I'll search every prediction she's done this summer, but with what I 
remember:

She saw a big black dog, for her it's the grim, when in reality, it's 
Sirius.

Like the Centaurs, she know that Mars means something (GOF,pg 
499: "Today, however, will be an excellent opportunity to examine the 
effects of Mars, for he is placed most interestingly at the present 
time"). Add that with "Mars is bright tonight" and "the innocent are 
always the first to victims", you are the unicorns for the first time 
and Cedric for the second. The next time that someone make a remark 
about Mars, I'll be ready.

I think she said something about the death who fly near the castle 
somewhere.

And there is what she said to Umbridge "something dark...great 
danger" we can't say that the Forbidden Forets helped her:).

What she said to Lavender(?), about what she feared that would happen 
in October. She received something horrible this day. (Safe if we 
said that Trelawney killed the bunny to make her prediction true.)

Divination is really difficutlt, because of the multiple 
interpretations. If she could say what she see without what she 
thinks that it means... she always chose the most 'horrible' possible 
meaning.

Christelle.



(just like that, when I looked for quotes, I found this "Carry on 
like this and you'll be made a Prefect.", by George, to Ron. If he 
only knew :)
