LILY POV
I quickly walked up the stairs to the Divination classroom, Sabrina had left her glass ball up in the class, and I had offered to go get it since I was the only one done packing.
I had been concerned about her for awhile. Ever since she had gotten back from the Hogsmead trip she had been distant and quiet. Not a normal thing for the overactive girl. I had also noticed her keeping an extreme distance from the Slytherins. When we had questioned her however, she just told us that she wanted to talk to us in the Gryffindor common room tonight.
When I got up to the classroom, someone was there, but it wasn't Hooves, sadly.
"Potter, what are you doing up here?" I asked rudely.
"Looking for Padfoot, he said he wanted to pull a prank on a teacher, but failed to mention which one, therefore, I am tasked with checking all of his classes." He said simply, as if it was perfectly normal. Since he should technically still be mad at me for that prank, I decided to get the heck out of there as soon as possible.
"Whatever, Potter." I sighed. "I'm just going to find Hooves' freaking ball and get out of here." I said, brushing past him and going to pick up the glass orb that was sitting on her desk. I really hated this classroom…
I was stopped however, by a thin, bony, hand; that had lunged out and grabbed mine. I let out and ear piercing shriek, and I could hear Potter rushing to my side, incase I needed help. However, it was only Professor Trelawney. We both relaxed at the revelation.
"Merlin, Professor, you gave me quite a scare there." I chuckled weakly. Trelawney didn't seem amused, she actually seemed off…
Potter appeared to notice it to, because he gently pulled me to his side.
"Professor? Are you alright?" He asked sharply, his hand hovering over his pocket, which must be where he had his wand. I grabbed onto mine as well. You couldn't be to careful.
"My-my dear, child." Trelawney whispered, looking at me with blank eyes.
"You face a horrible death, in merely four years time, my poor poor child, you've been chosen."
"What do you mean? Lily's not going to die, and she's not chosen! What the heck are you talking about?" Potter demanded. WAIT, Lily? I would deny it later, but I felt myself shrinking into his side, and I could feel his large hand grab for my small one.
Trelawney's attention was diverted from mine and turned to his.
"Love will be the end of you, boy. Your life, ended in a flash, merely for a few more seconds for a mother to have with her child. Save yourself." She whispered, her voice holding a foreboding tone. I shivered, the room feeling about twenty degrees colder than before.
"What the heck Professor? Snap out of it!" James begged, looking immensely disturbed.
Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, and her voice became not one, but three different ones, all taking on almost an electronic sound.
" The fourth will betray
His three brothers, all destined for doom,
One brother for love
The second, pinned forever more for his dear friends end.
The betrayer, will receive death by his own silver hand,
And the last, a monster in disguise, will be the last to die.
A mother's love may save yet one,
One destined for greatness, yet end the end, to die.
For light and dark can't collide,
And both survive.
Twins by birth, foes by their upbringing.
Are set to meet, through a great feat.
A storm is brewing, the lion and snake will collide.
Whether they live or die, no one can decide."
As she reached the last line, her voice slowly returned to normal, and her eyes rolled back into place. She blinked a few times, before looking down at us and smiling.
"Hello dearies, what can I do for you.?" Potter and I both looked at each other, before letting out yells and shrieks of horror, and sprinting out of the room, Trelawney calling after us.
"Have a nice holiday!"
Potter and I continued sprinting, until we reached a corner, and Potter yanked me to the side, I was about to protest until I saw him open a portrait, revealing a small common room. I hated to admit it, but he really knew this castle. We both crawled in and collapsed on the couch, breathing heavily.
"What was that?" I gasped out, terrified by what had just transpired.
"I think it was true." Potter said, going pale.
"What? How could it be true? Divination is a load of rubbish!" I said, sitting straight up.
"No, listen, Trelawney, her and Blaise were third cousins or something," Potter began, flinching slightly at his deceased friends name. "And I remember Blaise always had this knack for predicting stuff like the weather, and when someone would spill food, stuff like that. Anyways, one time, we were hanging out this summer, and he just went blank, before the exact same thing with Trelawney happened to him. It was terrifying, but It came true."
I froze at the information, could their family really contain seers?
"What was the prophecy?" I asked, feeling very unnerved.
"I don't quite remember it, but I remember it said something about a lion, snake, badger, and a raven meeting. Which I am assuming meant you and your friends, I can't recall it all, but it was all dead on accurate."
I groaned. This was just to much.
"So what does this mean?" I asked. He just shrugged, and went over to a tiny desk in the corner, before returning with parchment and a quill and ink.
"OK," He said writing out the first part of the prophecy.
" The fourth will betray
His three brothers, all destined for doom,
One brother for love
The second, pinned forever more for his dear friends end.
The betrayer, will receive death by his own silver hand,
And the last, a monster in disguise, will be the last to die."
"This seems pretty self explanatory," Potter began. "Look, there are four brother, one is going to betray the other three, and all of them are in the end going to die. The first one will die due to love, the second one will be framed, most likely by the betrayer, for the first one's death. The betrayer is going to die by his own hand, and the final one will die last." He said, writing side notes in the margins as he spoke.
"But what does it mean by 'a monster in disguise,' and 'silver hand?'" I questioned. James frowned.
"I'm not sure about that, but let's keep going." he said, continuing to write.
"A mother's love may save yet one,
One destined for greatness, yet end the end, to die.
For light and dark can't collide,
And both survive."
"Good memory." I said, off hand. He just grinned.
"Alright, I get the first part." He announced. "There is this spell, and I don't quite understand how it is cast, but basically, it is when a mother can set her love for her child as a sort of protection charm."
"I've heard of that!" I said excitedly, I had found the entire idea of being able to do such a thing amazing.
"So, what I think this is saying, is that, a mother is going to cast the spell on her child, and he is going to do great things. But he will have to die. Because someone kills him." Potter continued, starting to look excited by the breakthrough.
"So what does the last part mean?" I asked as he wrote it out.
"Twins by birth, foes by their upbringing.
Are set to meet, through a great feat.
A storm is brewing, the lion and snake will collide.
Whether they live or die, no one can decide."
James frowned.
"I have no idea." I frowned and leaned over him slightly to get a better look.
"OK, so in my opinion, it sounds like there are going to be two twins born, but they're going to be raised to hate each other." I said.
"But that makes no sense, why would their families raise them like that?" James questioned. I could only shrug.
"So for the second part. It seems like something big will happen, and that's how they will meet, I'm not sure what it means by storm, but it's probably not good. Anyways, since in Blaise's prophecy, the animals represented me and the Angel's houses, that's probably the case here."
"So one will be in Slytherin and one in Gryffindor!" James finished for me. I nodded, getting excited.
"And I'm not positive, but the last part probably means that their fate hasn't been decided yet." I finished.
"But how does this all tie together?" Potter asked.
"I'm not exactly sure." I said with a frown. "We might have interpreted it wrong also." Potter suddenly started to laugh.
"What?" I asked, feeling self conscious.
"For someone who hates it so much, you're not bad at divination, Evans." He chuckled. I slapped his arm.
"Don't insult me Potter." I laughed.
