I also saw another formation that looked like a kite. When I checked the symbol with my textbook I found that a kite represented a wish being granted. Was my interpretation correct, Professor?"
Thereoes nodded to Alyssa "Yes your interpretation was correct. But remember that a symbol can mean more than just one thing. A kite for example can also mean a long voyage in the future which will lead to honor and dignity." These humans had good brains.

Averting his attention to the next badger he gave her a small smile "Yes that correct a horseshoe signifes a lucky journey and a tree with it can mean that fortune in the likes of say a proprty can be found along the journey as well as happiness." Professor Hadley should be proud of her little ones.

Sharing. Hmm. Not gonna happen.

Looking right into Kennedy's eyes, she shrugged one shoulder putting his saucer back on the table, "I don't really have anything to share." BUT considering that her interpretion for him was so... not happyish, she was willing to do that. Raising her hand, the girl straightened up, "My partner Kennedy," did that sound wrong? "Found a hammer for me and he told me that it means troublesome little tasks which I am reluctant to undertake.." Smiling subtly at him before turning her head back to the professor, "..and I think this task could be my OWLs next year." Anyone who knows Louisa would figure the pressure she was already going through for those.

There. She was done. Kennedy could go too if he needed to share his... kite and skull- She wouldn't but he was a Slythering, right? They did share bad stuff.
Troublesome tasks! Thereos nodded "Yes tests can be troublesome. There is also the possibility that the hammer can mean house chores you will need to preform during summer."

Thereos shook his head a bit then nodded "Yes kourtney can most definitley be in for a pleasant surprise this summer."

"Thank you all for coming to Divination this year It's been a pleasure to teach you all. This is all we've got time for today. Please clean your cups and saucer and put the tea leaves in the trash before you leave." Thereos said before he turned around to clean the blackboard by hand.
