She took a seat, somewhere in the middle of all the desks. She was too excited to realise Selena and her dorm buddy were there."Hello Professor" she said happily, with a smile.

It seemed she wasn't going to get much more written though. Oh well, class should start soon anyway.

Moving the discussion along, she looked out at the classroom as a whole yet again. "Now that we've gotten a basic idea of what Divination is, I'd like to see if anyone knows the answer to this. Ancient peoples generally separated Divination into at least two types. Each encompassing many forms within, but can anyone give me those classifications?" Or anything even close. She knew what she was after, but there was the possibility the texts gave slightly different information, not to mention she didn't know what all the students might have read beyond the textbook.

"Natural and artificial divination are the two basic classifications that have lasted since ancient times, and as was said, natural comes more from outside inspiration. Like the oracles Mr. Uronen was mentioning, prophecies, or Seers. I'd imagine there aren't too many people proficient in natural divination here, though, so let's focus on artificial divination for now. We've heard a few types of artificial divination already mentioned," she said, glancing at those who had suggested them in discussion. "But does anyone want to suggest any others?"
Selena smiled at Sammy who sat next to her and nodded back at the reply of the professor. Oooh, definitely nicer than Lafay. Yup, this was a nice teacher. She smiled at her, getting ready for whatever work she was supposed to do today, though she'd have to admit, the idea of work wasn't very appealing. But Divination was fun, because there was always a chance that you could be studying candy to determine your future or something of that sort.

She raised her hand for the next question and replied. "Well, another form of divination is apantomancy, having to do with animals," Selena offered.
