Heart of the Dragon.

Ginny quickly got her things up to her room and closed the door before Draco could ask what's wrong. Draco turned to look at Charlie before he decided to go to Ron's room and pack his new supply of books for the coming new term in his trunk.

Charlie decided to talk some more with Ginny about her strange feelings of love for Draco. “Ginny, it's me, Charlie. Can I come in?”

“Come in,” spoke a voice within the room.

Charlie entered the room to see Ginny sitting on her bed with her dress robes folding them up as she had her trunk opened. “Ginny, I saw how you looked at Harry today. I think he knows something is wrong with you.”

“I acted like I was not 'interested' in him any more, right?” asked Ginny, looking up at her older brother.

Charlie nodded. “You also didn't look like you were drooling over him like you usually would do, Ginny,”

“Harry will understand that I'm growing up and I can't keep on drooling over him forever,” spoke Ginny, looking up at her brother as she put her folded up dress robe in her trunk.

“Are you sure?” asked Charlie, looking at her as he helped her with her books.

“Yes, Charlie,” said Ginny, as she watched him walk out of her room and his footsteps faded from hearing range.

Meanwhile, in the Divination tower, Sibyll Trelawney was gazing into her crystal ball when she got a visitor in Albus Dumbledore. The old wizard climbed into her tower and smiled at her.

“My dear Sibyll, how are you this fine afternoon hour?”

“My inner eye is uneasy, Albus. Something strange is going on.” spoke Trelawney, looking at him and then suddenly her eyes got that foggy look to them and her voice went to a different tone, “The heart of the Dragon will be won by a woman of red hair and the fury of the houses will be over.”

Albus sat there looking at her amazed by what he heard. He was writing it down when Professor Trelawney's head fell forward onto her chest. She made a grunting sort of noise. He sat there, staring at her. Then quite suddenly, Professor Trelawney's head snapped up again.

"I'm so sorry, Albus," she said dreamily, "The heat of the day, you know... I drifted off for a moment...."

“Yes, you did, Sibyll. I best be on my way. It was really nice chatting with you. I suggest getting some sleep,” smiled Albus, as he quickly left the room to ponder over what she had prophesied.

Dumbledore was so preoccupied with what she said that he didn't watch where he was going when he bumped into someone. “Oh terribly sorry,”

“Just be careful, headmaster. You could take a bad fall not watching where you walk,” spoke a voice.

Albus looked up at the man who he had bumped into, “Oh Severus. Sorry about bumping into you. I just….”

“Busy reading the parchment, I understand headmaster,” smirked Severus.

“It's something I wrote down when Trelawney started to speak of a prophecy. Quite strange,” spoke Albus.

“May I read it? I might be able to help you with it?” asked Severus, holding his hand out towards Albus. Albus nodded as he handed the parchment to Severus, who gazed over the written words. “The heart of the dragon will be won by a woman of red hair. The fury of the Houses will be over. I never heard of anything this strange before coming from Trelawney.”

“I know. This prediction is about dragons. Maybe I was right to ask Charlie Weasley to join the staff here?” mumbled Albus.

“Not *THE* Charlie Weasley, the dragon keeper?” spat Severus.

“THE Charlie Weasley, Severus. Hagrid is still talking with the giants and he won't be back for school term so he requested that Charlie Weasley take his place as Care of Magical Creatures teacher,” spoke Albus, not minding that Severus was shocked to hear that another Weasley was going to be at the school.

Severus nodded as he handed the parchment back to Albus. “But what if it's not about Dragons, then what?”

“Then, we will just have to wait till the clues fully reveal themselves to us,” spoke Albus, as he walked away from Severus.

Stay tuned, the next one is coming.
