John had written a message to one of the Ministers of Magic due to the fact he needed new spectacles with more potent potions placed upon them. John had the gift of Sight, a powerful Sight at that from which the Ministers of Magic are willing to ensure the future for John, with their help John was able to obtain special spectacles that prevented the waves of the future, past, present and the souls of Man to penetrate his vision, but now with things going on they are now worn out and he desperately needs another pair, without them he can be driven mad with the constant visions. For a while now all's he's been having is headaches which then turned to mindgranes and now as he attempts to pass the letter to his grouchy screech owl named Screechers he can begin to feel his mind slowly unfolding.
The first signs are paranoia, always constantly looking for the signs. When John looked to the clouds a vision struck him:
A slytherin girl would be heading his way and if his owl didn't take the letter soon-- which he predicted it wouldn't-- he would bump into her. Its not exactly a good first impression to seem like your crazy, bad enough for the past several years John has no friends due to his first year incidences.

Koyal finished the last line of the letter. Plesaeeee write to me soon. With lots of love, Koyal. She neatly folded it and put the letter in the envelope and then made her way towards the owlrey. She hoped her letter would soon reach her father. She got worried when she did not got a letter from him for a long time, although she understood he had a busy life. But she needed to know he was fine.
She climbed up the straw covered stairs. She had never really liked the owlrey before. All the time it was covered with more owls than a place should have and the whole floor was dirty with owl droppings and the remains of the owl food. But even if she would have got her own owl, she would have to go to fetch it at the owlrey anyway.
She walked inside the straw covered room filled with owls, humming to herself when she found herself bump with a boy. "Excuse me?" she frowned.

John was nearly pushed into Screechers who screeched with irritation and bit John on the finger drawing blood, "Damn it." he muttered to the bird before turning to the girl, careful not to look into her eyes. The eyes were the gateway to the soul and John had access to that. Who need to learn Legimmency or occulmency when you had an in born talent to peer into the mind and hearts of Man? John cursed his gift. It was however very useful, but very draining to use. Although with that being said, it was much harder to prevent it, instead it was easier to avoid any sort of eye contact, to afraid to peer into the souls.
John smiled looking at her feet, "I'm so sorry." John said soothingly, "My owl seems to be very..." John shot a glare at it, and it hissed at him, "not want to take my letter." the blood trinkled down his finger before he took out a vial and allowed a few drops to pour into it before he allowed himself to tend to it. "I do apologize, forgive me." John said before turning his back to her. Maybe it wasn't good to make friends, John thought to himself, I would have made some by now.
John tried the letter again but Screechers wings flew up and hissed at John once more, John sighed before glaring at his bird again. "Tell me why I keep you again?" John said peering into the eyes of the bird. Screechers is John's familiar, with his ability to see into the souls, John was able to communicate with animals, plants, insects, stones, rivers and trees. John nodded, "Well take the letter then." John snapped, John tensed but did not turn, "I must sound crazy don't I?"

Koyal looked at the boy, confused. He had apologized so she was no more annoyed. She laughed as he said did he sound crazy. "Maybe," she smiled. "If the owl is not listening to you can I suggest something?" she said, "Send the letter from one of the school owls. Your owl will then feel if he does not behave well you will exchange him with some pet with good behaviour."

John raised a brow, "You hear that. I'm gunna get a new owl and you'll make an excellent soup, or fried owl." John turned his back to the annoyed bird and John gave her a tiny smile, "I do appreciate what you did offer, but unfortunetly, my owl is the only one allowed to go where its going I'm afraid, he knows that. What he wants is something I can't give him..." John trailed off, eyes going distant, shifting, "Oh!" John jumped.
He turned his back to the girl again before turning to the bird muttering a threat and the bird took the letter but did not fly off and John sighed, "Your being annoucance you know that Screechers?" just in time the owl screeched. John sighed before turning his focus to the girl once more, "Koyla I suggest you mail your letter quickly to your father, if not your bird will be caught in a storm and your letter will be lost."

