It had been a short while since the first Divination Lesson of the term but at least the students had had SNAC to keep their minds fresh on the Divination Art. The Professor had been busy planning this lesson for quite some time and was really excited to teach it.
The room looked the same as usual. Elwood was sitting at her desk waiting for the students to enter. Stack beside her on the wooden piece of furniture was a stack of glass slabs, some rollers, a bunch of rubber pieces roughly the size of the glass and a few, small boxes. Material for the day's activity no doubt--or just random stuff the eccentric blonde had dug out.
Come on in and take a seat, the lesson will begin shortly.
Yo Tobias had no idea what classical elements of the what and the where now was all about, in fact he wasn't entirely sure that he'd even read up on that stuff in his text book yet. There was just a lot of words and Tobias did NOT have the patience for it. But he figured he knew what Tarot cards were... some lady on the pier had once done a reading for him for free. The pictures were awesome!
Whilst everyone else got to answering, Tobias himself sneaked a peak at his text book to see if he could see anything in there that could give him some idea of what to say in response to a future question. Sometimes being little in a world of tall people had its advantages.

Tarot cards. Classical elements. Minor Arcana. All of these words made Tag's head go fuzzy. And, to be honest, he did not remember any of them or any information about them. So, rather than attempting a wild guess and embarrassing himself he just stared at all his classmates answering. His mouth slightly opened and his face scrunched up as he paid attention to everyone else.

Alice... didn't know the answer to this question.
Did they talk about this last term? Had they gone over this before? Because she didn't remember. Were they going to ask questions about elements on OWLs? She looked around and listened to other people answer first, and it kind of started making some more sense.
"I remembered, too, professor." She totally did. Clearly, it was before people had already said the answer.
Clearly.

They were beginning?! Well, finally...
Dylan had almost fallen asleep but since Professor Elwood was up and moving now...he was up. Yaaaaaaaawn.
What was the question? Hmm?
...
Yea. West had mentioned this in the first lesson. Dylan remembered because he'd given Odessa a look. Odessa had been...Odessa'ing people...
"Oh yea. I remember West mentioning this in the first lesson...." TROLL FACE. He flipped back in his notes and pointed at the section he'd jotted down due to his Chaser's brilliance. It was always smart to take notes on West. He knew things.
Also...why was everyone mentioning what the elements were...and what they went to? That hadn't been asked.

Kace remembered reading about it briefly but he didn't remember much. Maybe it was the part of doing quidditch all the time? Or possibly not getting enough sleep. He saw the insides of his eyelids more than the textbook. But he heard the other student's answers and he agreed with them.
He really had no idea what was going on in the class. But hey that was why he was here right? He stood there listening intently to all the older students and making notes in his notebook.
Taylor looked at the teacher then fiddled with her hair before raising her hand. "Something about each element has a piece of a suite or something, right?" Yeah, she hadnt been paying much attention lately...

Minerva was listening.. She really was, wasn't she? Her eyes might have been towards the front some what. She heard last term, she heard class, she heard cards...see listening. She was biting her lip and and bouncing her feet with anticipation. Was it anticipation for the lesson? One would hope so, but probably not, no her eyes were focused on one thing at the moment and it was that ice cream.
Oh and Daichi asked if the class could have some. PLEASE SAY YES... PLEEEEAAASEEE SAY YES!!! But Professor Elwood said a question, what was that question again. Without thinking she put her hand up. "Yeah.. yeah.. what everyone else said. That's it.. That's the right answers.. soo umm can we have that?" pointing to the ice cream, because she would most likely, probably, hopefully focus better once this was off her mind and in her belly..

Hmmm. Mo scuffed his shoes against the floor as he considered the question and tried NOT to think about Professor Pretty kissing Professor Airey-head at that party. It was like someone stabbing him repeatedly with a rusty cold spoon right in the ol' heart. Or no... no, it was just sad.
"Also, I remember West saying that some have drawn a correlation between the four suits, the four elements, and the four Hogwarts houses."

So they might get to have ice cream in class after all?! That was her not so secret wish and it might even come true! This day just kept getting better and better!
And she did remember the tarot card things, a little. But she wouldn't mention that it was only a little. Where had her notes gone to anyway...? She wasn't sure. But then Mo spoke up and some sort of bell went off in her head. "Oo, Professor, I remember that about them too. Yeah, the minor arcana have four suits, and four elements, and they match up with the four houses. Ravenclaw is air for example, so swords would be our suit." It was all coming back to her now. She knew the other houses too, but she decided to let Professor Elwood ask for more details if she really wanted them. For now, Eliza sat staring at Daichi's ice cream and wishing she'd brought her school bowl so that she could replicate it for everyone.

