CHAPTER SIXTEEN
PROFESSOR TRELAWNEY'S PREDICTION
"Chapter 16" Ginny read. "Professor Trelawney's Prediction"
Both Hermione and McGonagall rolled their eyes at this.
333
"WHAT?!" Bill and Charlie exclaimed causing everyone to laugh.
"It has been known to happen." Fred said.
"Once in a blue moon" George added teasingly.
"Should happen more often" Molly informed them giving them a look.
333
"How is that possible?" Bill asked.
"I'm intrigued myself" Arthur said.
333
"The poor hippogriff." Charlie sighed.
333
Everyone glared at the Potions Professor.
333
"No Fair!" Bill exclaimed. "I wish my defense exams were like that"
"Yeah" Charlie agreed. "Obstacle courses are the best."
"You were there if things got out of hand right?" Molly asked Remus worriedly.
"Of course Molly" Remus said assuringly.
333
Silence fell.
"THAT'S your greatest fear?" the twins chorused as they looked to Hermione who was blushing and making a point not to look at McGonagall.
"Everyone has their own fears boys" Arthur informed them sternly.
"And lucky for Hermione, her fear will only happen when I give Aragog a hug." Ron laughed.
"True. The day Hermione fails every one of her classes is the day Voldemort gives up his world domination scheme to go on mission trips to Africa and build clinics the muggle way" Harry said.
Hermione blushed.
333
"Not with how close Malfoy is to the Minister" Tonks muttered.
333
"Welcome to politics Lad." Moody said.
333
"Everyone knows Neville's the clumsiest kid in that year" Fred snorted.
"If not in Gryffindor."
"Or Hogwarts"
"Boys!" Arthur and Molly scolded.
333
Hermione rolled her eyes.
333
"Sounds good enough" Bill said.
333
"Stubborn Kid" Moody chuckled
333
Harry jerked in shock at the memory of this prediction and turned to his godfather confused remembering perfectly well what had happened later that same night.
333
Hermione looked ready to burst out laughing as did Ron.
333
"Sheesh Ginny!" the twins chorused as Ginny had shouted causing everyone to jump.
"It's in all caps, that means shouting" she said.
333
"Albus?" McGonagall asked.
"Yes Minerva. Sybil is indeed having a true prediction. And a fairly accurate one at that."
333
"She doesn't remember predicting that?" Flitwick asked.
"No. She had a similar reaction when I hired her." Dumbledore said.
Harry had a feeling there was more to that story, but Dumbledore had ended his story there.
333
"How much you want to bet they go down?" Fred asked George.
"That, my dear twin, is what is called a sucker bet" George answered.
333
"Did she just…did you just…" Tonks gasped at Hermione who blushed.
333
"Next time I see Lucius...or Macnair for that matter…" Charlie growled.
Arthur placed his hand on his son's shoulder and gave him a look saying 'not in front of your mother.'
333
"I don't care. My friends are more important." Harry said.
333
"What?" Bill and Charlie asked as did the twins. Even Molly and Arthur looked a bit confused.
333
"What's up with that rat?" Charlie asked confused.
333
"What? But how?" Charlie asked. "Isn't Buckbeak upstairs?"
"Yeah…I'm confused too" Sirius said turning to Remus who shrugged.
"You'll just have to read to find out." Dumbledore said with that twinkle in his eyes as he winked at Harry and Hermione who smirked knowingly.
"I'll read next." Sirius said.
