Because of the light being so dim, her Galileo playing his part of showy bird distraction, and the overall unawareness of their surroundings a student usually has were working perfectly for Callie's plan. The blonde was hiding behind the arm chair at the front of the class so that no one could see her and ruin her lesson introduction. As she heard the students enter and complain about the heat she grinned mischeviously and placed her wand to her throat whispering, "Sonoros."
Suddenly a breeze went through the room, created by the professor to NOT make it cooler but to just blow out a few of the candles making it a tad darker than before. Creeeeeeeeepy. Now Elwood's voice floated into the classroom. "Dreeaaamss! They become your reality when you go to sleep." she started, still behind her chair. "You can fly, you can walk on water, faires live among you," with that a sparkling of pink dust and light appeared to fall from the ceiling, "and dragons breath fire as you ride them." A huge flame tore across the ceiling and extinguished as it hit the far wall. Yes, she had been practicing that for weeks.
She undid the voice raising spell and spoke in her normal voice again. "Dreams." Professor Elwood popped up from behind her chair wishing she had her banshee costume from last term and grinned with a little pose to show how she suprised them. "They are also the window to the future in some cases. It's good to see you all here this afternoon and I am happy to see plenty of familiar faces." She winked and nodded at Kurumi, Loiusa, Sierra, Jory, the fainting girl from the Oghamn stave lesson, and others--a good batch of kids.
She needed to go on. The woman used her wand to light a few more candles returning the light to the original dimness as before she blew them out and sat down in her armchair. "What do you all know about dream Divination?" OCC: The lesson has officially started. No more posting your character arriving late or points will be taken; just pretend you've been here since the beginning.  Eliza was still trying to adjust to the nauseating heat when a voice took hold of the room. Dreams? She thought Divination was all to do with tea and crystal balls - things she didn’t put much stock in, mind you. Being a Ravenclaw, she had a hard time believing your personal biases would somehow not cloud your ability to see shapes and visions objectively. Dreams however were another matter. They were something you couldn’t manipulate to your own agenda. They just… happened, and sometimes you were lucky enough to remember them. Well, in her case, most of the time.
She admired the sparkles and fireballs and thought the professor must’ve really enjoyed theatrics. I wonder if there’s a theatre club at Hogwarts… Just then a figure jumped out at the front of the room, blonde hair flying from the momentum. “Jeepers!” she cried out. Seeing it was only the professor, Eliza relaxed again. Or rather, tried to relax. Is it always this hot in here? she wondered. She was beginning to think the reason for the heat was to cause hallucinations -- from heat stroke.
This being the first year's one and only Divination lesson, she didn’t know much about dream Divination. She raised her hand and made her best guess. “I’m assuming it has to do with trying to interpret our dreams? Sometimes they must just be silly nothingness, but other times they could be trying to tell us something.”
She pulled at the neck of her sweater. Merlin! I know it’s a chilly autumn, but this heating is overkill. She twister her pale auburn hair to the side, hoping to cool her neck some. Wait... she thought, Can Professor Elwood read my mind? She hoped not. She wasn't always as pure of thought as she was of tongue. I guess if I hear her in my head, I'll have my answer. ...Er, well if she can read minds and talk to them that is. |
