_Harry Potter’s_ Neville Longbottom may have just earned himself some extra credit in Divination—he may have foreseen the popularity of [_Stranger Things_](http://time.com/4436008/stranger-things-netflix-references/?iid=sr-link1).

Matthew Lewis, who played Neville in the [_Harry Potter_ movies](http://time.com/4364651/harry-potter-actors-sorted-hogwarts-houses-pottermore/?iid=sr-link6), has a roman numeral tattooed on his bicep and after an encounter with _Stranger Things_ star Millie Bobby Brown, the world finally knows what it symbolizes—Eleven. “A lot of people ask what my tattoo means. Now you know,” Lewis [wrote](https://www.instagram.com/p/BLo5cIejZJG/?taken-by=mattdavelewis) on an Instagram post, while posing with Brown, who plays the character known as Eleven on breakout series. The photo confirms there’s no doubt that [Hogwarts’](http://time.com/4476143/hogwarts-day-pictures-train/?iid=sr-link1) all-seeing Divination Professor Trelawney would be proud of her student’s uncanny ability to foresee the hit television series of the future.

Now that the _Stranger Things_ cast is hanging out in the Harry Potter-verse, can _Stranger Things_ creators the [Duffer Brothers](http://time.com/4473961/stranger-things-season-2-plot/?iid=sr-link4) and J.K. Rowling team up on writing a massive crossover event? We predict it would be a huge hit.
