Penny Laughgood == Hufflepuff
Janice Elizabeth == Hufflepuff

Jordan Kobe == Gryffindor

List of Ideas - check

Text Cut: List of Ideas

1.....Scrying with a map & crystal == would only give position of something (not the future, past or present)
2.....Using Astrology == charting past & present movements of planets & moons 'could' give indication of future
3.....Using Horoscope charts == Seeing into the future using star signs & their meanings
4.....Smoke == Not sure how this works (maybe visions of future?)
5.....burnt firewoods/Embers == divining the future by examining the burnt marks and shapes the flames make (?)
6.....Mirrors (steamed) == Seeing past lives or future events (?)
7.....Smooth Rocks == Used like a crystal ball (?), to read past, present & future
8.....Water (dark bowl) == Present and future reflections (?)
9.....Tea Leaves == predictions may be made from the shapes the dregs make
10....Dreams == Dream scrying is followed mainly by the Egyptians to foresee the future

Penny nervously rose from her seat and made her way up to the Professor...
"Ahem, Professor here is the list of ideas from my group - We're called 'Badgers & Lions'.."

Leaving the parchment on her desk, making her way back to the table, blushing a little....

As she waited for someone to speak up, it seemed Renée was meant to be surprised. She hadn’t really expected anyone to have taken that many notes, that they’d have something to give to her. Especially not the two that had come up to give her such, and she smiled at Penny and Zara. “Thank you,” she said to them, glancing over the notes to see where they might have crossed over, idea-wise. Seemed there were multiple points of discussion there, but that only told her they all had paid attention. “I’d like to argue that crystal balls and the like don’t have to actually be flawless. Scientific opinion states that the ‘images’ one might see are related to reading any flaws after all. And I can tell you as well that we won’t be discussing Egyptian dream-scrying in much detail today either,” she pointed out delicately. “But both your groups seem to have been really thinking about things. All of you were,” she continued, addressing the rest of the class as she finished her statement. She’d been listening after all.

As she then saw Nika energetically waving her hand around, she silently acknowledged the Gryffindor, along with the Ariana as the Ravenclaw’s hand was raised as well, then listened to their contribution. “Mmm, an interesting idea. I can’t say popular belief agrees, as most people believe it’s the scryer as opposed to the tool that determines the focus of the vision, but it’s something to look into,” she mused aloud, replying to them, before smiling a little at Ariana’s statement. “That, actually, is more along the idea of the psychic ability of telemetry. Getting visions relating to the owner upon touching an item. Not exactly divination, in the strictest sense,” she corrected gently. It was an interesting parallel, however. And when Simon decided to speak up yet again, she turned to the Hufflepuff boy with a smile, knowing there was no way she could predict what he might come up with. Beyond using her other abilities.

“Simon, I’d have to say both. Or neither, depending on your outlook. People who use scrying essentially could be considered exactly the same as those who can see the future. Although it could be argued scrying could access the past as well,” she replied, glancing at Selina again for a brief moment. Part of her had a feeling that Simon wouldn’t understand what she had said, and she knew for a fact he wouldn’t know he was possibly making some of his fellow students uncomfortable. Either way, it was a good time to keep things moving. “Anyway,” she continued, attention back on the class as a whole. “A lot of you seem to have thought at least a bit about the use of water in scrying, or in divination in general. Has anyone heard about something known as elaeomancy?” It was obscure, and there were multiple interpretations of the concept, but she had a feeling they might have fun with it. They’d had fun with the tea leaf readings last term, after all.

Text Cut: Zara's Parchment; First Page Danielle Zara Griffiths First Year – Gryffindor Lesson One - Reflection Crystal Balls Purposes ~ can be used in scrying ~ gives the diviner images of the future ~ used by Professor Trelawney as weapons (Battle of Hogwarts) ~ made from beryllium aluminum silicate (beryl) ~ new ones made of rock crystal or quartz ~ used in crystallomancy (branch of scrying) Scrying ~ method of using reflections and images to have insight to past, present, future Possible Stuff Used in Scrying ~ mirrors ~ water (bowl of water; glass of water; etc) ~ ink, blood, other dark liquids ~ anything w/ reflective surface ~ fire? smoke? ~ other crystals ~ metal spoon ~ clouds Pyromancy ~ form of scrying using flames and smoke Discussion ~ whatever medium used must be clear to avoid distraction and error in reading ~ have the crystal be free of imperfections ~ often, people use quartz not rose quartz for crystallomancy ~ have dark velvet/any dark cloth under the crystal & dim lighting (for a less distracting atmosphere=to see what mind’s eye is showing you) Possibility of scrying to interpret dreams=is it possible? ~ in Egypt – believed you could scry into dreams ~ oil lamp – old one with wick that falls into glass bulb filled with oil ~ need strip of linen and quil/pen and ink ten write name of god you want to scry on linen ~ don’t use wick with the lamp – twist the linen into wick and insert it in lamp Text Cut: Zara's Parchment; Next Page ~ place lamp on bedside table; use the same ink and draw image of god you want to communicate with on your left palm ~ then light lamp; kneel and say (as you concentrate on image at palm) “Thoth (god’s name) I invoke, blessed power of dreams divine, Angel of future fates, swift wings are thine, Great source of oracles to human kind, When stealing soft, and whispering to the mind, Through sleep’s sweet silence and the gloom of night, Thy power awake the sight, To silent souls the will of heaven relates, And silently reveals their future fates” ~ after invocation, concentrate on question and wrap hands around another black linen (4 inches wide by 30 inches long) ~ black linen (black eye of Isis, the Magic of Isis, or Black Isis) ~ blow out flame and clear mind then sleep ~ not supposed to eat for 4 hours before the ordeal=won’t work Scrying Using a Mirror ~ stay in a dark room and stand in front of a mirror or sit and use a hand mirror ~ relax and say prayer for spiritual enlightenment ~ hold flashlight or candle below face and look in the mirror and “unfocus” eyes ~ visualize light coming from us into mirror ~ soon you see your face become fluid in the reflection and might even seem unfamiliar ~ when you look to the side of the mirror, you see your spirit guide ~ pay attention to the insight offered by these images and allow them to share knowledge with you ~ once you see these clearly, they’d stay in your mind and become much clearer ~ ask yourself some questions in mind and keep open mind to solutions given during sessions ~ keep track of images you see during these scrying sessions and a full story would unfold to you ~ when this happens, you will reflect back and realize spiritual teaching of future events from scrying Quote: Originally Posted by Trish Penny looked up when Profesor Bishop had spoken and then back at her team..."I can bring it up if you want.."

She wasn't quite sure if her group was right or not, but she thought she'd bring it up anyways. Quote: Originally Posted by aaetha [b]Ariana nodded with what Nika said, then raised her hand and added her own ideas. "We also said that maybe if you used jewelry for scrying, your visions would apply to the person who owned or wore that jewelry, and also that the visions might be triggered by being in a place that something had or will happen." She looked over her notes as she said this, trying to incorporate most of what was there. Quote: Originally Posted by Harry174 "Professor which team do you think would win?"
