"I can't tell you everything- at least not yet-, it's complicated. All I'm aloud to tell you is that the ministry wouldn't allow you to live with me. That was part of the reason why Dumbledore hired me, so I could 'prove myself' to the Ministry and try to get back my Godfather rights." He explained as we reached the classroom. I nodded.

"Ok." I said, before heading off to sit next to Hermione.

Ok, I'M BAAAACK! I'm super sorry! my computer crashed so I had no way to update any of my stories so here I am and on a new computer(YAY!) so hopefully I can update more now. I have also started school again-FRESHMAN!- so yeah. Sorry.

I laughed with Hermione as we walked-ran- towards the Divination class. I was quite surprised that she was going to be so late for a class, but she didn't seem too excited about this class anyways.

"McGonagall said that Divination is the most unreliable and ridiculous branch of magic there is." She said, her nose lifted in the air in her usual air of smartness. I had merely smirked to myself and kept running. We looked around for a moment for how to get into Trelawney's class room before I noticed the hatch like door above our heads. I pulled on her sleeve and pointed up. We hurried in and grabbed a table, unfortunately right behind Weasley and Potter. The red-head turned around to say something to Mione but saw me and crinkled his nose in distaste.

"Oh. It's you," He sneered, "I was hoping you wouldn't be in this class with us." Mione gasped quietly and whacked him on the shoulder, but I felt it was a half-hearted attempt on her part.

"So did I, Orange One, so did I..." I said in a deep voice- only partly trying to imitate Snape. Potter snorted, and tried to hide his face in his book and cover it with a cough, but it didn't work. I smirked at Ronald.

"I can see some people aren't as rude as you are, Orangie." I said. He glared at me and slowly turned back towards the professor. I tuned out as she did her odd little speech thing and looked out the window. This room got a great view of the sky, making it hard for me to pay attention. I would much rather be out there with my broom- but not everyone gets what they want, right? Trelawney came around and paired people up, and I didn't think much about it till I heard my name being called.

"Potter and B- EEP!" She said, ushering a small scream when she went to read my name from the list. I looked down at my hands on the table, trying to hide the way my face heated up from everyone staring at me.

She looked at me with wide eyes and pointed to me and Harry. "Y-You two..." And then she walked off. I groaned.

"What? You've got a problem, Black?" Weasley sneered at me.

"You know Orange One, you're quite the hypocrite. Always mad at Malfoy for sneering, yet that's all you do when I'm around. At least I try to be nice to blokes I don't like." He merely scowled and walked away. I grabbed a white tea cup with purple flowers all over it.

"P-Please do be careful... after you've broken the first five, please go for one of the other cups... Preferably one of the blue ones..." She said quietly, scared to come near me. I furrowed my eyebrows, thoroughly confused.

"She'll probably get mad or something." Someone whispered. I pretended to not hear them.

"Maybe she'll use the same spell her father used on poor Pettigrew." I heard off to my left. I gritted my teeth.

"No, I bet she'll throw it at Potter's head, I have no idea why the professor made those two partners. I squeezed my hands into fists, accidentally breaking the tea cup in my hand.

"Bloody hell..." I muttered, looking at the blood trickling from my palm. I sighed and reached for another cup. One down, four to go... I thought sarcastically. I stepped forward and reached up, but I tripped over my own dammed foot, and came crashing down, bringing a few cups with me. I groaned and stood back up. I sighed and reached for another one, trying to be more careful this time, and grabbed one. I was walking back towards the table where Potter was sitting, when someone bumped into me, making me drop my cup.

"Are you kidding me?!" I said in exasperation.

"That was five, dear..." She said quietly from one of the far of desks. I sighed.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Take a blue one... Sorry Professor..." I said, grabbing a light blue teacup and walking carefully back to the table. Harry had already finished his tea by the time I got there, so I just drank it all down at once, before coughing for a few minutes. We traded cups and I looked in at the black dregs coating the bottom. I swirled the cup around a few times, before looking at it again. I flipped through some of the pages as Trelawney did rounds around the tables.

"I don't think you have what it takes dear... Is your Grandmother well?... I wouldn't be so sure... On the sixteenth something that you have been dreading for a while will happen... Around April one of you will be leaving us forever..." She listed off to people, starting with Hermione and ending with talking to the whole class. Then she came over to our table. I tried to act like she wasn't there, and her likewise. I flipped a page in the book, looked at the tea dregs, and looked at the picture in the book. I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to figure out if this looked like the drawing in the book. It did look very similar. And it looked very familiar... And then it hit me. I gasped and pushed the cup away from me.