Good, at least someone had the good sense to stay away from the ice cream stuff. And before anyone asked, no she didn't want any either. Nope, nuh-uh.
Good, Professor Elwood was starting class. She had wonder, though, if some of her classmates had cotton stuffed in their ears. Because the question was if they remembered, right? Not for proof that they did. So, keep it simple, stupid. Which if Sky was being truthful, she didn't. Not that she would admit it out loud. "Yes," she lied. Hey, it wasn't like she was on the witness stand or in Vinteren's class so technically nothing could be done. If the professor found out she was lying, that was.

The professor didn't want the ice cream? Ronnie eyed the tub of ice cream on the desk. Could she have it, then? YUMM. It looked so good. She was so tempted to run up there and grab it and huddle in a corner and eat it. But class had started and...that would just be weird.
Sighing, Ronnie began to doodle a cartoon dragon in her open notebook, half listening to the professor as she spoke until a question was asked. She glanced up as people began raising hands and saying answers. She slowly closed her notebook and hoped the professor hadn't noticed. Uh.. Doodling? Who? Ronnie? Hahahahaha. Nooo. Don't be silly...
Right. The tarot card...thingys.
She raised her hand and cleared her throat. AHEM. "The cards are all divided into four suits, professor," she began with a small nod. "And all of them represent elements." she finished, not sure if that was it or not. Um. It sounded close to what everyone else was answering. She couldn't remember the exact elements and objects and whatnot, really...but...yeah. At least she half-answered the question. Better than nothing!
Oooh. The lesson had begun, which meant it was time to focus.
Quil in hand, the red head listened to the Professor. Final lesson last term....erm...yeah she didn't remember much. Mellow. Not good considering NEWTs were only getting closer. With a pout Renesmee attempted to refresh her memory, but nope...nothing came until the others spoke first, but still not much she remembered.
Maybe it was better she sat then?Yep..she'd answer the next one.

Divination.... easily not one of Lily's best subjects nor her favorite, even though she liked the professor.
Nonetheless, the fifth year was present in the lesson and was sorta paying attention. Was this question seriously referring to the previous term's lessons? Wouldn't that have made more sense for the first Divination lesson of this term? Lily thought as she doodled a bit on her parchment. It was those card thingies that did what again? Too bad she didn't remember anything, so Lily just sat quietly listening to her classmates answer.
Laura looked around, she wanted some ice-cream and she wanted everyone to have some but alas she didn't have any. "I'm sorry Professor, I have no idea what the answer is to the question." Laura sighed, she liked Divination and she was sad when she couldn't answer the question.
It was nice being in this class and Peyton had her mighty I'm-so-paying-attention face on. She remembered what Elwood was taking about so she nodded. Peyton also remembered her tarot card she made. Merlin it was so...cute. With the...yeah, and the...yeah.
Resting her chin on her palm, Peyton listened to what her classmates had to say. Though, the ice cream was the most interesting thing in class right now. In fact, her green-gray eyes were on it right now.

Mackenzie couldn't answer the professor's question she really didn't understand the tarot cards. So instead she listened to everyone else's answer and wrote down a few of their answers in her notes so that maybe she could get a better understanding. Hopefully the Professor would go over tarots again and she would understand this time.
Oooooookay. Professor Elwood was seeing a lot of blank stares after her question which told her that many of them didn't remember everything about the correlation of the suits of tarot cards and classical elements; or in some cases any of it.
SPOILER!!: Responses

"Professor? I believe each of the Minor Arcana cards is linked to an element so, for example, the cups represent the element of water."
Not a total loss though. Ella Bishop one of her SNAC members got it. "Yes, good job Miss Bishop. Off on a good foot." The blonde nodded at the Puff as she called on the next student.

Last term was a long time ago, and his memory was not all that good. Too many bludgers to the head clearly. But he did eventually think about it. Working out his answer in his head, he raised his hands. "The cards of the minor arcana are split into 4 suits...which in turn relate to the 4 elements. So for example the element of air corresponds to Swords."
A good Claw. "Yes, very good each element matches with an element." The boy was on the right track for the lesson.

Okay, focus Lex. Answer the question first. Ask about the ice-cream second. They were discussing Tarot Cards--oh hey, she remembered those!! She got to create her own! She remembered the story she made too! Good 'ole ant.
She stuck her hand in the air, waving around like she normally did and she didn't fall off her seat either. Impressive, huh?
"I remember! Each suit is associated with another element oh and they match to muggle suits too" She had to mention the last bit because it was something she'd read and well, everyone knew Lex didn't do that very often so it was being put out there. "But anyway, the elements. The wand matches to the element of fire, the coin goes with earth, cups go with water and the sword goes with the air element."
Calista didn't know anything about the suits and classical elements matching with actual suits and she gave the Gryffindor an odd look. "No, Alexa, they don't match up with suits but the element part you mentioned is correct." The kids were distracted more than usual today it seemed.

