This is a short one. Just a heads up, I need to rewrite the next chapter so forgive me for taking a couple of days before I update again. Thanks for continuing to read the story!

Chapter 9:

It was Hermione who approached Harry first. As they sat together doing their Potions homework, she pulled out the Divination book she had borrowed from Ron.
"I have a couple of ideas about Michelle," she whispered.
Both Harry and Ron leaned in over the table at which they were working.
She opened the book to a page she had marked. "Here, on page 145, I found just a few paragraphs on Seers."
"That would be Trelawny." Harry offered.
"Probably, but it could be Michelle as well. According to this, Seers have visions, read signs, and make predictions, sometimes years in advance. I'm sure you both know this already." She looked at each of them. "Wait, what am I saying..."
Ron frowned, "Hey...let's not forget who dropped this class..."
Harry spoke up. "Anyway, what else does it say?"
"Not much. True Seers are really rare so it's less likely Michelle is one. But, there is another possiblity." She flipped the book to another marked page. "On page 178, we get the beginning of a whole chapter on Projectors."
"Like at the movies?" Harry gave her an amused look.
"Not exactly. A Projector is able to read signs--tea leaves, bones, cards and the like--and they will also make predictions, but the time span is much shorter between prediction and event. It's like a signal is going through the air and a Projector picks it up and 'shows' everyone what the signal is."
"That might explain why she suddenly showed up in Potions. Daphne said she had Divination that hour. Maybe, she saw something during class." Ron said, digging in his pocket for his stash of Bernie Bott's beans.
Hermione stared at him, "When did you talk to Daphne?"
"A cah-pla dahs go..." he said through his chewing. As Hermione gave him an annoyed look, he swallowed and repeated himself. "A couple of days ago."
"Did you talk to her in the common room?"
Ron noticed her voice had become just a tad shrill. "No. Why do you care where I talked to her at?"
"I don't. I just would have liked to hear what else she had to say on the matter."
"What matter? I just asked her if she knew when Michelle was in Divination, thought it would be useful to know." He smiled, "I could talk to her some more if you'd like."
Harry watched as Hermione's face began to turn pink. "I don't think that'll be necessary. Not right now anyway. I asked Neville if he'd heard anything else about Michelle having nightmares. He said she hadn't mentioned it lately. Did the chapter mention anything about scary dreams?"
Hermione continued to stare at Ron even though she was speaking to Harry. "According to what I read here, Projectors don't have visions in their dreams. They get everything while they are awake. I don't know about Seers. I was very disappointed by the lack of information provided by the book."
"Maybe I should ask Daphne if Michelle is still wandering around a night.?" Ron stared right back at Hermione, not entirely sure why he wanted to irritate her so much.
"Maybe you should, apparently you two are mates now..." Hermione slammed the book shut. Grabbing her things, she left quickly and went to her room.
Harry kicked Ron under the table, "What did you piss her off for?"
"I don't know. Why was she acting so weird about me talking to Daphne?"
Harry shot Ron a frustrated look. "One of these days, I'm going to lock you two in a room just to see what happens." He stood up. "C'mon, you better go apologize."
"What am I apologizing for exactly?" He stood and walked with Harry up the steps.
"For being you I suppose..."
"You do realize I will be apologizing till I die..."
