Draco was in a terrible mood the next day. He had just came from Divination and Professor Trelawney had yet again made a prediction of him turning evil. Ever since his father was taken to Askaban the teachers had been exceptionally cruel to him. As if it was his fault for ever bad bone in his fathers body. Though he suspected Trelawneys predictions hadn't come from cruelty but she had taken the event in stride and tried to make a prediction people thought might actually come true.
"Always making up stupid prophecies," he muttered harshly under his breath. "I bet less then half of them are true." Only suggesting some were true because if she was a fraud, Dumbledore wouldn't have hired her in the first place.
"Of course most of them aren't true," said a voice from behind him. He recognized it immediately and after having an internal debate, he turned around to face the girl from the night before.
"What did you say." He didn't ask as a question, more in a tone that suggest if you don't run away now, consequences will take place. But like the night before, she answered oblivious to his mood.
"Of course most them aren't true. A true seer mustn't be taken serious or they could be hunted and used for personal gain. It's like a wrackerspurt, they stay hidden so no one knows where they are and can't be used for their magical properties. They are quite powerful you know," she said this with her eyes always focused on his and he had to fight the erge to turning his head.
Like last night she was barefooted, but instead of being helpless to the elements, she wore her school robes. Which is good he noted since today is very much more colder then the previous. If Hogwarts hadn't been so heavily guarded by magic, he bet there would have been a snow storm going on right about now. She looked up at him, her eyes were wide and if he was as stupid as Ron Weasley, he would have thought they were blurred. He recognized now that he hadn't seen her blink the whole time they had been standing and wondered how she did it. Blinking himself he couldn't help but fear if he didn't do it soon his eyes would end up like hers. Bottomless but not as cold as his head of house, professor Snape. Her face transformed into a peaceful smile. And finally she herself blinked.
"There," she said. "I won. I usually do win but that's because they turn away and don't keep eye contact." Smiling contently she skipped off in the other direction, humming a song he couldn't place a name with. Then he realized with a shock, that she had been under the pretense that they had been playing a stareing match.
He ruffled his silvery blonde hair in confusion. Who was this girl and why was she suddenly appearing before him? Shaking his head as if he could shake her out of his mind Draco descended the rest of the stairs making his way to the great hall. Again he didn't remember he didn't know her name until she was gone.
