Chapter 20 - Divination
"Um, listen, I was thinking, you know. We are only married legally, and now that we're in our 20s, I think that it's not a bad idea to marry by church. So, um," Harry said nervously, as he got on his knees, "Will you marry me?"
And in his hand, was a small blue velvet box with a silver ring, which had three diamond jewels.
"Harry," Ginny started, "I ...Um... Accept!"
"You do?" Harry asked happily.
"Yeah!" Ginny said, as her eyes sparkled. "You're all I've ever dreamed of having. Do you think that I'd decline being united to you forever?"
Harry smiled, and stood up, as he grabbed Ginny's hands. She stood up too, and faced him, as he leaned closer, and sealed their lips for a passionate kiss.

Lily tossed, and turned in bed. She couldn't sleep, and so got out of her sheets, and sat on her bed. She grabbed her wrist watch, and read, 5:15.
She decided to go have a cool shower, and relax a bit. As she stood up, she looked around her dormitory, and smiled. 'It was too great to be back here,' she muttered under her breath.
45 minutes later, she got out of the bathroom, already in her school robes, and went down in the Common Room. She sat down on an armchair, and watched sunrise from the window.
"I can't understand how they manage to sleep on their first day here!" Lily told no one in particular. "It's too beautiful to watch the Sunrise, and –"
"Well, certain people like sleeping you know!" she heard a voice. She turned round, and saw Kevin walking down the stairs. "Good morning!"
"Morning Kev. You sure startled me!"
"Sorry Lil! Didn't mean to!" he answered, as he sat next to her. "So, how are you feeling?"
"Glad to be back here of course! Meeting you, David, Adriana and all the rest, is too good!" Lily exclaimed.
"Yeah! Holidays are nice, but school is nice too," Kevin admitted.
"So, when do you think that we'll have our first Divination Lesson?" Lily asked as she grinned wickedly.
"Hmmm, the stars tell me that today we'll have a lesson!" Kevin answered.
"Really! They'll soon have you instead of Trelawney!" Lily said mockingly.
"Yeah, sure!" Kev said sarcastically as he suddenly attacked her and started tickling.
"Stop, stop!" Lily giggled, as Kevin continued tickling her.
"No I won't!" Kevin laughed. "My inner eyes tell me to continue!" Harry had taught Lily and Daniel all about the Teachers they needed to know about before attending Hogwarts. So all stuff Trelawney said and did was known by all the Gryffindor Tower now, thanks to Lily and Daniel.

"So, we have Double Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, and..." Lily said as she started reading the 3rd Year timetable,
"Double Divination!" Daniel read the last 2 lessons. "Great! We'll have some fun with that bat!"
"Yeah, she sure is creepy," Adriana said. "I only saw her once, and that was last Christmas. She had these really huge glasses on, and this red big shawl! Man, I thought she was some Gypsy."
"Dad says, that ever since he can remember, she's always saying, 'Broaden your minds … You must look beyond!" Kevin said, as the others laughed. He could imitate Trelawney to the perfection. Even some 4th and 5th year students laughed at his performance.
"The only bad thing is that you'll have Potions today, alas, so do we!" Delicata said.
"Yeah, and we also have Transfiguration today!" David groaned.
"Well brother of mine, you can't have everything in life! At least you'll have Delicata with you!" Kevin teased.
Delicata and David turned red, and Frankie said loudly,
"I noticed you yesterday, how you look at Delicata! It's obvious that you like her, cuz!"
"Shut the fuck up," David muttered, as the others smirked.

Daniel, Lily and Kevin were seated round a small table in the North Tower, waiting for Professor Trelawney to begin.
"Sit my children, sit. Welcome to Divination, my name is Professor Trelawney, and many of you may have never seen me. Now, today we shall start the Study of Divination, which, most of you children do not possess. Many of you are yet unable to penetrate the veiled mysteries of the future."
Daniel and Kevin snorted. Most of the others in the room including Lily and all the boys did the same although most girls were taking all this rather seriously.
"I remember dad saying that Trelawney will say this. Now in a few minutes' time she'll say 'Broaden your mind!'!" Kevin whispered to the two as Trelawney grabbed a small delicate teapot in her hand and turned it round. She then gently put it on the table on which Lily, Kevin and Dan were seated.
"Brrrrrrrroaden your minds!" Trelawney started dramatically. Kevin laughed and Trelawney stopped her dramatic talk and looked at him. Kevin then stood up and using the same hand movement of Trelawney's continued,
"You must lookkkkkk beyond!"
Trelawney looked at Kevin, and thought, 'He must be some Seer sent to me from above!'
"What's your name boy?"
"Kevin Finnigan!" Kevin said casually.
"Are you Seamus Finnigan's son?" Trelawney, asked as her glasses fell on her nose.
"Yeah!" Kevin answered impatiently.
"I knew it! I always told your dear father, that he'll have a Son gifted with Divination. You're a marvel in this art! Tell me, how did you know what I was going to say?"
"Well, considering you use the same introduction to Divination each year, and so I already knew it all thanks to my Dad, I knew what you were going to say!"
But Trelawney ignored him, and started walking all round the room, muttering Thankful words to all the Stars in African.
"What's she sayin?" asked a boy.
"Who knows!" Lily said as she giggled. Soon all the class was laughing but Trelawney said,
"My dear boy, I must take you to my sister's! She's a Seer. She'll know what to do to you!"
"She won't do anything!" Kevin answered shortly.
"My dear boy, let's go!" Trelawney urged him.
Kev had a confused look on. 'No, he did not want to go to any Seer, no way! He had only been kidding! Dad was right, this woman is really a freak!' he thought, and so he grabbed his bag and in a rush left the Tower.
"Come back my child!" Trelawney called, but Kevin had already sprinted down the stairs.
"Why don't you go get him?" Lily asked, slyly, knowing what Trelawney was going to answer.
"I cannot! Descending in the school, clouds my Inner Eye!" she answered quietly.
"Then let me go get him for you!" Lily said, as her plan was to leave the classroom just like Kevin.
"Yes my girl, go fetch him!" Trelawney answered, as she went to look outside her window. Lily grinned, motioned Dan to follow her, and the two grabbed their bags and left.

"Kev?" Dan called, as he, followed by Lily entered the Common Room. There on a couch, they saw Kevin who was laughing his heart out.
"Dan, Lil! Oh my God! That was so funny!"
"Yeah!" Dan said, as he laughed.
"I was right this morning to call you the New Trelawney! You're a marvel in this art!" Lily then mimicked Trelawney, and the 3 friends started laughing again.
