'Sybill, this is a pleasant surprise!' said Dumbledore, standing up.

'I have been crystal-gazing, Headmaster,' said Professor Trelawney, in her mistiest, most far away voice, 'and to my astonishment, I saw myself abandoning my solitary luncheon and coming to join you.'

....' Who am I to refuse the promptings of fate? I at once hastened from my tower, and I do beg you to forgive my lateness...'

'Certainly, certainly,' said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling. 'Let me draw you up a chair-'

And he did indeed draw up a chair in mid-air with his wand, which revolved around for a few seconds before falling with a thud between Professors Snape and McGonagall. Professor Trelawney, however, did not sit down; her enormous eyes had been roving around the table, and suddenly she uttered a kind of soft scream.

'I dare not headmaster! If I join the table, we shall be thirteen! Nothing could be more unlucky! Never forget that when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die!'

'We'll risk it, Sybill,' said Professor McGonagall impatiently. 'Do sit down, the turkey's getting stone cold.'

Professor Trelawney hesitated, then lowered herself into a empty chair, eyes shut and mouth clenched tight, as though expecting a thunderbolt to hit the table. Professor McGonagall poked a large spoon into the nearest tureen.

That scene takes place in the chapter "The Firebolt" on pages 227-230 of the American Hardcover version.

Pay particular attention to the bolded part.

There were thirteen sitting at the table if you count Petigrew

Do you think that was Rowling giving us a subtle hint that Dumbledore was going to die?

if so, it seems Trelawney may be much better at Divinitation then everyone says she is.

Probably, she has a way of doing that sometimes. But I had completely forgotten about that part.

Haha wow that was a good catch, and kind of cool
Maybe it was just a coincidence but i dont think so
Doesnt say who was the first one to stand up, (which book is this?)

EDIT: nvm its three, i only have the british version though.....

That is a good catch. This never even crossed my mind after reading the sixth.

=o Your smart for spotting that out. And Jk supposedly loves to foreshadow A LOT of things.

Didn't they say the first one to stand up from the table would die and I thought it was Sirius, it's either him or Dumbledore who stood up first, was Sirius at the table?

Edit: Also it says all thirteen and since Trelawney wasn't sitting down yet when Dumbledore stood up, he wasn't the first person, I think Sirius who stood up first after all thirteen were sitting.

This scene took place before it was proven to anyone that Sirius did not reveal James, and Lilly's location. I doubt Dumledore would just let a believed murderer sit at the same table with the person everybody believed was his next target.

Ah, you have a good eye for detail. That is interesting. Maybe... she is one to foreshadow.