"What is it, dear?" Trelawney asked, coming over to look in the cup, before dropping it to the floor. We sat in stunned silence as it shattered on the stone floor.

"What? WHAT?" Harry asked, looking between the two of us.

"Y-You have the... Grimm!" She announced loudly, and many of us-myself included- winced.

"What's that?" He asked. I looked at him, eyes wide.

"It's an omen... The worst one in fact..." I told him quietly.

"An omen of death, Harry." Weasley said.

"Wow, real smooth, Weasley. Way to tell the poor kid he's gunna die." I said.

We all sat in silence as McGonagall turned back into a cat.

"What has happened to all of you? Never have I not gotten applause at a transformation." She said, hands on her hips.

"Please, Professor... We just came from Divination." I said quietly. Her facial expression softened.

"Oh, I see. Well, which one of you is going to die this year?" She asked raised his hand.

"Me, Professor." He said.

"Oh, nonsense, Potter. She does that every year to start the term. Not once has a student died." She said.

"But Professor McGonagall, she said Neville and B-Black would break their tea cups, and they did!" Lavender said. Parvati nodded her head.

"Yeah, just like she said they would!" The teacher shook her head, and went on to explain why Divination was not to be taken seriously. I raised my hand slowly into the air.

"Yes miss Black?" She asked.

"I-I saw it too,Professor... The... Grimm... I mean." I said, trailing off at the end. She merely raised her eyebrows.

"Unlikely. You probably just got confused." She said. I scowled slightly at my desk and ignored the rest of the lesson for the most part.

"I'm telling you, Hermione, I know what I saw!" I said exasperatedly. Hermione shook her head.

"I just don't know, Rita! It doesn't seem possible!" She said.

"Why not? Why can't you believe me when I say I saw the Grimm?" I asked, looking at her as we pushed open the double doors leading to the great Hall. It was lunch time, right after Transfiguration, so the hall was packed. people turned towards us to see what was going on.

"Well, I mean... What could kill Harry anyways? Who would even want to?" She asked, putting her hands up slightly.

"Oh, I don't know... First year it was a Hogwarts teacher, Mione. A teacher. Our second year it was a freaking book, who knows what or who will try this time. Oh, and of course, did I forget to mention? There is all those rumors about Sirius Black escaping to come after him!" I said, getting angry that my friend didn't believe me.

"Yes, but Rita. How do you know he didn't escape because he hated it there? Or to even come after you? Why go after Harry when you're his daughter?" She asked.

"Oh, so this is just going to all come back on me again? Why is it every time somethings goes down with that horrid man, it's always my fault?! It's not like I asked to be his daughter, or like I asked him to betray the Potter's, in fact- I think Harry's pretty cool! And I definitely didn't ask him to break out of Azkaban!" I was yelling by the end. We had stopped walking somewhere in my rant, and now we stood in the middle of the completely silent hall, everyone's eyes glued to us.

"Rita, that's not what I meant! I know you didn't ask for any of this, but just think about it. Why would he want to kill Harry?" She asked, throwing her hands up.

"Because Harry brought down Voldemort, you know that!" I said, and I could see the wave that was made from everyone in the room cringing "And besides! They said he was saying 'He's at Hogwarts. He's at Hogwarts.' Not, 'She's at Hogwarts.'!"

"They could have misheard him." Hermione said quietly.

"You know what? Never mind! I give up! You're my friend, Hermione! Why can't you just believe me when I say I know what I saw, and I saw the bloody Grimm?!" I yelled.

"Rita- Just, I don't see how you could have seen that! I think Trelawney was just tricking you into believing that!"

"I saw it before her."

"I still don't think that's what you saw."

"Yup. I give up: I lied! I didn't see the Grimm! I did help my father escape from Azkaban! And I am only here at Hogwarts to help him kill the famous Harry Potter!" I yelled, and turned around before running from the hall. I wasn't about to let them all see me cry. I ran through the halls, my cloak falling off my left shoulder, and trying to wipe the tears streaming down my face with my right sleeve. I know that I shouldn't have exploded like that-especially in front of the whole school-and I shouldn't have been so mean and harsh to Hermione. But still, she could have at least said something like, 'okay, well if that's what you think you saw. Personally I don't think the Grimm is going to go after Harry, but alright.', you know?

Somehow I had ended up on the opposite side of Hogwarts from the Gryffindor Tower, so instead I decided to spend the rest of the day in the Astronomy Tower.

And that's where I stayed, all night.
