First Year,
True Prophecies
While Phoebe told Cedric she would love to hang out with him, her nerves had gotten the better of her. It had been almost two weeks and her sister and cousin were beginning to part ways. Rhea quick sprung up a friendship with two Gryffindor girls, Angelina and Alicia. While Laura said she had friends, neither Phoebe nor Rhea was convinced she did, she knew that Laura talked to Cedric as they shared their dormitory.
Phoebe sat in her Charms class with her head of house Professor Flitwick, as sat with Rhea, for a change. As Phoebe tried to do her work, Rhea kept peeking over her work, trying to get the answers, as Phoebe nudged her away, she clutched her head,
Laughter filled the halls of Hogwarts, many students crowded outside in the courtyard, as the area cleared upon professor McGonagall's arrival. Rhea was strung up by her ankle, she desperately tried to reach up to untangle herself.
"Miss Black, who did this to you?"
"Fred Weasley, I know it was him,"
"Pheebs, Phoebe," Rhea shook her shoulder
"What?" she said quietly looking around her, she spotted one of the Weasley twins, she didn't know who was who yet. "Are you friends with them twin boys?"
"No definitely not,"
"Oh, why not they seem alright?" Phoebe questioned
"They're annoying, you don't share a dormitory with them, are you sure you're okay, you blanked out, like when you, see something," she whispered
"Nope, I'm fine," Phoebe said, smiling to herself.
She didn't tell people everything she saw, especially if it involved a few laughs along the way. Although she wanted to know how long it would take to happen, 'maybe mum's friend, professor Trelawney can help.' she thought. Phoebe had already been given the directions to her office, by Ethan who had spoken to the divination professor regarding her ability.
As class came to end, Phoebe made her way to Professor Trelawney's office, she waited as there was a professor discussed her lessons. As the professor left Phoebe took a deep breath, she had never spoken to someone, other than her family about her ability, she knocked on the door from the sound inside it seemed she startled the teacher.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you,"
"Quite alright, how might I help you, miss?"
"Black, Phoebe Black-"
"Oh Phoebe, I haven't seen you since you were a toddler, your mother told me I might see you," She said, smiling at the girl,
Phoebe looked over her appearance, she was thin, draped in a spangled shawl with many chains and beads hung around her neck. Large glasses that magnified her eyes, she had frizzy hair similar to her mother, she held it away from her face with a bandana.
"I was wondering if you could help me understand a little more about what I can do,"
"Of course. Of course dear," she hurried to her desk, looking through her paperwork, "I'm free Monday after dinner and Thursday mornings," she handed Phoebe the piece of paper with her times, walking straight past her to a bookshelf, "for now this might help, it's just a standard read through, from seers all around the world,"
"Thank you, how long can I keep it?" she asked
"As long as you need, it's my personal copy,"
"Thank you so much," she wrapped her arms around Professor Trelawney, she quickly moved away after realising she was hugging a teacher, "Sorry, I'll read it as soon as I can,"
She hurried down the staircase, hoping to find a quiet place in the library to do some reading. As she made her way to the library, the only option was to sit at the centre tables. She opened the book to the first page delicately reading through, she didn't want to be responsible for damage to Professor Trelawney's book.
'Cassandra the first recorded seer, born in Greece the young witch was cursed by her village, after she uttered true prophecies, but never to be believed...
Many wizards believe the origin of a Seers gift of the second sight, originated in Greece, along with Cassandra was Phoebe Titan daughter of Uranus and Gaea, right hand Oracle of Apollo and heavily associated with the moon. The titan became a symbol of hope amongst many wizards and werewolves alike...
"Is it a good book?"
"Ahh, my goodness you scared me"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Cedric apologised, "do you mind if I sit with you?"
"Not at all," he seat next to her placing his own books down, he looked at her book.
"Are you interested in them?" he asked
"What?"
"Seers, are you interested in Divination?" he asked again
"Oh, yes my mother told me my great-grandmother is a seer, I think it's unusual,"
"I wouldn't say unusual, your great-grandmother is unique, not a lot of people can do anything like that, I'd love to know what the future holds,"
"You wouldn't if you lived it," she said, he creased his brows realising what she said, she quickly added, "my grammy said that it can be horrible knowing too much about the future, knowing when your family will die, friends will betray you,"
"I wouldn't want to see that either, does she see a lot of things like that?"
"Not always she sees some good things, she knew my mother would have a big family, that she would have twins and she knew it would be with my dad even before they dated,"
"She practically knew family before they were born, that's really cool,"
She smiled no one besides her family had called her ability cool, then she remembered what her mother told her. 'If they don't love you for are you are, then they aren't someone you need in your life,' she hoped to one day tell a friend about her ability but for now, her ability remained between her and her family.
