Something Wicked

Prologue

Yesterday I overheard Diana talking in the hall.

I know I shouldn’t have listened, she would be upset with me if she knew I heard her private conversation, but I couldn’t help myself.

I don’t know who she was talking to, but she described this vision she had, a vision about Harry.

He did something terrible, but it wasn’t really his fault.

I know it couldn’t be his fault because Harry would never do anything bad to anyone.

And then she Saw Harry with a crown on his head.

I wouldn’t normally care too much about Diana’s visions, but I’m almost entirely sure I’ve seen the same thing.

I don’t want Harry to do anything bad.

Is Harry going to become the king?
