Perhaps the cold had frozen her brain and impared her thinking and speaking abilities. "Yes, arrows will be used and typically they tend to have some sort of feather or feather-like tail on the ends, yes."

The Gryffindor Prefect was much more informative and actually mentioned somde of the methods of Belomancy in her answer. "Very good Prefect Hollingberry. Yes those are some of the ways we practice it but today we will be doing it a slightly different way." Good answer though. Professor Elwood was glad to see that the girl had decided to take Divination as a NEWT student this term.

"That is correct Jory." Professor Elwood smiled warmly at the Hufflepuff boy. She was glad to see that the cold hadn't kept him away or from answering her promptly--a good boy.

Calista wasn't expecting the question of learning archery but it techincally did go with the topic and her question, sort of. "Beezus we actually will be doing some of that but not just for fun, there will be a diving purpose behind it." But who said that wouldn't be the fun part? hehe

"It has everything to do with arrows." Callie corrected the girl with a small smile. She was right of course but the blonde liked to have fun when she interacted with her students. The small snake must know she was joking.

"Yes very good." Professor Elwood nodded as she answered the snake with the raised hand. She was impressed so many of them knew the subject, even if just what the name meant.

Oooh extra background knowledge. "Good job. Yes Belomancy is the divination by arrows." The little Gryffindor hit the bullseye on that one. Pun intended.

"Very good Mr. Katheros." Despite forgetting his additional information the boy had been write in answering her question so she really couldn't and didn't expect more. She was just happy that she wasn't going to have to calm him down again this lesson for his fear of flames. Or at least she hoped so, this was Hogwarts after all.

Time for the next question and this time it was going to be more specified to their actual method of Belomancy. The Professor raised her hand to get their attention once again, since the outside winter wonderland surrounding them tended to distract little ones, and spoke sending her foggy breath out over their heads. "The type of Belomancy we are going to perform today involves actually shooting arrows like Miss Hollingberry mentioned but instead of shooting them to see the distance, we will be shooting at various targets related to our questions." That was the divining part but they would get to that later.

The Divination Professor whispered an incantation under her breath and about thirty bows and the same amount of quivers filled with arrows floated towards them from behing a frozen bush. The objects came to a stop by her feet. "So everyone please come and grab both a bow and a quiver of arrows. I will be showing you all how to properly shoot." Not everyone would know how obviously. She took a step back to allow them to pick up the things. "There are to be NO shots fired until I instruct you to do so, is that clear?" An accidental arrow through somebody wouldn't be the worst thing in the world or terribly hard for the Healer to fixed but that didn't mean it wouldn't be any less traumatic.

"Now when you get your equipment, please space out and be about 4 feet apart from your classmates." She grabbed her stuff while they moved and picked up her bow. "First we need to find the right way to hold the bow. You take the wooden part in one hand, preferably your non-wand hand and take your index and pointer fingers on your other hand to and touch it to your bow string. Stay in this position and I will walk around and correct you as needed."

Taylor went bright red at the strange look she had gotten from Elwood despite being told she was right. She glanced down quickly and grimaced, embarassed. Tay got the stuff and tuned out the professor a little since she already knew how to do archery and what not. Taylor spent a few years learning from her father. She easily and naturally went into position, waiting to shoot since the teacher told them not to.
