Meanwhile, during Harry's first Divination lesson, Professor Sybill Trelawney discovers a disturbing omen in his tea leaves, suggesting that something terrible may be approaching.

Most frightening of all are the Dementors, terrifying creatures stationed around Hogwarts to guard against Sirius Black. Their presence casts a shadow over the school and makes Harry's third year more dangerous than ever.
