Ch. 5-- The Prediction

It said...
Seeker: Harry Potter

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and began to make his way down to the Great Hall for breakfast. He was so delighted that he was on the team again, that he barely noticed where he was going. He turned, and ran smack into someone.

"Oh, sorry," said Harry. He looked to see whom it was that he had run into, and to his slight horror, it was Cho Chang. " It's all right," she said. This made Harry blush.

"How are you doing Harry?" she asked.

"F-Fine."

"
That's good. Well, see you around!" she said, then rushed off. Harry thought to himself, Why am I still so shy around her? I thought I got over it. He got down to the Great Hall and was not surprised to see that it was not very crowded. He did see that there were three Gryffindor first years sitting at the end of the table, giggling and looking his way. Harry caught part of their conversation.

"Yeah, do you guys know who that is?" asked one of them.

"Well, duh Kelly, he is the Boy Who Lived, and everyone knows who he is," said another.

"Well, I didn't until you pointed him out to me. Amanda, you know I'm a muggle-born," snapped one of them.

"Sorry, Keri, but I'm just not used to being around people that are muggle-borns. I have nothing against you, it's just that I grew up around all wizards. Amanda declared.

"It's OK. I'm just still getting used to this magic stuff. Even though I've been here for a week, everything is still so strange." stated Keri.

"It's cool. Did you guys finish the Transfiguration homework because I-" Kelly was saying, but just then Ron came down and said, "Congrats Harry! We'll be on the same team again! Oh, and Katie said that practice starts on Friday."

"Thanks Ron, but I would really like to get some breakfast. Can we please eat now?" Harry asked.

"Sure!" Ron exclaimed. Ron's mind was always on food, so getting breakfast was more important than Quidditch was at the moment. Hermione came down soon after and joined them. Harry wasn't talking much and look kind of dazed so she asked, "Harry, you OK? You seem awfully quiet. Is anything wrong?"

"No, I'm just a little tired. Don't worry about it. I'm fine." But something was really troubling him. He was thinking about what Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were talking about that day at the Burrow. He can remember what Mr. Weasley had said a few weeks ago: "Molly, it's a vital point in his plan. I don't like it either, but if Dumbledore needs Harry, we can't interfere with that. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." For some reason, Harry had thought that he would know what Mr. Weasley was talking about by now. He had wondered about it before, and now that Quidditch tryouts were over, it was starting to bother him. 'What was he talking about anyway... 'Ron woke Harry out of his trance. "C'mon mate, we've got Divination next, and you know it'll take forever to get up to the North Tower, so we'd better get going."

They got up to leave and Harry was sure he could hear Hermione mutter something that sounded a lot like "Old fraud."

The boys walked up to the North Tower just in time. Professor Trelawney greeted them with her usual bug eyes and her misty voice. Right now they were studying advanced crystal gazing. "Will all of you please open your books to page 203, about reading someone else's mind through the crystal ball. This is an extremely advanced art, so you must put all your efforts toward this. One of you will be the crystal-gazer, and the other will be concentrating very hard on one certain sentence, and the partner will try to figure out what the other is saying. You may look in the book to help you with your mind-reading. Please begin."

"OK," said Ron, "I'll be the gazer first. Better to get it over with."

"Sure," said Harry, but he wasn't really paying attention. He was still thinking about what Mr. Weasley had said.

"OK, so you're thinking about someone else. Is that right?" Ron asked, getting Harry out of his daze for the second time that morning.

"Yeah, that's right. Let me think of something else." Harry said. 'If Ron figures out what I was thinking about, Trelawney will definitely have a huge fit. She'll want to analyze me or something. I've got to calm down. It was probably nothing important.' Harry tried to convince himself this, but in the back of his mind he knew it was no use. It was still troubling him. "You know what Ron, let me have a try with that crystal ball." Harry said, and then he pushed his other thoughts to the back of his head.
