Chapter Four:

"Are you in the beyond?" Trewlany said.

"I'm never going to get there if you keep asking and I don't know if I am or not!" Dre snapped loudly. Trewlany sighed.

"You must try harder. Is there anything in particular you want to find out?" She asked.

"Not really," Dre said. She had millions of requests to find out for other people. The news that she could see into the future had spread around the school like wild fire, and now they wouldn't leave her alone.

"Pick something," Trewlany said, trying not to sound testy.

"I'm thinking," Dre said. She thought, and thought, and thought. Trewlany didn't bug her, but Dre could sense that she was on the verge of explosion.

"OK, I have an idea," Dre said. She gazed into the crystalline depths, and began to think. What's going to happen to Pansy Parkinson? The vapor swirled...and swirled... and swirled creating no effect.

"It's not working!" Dre snapped. Trewlany looked disappointed.

"Alright, how about we try tea leaves?" Trewlany said. Dre moaned.

"Right, there's nothing more fun than looking at the goop in the bottom of someone's tea cup," Dre said.

"Alright then what do you suggest?" Trewlany said, misty composure gone.

"Nothing. I suggest we call it a day. I've been staring in that stupid ball for the past hour, and frankly? I've had it!" Dre said standing up.

"But you have so much potential! Why not put it to full use!" Trewlany cried.

"How bout I don't exhaust my ability?" Dre said. Trewlany looked at her severely.

"Good day!" Dre said, and she walked over to the trap door, kicked it open, and began her descent.

"Have a good extra lesson?" Hermione asked. Dre looked up.

"What are you doing up here?" Dre said. Hermione grinned.

"I knew you were up here, and figured you'd like to know, there's an entire group of giddy girls waiting to ask you to look into their future," Hermione said.

"Are you kidding?" Dre said.

"Why would I?" Hermione said.

"Thanks Hermione," Dre said, and she started to walk miserably down the hall.

"I can show you another way out," Hermione said. Dre turned around.

"Really?" Dre said.

"Yeah, follow me," She said grinning, and they walked down a completely separate way.

"Wow, I didn't even know this hall existed," Dre said.

"I didn't either until last week," Hermione said. Dre grinned.

"Thanks for saving me," Dre said.

"No problem, but I do have a favor to ask," Hermione said. Dre's heard sank. She had a nasty feeling it wasn't help with an assignment.

"Ok," Dre said slowly.

"Don't hurt Ron. He's a nice guy, and he has a lot of heart, and when he finds something he likes, he really takes it to heart. So don't... Don't hurt him. He's to nice for that," Hermione said. Dre stopped.

"Does Ron like me or something?" Dre said.

"Sorry, but yes. If you don't like him back, please let him down easy," Hermione said, and she walked off down the hall. Dre slowly walked down to Slytherin common room. Ron like me? Wow how weird. I never thought he even looked twice at me in that light. Dre thought. A small smile played across her lips, as she entered the common room.

"Hey Dre!" Madison said. Dre grinned and waved.

"Can you do me a favor?" Madison asked.

"Depends," Dre said shortly.

"Can you look into my future?" Madison said. Dre looked up at her. She was smiling nastily, and Pansy was standing behind her giggling. Jewel was also standing there, but not looking nearly as pleased.

"Really? You want me? Sure consider it a deal," Dre said. Madison's jaw dropped and Pansy immediately stopped giggling. "Come here, let's do it now!" Dre said. She slammed her book back onto the ground and smiled, as Madison walked over. She sat down, pulled a table between them, and smiled.

"Sit on the ground Madison. What do you want me to see?" Dre said. Madison looked at her; now she was nervous.

"Future," Madison said. "Like who am I going to marry?" She said.

"And what if I tell you?" Dre said.

"I guess I'll know then won't I?" Madison said.

"Alright, so say if I tell you're going to marry this guy named John, and he comes along. You start to date him, and you marry him," Dre said. "What next?"

"Sounds like a happily ever after," Madison said.

"Yeah, why'd you marry him? Just because I said that you'd love him? What if I lie to you?" Dre asked. Madison looked at her hardly.

"Just do it!" Madison snapped. Dre smiled.

"Fine," Dre said. She looked at Madison. "Give me your locket," Dre said. Madison took off her necklace, and handed it to her. Dre held it in her hand, and then looked at her.

"And a lock of your hair," Dre said.

"Excuse me?" Madison snapped.

"You heard me. You want the future don't you? Just give me the hair," Dre said. Madison took a pair of scissors, and gave her a small lock of hair. Dre sat there for a few minutes.

"Withering Withering Withering," Dre said. "What was the last thing you said?" Dre said her voice gaining voices. She felt so distant, but she needed to know. Madison's face had become blurry.

"Excuse me?" Madison said. Dre smiled. "That's it. Say it over and over," Dre said. She could here Madison repeating it over and over.

A little girl walked down the street, a dog came and attacked her, mauling her. Madison was terribly afraid of dogs. A teenage girl was in her room listening to cd's A teenage girl kissing her boyfriend. An older girl was walking down a hallway at Wizarding Collage. She ran into someone. A handsome young man. She's in a beautiful white dress, walking down the isle. Someone walks in and objects. She turns around. An old boyfriend still madly in love with her. Madison's fiancée says no. Her old boyfriend pulls out his wand. "Don't be stupid!" Her fiancée says. The man laughs hysterically. He shouts a spell. A flash of green light and her fiancée crumples to the ground. Madison runs down the isle to her fiancée's side. Dead. "No! Please no! Eric please! Eric! No how could you do this Aaron! I loved Eric!" Madison says, sobbing over his body. "You won't have me? Than you won't have anybody!" Aaron shouts. Aaron wields the wand, and Madison also crumples dead. People are in hysteria. Aaron then puts the wand to his head, kills himself. Everyone in Hysteria, hysteria, people screaming. People crying out.

Dre snapped back to the present. Madison was looking at her.

"What happened?" Madison said. Dre looked at Madison. She dies so young! Dre thought.

"I don't know, I could only get the past," Dre said.

"Are you sure?" Madison said.

"YES!" Dre snapped, and she walked away. Dropping the locket and the hair.

"Hey you ok?" Draco said, as she stormed out of the common room.

"Yes!" Dre snapped. She looked at him.

"I'm sorry," Dre said.

"It's ok," Draco said. "You've had a rough weekend," He said. "Want to go for a walk?" Draco asked. Dre smiled.

"That would be wonderful."
