She joked and winked at Ethan before seeing the chocolate frogs, "Oh a chocolate frog, thanks Professor."
Ethan had watched Minerva as she walked into the classroom, giving her a smile as she approached.
"Just saving it for a pretty Hufflepuff girl I know," he said with a little grin directed at her.
"Glad she could join me."
The boy gave Eliza a little wave as she entered the classroom and greeted him. Then his eyes turned wide upon hearing a scream in the room. What.. was happening? Swiftly turning his head in the direction of the sound, he tried to understand what was going on. It was the candy?
SPOILER!!: Professor Elwood

So the classroom was rather full when the clock struck the time for the lesson to begin. Calista Elwood was very pleased with the amount of students in attendance and hoped that they would all stay on to tackle the subject throughout the term.
Continuing to sit right there cross-legged on the desk she addressed them all. "Welcome everyone to the first Divination Lesson of the term. I'm Professor Elwood for those of you who are new to Hogwarts or just Divination this term and I am excited to lead you all into the Beyond this year." She paused to allow that awesome and exciting journey prospect to sink in.
She wiggled after a second of quiet thinking after receiving an unexpected vibe but then spoke once more as if nothing had happened. "Right so I know we are all up here in the Divination Tower but I want today's lesson to be held outdoors since it is so nice on the Grounds." And she might get a glimpse of the Groundskeeper while out there The blonde had wanted them all to meet here for a few reasons, to get the role done correctly, make sure everyone knew where the classroom and her office were and to not give away the topic of the lesson before they even started. And no, torturing the kids by making them walk up all the stairs and then back down them to the Grounds was not one of the reasons she was starting here.
"So to begin, I would like you all to think of some forms of Divination we could be doing outside today and share them with the class. No answers are stupid answers." Elwood said cheerfully as she gestured fluidly to the windows. Taaaa-daaaa, OUTDOORS!
Still trying to make sense of how a piece of chocolate could elicit that sort of response, Ethan turned his slightly confused gaze back to Professor Elwood as she started class, beaming at her OWL remark. Outdoors.. Well, yes it was a nice day.. but they had just gotten here. As in walked up flights of stairs to be here. And now they would have to turn around and walk down the many flights of stairs to the grounds? He supposed that was where the chocolate frog came in. Definite bribery so no one would complain too much about that part. Well.. it would work for him..
And now it was time to guess the lesson. Ethan really hated when professors asked the students what they would be learning. Wasn't it part of their job to be telling them? The sixth year had half a mind to raise his hand and answer
Legilimency, since it seemed the professors wanted them to read their minds.. but it seemed to him that it would be something of a smart-alecky response and he wasn't about to disrespect the lovely Ms. Elwood.
Instead, the boy half-heartedly listened to the other guesses and thought for a moment about another form of Divination that someone hadn't already said and would most likely be done outside.
"Maybe a form of Capnomancy, Professor?" Ethan offered after raising his hand. Because if they burned anything, it probably wouldn't be done in the classroom. It would definitely be too smoky in here to read anything.
