Chapter twelve: Divination
Barry dragged his to Divination, when he heard a yell from behind him,
"Barry!" Barry spun around and saw Andy coming towards him. He noticed the group they hung out in had begun to split, Mione would go to the library, Emo would be with Joel from the Hufflepuff third quidditch team (He think they may have been together before but he couldn't remember), Don and Jub walked off together, Nick often went to the library with Mione, (Andy swears he had a crush on Mione), Banana and Cheesy tended to disappear for great amounts of time then reappear an hour or so later, so Andrew, Andy, Lemo and him were left alone. Barry wasn't complaining it meant when they were hanging out it was so chaotic but he did kind of miss the bustle.
"Andy? What are you doing here?"
Andy took a deep breath,
"Well I thought divination was in another tower, I climbed to the top and then relised it was the friggen owlery thing!"
Barry resisted the urge to laugh, Andy was smart, but alot of the time he really had to wonder...
"Well you're here now...But why?"
It was Andy turn to look at him as though he was stupid,
"I'm taking Divination too!"
"What? Why? Did a class run out for you too?"
Andy shook her head,
"I was curious about the subject!"
Barry looked at her.
"Okay, okay, Care of Magical Creatures class was too full. But apparently Malfoy's pissed, he got told the class was full. So he got his dad to write a letter, so I got taken out and then," Andy's face broke into an evil grin, "Malfoy found out who the new teacher is and now wants out!"
"Who's the new teacher?"
"Hagrid."
"Hagrid?"
Andy nodded,
"We better get a move on or we'll be late..."
"Be ready to see things you've never seen before! I'm going to start with showing off a bit..." Professor Tregrassy chuckled, "Using only my inner eye, I shall tell you what the day and month you were born!"
Two other Gryffindor girls squealed and clung to their seat in anticipation. Barry eyed them warily,
"Who are those two?" he whispered to Andy.
"Uhh...Ones called Lavender or Dandylion or something...No idea who the-"
"You, first!" Tregrassy pointed at a nearby boy who Barry had suspicion to believe was called Bob, "You boy were born on-" she looked at her hand, that look like it had the roll written on it, "March the twenty third!"
Lavender-Dandylion-whatever-her-name-was and her friend gasped,
"How did you know!"
Tregrassy did what she though was a modest gesture,
"I have the inner eye, darling. Now, what's your name?" She asked pointing at Andy.
"Shouldn't your inner eye tell you?"
Tregrassy tapped her foot impatiently,
"I like to pretend I see as much as other people!"
"Okay...My names Andy."
Tregrassy looked at her hand,
"Are you supposed to be in my class?"
"I'm probably down as Amber..."
Tregrassy referred back to her hand and gasped,
"My child! You are doomed forever! Destined to be a failure! Ruined for life! Ruined I tell you!"
"Huh?"
"You my child, were born on," she bented down till her nose was almost touching Andy's, "...Black Friday!"
"Uh...So?"
"So? So!" Tregrassy spluttered, "Amber! You life is already planned to be horrible and you are an omen, an omen of bad luck! Out! Out of my classroom! Please before I am breathed upon and lose my inner eye!"
Andy rolled her eyes muttering something that sound like "What a load bullshit." and walked out of the room as Tregrassy collasped dramatically into an armchair,
"Now on with the lesson!"
Lavender-Dandylion-whatever-her-name-was and her friend broke into applause, as someone burst through the door,
"Sorry! I got the wrong tower!"
"Cheesy?" Barry said as she sat down, "You got the wrong tower too? You should tell Andy it'd probably make her feel better."
Cheesy began pulling her books out of her bag,
"Feel better? Why what's wrong with her?"
"Well, she didn't even want to be in this class, she got the wrong tower too and Tregrassy sent her out just because she was born on 'Black Friday'"
Cheesy rolled her eyes,
"Poor Andy, she must have had to put up with superstitious crap most of her life. I mean I just broke a mirror at school once and all the superstitious freaks came after me. That was like two years-"
"OUT OF MY CLASSROOM YOU BAD LUCK INFESTED CHILD! And sorry what was the name I have to mark you as attended..."
Barry watched yet another one of his friends forced to leave the classroom.
Tregrassy surveyed the room and paled once more, when she locked eyes with him,
"My boy, you are in grave danger!"
Barry rolled his eyes,
"What...?" he muttered, he really didn't like Divination...
