"Hello there dear. I did have a good summer, thanks for asking." The blonde watched the Ravenclaw take a seat after giving her a quick smile.
The next student to enter the classroom was a boy,much older than a first year but he was not someone she recognized. Had he just not taken Divination until this term? "Good morning, how are--"
O__O What?
Calista was a tad taken aback by the 'lovely' comment; the boy knew she was an adult AND his Professor right? "Well, um thank you, but a simple good morning would probably be best." he cheeks were a bit red but she did smile politely at him.
It was a compliment regardless.
"Welcome back Miss Bishop, my summer was nice yes. I hope Tryouts are going alright?" The Divination Professor greeted the Quidditch Captain as she chose her seat.
"Hello Alexa." Callie didn't quite catch what the Gryffindor had said right after her initial greeting but it didn't seem like she was meant to really. The blonde smiled at her anyways and answered her last question. "I did, although it was spent trying to come up with some ideas for what to do with Divination on an even tighter budget than before. We will manage though."
"Hello there! I did, was you're summer nice?" Professor Elwood beamed brightly to the excited, young Gryffindor. It was nice to see enthusiasm from such younglings.
Oh if it wasn't the sleepy Ravenclaw. "Good day Mr. Barrington. Welcome back." She nodded politely as she watched him take a seat.
The next student to enter the room was a small, out-of-breath Hufflepuff who looked to be a first year. "Hello dear, welcome. And don't worry, you will get used to the stairs." She nodded. The Puffs weren't as well off as the Gryffindors or Ravenclaws but they still had a level up on the Slytherins on the distance from the Divination tower.
"Hi there!" Professor Elwood greeted the next Gryffindor to enter the classroom and watched her as she took a seat.
"Beezus, it's good to see you again too. Was you're summer nice?" Elwood greeted the girl fondly with her nickname, the one the Prefect had taken to writing on her homework assignments. She had always been a good Divination student in the past and it was nice to see her back after her OWL performance.
Callie recognized the next face too. "Welcome back Miss Carter-Hope." Elwood greeted the quiet Slytherin as she took her seat.
"I did, thank you Miss Eventide! Did your's treat you well?" The Divination Professor greeted the Ranveclaw brightly.
"Hello Mr. Odessa." Callie smiled politely at the young, tired Snake but quickly darted her eyes at the trapdoor behind him to see if his older sister was pulling up the rear. She hadn't graduated yet had she? It was possible.
"Hello Jory, it's good to see you too. Are you excited for this term?" She knew he probably was for the Divination lessons since he was such a good student in the subject, but she had no idea what he liked outside of this classroom.
"Hello Minerva! Welcome back!" She smiled brightly as the Hufflepuff first greeted her. "Yes my summer was nice but I did actually miss you all." So in a way she was ready to come back but vacation was vacation. Her return would have just been nicer had she not had to deal with cut-backs.
The new Ravenclaw male Prefect was the next to enter the class and Calista was happy that he came up to greet her. "Hello Ethan, the plant is doing excellently up here in the tower." He would have to stop by again soon to check on it for himself.
"Welcome back Miss Dawnsel." Calista smiled at the Ravenclaw as she entered the classroom and found herself a seat.
Marcus Branxton, the boy's mother was working so hard to try and make these cut-backs as painless as possible. Bless that woman, she couldn't say the same for all the members of the Board though.
Professor Professor? "Elwood." The blonde smiled brightly at the boy. "And good day to you too Mr. Branxton. Glad to see you've decided to continue with Divination this term."
"Hello Captain Fischer." Elwood greeted the Gryffindor as she quickly made her way to a seat.
"Welcome, and hello to you too." Professor Elwood grinned brightly at the new Slytherin.
"Hi there." Calista smiled at the Gyrffindor and watched as she took a seat. It was about time to start the lesson soon.
A rather chipper Ravenclaw was next to enter the class. "It is a nice day, isn't it? Good to see you again Miss Johanson."
