#divination headcanon

LIVE

Remus Lupin frequently dreaming about a face with the prominent Black features hovering over a seashell, but they keep constantly changing, and he can’t look Sirius in the eyes for a month straight, after he asked Peter for the meaning (Because which other Black would even be seen with him in the future?)

Him being really anxious and scared when they announce their idea to accompany him on the full moon as animagi, but also being really touched and thinking back to what he once saw in a certain Crystal Ball, overwhelmed by his luck.

Remus letting slip that he believes in Divination after Sirius made fun of their professor and admitting that he once saw significant signs for what was coming, which leads to Sirius and James constantly asking him about it and Remus blushing an awful lot.

Sirius Black making up a list with crazy improbable things from which he randomly mixes together what will happen. (This includes people// incident// place// and occasionally other participants)

Him, the undoubted Dramaqueen, telling his professor the results of choosing on the random list: “My head started to harbour this immense pain, when I actually saw this. It was too painful, but I had to share this message with you: You were there, Professor and everything was painted in dark colours that seemed to draw you in. All the dark colours seemed to explode and you were right in the middle screaming agonizingly. Oh and there were tentacles, so it might have been the Giant Squid, too.”

His professor falling in the Black Lake facing the Giant Squid that emitted dark ink everywhere making them believe Sirius instantly forever: “20 points to Gryffindor for this amazing talent of Mr. Black. He knew it. He is the one with the true inner eye. Mr. Black, I am sincerely looking forward to your future accomplishments in the field of Divination!”

Sirius being smug about it and making up lists with even more ridiculous content, but his professor believing him all the time. (This was one of the reasons why Dumbledore, who observed this was on the brink of abolishing Divination class, before Prof. Trewlaney came along)

James Potter being called out for his made up stories, which makes him complain a lot as Sirius could tell the Professor that Dumbledore would be talking to a small boy about socks in front of a mirror and they would celebrate his talent.

Yet, he believes that that flower he managed to recognize in his tea leaves holds special meaning, so he draws strength from the memory when he is getting rejected by the beautiful and fierce Lily Evans for the  50th time and once again orders a nice chocolate arrangement from Honeydukes (according to Sirius birds love chocolate, but when he glanced at Remus as he said that, the boy refused to help them with the planning of any pranks for a week)

Peter Pettigrew being almost on top of this class, second only to Sirius who gets special treatment due to his “enormous natural talent” and taking pride in that fact.

Him seeing glimpses of his future in his dreams regularly, but as a devoted believer in destiny not attempting to change or rush it. Mostly, there is laughter or explosions from pranks they played, but he the Whomping Willow also often reoccurred as well as ginger hair that he can’t exactly pin down (It can’t be Lily, can it?)

Peter finding out about a lot of secret passages by seeing their entrances in a Crystal Ball and searching for them afterwards, so he can surprise his friends with them, which makes them plan to draw them on a certain map.

Peter and Remus growing close thanks to their mutual tutoring, which further develops after Remus trusted him out of all people with his confusing dreams and also stands up for him whenever James and Sirius try to tease the smaller boy.
