By the light of the moon

Disclaimer: It's obvious. I am NOT J.K.Rowling and therefore I do not own Harry Potter.

Hermione stared at the book she was holding.

"What's the matter Mione?" said Ron looking very worried.

He and Harry stared as they read what the book said.

Book: If you have managed to find this book then you are a goddess of the moon. Please read on to understand your powers.

Harry said "Goddess?! Hermione, you're a goddess?!"

"Read on, let's see what the book says," said Ron rather sensibly for him though looking very pale and surprised.

"Ok," said Hermione shrugging, as surprised as the rest of them.

Book: The first signs of being a moon goddess usually appear around the age of fifteen. One will look different from your usual self in the moonlight. You will also have a love for the moon.

Harry and Ron stared at Hermione. "So far what this book's saying is true," said Hermione looking very surprised and pale. "I'll read on."

Book: As you grow older, if your powers are not understood and controlled they can cause serious harm.

They all exchanged a shocked stare and Hermione began to continue reading.

Book: However when properly understood, your powers can be used for great good. Note, your powers should never be used for evil. When you first find out about your true heritage you will have very basic powers. These include being able to travel on moonbeams, the moon's changing with your various moods and being able to tell when someone untrustworthy is around.

History of Moon Goddesses

But Hermione could not read anymore of this extraordinary book. She looked lost for words.

Harry said "Hermione you are powerful then. Very powerful."

"Hermione if those are your initial powers then as you grow older, you will become very powerful," was Ron's initial surprised remark.

"Moon goddess? Me?" squeaked Hermione. "This is so hard to believe."

But Harry, who had been leafing through the book, said "Look at this Hermione. You are a moon goddess. This proves it."

It was the names of moon goddesses over the years. Harry read out ". . . Samantha Forde, Tonia Seale, Chanel Barker-Webster, Lily Evans-Potter . . .

Wait a minute, that's my mom's name. My MOM was a moon goddess?!"

Ron continued still in complete shock "Hermione Granger," he whispered. "The book says that the next goddess will be either Sarah Cadogan or Virginia Weasley. Virginia Weasley?! That's Ginny!"

The three stared at each other in shock. Just then the bell rang. "We've got to go to class," said Hermione. "I don't know how I'm going to concentrate in Arithmancy . . ."

"And we've got divination . . . See you," said Harry and Ron.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When they got to divination, Professor Trelawney announced in her mistiest voice "Today we are doing fire omens. Please turn to page 77 in Unfogging the future. Oh and you boy," this was to Neville, "Don't go to close to the fire, you'll get burnt." Neville gulped and looked nervous.

"Now at first I know that you will not see anything at all so each of you will come to the fire by me and I will explain what the intricate patterns mean. Harry Potter please come first," said Professor Trelawney mistily.

"Bet you ten sickles that she will predict my death," said Harry to Ron who laughed and turned it into a choke.

Sure Enough "I see death swooping, circling over the castle," said Trelawney. Harry looked like he would fall asleep and when he went back to his seat he muttered "Ron you owe me ten sickles."

And so It went on until Ron when she said just before te bell rang, "Something has happened tha will change your life forever."

When they were walking to Transfiguration Ron said "Real prediction at last."