... OH! "Erm... Professor!" Hand!raise. "See, the Minor Arcana are split up into four suits and there are four elements and each of the suits match up with each of the elements, in a way," He was sure that that was right... "For example... Fire corresponds with Wands because... the Wands cards represent creativity and awakening and that's all the things that Fire represents too! And they're both considered to be magical..." Or... something.
"Yes, yes very good Mr. Summers." The Hufflepuffs were in the lead of remembering things from last term.

Though that didn't worry her, she wasn't that good at guessing anyway. So it'd be better if she waited. Also, Aidan-Lex's friend- already asked and didn't get an answer
And lesson started. It means they were closer to know.
Cassia took a couple of minutes to process the answer then she raised her hand and answered. "The minor Arcana contains 56 cards and they are divided to four suits, and each suit represents an element," That was just a recap,"The suits of Cups is related to Water," She knew that one by heart. Because cups..water, duh! "And suits of Swords is related to air," Aaaand she didn't really remember the others. So hopefully those would do.
"A good start, yes that's the kind of thing I was talking about." Professor Elwood smiled brightly at the Slytherin.

Not wanting to sound like a complete fool, he decided to chime in after a few of the other students responded, "that sounds right to me. Cups and water, wands and fire."
Oh...maybe not ALL the Hufflepuffs were on their game today. Callie nodded at the boy nonetheless.

Theo got out his quill, ready to write down any details that the other students said, but first, he raised his hand to say what he knew. "There are four suits," Yes, definitely four, hmmm... "And each represents something." Merlin knew what.
The Divination Professor nodded and looked at Theo with a helpful look, waiting for him to go on. He didn't so she decided to help him finish. "...that represent the classical elements?" She knew the boy was known for goofing off and being with Mr. Odessa but he had always tried hard in her lessons so he was good in her book.

"Professor?! Since you don't want the AMAZING FANTASTIC ice cream? Can i SHARE it with the class?" Cause sharing was happiness~! "I don't know how to conjure bowls though..." hmmm...
He sat down on one of the chairs and raised his hand in the air when the first question came up. "Wands have the element of f-f-fire" he stuttered the word fire, shivered and then continued. "Cups have the element of water . Sword air and...."
.....what was that last one again?
The Slytherin thought and thought. It was on the tip of his tongue! Fire, water, air oh! "I only remember the element earth.."
It would be really cool if an Avatar was in the room now huh?!
Siiiiiiigh. Blasted ice cream. "Will I have everyone's attention if I let you eat it?" She looked at Daichi and the other kids eye-balling the stuff. She flicked her wand which conjured bowls for everyone from the kitchens. They hovered to each table. "Everyone is free to eat the ice cream if they wish but don't fell pressured to. I just need everyone to pay attention for the rest of class please." Sweets weren't always good for you, especially in a room of pre-teens.
As for the Prefect's answer to her question, "That's a good start, yes. Good job."

Nigel just felt like leaving a vague question because he knew nothing about the minor one.Please you only pay attention to the Big Leagues. The Majors is so much better than the Minors.
Elwood looked at Nigel, was that a sarcastic question?
"What about it Mr. Barrington. You can go ahead and look that up in your textbook if you are curious about the Major Arcana."

Callie sighed quietly and looked at West, who was sitting there, looking at her innocently. He really hadn't done anything wrong it was just that he knew that's not what she meant.
"Alright Mr. Odessa." With that, the Slytherin should know that she's watching him and she let him have his fun, but it's time for Divination.

"Closer Mr. Montmorency but no Snitch." The mention of the thing that West brought up when they first learned about Tarot Cards was definitely on the right track, but the Snake hadn't mentioned what it was about that.

Was Minerva feeling alright? She would have to ask her after the lesson ended. She gestured to the bowl on the girl's desk and turned to the next person answering.

Another one word answer. Apparently she would have to be DEADLY specific if she wanted anything of substance from the kids today.