"What does the owl want?" Koyal asked with polite curiosity when once again she was surprised as the owl screeched and the boy turned towards it.
"Koyla I suggest you mail your letter quickly to your father, if not your bird will be caught in a storm and your letter will be lost." Koyal stared in surprise, her eyes slightly wide. How did he know her name was Koyal? That was not very surprising since they were both in same school he must have known that somehow. But how had he known to whom she was here to send her letter to? And how did he know there was a storm about to be there and the letter would be lost in it. "How do you know I am sending hte lettter to my dad?" she asked, "And who told you there will be a storm?"

John closed his eyes raising his face to the wind, "The northern winds bring about news of a storm approaching. I caught a glimpse of the future of you telling your name and why you were here, but I do insist we get that bird out and going. Your father misses you very much." John said turning to her, "You wanted the white owl? Correct?" John pointed to the female snowy owl perched silently and waiting for something to do.
John blushed slightly, "I did it again..." John sighed, "I do apologize for my rude behavior. I have no control right now over what I see." John mutters glaring at the bird who hissed.

Koyal stared in surprised for a moment. Yes she indeed was thinking to have the beautiful white owl. She took the owl and tied the letter around its feet and let it fly into the sky before she looked back at the boy. "You talk as if you are Seer," she said in surprise.

John held himself, it was his thing he did when he became upset or uncomftorable, but he did not bite his nails which was a sign of nervousness instead he met the woman, did not look into her eyes and said with a weak smile, "My dear, I wish I was a Seer. What I am is far greater then even that... An Oracle. One who cannot stop seeing the past, present and future." John shook his head, John looked to his bird, then smiled, "Please don't be sad or feel sorry for me." John said looking at her again, "we each have our own barrings, our own troubles to worry about. You have nothing to fear at this moment Koyal, I assure you. You'll ace your exams, and you'll be a grand witch. Your name will be place in the Daily Prophet, and you'll make galleons. So keep your chin up." John assured her before saying, "You have power. More then the typical witch."

Koyal was still surprised. It was hard to believe she was not dreaming. From what the boy was telling about her future it seemed her dream of being a famous singer was going to be true. "You are not joking are you?" she asked. It was not as if she was blaming him. She was just too confused as a few minutes ago when she was on her way to owlrey, she was not even sure there were any true Seers. And now she has met an Oracle.

John snickered, "Yes. I can see you traveling the world bringing your music to many people, and you'll be adored. You'll be happy, and your father will be very proud of you." John said kindly, "YOu don't believe me?" John said, raising a brow questionably. "Thunder is going to roar... right... about... now..." The thunder was so loud Screechers jumped back. John snickered, "SOrry about that." John said to his pet. Before turning to the woman, "Think something. I can hear it."

Koyal was still too confused. She hoped she had not fallen asleep and this was all real. The thunder rolled just as the boy said which indeed made her more suprised. "Ok fine I will think," she said. She decided to think about something that her Hogwarts freinds wouldn't really know. She thought about the kind house elf at her home which was always nice with her not like the other greedy servants. "What am I thinking?" she asked him. If he was not joking, she would know now. There was no way to guess about Bow, the obedient house elf which she did not think she has talked much about, unless if he really was saying truth.

John laughed, "No fair you believe me now." John blinked in surprise. He was laughing?
John the smiled, "Bow is a nice househelf, very obedient. You take god care of him, and because of that, you two have gotten a very close relation between you two. You don't talk about him much with your friends, you don't know the house-elf as much as you wish, but the one thing you do know about Bow is, he never lies."

"House elves don't lie to their masters anyways," Koyal said but other than this, all the rest of what the boy has told could not be mere guess. "Wow so you are speaking truth," she said.

John nodded, "That, or I'm just really crazy. I'm muggle born, so the magical community is still pretty new to me. House elves, I only read about them in books. Never even laid eyes on them." John smirked, "Its odd isn't it? A muggle born with such a powerful Sight? The Ministry of Magic is trying to figure that one out. Not going to good. They want to hire me right out of school, pay decent to be an Oracle. Although... The gift eventually drives you mad... So I wonder... Am I going insane? Have I already lost it?" John tilted his head to the side, as if pondering the answer.
"The I figured, if I have gone insane, I wouldn't know it. I would have stopped asking if I did."
