In the teachers common room the candles flickered in the slight draught, their light providing comfort to two sleepless teachers.
McGonagall continued, cutting Trelawney off before she attempted to predict what conversation was coming next.
Trelawney’s air of dramatics evaporated immediately. McGonagall pressed on with her question
Trelawney stared into her tea. Suddenly glad that Minerva had used tea bags so that she didn’t have to wonder whether there was a tragedy waiting to be read at the bottom of her cup.
Silence hung heavy in the air.
Glancing towards Mcgonagall, Trelawney saw how the predictions were weighing heavy on her already burdened heart.
McGonagall’s attention was brought crashing back into the room by Trelawney’s theatrics.
Thankful for Trelawney’s distracting performance, McGonagall returned her attention to her tea.
McGonagall looked upon her colleague with a new found respect. For the first time that night, she was grateful that the common room had not been as empty as she initially hoped.
(OOC: This was based from the head cannon that has been floating around that all of the students that Trelawney predicted would die actually died in the Battle of Hogwarts - I can’t find the original post, but if anyone has the link let me know an I’ll put it here!)
(Inspired by me snacking during the online yesterday)
