Professor Trelawny… Thank-you to Meggiemoggiemoo for suggesting this- Enjoy!
Behind her thick spectacles professor Trelawny watched the third year Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs file into her class. It was their first divination lesson, and privately she hoped that once, just once, someone would see the subject for what it really was.
That was harder to come by these days. There was nobody truly open minded out there to see the endless possibilities of the universe…..right in front of their nose.
This years' class looked to be pretty standard. The girls had shiny swishing hair that Professor Trelawy's matted tangles had never had. They were flirting with the boys, blushing and laughing. Trewlawy had never been that kind of girl.
Someone caught her eye though. A girl with very long ratty Blonde hair. She was the smallest of the class but was gazing intently upwards at the ceiling. Professor Trelawy looked up, to see what the girl was staring out, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
When the class was seated the blonde haired girl raised her hand. "Professor Trelawy," she said in a musical voice, "I believe you have an infestation of nargles on your ceiling."
Trelawy stared at the girl. It then dawned on her that she knew who this girl was- Luna Lovegood. She'd heard Severus complaining about her the other day.
Apparently she'd lost her mother and then she'd gone Loony, completely Loony. Professor Trewlawy stared into space for a moment contemplating the odd girl…..
"Oh she's having one of he freak visions!" she heard somebody hiss. Trewlawy pretended to have one in response…..people never did appreciate her gift…
Somebody threw an eraser at the back of Luna's head. "Ouch! The nargles- professor Trewlawy you must do something about this at once!"
"T-that won't be necessary, my dear child…."
The girl was Loony.
