Hogwarts RPG Name:
Eliza Neladara Dawnsel
Fifth Year |  Divination HW1 - Evening Reading
The snow rushing past the windows was a comforting sight paired with the warm glow of the dorm room. Eliza was all cuddled up in bed with her cup and saucer. She filled the cup with the water spell, “Aguamenti,” and stopped when it was almost full. “Fininte.”
Then she heated the water like Ethan had shown her. “Chaudensis,” she said while tracing the rim of the cup with her wand. She felt the cup warming in her hands and waited until she saw steam to add the tea leaves in. Thank goodness I thought to ask for some Oolong, she thought as she watched it steep.
She cleared her mind and reading to drink the tea. What am I thinking about? she wondered. Mostly a late night snack at the moment, maybe some ice cream actually, but that wasn’t a very interesting reading. Instead she let her mind drift to Christmas. Okay…will Christmas at home be better or would Christmas at Hogwarts? she wondered, and drank the tea through her teeth until there was not much left. The taste of this tea from home was soothing to her as she laid there in bed. It made her miss home a little bit, but she knew Christmas at Hogwarts could be really beautiful too. She was torn.
She flipped the cup over, then back, and checked for symbols. Right off the bat she saw a thing like looked like a candy cane in the middle. Then on the rim she saw a ribbon, and on the bottom she saw a leaf. These symbols were definitely being influenced by having holidays on the brain.
She looked up her symbols and did her best to discern their meanings.
