iguana's name, in his part of the room. But what people didn't know was that the iguana was working for him. For you see Neville had heard the prophecy somehow, and had become insanely jealous of Harry. So he had hired the iguana for revenge. But what Neville didn't know, was that Iggy was also working for Voldermort. Neville mad at Iggy, for the Snape incident (but he didn't know any better), gave it one last chance to strike revenge on the boy-who-lived. And it just so happened to be in Professor Trelawney's class that the iguana had appeared again.
Harry and Ron had climbed their way up the silver ladder, and walked to the nearest window table where they sat down. "Bugger, this room is worse than usual!" said Harry as he leaned over and opened the window. "I agree," replied Ron, as he moved his chair closer to the window, and Harry. Harry just looked at Ron with a raised eyebrow. "What?" asked Ron. Harry muttered 'nothing', and just shook his head. Once the last person climbed up the stairs, who just happened to be Neville, Professor Trelawney started to hand out dream oracle books. "Now, this is just a review of last year's subjects, but I would like you to practice interpreting others dreams'." She said in her misty voice. Ron and Harry groaned along with about every other person in the room. "In the mean time I shall be calling each one of you up to my desk, so that I can read this year's fortunes for you." Once again groans filled the air. "Hannah Abbot," she called.
As Hannah walked up to Professor Trelawney, Ron turned to Harry and asked, "Well… What was your most recent dream about?" Harry rolled his eyes at Ron, for he had not had any dreams recently. Not even ones that some how included Voldermort. His last dream that he could remember had been two weeks ago, and had involved Sirius. And Harry did not care to share that with Ron. So instead he decided to make something up. "Well," he said, "I…um…I dreamt that the iguana had grown to be as big as Godzilla…"
"Who's Godzilla?" interrupted Ron. Harry looked at him for a moment as if he was dumb, but then remembered that Ron had not grown up in the muggle world.
"It's like a dragon, only it doesn't have wings. And it's from a muggle movie." Stated Harry.
"Oh… But that still doesn't explain how tall he is." Ron replied. Harry paused for a moment to think of what Godzilla could relate to in the wizarding world. His thoughts went back to his 4th year, and the first task of the Tri-Wizarding tournament. "It's as tall as the Horntail that I was up against in 4th year." Ron's eyes just grew larger as he pictured the horntail, and then the iguana as large as the horntail. Ron sat this way for a few minutes, and Harry began to believe that Ron had started to imagine them going at each other.
"Who's winning?" asked Harry. "The iguana…What? Oh… Sorry mate." Ron replied. Harry shook his head at Ron's ignorance, and then asked, "So do you want to hear the rest of my dream now?" "Sure." Ron stated.
So Harry continued telling Ron his dream, and had just gotten to the part where the Iguana had started to ravage Tokyo, when they heard Hannah Abbot shriek. Many people thought that Professor Trelawney had told Hannah something particularly horrible, but when they looked round to see what was the matter they saw what the matter was. In the crystal ball was a very distorted looking iguana. In all of the excitement many people did not see that Neville had put his hand over his mouth and duck under the table. And those that had, thought that he was remembering the potion's accident, and was frightened out of his wits.
Professor Trelawney's unusually large eye's had grown even larger behind her glasses. "Oh no!" she whispered. "The horrible thing I have seen! It's coming true!" she gasped. Ron and Harry just looked at each other as they heard Lavender and Pravati shriek, for the iguana had moved from out behind the crystal ball. "Stay back children," said Professor Trelawney. Lavender started to back away, and then noticed that Pravati had not moved, so she grabbed her robes. Lavender then started to whisper in her ear, and Pravati's eyes grew large. As Pravati heard the last of what Lavender was saying, she turned, pushed Lavender towards the trapdoor, and at the same exact time knocked over a cauldron full of love potion. Everyone turned at the loud crash that it made, and everyone froze. This was because the cauldron had been very close to Professor Trelawney's table, and with the iguana no longer in sight, no one had a clue how close it was too the potion. Once this thought had gone through everyone's minds, they ran as fast as they could towards the trapdoor.
That's when it happened. Instead of an explosion, a 3 foot iguana appeared, and it kept growing. As soon as the last person had gone through the trap door, Professor Trelawney followed them. She tried to close the door, but there was a four foot around tail poking out. "RUN!" she shouted. And as soon as Harry and Ron had passed Sir Cadogan and his stead, they heard a loud cracking noise, and felt a rumble beneath their feet. It was only till the next morning that they learned what had happened.
It seemed that the love potion had caused Iggy to grow so large that he could no longer fit inside the small, round classroom. And instead of stopping, he kept growing until he WAS as large as a horntail. Once Ron had heard this, he had turned to Harry and said, "Blimey mate, I didn't know you had the inner eye!"
