Ron the Seer

Chapter 1: The boy who foretold

Late one winter's night, Harry, Ron and Hermione were lounging around the Gryffindor common room. Hermione was writing an essay and Ron was playing wizard's chess with Harry. Suddenly a funny thought came into Ron's head.

"Hey Harry, do you reckon I could be a Seer?" he asked.

Immediately Harry and Hermione burst into fits of laughter. It was a deliciously random comment.

"Yeah, when Neville flies!" exclaimed Harry.

"He flew last week, when his 'wingardium leviosa' spell backfired!" said Ron heatedly.

"When Neville gets a girlfriend then." smirked Hermione.

"He does. He's going out with my slutty sister!" Said Ron blinking.

"Hehehehe. You're sister's slutty!" laughed Harry.

"But what's that got to do with me being a Seer?" said Ron angrily.

Both Hermione and Harry sighed. They could not believe their friend was actually serious about this.

"Look, Ron, Seer's inherit their gift for prophecy making. I doubt any of your family has the ability to do so. You would certainly have told us about it if they did." explained Hermione.

"That's bollocks. My dad's made heaps of prophecies. He wrote me, telling me I was going to fail my exam if I didn't study last week, and it happened!"

"Did you study?" asked Hermione.

"Nope." said Ron.

"Well, that's why you failed then, isn't it?" said Hermione.

"Which is exactly what the prophecy foretold! Are you even listening..."

But that was as far into the sentence as he got. Suddenly he went rigid in his arm chair. His eyes became unfocused and his mouth sagged.

"THERE ARE STRONG FRIENDSHIPS BETWEEN THOSE IN THIS ROOM. HOWEVER BY THE NEXT FULL MOON, THREE WEEKS FROM NOW, ONE FRIENDSHIP WILL BE DESTROYED, AND ANOTHER WILL BLOSSOM INTO SOMETHING MORE." He said harshly.

And when Ron came back to his senses he found both Harry and Hermione laughing and applauding wildly.

"Bravo, bravo!" said Harry wiping away tears of laughter from his eyes. 'That was a bloody brilliant performance."

"Encore!" said Hermione. "That was great. A very realistic portrayal. How'd long did you take to practice it?"

"What?" asked Ron. "What did I say?"

"Ooh. Still in character are we?" laughed Hermione.

"What? Seriously, what did I say???" said Ron angrily.

"I don't know... something about a friendship being destroyed and another being something more. I was too busy laughing at your face." Smiled Harry.

"Guys, I'm serious. I didn't plan that. Wow... my first prophecy! I really am a Seer." mused Ron.

"Sure you are Ron. Hey, maybe you can predict my victory in this game. Castle to E6!" said Harry ordering his castle to attack Ron's bishop.

"Not a chance." grinned Ron, as his focus went back to the game, and Hermione's back to her essay.

It was strangely quiet as they continued with their activities, and one could distinctly hear the dull roar of the fireplace. But that was because Ron, Harry and Hermione, who were at that time still best friends, were the only three people in Gryffindor common room that night.

Author's Note: Hope you liked it! Is Ron really a Seer? If you think he is, please review and make your own prophecy! Who'll do you think will get with who? And which friendship will fall apart?
