I saw this not as a *prediction*, but as a common
superstition.

The "Friday the 13th" kind.

The other adults' reactions didn't seem to imply that anyone
else was taking this too seriously.

 I dare not, Headmaster! If I join the table, we shall be
thirteen! Nothing could be more unlucky! Never forget that when
thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die!"
