Harry Potter One Shots And Imagines III

Parvati Patil- Fail (c)

Everyone had a favourite teacher at Hogwarts. Seen as all of the students lived at Hogwarts, everyone took to one of the teachers to get the extra support and care that they were now going to lack due to not having family or other guardians there. You knew that your best friend Parvati had taken to Professor Trelawney, the divination teacher, even before her class was part of your curriculum. You weren't a fan of the class although you still took it just to get an easy class as part of your upcoming exams, but you had nothing against the teacher herself. She was a little quirky and weird, but she was a good person and did her best to teach a subject that she was passionate in.

You didn't wish any ill will to her, so you were slightly upset by her losing her job due to Umbridge's new overbearing rule on the school. Parvati took it far worse than you did, possibly worse than Professor Trelawney took it herself.

For the following classes, you could see that Parvati was struggling to get through the new divination classes and just generally was getting down. When you returned to your shared dorm after class, you sat beside her on her bed, wrapping an arm around her to try and comfort her.

"It's going to be okay," you assured.

She shook her head, a couple of tears escaping from her eyes. "I'm going to fail my OWL's with Trelawney teaching me. I don't know how I am meant to focus when I can't enjoy the classes or focus on the work."

"It will take some adjusting but you're smart and very talented at divination," you smiled.

"I'm scared that I'm going to fail, Y/N," she cried.

"It's going to be okay," you assured her. "I know that Firenze isn't the same, but he is a good teacher."

Parvati cried onto your shoulder as you did your best to hold her and support her. You tried to comfort her, but it was hard when she didn't have anything that made her smile when she had fallen into a level of sorrow.

"You aren't going to fail," you stated, pulling her away from your shoulder so that she would look at you rather than cry onto you. "I'm sure Firenze's classes will help you pass but I will help you study and then you will smash your OWL's."

She offered you a weak tearful smile. "Thank you Y/N."
