No one got a bell. Almost everyone of the wizarding students fell into a trap or got tied up by one of the exchange students. Minato called the class back together to give his opinion after talking with his exchange students.
"All right. I see we need to work on observation skills, speed, stamina, and stealth. Not to mention offensive skills like hand to hand and trap making and teamwork. Next class you will be in teams of three facing the same person you did today. Don't forget your papers due next time. Class dismissed," said the cheerful blonde, disappearing. The Hogwarts students were all dirty while the exchange students were still clean. They were relatively happy as they walked back to the castle for lunch, the wizarding students trudging behind them.
It was after the students had been seated and lunch appeared that Kakashi realized several people were missing. Kushina, Genma, Guy, Luna and Ginny were all absent. He looked up at the staff table where Minato was talking to Professor Snape. Minato noticed Kakashi looking at him and flashed through several hand signs that were undetected by the wizards. Kakashi frowned, but Minato said there was a minor incident and not to worry. He concentrated once again on his surroundings at the Gryffindor just in time to see and hear Fred and George Weasley sit by Obito.
"So can you bunch make copies of yourself like Professor Namikaze?" blurted out Fred.
"Maybe," answered a smug Obito. Rin rolled her eyes and dug her elbow into the Uchiha's side. Obito groaned. Ebisu looked exasperated while Tenzo looked like he wanted to disappear.
"How did you lot make almost perfect potions on your first try? Do you learn potions at your school?" inquired Hermione.
"We read the recipe and did what it said to do," deadpanned Kakashi. This earned him a glare from his female teammate and he flinched. Though she was not a powerhouse like Kakashi and Obito, both boys had learned the hard way not to piss off the team medic, especially when she decided to start training with Genma in weapon throwing and poisons. She had gotten scarily accurate with senbon and Genma had picked up some medical jutsu.
"We must have gotten lucky. No our academy does not teach potions unfortunately. At least not like your school. But we are all open to learning new things," answered Rin as she smiled at Hermione. Rin did not mention being taught in poisons and antidotes. She also did not mention Kakashi had used his Sharingan when he read the recipe and Obito had used his Sharingan to copy his teammate.
"Why did Professor Snape glare at Kakashi?" asked a shy Tenzo from beside Neville. The wizards frowned. Harry figured it was because Kakashi was Sirus's nephew, but Harry was not sure so he didn't say anything.
"Snapes hates all Gryffindors," stated Ron, shrugging. The boy then groaned, realization hitting him that Divination was the next class of the day.
"I wondering who is going to die young today," mumbled the young Weasley.
"I beg your pardon?" inquired Rin, ignoring Obito and Ebisu's joint "Huh?". Even. Tenzo and Kakashi looked intrigued by Ron's statement. Harry groaned when he also remembered Divination was next.
"He's talking about Divination. Professor Trelawney is always predicting Harry's gruesome early death. I think she's a cracked pot," answered Hermione. The shinobi teens exchanged glances. Prophets and prophecies were rare in the shinobi world, but almost always taken seriously. Obito shrugged.
"It can't be that bad. Can it?" asked Obito, as they stood to leave the Great Hall and make the trek to Divination. On the way out they met Ginny, Luna, Guy, and Genma.
"Eternal Rivial! We are late to lunch for we had to defend our ladies' honor from some very unyouthful students!" exclaimed Guy. Genma sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets. Kakashi noted the absence of Genma's usual senbon.
"What happened?" asked Ron.
"Some Slytherins were making fun of Luna. Guy here tried to defend her with me but one of the Slytherins pulled out their wand and Genma...well..." said the girl, blushing as she looked at the older boy who sighed again.
"I hit his wand with the senbon hard enough it snapped in two. Unfortunately I did it in front of Professor Sprout and now I have detention for a few weeks," grumbled Genma.
"I told Professor Sprout it was my fault so she gave me detention as well," stated Ginny.
"Mum is going to have a stroke when she finds out," warned Ron.
"Then she best not find out about it, huh?" growled Ginny, a unspoken warning issued to her brother.
"She won't hear it from me," stated Ron, his hands up in a surrendering gesture.
"Nice to know we understand each other," said the smirking Ginny, leading her group into the Great Hall.
"Kushina and Minato already know. Kushina laughed all the way to the castle. But I think Minato is mad at me," confessed Genma softly to Kakashi so the others could not hear him.
"Only one way to find out," stated Kakashi. He gripped the other teen's shoulder for a second, squeezed, then followed his own group to Divination. He was lost in thought in though. Apparently people here knew his mother and on top of that one of the few people who Kakashi considered family was not acting himself. He was so wrapped up in thoughts of his mom and Genma that he almost walked into Professor Trelawney.
His first thoughts of the woman was that she smelled off and she was dressed weirder than even the other wizards. He did not expect her to grab both his wrists and her eyes to roll up in the back of her head.
"With the silver wolf's arrival one house will rise while two others fall. Will-o-wisps and the sabling will support the wolves and dog. The field remains strong, while lightning and fire combine. Strength and smarts shall prevail. Though the children of prophecy may survive, the fox will still cry. Though teams are now whole, they will not remain so. As those presumed dead appear that is not so. A chain has now been set in motion. So mote it be so." said the Professor in the silent classroom. Then like she was in a trance and did not know it, the woman motioned everyone to the tables for tea leaf reading.
Kakashi sat with Harry, Ron, Obito and Tenzo while Hermione, Rin, Ebisu, and Neville sat in the table beside them. All the students in the room were muttering to themselves about what they had just witnessed. Hermione and Rin were both writing in their notebooks quickly. Kakashi guessed that they were writing what the professor had just said in her weird like state. Meanwhile Obito was asking Ron about the tea leaves.
"How do you predict the future from leftover tea?" asked the Uchiha.
"You don't mate. When Professor Trelawney asks what you see, look in your cup, concentrate for a minute or so, say the Grim and you pass. Trust me," said Ron.
"That's it? But what if it's true?" asked the superstitious Uchiha. The Weasley shrugged. The divination professor walked around the room, checking on the students and their tea leaves. When she got to their table she confirmed that all five boys had grims in their tea leaves. Harry groaned and banged his head on the table. Obito meanwhile had borrowed Ron's book to look up the meaning of the grim.
"The worst omen for death..." read Obito aloud. Then he panicked, saying, "I'm too young to die! Kakashi you're a genius! Tell me it's wrong! Please?! I don't wanna die so young! I have plans! Lots and lots of plans!"
Soon Harry was not the only one whose head was on the table as he groaned.
