Rose had woken up late the next morning after sleeping in. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast so she just threw on her uniform and Hufflepuff robes and ran into Professor Trelawney's classroom. Rose was pleasantly surprised to find that the Professor had brewed up some English Breakfast Tea for them.
"I heard this was a popular Muggle brand," Professor Trelawney explained, "And I want us to be able to sit and talk with each other, Rose, like friends." Rose cringed at the friend part, but joined Professor Trelawney who motioned for her to come and take a seat.
"Yeah…" Rose's voice trailed off.
"So let's discuss your exam first," Professor Trelawney pulled out a small sheet of paper, "Good news is you passed First Year Charms, Herbology and Muggle Studies with high marks," (Rose could've guessed as much) "You need to repeat Potions and Dark Arts with Professor Snape. You will meet with him for an hour every week."
Rose objected, "Can't you teach me those classes instead?"
The only thing Rose hated more than Trelawney was definitely Snape. She watched as if Trelawney seemed to be thinking deeply and was surprised when she simply shrugged in agreement. "Yeah, I know First Year Potions and Dark Arts so why not, under one condition," She said while lifting her finger. Rose raised her eyebrow "Yeah?"
"You have to take Divination as your elective, I have a sense about you Rose, that you could be a great Seer!" Professor Trelawney's finger trembled as she finished her sentence. 'Drat' Rose thought 'Divination or Snape- pick your poison.' It wasn't really that hard of an agreement for her after all.
"Alright," Rose said I agree. Professor Trelawney clapped in delight. "Ok, now let's go over the Time Turner and your schedule. This year you have to finish your Third Year Studies and your Second Year studies with these two courses which we will use the weekend time for." She put the Time Turner on the table in front of Rose, "In order to go backwards in time turn three times as so," Professor Trelawney demonstrated with motion. "Since your second year Charms class and third year Potions class are at the same time Monday morning that will be your first attempt at using the Time Turner. After you go to your first class- doesn't matter which one really, turn the device back three times to make your other class. Since other students don't know how you are making your classes there's simply no need to tell them you're using the Time Turner, just participate in the classes as normal. Your professors expect your arrival. Also, Rose, you may not use the Time Turner for more than 5 hours a day."
Rose had tried to scribble down all the notes as Professor Trelawney was talking. "Also," the Professor said, "After a week of using the Time Turner I would like a written report on your experience with time travel and your observations of it which will count for credit towards Divination."
"So, wait Professor," Rose paused, "I'm going to be taking 10 hours of class a day?" Professor Trelawney nodded.
"With two hours on the weekends." Professor Trelawney added.
"When will I have the time to do homework?" Rose exclaimed.
"If you budget your time wisely," Trelawney advised, "You can go back with your extra hours for more study time."
Rose realized she was going to have to take a long look at her new timetable that Trelawney had handed to her. She sighed.
"Don't get ahead of yourself," Trelawney said and poured her a cup of tea, "Have a cup of tea, dear."
Rose stared at her in disbelief.
Rose felt a little spaced out as she headed back to the Common Room and walked over to Bridget, Bellamy and Cedric. She placed her timetable in the back of a book and glanced at it to check her classes for tomorrow (she was disappointed to note it was in fact only Thursday):
7:00- Divination Third Year
8:00- Second Year Charms
9:00- Third Year Potions *
10:00- Third Year Dark Arts *
11:00- Second Year Muggle Studies
Break Time
1:00- Second Year Herbology
2:00- Third Year Herbology
3:00- Second Year Transfiguration
4:00- Third Year Charms *
5:00- Second Year Dark Arts *
Rose bit her lip at her timetable. Where the asterisk were marked meant she had to use her Time-Turner. The good news about tomorrow was that she had two classes with Harry and a one hour lunch break. She was envious of Bridget and Bellamy and Cedric who all finished their classes at 2 in the afternoon although Cedric did have Quidditch practice.
At that moment Hannah Baker rushed into the room and shouted:
"Rose, come quickly- it's Harry!"
Rose sprang out of her seat and rushed with Hannah to the first floor of Hogwarts where she found Harry looking at something on the wall. Rose gasped- there was something written in blood on the wall.