"Hello, hello." The girl seemed pretty excited for the upcoming lesson and that was promising. Callie was glad to have young students ready to take the place of the avid, older students who will graduate one day soon.
"Good day Miss Llywelyn." Elwood greeted the young blonde girl. She had mentioned before that she was from a community well-learned in the Divining Arts so Callie was glad that the girl had signed up for SNAC this term, she may have some interesting things to add.
"Good day to you too. Welcome back." The Professor greeted the snake as she watched her take a seat.
"Hello dear, welcome." The girl was a new student and it was exciting that she had chosen Divination as one of her subjects for her first term.
"Hello Mr. Kinsley, let's not fall asleep now, deal?" She grinned at the young Snake. She understood the stress of a new term and all the classes but she really didn't want to have to call anyone out for sleeping during her lesson.
Was the girl in the right class?
Callie couldn't help but notice the confused look on the new Gryffindor's face as she entered the classroom and walked right past her and then thought about it before greeting her. "Hello dear, welcome." All smiles.
The next girl didn't seem confused, just shy. "Hello dear, welcome to Hogwarts." She was a new Ravenclaw, one of the ones she had noticed at the Sorting Ceremony.
"Hello there." Professor Elwood smiled politely at the Slytherin as he entered the classroom and took a seat.
"Hello Mr. Gunter. Congratulations on the Head Boy position." It was really an honor and the Hufflepuff should be proud. She was also glad that he had made the effort to attend today, the boy was not often gracing her lessons with his presence.
"I did Miss Hyde, thanks for asking." Professor Elwood watched the Hufflepuff take her seat.
"Welcome, welcome." Professor Elwood gladly greeted the new Ranveclaw and watched as she looked around the room, taking in her surroundings. Her classroom was definitely one of the more interesting and creative ones in the Castle, at least in her opinion.
Another new Prefect!
"Hello Miss Hudson, a see congratulations are also in order for you. I'm sure you will make Slytherin house proud." Professor Elwood nodded at the blonde as she took her seat.
And then the new Head Girl was next. "Head Girl Dixon. Glad to see that badge on the robes of someone with a head on their shoulders." Not that the last one didn't, it was just an expression, right? "Welcome back." The blonde smiled at her as she moved towards the trapdoor.
Now that the tables were filling up and the clock was about to strike the hour she had planned for the lesson to begin, it was time to close the trapdoor and get things started. The Professor stood up from her seat and flicked her wand at the door, slowly closing it.
"It looks like we are all here, so let's go ahead and begin. Welcome to Divination, and welcome back for those of you returning. I am excited to see many new faces and for those people, I should introduce myself. My name is Professor Elwood and I will be your guide on the amazing journey that is Divination." She clasped her hands together, setting her bangles off into their usual jingling fury.
Continuing. "For those of you who have taken my lessons before today will remember that I've tried my best to give you all a well-rounded view of the Noble Art, rather than the mainstream practices we all are acquainted with. Today, though I've decided that, although it can be considered mainstream, the activity we will be doing is one I've decided is something all good Diviners should have in their pockets." Not literally though because that could be disastrous and messy.
"So what can you all tell me about Tea Leaf Reading?" She grinned excitedly at the faces looking up at her. OOC: Please limit yourselves to one point or fact each. We don't want the whole task of tea leaf reading to be taught in each of your single posts, now do we?  Also the lesson has no begun so no more posting your students arriving or it may result in a POINTS LOSS. If you'd like to join in, just post as if you've been here the whole time! Tea Leaves Reading, she definitely read it somewhere in Dragongrass Library. The books that belongs to her Mother but only few things that Aphrodite knows about it that maybe useful, and she immediately raised her hand then said, "Professor, Reading Tea Leaves has some terms like Tasseography or Tasseomancy or Tassology which has the same meaning," ermm .. what else she remembers, oh! , "and each form that is displayed on this process also has a different meaning and symbols,"
she added, lowering her hand.
