That was certainly an easy enough book to locate, or duplicate, for the lesson. "Of course, you'd need to think of a question, but I'd imagine we could try and see if it could be used as a bibliomantic resource..." Moving back to her table at the front of the room, she sat down again. "I think you have the basic idea, and I'd prefer it if nobody threw any books across the room. But either way, feel free to take one of the copies off my shelves and try bibliomancy out," she continued. "I don't necessarily expect everyone to be successful, but there's always the possibility." And she could think about a few things while they tried it out. well, if nobody had any more questions.


ooc: Okay, I'm leaving the lesson open for another couple of days. For you guys to RP trying to use Beedle the Bard as a resource for bibliomancy. Obviously, you don't have to actually try it, but I'd be interested if at least your characters did. Pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to locate lines from the stories... I'll keep checking in, and answer questions if need be, and the lesson will probably wrap up after I get back from work on Thursday night. ^.^

Penny removed her Tales of Beedle The Bard from her bag.... Then closed her eyes, thinking of a question to ask it... Deciding on whether or not she would be healthy and wealthy in her life...

Placing the book on its spine, she let it fall open, her eyes still closed, and let her finger rest on one of the open pages...
Opening her eyes again, she read the sentence and almost fell from her chair...

"Oh Professor, this is so weird, my finger landed on the sentence '"For instance... falling in love would adversely affect his comfort and security"'......It's weird because, my arithmany readings told me almost the same thing"

Penny felt a shiver run down her spine... the fact her finger picked that sentence was actually quite creepy...
