She was ready to move on to another student when she saw Dylan flirting with Myrtle. Merlin's Beard that boy was always doing something, and with that Odessa girl not in attendance today apparently ghosts were his second choice.
There had been many guesses but the students were mostly answering correctly. Apart from the Myrtle outbursts things were going good so far. "Right so like many of you said the Rider-Waite Tarot deck has seventy-eight cards. They are split into three categories: the 22 Major Arcana, the 40 Minor Arcana, and the 12 Court Cards."
She paused for a minute for them to write this all down and to give Myrtle, Alexa, and Dylan a quick look before moving on. "Sometimes the Major Arcana cards are called 'Face cards' because they are the ones with the drawings rather than the numbers. Now I would like you to all remove your decks of Tarot cards from the boxes on your desks and pull out all of the Major Arcana cards. Once you've done this, open your textbooks to the chapter on Tarot Cards and then raise you hand to present what you find on one of them." Simple enough, right?
"So basically what I need you to do is pick one with a picture on it, like this one," the Divination professor said as she held the Fool card up for them all to see. "and then look it up in your book and present your findings to the class. Go ahead and get to work."
............Why was the Professor eyeing him like that? The Slytherin Captain was trying to do a service here. Apparently Myrtle had the hots for him...So, why not take advantage of that? It seemed like a good idea to him...
Clearing his throat, Dylan did as he was told, diverting his attention from the ghost and pulling out the boxed tarot cards. They were supposed to just pick one at random, right?...Others seemed to be hand-picking the card they wanted...but he didn't want to did it that way
Instead, he divided them in half, shuffled a few times...and then laid the top one down on the table.
Setting the remaining cards to the side, the Slytherin flipped through his book, looking for an explanation. It seemed like a great card...The name was fantastic, anyway...
Oh, here we go.
Raising his hand, Dylan smirked.
"I got The Emperor, ma'am. It says this card basically represents power, control, and authority. It's also supposed to be the male counter to The Empress card..." He continued to read...
"There's notes about the different aspects of the card in here, too...His beard, the ram, and then the staff...Each with their own meanings within the card." "The beard related to 'experience', the ram to 'determination', and the staff to 'balance'." Hmmmm. Dylan quite liked this card. It was like a perfect representation of himself...if he could be so bold to even think it...And he was, of course.
