Pointing several feet away, Dylan also ripped the parchment out of his notebook for her to reference...After doing so, he started a new page, labeling it and such...

Divination Lesson One: Ichnomancy
Ichnomancy (from ichno- "track, footstep" + -mancy "method of divination") is the divination of a person's qualities (e.g., posture, position) or character (i.e., personality) by means of footprints or other such human-made tracks.
Reading the Prints

SPOILER!!: Footprint

Partnered with: Selina Skylar

Getting face level with the print, the Slytherin tried to image what she was thinking while making it...Surely that would help in his interpretation. Glancing over at her, he didn't think she looked particularly hungry...or sleepy...or grouchy...

When in doubt, make stuff up.

"So...I think your footprint says that you are a forceful person, since the whole thing looks deep. You must have stomped...instead of stepped." Beam! "...If I were to come across this print in a day to day setting..." Ahem, most likely he would. They were usually together these days..."I'd want to turn around and go another way...because I'd think the path ahead was dangerous."...Okay, so maybe he wouldn't turn away, really.

Dylan DID like danger. It was because of this odd liking that he figured he'd die at a young age...

"Also, I think what this says about you...is that you very straightforward and blunt."


Ah, okay... there was his footprint. Way to make it ALL the way over there, Dylan. The redhead could have kicked him, which she usually did anyway, but she would have done it for a reason BEYOND just for the fun of it. If they were going to work together then why in Merlin's bloody name was his footprint ALL the way over there. Idiot. Merlin, he did things sometimes that just was asking for a smacking. Dummy.

So collecting herself, she walked over to his foot print in a huff. Work. Walking ALL of seven feet. He was so rude sometimes, why couldn't he have just stepped over here... well, done his FOOTPRINT over here. Because technically he had just stepped beside her.

Looking down at his footprint though, she tried to analyze what his footprint meant. There was a much easier way for her to handle the whole future thing if he was curious, but then again, that defeated the point of the exercise. Yeah... and also, she wasn't sure that... um, nevermind. BACK TO THE FOOTPRINT.

Tilting her head to look at his footprint she yelled over to him, "Oi, Dylan? Did you have to dig your heel into the ground? A little angry no?" Or anxious. Heh. She could buy the second one. The redhead nearly thought her best friend was going to wet himself when the elder Odessa had him pinned to the ground to take his eyes. Yes, his eyes. Heh.

Listening to HIS interpretation of her footprint, she had to stop herself from sarcastically yelling out No, really, Captain obvious. The things that he had said were all things that he KNEW about her. But she kept that to herself, except for the whole turning around and running thing. Yeah, she rarely ran from anything. Not in her to do that... with the exception of a few things. VERY few things.

"Sounds realistic," Selina said about Dylan's response. Looking down at his own footprint, she said, "Your heel, as I said before, was totally dug into the ground. And I think that means that you're extremely anxious about something. You're pressing something deep down into yourself or technically the ground..." Was he hiding something? HUH? WAS HE? Eh, probably. They'd have to talk about that.

"Also," she added, "Your foot is nearly narrow toward the center, which could mean that you are heading down one specific, narrow path right now." That was dangerous, Dyl.
