Hello! Sorry the last chapter was so short…. It just seemed like a good place to end. Imma post 2 chapters today to make up for last week...
Percy's POV
I really should have thought through going to classes today. I mean I didn't do any of the homework, and the divination room was creepy. The dream journal was going to be a little tricky. Uh… I watched myself kill… misery? And then my girlfriend spoke a prophecy? Nope.
"Uh Harry, what do we have to put in this?"
"Oh, just make up a dream with some symbols that will be easy to recognize."
"What about words that sound like a prophecy, would she like that?"
"Percy, you're brilliant! She'll love that!"
I have enough evidence to know that this woman is a prophet. Possibly she'll know the end to the weird prophecy, then I can figure it out and… well, I don't know. all know is that Rachel would sometimes end prophecies for you if you started one.
I scribble down the beginning of the prophecy.
Wisdom's daughter, son of water, separate, divide, and fall through time. A quest to protect one will sacrifice another. Unable to...
Harry in tow, we set up the stairs, and push through the trapdoor into the heavily perfumed room. Harry drags me over to sit with Ron and Hermione. A lone hufflepuff is wandering the room looking for a seat. I have her over.
"You can sit with us, if you want." She thanks me and drags over a chair to our crowded table.
"Okay everyone, take your dream journals out." The professor tells us. I continue scribbling into mine, filling out the rest of the journal with slivers from dreams that I remember. I mean the slivers that make me sound sane.
Hermione watches in shock as I finish my homework just before the professor arrives. She turns to the right page in Harry's journal. Happily she notes that my journal is already open. Hmm. She ponders Harry's journal. Excitedly she proposes that he look into several symbols, that she circles in green ink. She then turns to me. She looks over it, stopping at the part that has the prophecy.
I know that it's the prophecy because her eyes go green and smoke starts coming out of her mouth.
"Wisdom's daughter,
Son of water,
Separate, divide, and fall through time.
A quest to save one will sacrifice another,
Unable to give more than you have,
One will be lost."
Messily I scribble the remainder of the prophecy onto my hand. She turns to me once again, and I note that this time, she was the conduit of the Oracle of Delphi. She acts confused. "My, what happened… oh yes, this bit, Percy, it seems like a prophecy." She grabs my hand and starts talking gibberish about a gift and whatnot.
I make a mental to leave as soon as class is over.
We read tea leaves and study what shapes we see. I get the Omega and alpha symbols.
Harry on the other hand, gets a dog. I at first, thinking that he's going to get a dog, state that he's gonna get one, but the hufflepuff girl states that it probably means that he's either receiving a new companion, or going to have one.
We all agree that that's what's going on, and we read all of the cups, mostly with the hufflepuff girl guessing what the symbols meant. The professor comes over once again. She takes one look into Harry's cup, and before we can tell her what we thought, she cries out…
"The grim! It's the grim!"
So… Imma post another one tomorrow to make up for this lateness…
Have a great day.
But wait…
Wand ceremony/drabbles
Percy held, possibly, the last wand in the store. No clue how, but ollivanders wand shop has been exhausted by my crazy brother.
Ollivanders walks into the back of the store and comes back with a dark blue box. The inside, when he opens it is black velvet. The wand is abnormally long, but has playful scribbles along the handle which seem to have been engraved in spirals. It is light in color and there are holes and dots all along it.
"Pumice stone, 15 inches, with a phoenix core. I'm hesitant to give you such a powerful wand, but I don't know what else.
He picks it up, and I can tell he's surprised by how light the rock is. Routinely he flicks it, and immediately water begins to fill the room. I start treading water and congratulate him on the lucky find. Ollivanders dissipates the water, and we fall to the floor, along with multiple fish.
Ollivander banishes the fish back to the ocean and Percy and I pay for the wand. We walk out of the store and go to get some good ice cream.
Now I'm done. Have a very good day!
