Divination Disaster

Percy's POV:

The first lesson at Hogwarts was a total failure. Let me start from the beginning.

My first lesson was Divination with Zoe, Harry and Ron. Our teacher is Professors Trelawney. According to them, she's a fake. She welcomed us into this weird misty room. She noticed me and came over to me.

"A new student I see. Let me read your future." she grabbed my hand and turned it around so that my palm faced up. " That's weird, I can't see your future but I can see your past. Ha, I can actually see something.(she murmured the last sentence). Prophecies, disaster, loss and war I see."/p

Suddenly she sat up straight.

"A half-blood of the eldest gods

Shall reach sixteen against all odds

And see the world in endless sleep

The heroes soul, cursed blade shall reap

A single choice shall end his days

Olympus to preserve or raze."

Everyone stared at her. I thought she was done but she still had more to say.

"You shall go west, and face the god who has turned

You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned

You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend

And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."

And guess what, she still hadn't finished.

You shall sail the iron ship, with warriors of bone

You shall find what you seek and make it your own

But despair for your life entombed within stone

And fail without friends, to fly home alone."

How many prophecies have I been a part of? I've forgotten.

"Five shall go west to the goddess in chains

One shall be lost in the land without rain

The bane of Olympus shows the trail

Campers and hunters combined prevail

The Titan's curse must one withstand

And one shall perish by a parent's hand."

Zoe suddenly gasped. I heard her murmur, "Hunter's of Artemus...Atlas...Camp Half blood."

Professor Trelawney carried on,

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call

To storm or fire the world must fall

An oath to keep with a final breath

And foes bear arms at the doors of death."

And guess what...STILL GOING!

"Child of Lightning beware the earth

The giants' revenge, the seven shall birth

The forge and dove shall break the cage

And death leash through Hera's rage."

Well that one doesn't really have anything to do with me except for the line 'the seven shall birth'. Next one.

"Go to Alaska.

Find Thanatos and free him.

Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die"

Ares-I mean Mars has a very straight forward way of thinking and I don't think he had much practice in prophecy making.

"To the north, beyond the gods, lies the legion's crown.

Falling from ice, the son of Neptune shall drown."

Well at least that's part of the real prophecy for the quest Mars sent us on.

"Wisdom's daughter walks alone,

The Mark of Athena burns through Rome.

Twins snuff out the angel's breath,

Who holds the key to endless death.

Giants' bane stands gold and pale,

Won through pain from a woven jail."

That was more Annabeth's prophecy even though the last line refers to Annabeth and me falling into Tartarus so maybe that's why it's there. I think professor is finished now.

She returned to normal. "Did I just say something?" she asked as everyone was staring at me and her.

All the crystal balls flashed an image but before I could see what it was an image of, they exploded. NOW everyone stared at me.

"What!?" I pretended to be confused "I don't have any idea of what she was talking about either. I especially don't know why the crystal balls exploded (the last bit was true)"

I saw Zoe trying discreetly to wave her arms at me to catch my attention. When she saw that I saw her, she mouthed two words. I remember.

"Class dismissed" Professor Trelawney exclaimed.
