Trelawney’s Leaky Career I Always Knew TLC needed a Gifted Seer to Help Them out Finally! An employer who understands me! Oh yes, Dumbledore gave me a job at his prestigious school and I’ve awakened seer talents in many a student too, but did he heed my warnings? I warned him at that awful Christmas Lunch that my joining them would have a disastrous affect and yet he still briefly got up during the meal. He wouldn’t even listen when I showed him the flawless proof in my card readings shortly before his murder – the Tower card of the Great Arcade, *hic* I ask you, how can one ignore these indications. I could have told him what I had seen in the future, yet he preferred to go to his death unprepared. Ah … well, … it’s not the first time people refuse my guidance and prefer to ridicule me, just like he did in having that Dobbin teach Divination alongside me. *rearranges her shawls and glances around her new office* Yet The Leaky Cauldron … now they don’t shrink back from the truth, but welcomed me and my skills with open arms. I informed them about the impending danger of an impostor joining their ranks around the start of April – the stars leave no doubt – and they immediately agreed to accept me as News Editor allowing me to use my Inner Eye whilst mingling with the staffers to find this person. The orb tells me my skills will help uncover them within the day. *gazes absentmindedly into the depths of the swirling fog of her for several long seconds …* Naturally, I knew all along that The Leaky Cauldron will hire me as News Editor recognising my importance to their organisation. They were even thoughtful enough to show me where they store my favourite sherry behind their counter, for when I need refreshments. *takes another swig from her bottle and stares around* Seeing I’ll be on a probationary period during my first few days here as News Editor, I want to give them convincing examples of my skills from my time at Hogwarts. So please, … errrr … sit down and let me pour you a cup of tea. Feel free to be honest with me and tell me when I was absolutely right with my predictions and actions. Which were your most favourite and the most impressive? Oh, and some staffer said I need a new haircut and that they wear a special uniform here, no shawls allowed. Is that true? -------------------- Thanks to Makini for the art work, and to kiwi228 for the animation of this avatar.

Professor how long do you foresee this new position of yours lasting. - I saw signs in my tea leaves that it may only last 1 day.

You are obviously not as versed in the accurate reading of the tea leaves as I am. I have seen this appointment coming for weeks now and have not seen a time when it will end. -------------------- Thanks to Makini for the art work, and to kiwi228 for the animation of this avatar.

Professor, I think you are absolutely right about an impostor joining Leaky and I am confident you will uncover who this person is in no time at all. Just one piece of advice, keep a few extra bottles of sherry hidden near your suitcase. I have a feeling you'll need them by tomorrow.
Wishing you much success in your new position.

Professor, I'm so excited that you've joined the leaky team! We really needed someone with knowledge like yours. I think that you're going to change the way things are done around here, and for the better!*

Sybill, nothing personal, but now that we're out of school I don't mind telling you I always felt you were a right old fraud. But I do think you had your moments! Harry told us all about you saying he must have been born under the "baleful influence of Saturn." I mean, you were dead wrong in one way -- Harry's birthday is closer to midsummer than midwinter. But in another sense, hindsight being 20/20 and all, I suppose you might have been picking up on the accidental bit of Voldemort's soul in Harry, eh?

I kinda wish you could have said something about running around the corridors of Hogwarts while there was a war on though... Not that I'd have believed you, mind.

Only for medicinal purposes, mind!Wishing you much success in your new position. The orb has informed me that the imposter goes by the pseudonym of Melvin--perhaps you kind souls could join me in this quest to ensure that only those possessing the true Inner Eye maintain a position here at the Freaky, I mean, LEAKY Cauldron. *hic* QUOTE(Deathly Hallower @ Apr 1 2008, 06:54 AM) Professor, I'm so excited that you've joined the leaky team!

You know, I was just discussing my unique fashion sense with dear Gilderoy, and he even offered to help me start a line of "Divination Drapes" which can either be worn, or placed over offensively bright lamps to help one's aura charge-up, so to speak. He said that they would be sure to be a hit! -------------------- Thanks to Makini for the art work, and to kiwi228 for the animation of this avatar.
