Obviously oil would create looser symbols than tea leaves might, but indirectly it was all still similar. And she wanted to know their thoughts before she set out to let them try a bit of the former anyway.

Simon smiled at the Professor, well he was trying, but Divination was his worse subject and if it wasn't for Professor Bishop he wouldn't bother turning up at all, Simon decided to have a go with this question. "Well if I remember rightly tasseomancy uses cups, so I think yes I can because they are alike." Simon said then he looked shocked, he felt like fainting, where had that answer come from.
