Chapter 16: Professor Trelawney's Prediction

Harry attends Divination class with Professor Sybill Trelawney, known for her eccentricity and psychic abilities. The class begins with students nearing the end of their tea leaf readings. Amidst the playful skepticism, Trelawney's predictions are met with amusement, particularly from Hermione.

However, the atmosphere shifts dramatically when Trelawney falls into a trance and delivers a chilling prophecy. She warns Harry that he will face danger, mentioning a "dark mark" and suggesting that one of his friends will betray him. Harry is disturbed by this ominous message, feeling the weight of her words as they contrast sharply with the trust he places in his friends.

As the class resumes, Hermione expresses her doubts about Trelawney's legitimacy, leading to tension within the group. However, Harry cannot shake the feeling of foreboding that accompanies Trelawney's prediction. The chapter effectively builds suspense while exploring themes of fate, free will, and the complexity of friendship, hinting at the challenges that lie ahead and the potential for betrayal among those Harry holds dear.
