A hectic day
Professor Trelawney was sitting on his soft ottoman, intent on keeping his students through the thick lenses of his glasses bizarre.
In fact, the professor of Divination was bizarre.
Her mass of curly hair was partially tamed by a silk scarf tied behind the head, the ends of which flowed down to the thick belt that the bands life. The sunken face, thin lips put further enhance brown eyes, magnified by the lenses for its high myopia. For every move, you could hear the tinkling of crystal long earrings that dangled from her ears.
absently fiddled with her necklace, which he enjoyed to knot between his bony fingers.
Hynion hated Divination, when he got the ' tassomanzia time. To tassomanzia to drink tea. And she hated tea.
In fact, he wondered how he had decided to continue to study after the OWL
Not that she had never liked much, but there was no material to plug the hole in the new time hours.
He sent down the ' concoction with a ' disgusted expression, until leaving the bottom of a small amount of liquid and leaves, then spun three times what was left and inverted cup on a saucer giving three taps so that more leaves fall as possible.
Question. Uncertainty and change.
"What we are thinner ... hissed Hynion, payment of ' more tea. "I knew that already."
Clouds. Doubts.
"Are you going to turn over the knife for much longer?" Asked altered the pot is still hot, and Professor Trelawney looked up from his book.
"Any problem, my dear?"
"No problem," she snorted, and tried again for the third time to get a response.
Cardo, its ambitions: Snape. Pork, difficulties in a relationship with Snape. Capra, bad luck with Snape. Bat, disappointment: Snape. Ass, it must be patience with Snape. Cane, need for support: Cat Feather, more efforts should be made: To avoid deleting Snape. Fork, deviation from a target: by Snape. Eye, be careful: Snape. Canvas, complications: Snape. Gun, catastrophe: Snape. Violin, loneliness. Without Snape.
"But ... this ... the ... I know ... already, "snapped Hynion after the fourteenth cup.
Its bell jar was ' and over, and the last two times he even had to borrow to Catherine.
"Hynion Granger, are you sure you feel good?" He asked again Trelawney. "It seems so strange,"
Heaven.
If Trelawney even considered it strange, must have been really bad.
"I'm not really sure," admitted Hynion, he felt a full stomach as a dam.
"Then go out and get some ' d' fresh air, dear," she said, before returning to his inspection. "The accompany you, Miss McKey?
" You do not seem to have exaggerated? " scolded Catherine, when they were far enough away from ' classroom. "Fourteen cups of tea are too many even for those who love him. Just imagine for you. "
" Do not ask ... murmured Hynion, sick, and leaned against the sill of stone.
"You can know what c ' was wrong in your forecasts? Eh?
She looked disgusted.
"Are you sure you want to know? Asked drawl.
"Tea makes you just a bad effect, my dear," sighed Catherine. "But yes, I know."
"Then." Hynion the point the ' index between the eyes. "First, they were not predictions, but facts." And lists them one by one the signs that were formed. Cat was listening impassively. "That is to say, I'm going through a period of doubts and uncertainties, because my ambitions are too high, I can not establish a relationship with him because of my bad luck and disappointment she feels towards me, so I need patience and support from you, try harder I could also set some other goal, but he is always there, behind the ' corner to complicate their lives, to make my life become a disaster and let me stay all alone. L ' oracle spoke ... and I feel like throwing up. "
" I'll go to the bathroom? "
"No. Waiting to access ' Potions classroom. "

'I-kappa-s is a spirit of amphibian f-gg-Japanese folklore, "the professor was explaining Quirinius Quirrell, standing behind his chair," c-dragging in the water v-animal and human victims m-mutilation and drown. "
" Mu ... you ... the ... king, "wrote Hynion softly, and pointed out many times that word. "I really want to do it."
"Now should c-ll-ll-read the book," replied the ' teacher. "Mr. Higgs S-, p-wants to try her?"
Terence Higgs rose from his chair with his book in his hands.
"Kappa live in rivers, lakes, ponds, but they have no problem to look for also prey on earth, "he read aloud. "Traditionally, the legends describe them as extremely evil, eager to devour the entrails of victims and drink their blood would be particularly fond of human liver. Nevertheless, they are also considered smart and worthy of respect. It is said that the ' humanity has learned ' art of healing broken bones from a kappa, which provided that knowledge in return for his arm, which had been ripped off during a raid. The members of Kappa, in fact, if you put down within a few days to become like new. Fully grown, a kappa has to ' about the size of a boy of ten years. He has scaly skin and a yellowish green color, the nose of a monkey and the back of a turtle, while the hands and feet are webbed for swimming easily. Its most striking physical characteristic is perhaps a hollow bowl-shaped head, which must always contain ' water, even if it is to keep the ground the supernatural powers and prodigious strength. The best way to overcome a kappa, therefore, is bowing repeatedly in front of him. Being a creature exceptionally friendly, you feel committed to do the same. After several bows, all the liquid will be poured from his head and he will be forced to return to his home water. A ' other strategy to tame a kappa is unwilling to offer the cucumbers, which, with ' is known, are his favorite food. They say that carving the names of family members on the skin of cucumbers and throwing them in water to protect people from the kappa, which, accepting the gift of cucumbers, they feel bound by a commitment of ' honor not to harm to their namesakes. "
" These Japanese are just weird, "she whispered Hynion Cat, and raised his hand to intervene.
'S-yes, Miss Granger? "
" Professor, it is true that in China the kappa are creatures born from ' meeting of a demon with a woman human? "he asked.
Raptor smiled smugly.
"E-correct."
"I also heard that they have eyes and red hair, and unlike the Japanese people as perfectly normal and live as men, although they powers. And who are considered a taboo, something unworthy. "
" C-course, "nodded the professor. "In this aspect q-cc ' is a vague similarity with the c-f-t the son of the witch-times of ' Inquisition. S-q-just that they were treated v-p-even worse. "He drew from his pocket a small scroll sealed with wax, and motioned him over. "C-P-deliver it to Professor Snape," he said softly. "C-there are m-my apologies for last night."
"But you should not apologize to No, "replied Hynion. "You're a teacher, and has every right to do whatever he wants whenever he wants!"
'S-yes, but do not want to create v-f-nn-trouble to anyone. C-believe me, Miss Granger, you better c-so. "
" How do you want ', then surrendered Hynion, took delivery of the message and headed for the ' Potions Classroom .
Hynion When he entered, Snape was pressed the first-year students. Hermione held his hand up for who knows how, but the professor had no intention to use them. Oh sure, typical of Snape. Its class, its rules, its reins. He commanded, the others were limited to run.
"Lower your hand, Hermione. You will not even talk about torture, "he informed, passing between rows of pews.
"Well, boys," he said in the tone ' teacher. "Today we're making a potion against the headmaster too impertinent."
"And maybe even for a wicked good teachers too," said Hynion, handing him the parchment. "A message from Professor Quirrell."
Snape pulled out of the hands it to him suspicious, opened it with little grace and gave her a quick read.
Hynion shifted my gaze to the class, which had remained to watch the scene in silence.
"You can say a Raptor," replied Snape through clenched teeth, "that I fully understood his reasons. All. "
"Can not you?" Hynion dared to ask.
"Riferiscigli conclude that our conversation ... in private."
"Yes, sir," she sighed, and went from ' classroom between hiss of his long coat.
