'That so didn't hurt.' Muh muh muhhh.. Oliver pulled a stupid face behind Torin's back then focused on the professor, raising his hand to answer the question. “Professor, divination is an intuition or magic used to foretell future events... often through objects or.." He glanced at Nancy. "Weird stuff like moles on the face.” hah.

Raising his hand, Ty went for the straightforward. "Professor, is it finding out the things we wouldn't normally know? Time-wise? Like, the future, or the distant past. . ." Okay, so he felt a little ridiculous but so what? It was a GOOD answer. He was thinking outside the box!
Uncle James always said that was the BEST type of thinking.

What is Divination? This professor was going easy on the first question. Abby's hand shot into the air. "Professor, Divination is the methods used to shed light on future events," she said. Yuck, that was such a cliche way of putting it. It was still correct though, right? "Basically, it doesn't necessarily foretell things to come, but it insights information about it, or divines the future," she clarified.

Rafe raised his hand, "Divination is a branch of magic that reads signs, observes omens and uses things around them like the stars, magic stones, sacrificed animals, or tea leaves," Rafe made a face, "as a way to look into the future. But, not everyone has that special gift, it usually takes oracles or seers to predict things accurately."

Hmm. What divination was. "Isn't it like an interpretation of what could happen in our future?" Brody asked, as she raised her hand. She thought for a few more seconds before speaking again. "It allows us, through the forms of reading tea leaves, and looking in crystal balls to interpret what could potentially happen to us in the future. People might think that it's a little not realistic, because it might not be concrete, but I believe that it should be loosely used to see what might happen in our futures."

William put his hand up, "Well professor Divination means something different to each person. To me Divination is learning things about yourself that you didn't know existed. By means of tarot cards or crystal balls one can discover their true identity without having to go so far as to actually doing something dumb." he replied, a smirk on his face slightly. He honestly wasn't sure the true answer but his was pretty god he thought nodding slightly.
Now where was his sugar quill?

Iris raised her hand, "Eh... To me, Divination means guess work... Clever guess work, though. It takes a lot to be good at Divination. You've got to believe that the mediums you use to make your interpretations and preditions are, like... True." This was something Iris just couldn't make herself believe in. "If you don't believe that you can make a predition or interpret the future through Divination, then you can't possibly be able to understand the subject at all." Again, like Iris. It was all just waffle to her. Still, she tried.

Abby cocked her head. Types of Divination? Weren't there, like, a million-gazillion? She raised her hand again. "Professor, Palmistry is one type. It's the interpretation of the lines on your hand," she said, pointing to her palm that was waving in the air. But he probably already knew that. He was the Divination professor after all. Haha.

So there was definitely a theme going on with Oliver today - one form of Divination he'd just read about in his textbook. He raised his hand again. "Moleosophy" He subconsiously gestured at Nancy. "Divination that studies the size, shape, colour and placement of moles to foretell a person's life in general." Like, how weird was that? ..and also a little gross.

"Sir don't Centuar's have a certain type of Divination?" The hufflepuff asked as she raised her hand. "I've heard they burn safe and mallowsweet, and then look for shapes in the fumes....but I don't think humans are as good as the centuars at this specific type of divination."

"Cartomacy is a form of Divination Professor It's where you study tarot cards." Rasa raised her hand and stretched a bit. At least she sort of knew this kind of stuff. Then again she was a sixth year and Divination had always been a sort of interest of hers.

Are palmistry and oculomancy some types of divination Professor? She wasn't sure if they were, but they sounded like types of divination to her.

Oh and there was that other one he'd been thinking about before class began. The very same one some Huffie kid just mentioned. He raised his hand again. "Haruspicy - that's fortelling stuff by examining the entrails of animals." Oh man.. Divination was one weird subject.

Eeeesh.
Destiny knew there were a lot of different types of Divination and the hard part was to choose just one to tell! She figured that little glare thing the Professor gave was meant for her..since she wanted to list at least five. Fine, she would stick with one. "Professor! There is Zoomancy. That is a type of Divination where people observe the behavior and appearance of animals."
Ha! She wondered if observing the Gryffindors would be considered Zoomancy.
The Gryffies were a bunch of animals.

Types of Divination ... Hmm. Iris rose her hand, "Erm... Well... Isn't using Runes a type of divination? Even though They've got their own subject?" Iris was sure Runes would be classed as a form of Divination; after all, you used them to find out about things to do with yourself in the future and stuff.
