Chapter XI
Harry had to wake up Ron for the Divination class.
"No, mate, let me sleep"
"Ron, I also wish I could stay in bed. Get up, c'mon!"
In five minutes, they were leaving to the great hall. They found Hermione and Ginny finishing their breakfast.
"You're late" Hermione said.
"We know that, thanks!" Ron answered in a bad mood. Hermione looked at Harry. "Divination class, Hermione"
She smiled. "I told you to quit it. At least you have Firenze now" She grabbed her rucksack. "Gotta go. See you at lunch" And she ran towards the door.
"And you, Ginny?" Harry asked.
"Potions"
"Thank God I just have to face Snape at Wednesday"
"Luck you. See you later" And she also left them.
"Let's go, Ron"
They crept to the Divination room, which was at the base of the castle, because of Firenze. Professor Sybilla and Professor Firenze were expecting the students at the entrance.
"Let's get inside" Sybilla told them in an ethereal voice.
"Today I'll leave you with Professor Trelawney. I have some. things to do. for the school now" With a head compliment, Firenze left the room.
"I bet now she'll start to predict your death" Ron said to Harry in a whisper. Harry smiled.
Sybilla predicted that it would be a good idea to teach the students how to see the future using cards. She passed to each couple a group of cards and a book of meanings. "Now, one of each couple will shuffle the cards and then let the other choose ten of them, but, it's important, they can not see the cards before taking them. And who will choose them have to catch the cards using its left hand. Don't forget, you must use the left hand. The position you will put the cards over the black silk is shown in the book. So, let's start"
"My future in the cards? Right" Ron did it first. Professor Trelawney took a look and said that Harry would have a problematic year, but he would not die yet. Then she went to Parvati and Lila.
"So, tell me, what year of yours at Hogwarts was not problematic?"
"At least she said I will not die yet" Harry took the cards, shuffled them and let Ron choose, and then placed the cards as the book was showing.
"So, what do you see?"
"True? Nothing"
"My dear boys,." Sybilla was passing by them at that moment ". you should pay more attention. Let me see"
"Now I'll die" Ron whispered to Harry.
"Dear, are you in love with someone?" Sybilla asked.
Ron's ears went red. "No!"
Professor Trelawney gave him a deep look. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am. Why?"
"Those cards here" She pointed to the cards arranged as a cross. "Enamorados and heart ace placed like this"
"What?"
"Enamorados means you're in love with someone"
Ron mumbled something.
"This is really normal at your age. But the heart ace here. that person will break your heart, and it will happen really soon"
"Ok, but there's a problem, Professor, I'm not in love with anyone"
Professor Trelawney frowned. Before finishing the class she gave Ron and Harry extra work to do: fill a parchment with the possible meanings of all combinations with the enamorados card.
"Thanks, Ron"
They met Hermione at the table. "What's wrong, Ron?"
Ron sat in front of her seeming to be angry.
"He gave us extra work" Harry answered.
"Why?"
"He faced Professor Trelawney"
"What did she say this time? Predicted your death again, Harry?"
"No. She saw in the cards that Ron will have a broken heart soon"
"What do you mean?"
"She said that I'm in love with someone and that she would break my heart soon. So I told her that I'm not in love with anyone"
Hermione stopped smiling. "You're not"
"Of course no!"
"So she told us to fill a parchment with the combinations of enados card and its meanings"
"Enados card? You mean e-na-mo-ra-dos card".
"Yeah, that"
"How do you know that?" Ron asked.
"Muggles also use that kind of thing. I know the cards"
"So you could do our homework"
"No, Ron, I couldn't"
He mumbled.
"But I'm proud of you cause you faced that old fraud"
"Thanks, Hermione. You really helped"
Hermione laughed.
