Albus Dumbledore was a skeptic when one Sybill Trelawney, great-granddaughter of the Seer Cassandra, was applying for the position of Divination. It was not because he did not believe in the ability of people to predict the future but seers are rare. However, he had to give her a chance even if it is for the sake of her relation to the great seer.

"Oh goodness!" she exclaimed as she looked into her tea leaves "I see that you shall die by a curse of the torn soul hidden inside Death's ring. You were blinded by the promise of the deceased thus your life is eaten by the dark one's curse. First your arm shall lose strength, then your magic shall dwindle and an unsung martyr shall end your life with green light. "

"That is enlightening Sybill," he humored her because he did not quite believe in her prediction. He was sure she was a fraud. He should not play favorite so he had to dismiss her and it was not because she predicted that his death would be gruesome.

"It is odd though for I see only the mirror of possibility," she murmured to herself "This timeline is so much different from ours. Odd conundrum, four variables in the equation yet all are shadows soaked in blood and tears."

She went still.

Albus really wanted to award her for her effort. Sadly, he was not impressed.

"Sybill?" he tried to snap her out of whatever she was doing.

Then she turned to him with milky eyes laced with poison green, a swirling pool of wisdom and abyss. Her voice was different as if three different people (a young girl, a mature woman and an old crone) were trying to speak through her and she delivered her prophecy.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark lord approaches ,

born to the line of shrouded cloak and a beauteous flower,

born as the seventh month dies,

he shall have the passion and grace of the dark lord's equal

their past, present and future intertwine

yet he shall burn in fury and vengeance for the dark lord's treachery

beware of the wind's temper, take caution the unpredictable maelstrom and abide the pearl's heed"

Albus looked at her in wonderment as the woman collapsed in her chair. That one was a prophecy and it was not fake.

"Sybill?"he shook the woman awake who only blinked at him in confusion.

"Didn't Professor Snape kill you?" she asked then blinked again "Or was it in another world? How odd."

Albus was the one who blinked this time and disregarded the mumbling because that was not a prophecy unlike the one before. He forced himself to smile though as he informed a happy seer that she was accepted to Hogwarts.

Tenshi: Hahaha, who finds it ironic that for once, Trelawney's predictions are spot on? I do! Though for some reason, she acts a bit like Luna.
