For the rest of the week Rose could feel herself spinning into an unwanted downwards spiral. She was turning bitter. It reminded her of when she went to Godric's Hollow last year and how she felt almost dissociative from everyone around her and didn't want to talk to anyone.
Rose just felt like things were going out of control again. Dumbledore hadn't seemed to listen to her warning and she had a gut feeling Harry was snooping around to solve the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets again.
Bridget and Bellamy were starting to get worried about Rose and was wondering if she was in fact falling back into the same habits as last year.
They were sitting in Divination Class and Rose was only half paying attention as she stared out the window.
Why should she pay attention in this class? A second year had took her down in a duel. She wasn't getting stronger with magic.
"Rose," Professor Trelawney called as Rose remained spaced out , "Rose!"
Rose snapped out of her day dream and back into the class. Bellamy shook her head in disappointment.
"Rose please read your crystal ball," Professor Trelawney gestured down to the table.
Rose sighed. Today they were in fact learning about fortune telling but Rose had been spaced out so she had forgotten the instructions. She peered into the ball and there was nothing- just white smokey whisps.
"Yes, Ms. Potter, please pay attention." Professor Trelawney said, "I'd also like to speak to you after class."
Suddenly, Rose could see a shape form in the crystal ball-
"Moaning Myrtle?" She questioned aloud. That ghost that lingered around the girls bathroom appeared in the crystal ball.
She gasped and dropped the ball on the floor. Professor Trelawney whipped around to watch Rose carefully. Rose couldn't explain what happened to her next but she could feel all eyes in the room on her-
"The student killed 50 years ago in the Chamber of Secrets," She said, "Moaning Myrtle."
Rose blinked and sat back in her chair. Professor Trelawney's eyes widened. Students in the room were whispering.
Professor Trelawney began to stutter. "Yes, yes, everyone out class is dismissed."
Before Bellamy and Bridget left the room Bridget said "That was downright creepy Rose."
Bellamy nodded, "But we're going to visit Hannah later, did you want to come?"
"Yeah, of course," Rose said.
"What was that prediction about?" Professor Trelawney asked Rose with concern.
"I think the student that was killed in the chamber 50 years ago," Rose said softly, "Is the ghost who haunts the girl's bathroom on the second floor."
"You have a gift Rose," Professor Trelawney said, "A Divination gift, Rose. "
Rose shook her head, "With all due respect Professor I don't want a Divination gift no one takes this class seriously, I'd rather be good at the Dark Arts."
"Divination is a sacred magic, Rose," Professor Trelawney said, "No student this semester has been able to make a single prediction expect for you. "
"I'm already a laughing stock, Professor, I don't want to be good at Divination," Rose insisted.
Professor Trelawney shook her head, "Sometimes life gives us things we don't want to deal with Rose, but we have to make do with it and our attitudes can make all the difference."
Professor Trelawney's words stung Rose. Maybe she did need to change her attitude about things. She thanked the Professor and left the class. Now, people would be going around whispering about how Rose had made a freaky prediction.
Rose decided that maybe it would be a good idea to go visit Hannah in the hospital ward and take her mind off class.
"Was that a real prediction?" Rose asked when she got to the hospital ward. Rose nodded.
"Huh," Bellamy said, "Maybe Divination is more real than we think."
Rose shrugged. "How's Hannah doing?"
"Alright," Bridget answered, "But we found this paper stuck in her hand."
Bridget handed Rose a crumpled up piece of paper. The paper had a monster drawn on it that looked like a big serpent snake.
Rose's stomach dropped.
"I have to find Harry." She said.
She thought she maybe put the pieces together about the Chamber of Secrets together in her head.
"What are you talking about?" Bridget asked in annoyance.
"Sorry," Rose said, "It's an emergency."
Rose stood up and rushed out of the hospital ward running with the piece of paper in her hand towards the Gryffindor Common Room. She bumped into Cedric on the way.
"You good?" He asked when he saw Rose's flushed face.
"Have you seen Harry?"
Cedric shook his head. "Quidditch practice is over in 30 minutes though so maybe hang in until then."
Rose nodded slowly and slowed down her pace towards the Common Room.
