Back when I took the potion, Mr Snape said, 'the visions generated by this potion are not inherently of the immutable future, but of a number of futures or pasts that are all possible somewhere, but not necessarily in the world we live in.'
When I talked with Daphne about it she told me they learned in Divination Class about a Seeress who saw these extremely detailed visions but they were all of OTHER versions of reality. Things that were real, but somewhere else. She said the woman gave up on Divination and wrote stories instead (and was rather successful at it).
The thing is I keep thinking about all the things that were different in the dream, the people who were there and not there -- did I mention that Padma Patil and Terry Boot were side by side, watching each others' backs? -- and trying to work out how it got that way. That other place. I mean can you imagine Patil and Terry as mates? It's sort of absurd.
