I am not sure this is it, but this is what I caught on my last
reading of PoA...

Ch. 11 Christmas lunch when Trelawney comes to join the table.

"Sibyll, this is a pleasant surprise," said Dumbledore, STANDING UP.
(my emphasis)

further down...

"Never forget that when thirteen dine together, THE FIRST TO RISE
will be the first to die!"

Trelawney had not actually joined them at that point, so I am not
sure if Dumbledore standing up counts as there were still only 12
actually dining. But I was struck by this pointed reference to
Dumbledore standing up. There is no mention of him standing up when
Ron and Harry join them.

Me:  I saw more along the lines that if there are thirteen people dining,
then the first of those to rise would be the first to die.  Harry & Ron were
with first ones to get up out of the thirteen people.  The only one I saw
that was nervous or laughing about it was Ron.  If Ron and Harry did rise at
exactly the same time, then why would Ron need to be laughing it off.
