December 25th, 2012: As this story was in such a huge demand within my collection of short HP x IY drabbles, I decided that it was best to create a personal story for it once the second half began to expand to the point I felt it deserved its own special place within my documents. Therefore, as a Christmas present this year, I give to you: Foresight.

One

Luna Lovegood leaned into the crystal ball once more, attempting to see something that would be worthy of the unseen. Her large, unblinking eyes stared and stared, before she finally giggled and turned to her Gryffindor partner. "Divination is such an interesting subject," she said, "and, yet, it appears that Professor Trelawney is right."

"Right about what, Luna?" Higurashi Kagome asked, curious.

"I do not have the gift of foresight," Luna stated matter-of-factly. "It's only a minor discovery, though I had suspected such. Not many are gifted with such power that they can defy the fabric of time itself and see the future."

"Oh, I don't know, Luna," the Gryffindor girl smiled. "I think you'd be pretty good at it if you continued to try."

The Ravenclaw blinked lightly at her, before she smiled brightly. "Oh no," she sighed dreamily, "I don't believe so. People like you and Professor Trelawney are very hard to come by. It's a gift that you have to be born with, not something that you can merely learn in a classroom. Reading tealeaves and predicting the future is simple, but actual foresight is something you are blessed with."

Kagome flushed somewhat under the Ravenclaw's smile.

"Tell me, Kagome," Luna asked suddenly, "what is it that you see in the ball?"

Used to the attention, the Gryffindor merely shifted on her plush pillow and gazed deeply into the crystal ball sitting innocently on the table. "Oh," she leaned her head into her hand, "I don't know." The mist shifted somewhat, splitting down the middle, and she felt the usual drowsiness and drooped her eyelids as the light flashed in her gaze. "It's so bright."

Professor Trelawney paused in her lecture toward another student, watching her favorite student lean into her crystal ball suddenly. "Oh my," she muttered.

"Who is that?" Her voice was distant, broken, as the future began to open up before her eyes. "Is that me?"

Luna stared, fascinated.

Cradling the ball between her hands, Kagome sighed with pleasure when she realized that her future looked beautiful. It was colorful and bright, swirling around her and filling her with the happiness that her future self seemed to possess. And then, oh then, a smile touched her face when she watched herself turn with a smile and leaned up to accept the light caress of lips that she was rewarded with.

Floating in her slight delirium, the Gryffindor girl felt herself subconsciously pull the veil on the vision she was gifted with. Her curiosity was great, wanting, and she wanted to know the name and face of the person that could make her future feel so amazing. And, while it was slow, she glanced up finally when the future finally decided to show her, her future with—

Draco Malfoy!

Luna flinched, as her Gryffindor partner suddenly flung the crystal ball away from her with a shriek. She reached out for her, watching the girl come back to herself with wild, frantic eyes. "Kagome?" she asked lightly. "Are you all right?"

"Professor Trelawney!" Kagome nearly yelled, panting heavily. "Professor Trelawney, tell me that it's not true!"

Professor Trelawney blinked owlishly, as she said simply, "The gift of foresight shows us what will be, Kagome. It is not the same as a prediction, for there are not two sides to the coin. I'm sure that whatever you saw is not truly so horrible that—!"

"NO!" Higurashi Kagome yelled, and quickly ran from the classroom.
