She eyed the burning logs. "Or you know, in this case, if we let the fire go out, it could be a literal, cold reading."

You could never tell with Professor Kapoor.

"Very good, Miss Toussaint. A point for Ravenclaw and thinkfast!" He said, tossing a soft white puff of marshmallow towards her. "Anyone else?".

"Good, Miss Evans. A point for Hufflepuff and a treat as well." He said handing her another fresh marshmallow from the bag.

"Precisely. And precisely what we'll be doing today." Of all the forms of divination Kapoor was least fond of scrying. It was this unfondness for it that had lead him to avoid it for the past several years or so. Though, he supposed touching on the subject once in a decade wouldn't hurt. "So, students. My always brilliant and eager students, today you will be trying your hand at performing a cold reading upon your fellow classmates. To do this you will need to find someone to pair up with. You both are to each take a turn asking a query and trying to determine an answer or outcome for that query using the techniques often applied in cold readings." Having made the biggest marshmallow kabob he could have possibly made, Kapoor moved over to the center of the space once more to roast it. He remembered that he had no fire and no wand and so he used Tibi's roaring pit which he was closest to at the time.