"Also, I remember West saying that some have drawn a correlation between the four suits, the four elements, and the four Hogwarts houses."
And there was SOMETHING she was wishing to hear, finally! "Excellent, Mr. Branxton here is on to what I was hinting at in my, apparently not specific enough question." She went to the board and wrote down the four suits and their corresponding elements.
"Like those of you who remembered from the last lesson on Tarot, for those of you who didn't please get this in your notes, we learned that each card suit matches with a classical element. Wands goes with Fire, Cups with Water, Pentacles/Coins are for Earth and Swords match with Wind. Why I praised Mr. Branxton's mention of an old answer of Mr. Odessa's, was because he mentioned that these suits aren't limited to match only one thing." She paused to let that sink in for a second. "So far we've seen that they can match with elements and even Hogwarts houses. Today we will learn about something else that they match with."
She raised her hand and held it out to show them. "Raise your hand about a foot from your face, palm side facing you and examine it. It's no doubt pretty different than those belonging to your classmates."
"Hand types also correspond to the suits of the Tarot Minor Arcana. "The air hand is characterized by having long, thin fingers, with a square palm. The Earth hand is usually characterized with a squarish palm, and short fingers deeply carved lines in it." She paused and then continued, hoping they were all writing this down. "The fire hand has a squarish palm which is usually longer in length than their short fingers. And last but not least the water hand. What are the characteristics of a water hand?" They could use the process of elimination to figure it out, their textbook or previous knowledge. She had faith in them.
Tobias perked up a bit as the prfoessor elaborated. Matching? With the houses? OOH WHICH ONE WAS HUFFLEPUFF?
He actually sat up a little straighter when she gave them an activity. Movement was always good. He held up his palm and kinda sorta guesstimated how far away a foot was and staaaaaaaaaaaaaaared at his hand.
Yep.
That was definitely his hand.
He listened to the explanation and tilted his head slightly, still examining his hand. HMMMMMMM. Which one was him?
Tobias, however, was completely lost with the question, so he went with his go-to method of just going with the flow. Raising the hand that had been in front of his face, Tobias gave his answer.
"A wet hand?"

Okay, so the professor had been looking for something more specific than 'yes'. Duly noted. And now they were being asked to examine their palms because, appearently, each suit not only matched an element, but a hand type named after an element. This was why Sky had never put much stock in divination. All this sounded rather ridiculous to her. So, when they were asked what a water hand looked like, she couldn't help but answer, "Wrinkly." Because that's what hands looked like when they've been in water too long.

Blink. Tag simply stared at the Professor as she described different hands. Slowly he held out his hand in front of him and examined it a few minutes before realizing she was asking a question.
The little lion took a wild guess. " Ummm square palm, long fingers and deep carved lines?" he said slowly as he continued to look at his hands. It was the best answer he could come up with. Soon he feared that his answer sounded a bit like what Professor Elwood had last described, in terms of hands.

She raised her hand and held it out to show them. "Raise your hand about a foot from your face, palm side facing you and examine it. It's no doubt pretty different than those belonging to your classmates."
"Hand types also correspond to the suits of the Tarot Minor Arcana. "The air hand is characterized by having long, thin fingers, with a square palm. The Earth hand is usually characterized with a squarish palm, and short fingers deeply carved lines in it." She paused and then continued, hoping they were all writing this down. "The fire hand has a squarish palm which is usually longer in length than their short fingers. And last but not least the water hand. What are the characteristics of a water hand?" They could use the process of elimination to figure it out, their textbook or previous knowledge. She had faith in them.[/color]
Alright. Awesome. West smiled. And y'know he didn't even need to elaborate on what he knew on account of Dylan and Mo had both done that for him. So obviously he got credit for that right? Educating other students? More smiles for the professor.
And now stuff about hands.
"Water hands have short sorta oval palms that are usually wider than they are long, their fingers are long and flexible and are equal to the height of the palm." He offered up, with HIS hand in the air. More detail in this answer because... well, the professor had actually asked for it. He thought it was right. Ish. Might've made some of it up.

Maybe he was being a bit sarcastic. But he would take her up on that offer and research the Major Arcana.
Nigel was just about to say the same thing as the first year hufflepuff. Who block most of his shots. A water hand would be a wet hand. Logic is Logic.
Another Logically assumption would be water. But he did not want to be Sarcastic Boy. So he would not answer. Plus West said it as perfect as he possibly could anyway. He took out his text book and looked up Major Arcana.
She did say he could, after all.

They were talking about hands--palms really and suits, she was getting all of this...sorta. Her eyes kept darting around the room as if she was expecting something epic or cold. If the Professor brought them ice-cream this lesson then she would forever love her. Like legit. Ice-cream was a deciding factor in these things.
She was asking about the last hand, the water element one, Kitty!Tobias' answer had her snickering and she tried listening to everyone else's as well.
Her hands began scribbling as she absentmindedly took down everything everyone was saying. When she heard the actual answer she would simply run a line through the ones that were obviously wrong.
Most of her attention fell on Daichi and that ice-cream of his. Wasn't he planning to share? She couldn't ask right now because the Professor was expecting answers to a question. It'd have been odd to be talking if she wasn't making an attempt at the question. The Gryffindor felt so torn.
Maybe she could scribble him a note? Ahem. But she was paying attention, she totally was.

Asher listened as the Professor told them about hands/palms. He stared at his, wondering if his fingers were sort or long, fat or thin, and if his palms contained any hidden messages.
Remembering that he was supposed to be answering a question, "Water hands, long fingers, oval palm, not many lines?"
Focusing back on his own, he decided that he had Earth hands.
