"Now that we've discussed these methods, I'm curious if anyone thinks there might be others. I know of one, that isn't necessarily a true method of divination," It was more of a Muggle amusement, that could sort of fit with the time they were at, the month, as opposed to really divination. Although she had some of the necessities nearby if anyone wanted to play with it. She had some ideas related to possible homework assignments when it came to that question as well, but it could be part of the discussion. Not everyone was apt to offer their ideas in a group setting. "Feel free to give ideas as to what sort of practical activity we might be doing as well." Perhaps she'd cook one of Patroclus' hot dogs for Bowie while the discussion continued, or for herself to neutralize the sugar from the marshmallows.[/COLOR]

ooc: Be creative with your suggestions. This is all in good fun, and yes, might make the homework easier. I'm curious to see if anyone noticed the clues dropped, either.
Umm, no.

She didn't know of any others, and she really hadn't known the answers to the last two questions either. That had been why she'd just sat there, still observing the flames, as she listened to her classmates discuss.

She glared at Hollingberry out of the corner of her eye. Marshmallows? Seriously? ...had anyone ever even done that!? She thought about rolling her eyes, but upon seeing the professor nearby, thought better of it. She sighed softly. Kurumi's marshmallow answer was much better than what she'd thought of--which was, so far, nothing.

"What about divination using candles?" she finally asked. Had anyone suggested that yet? If they had, she hadn't heard them. It was answer, nonetheless.
