Chapter 3
The Walk to Remember

When it was lunchtime, Jamie sat away from the other students at the Gryffindor table.

She sat there, getting a head stat on her homework with a book in front of her. She did

not notice Harry, Ron and Hermione walking past her. When Harry was about to eat, he

saw Jamie sitting by herself.

"Why do you think she's all by herself?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione.

"I don't know. I bet she's another Hermione." Ron said and Hermione glared. "Well

look, she already is starting her work and classes aren't even finished yet."

Harry began eating; noticing that nobody seemed to want to talk to Jamie or even asked

why she was at the far side of the table. It was only until a boy Harry thought he saw

before went up to Jamie and started talking to her.

"Isn't that Michael Corner, the Ravenclaw?" Harry asked nudging Ron.

"Yeah, there's the bloody git," Ron remarked. Ron and Hermione continued talking

about Divination as Harry watched Jamie and Michael talk. Jamie looked a little angry,

and turned around to continue reading and then Michael grabbed her shoulder to get her

attention.

"Let me go! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Everyone around her heard her voice

this time.

"Look, just let me explain," Michael began.

"Hey!" Harry said walking over to them. "Is everything all right?" he said looking at Jamie.

"It's fine," Michael replied and Jamie nodded. "I'll see you later," Michael said to Jamie and walked off.

"Thanks," Jamie said to Harry without looking at him.

"What were you guys talking about?" Harry asked.

"It was nothing, just a silly argument." She said and dismissed the subject. Harry just

nodded, unsure of what to say.

"So, what class do you have next?" he asked.

"Divination, you?"

"Same. What to walk up with me and Ron?" Harry asked nodding towards Ron.

"Um, sure. Okay. Thank you." Harry just nodded and walked over to get Ron. When

Harry left, Jamie thought to herself. 'What am I doing?' she thought. 'He's just a friend.'

Just then, Harry and Ron walked by and interrupted her thoughts.

"Ready?" he asked. Ron seemed annoyed.

"Sure," she replied and they became walking towards the North Tower.

"So, you're new around here right?" Harry asked trying to start a conversation.

"Actually, I've been here for the past six years." Jamie said smiling.

"Really? How come we've never seen you before?" Harry asked and Jamie shrugged.

"I guess this is the first time you've seen me then."

"I saw you on the train." Harry replied.

"No," she said turning around looking at him. "This is the first time you've really seen

me," she smiled a little and walked on. Harry looked at Ron who gave him a confused

look and shrugged.

"I don't trust her," he said.

"You don't even know her," Harry said.

"Well neither do you. You're only on a first name bases." Ron left Harry quiet and they

finally reached the North Tower. There were many tables, and three chairs around each

tables.

"Want to sit with us?" Harry asked Jamie. Ron gave an annoying look.

"Sure, thanks." Divination began as it always did, with Professor Trelawney talking

about how to find the future in the crystal balls. Ron was starting to nod off as he was

sitting in the middle. Harry gave Jamie an exasperated look, and she smiled. Professor

Trelawney moved from table to table as she told each student to once at a time place their

hand on the ball and close their eyes. When she came closer to Harry's table, Harry

nudged Ron awake.

"Alright dear boy," Professor Trelawney said to Harry. "Place your palm on the ball and

close your eyes."

Harry looked at Jamie and Ron before he did as he was told.

"Alright, open them, and tell us what you see." Professor Trelawney said eagerly.

"I see, me, crying, I look sad. I think there's something next to me, but I can't really see." Harry said frowning.

"Just as I predicted," Professor Trelawney said, "Ahead of you lies sad times. Your turn,"

she said looking at Ron. Ron did just what Harry did, and when he opened his eyes, he was smiling.

"I see me holding something in the air; I think it's a trophy! I also see someone next to me; I think the person is hugging me. Huh, I wonder who it is. I bet that's the Quidditch trophy, huh Harry?" Harry was just nodding along, smiling. When it was Jamie's turn,

she looked unsure.

"Um, Professor, I don't think I should do this activity," Jamie said in a low voice. Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then back at Jamie.

"Nonsense, dear, just do what the others did," Professor Trelawney said.

"But-,"Jamie began, but Professor Trelawney grabbed her hand and put it over the crystal

ball. Jamie's eyes were still open. She gave Harry and Ron a last glance and closed her

eyes. When she opened her eyes, Jamie saw everyone looking at the crystal ball, and then

looked for herself. She did not need to explain hers aloud since everyone saw what was within it.

"Why is hers all black and dark?" Lavender Brown asked. Jamie looked at the ground,

trying to block out everyone's faces.

"Why, my dear child, it's the sign of death!" Professor Trelawney exclaimed. No one

looked surprised, some continued looking at their own crystal balls and continued talking.

"Huh, well would you look at that Harry. You're no longer dying anymore. Funny huh?"

Ron said patting Harry on the back. Harry glanced at Jamie who looked back at him

.
"Yeah," Harry replied, "funny." Jamie quickly packed her things, and then walked out of

the classroom, leaving Harry confused.
