Cassie couldn’t help all the happy snaps that the students were getting. She was so excited for all their wonderful tries and answers. It was great to hear them really think about what they were doing.

Jasmine looked at the picture that was being discussed. Clearly it was an animal footprint, but that much had already been determined by multiple classmates. What they would be using it for, Jasmine had no idea. It was true that the animals were beginning to behave strangely. Who could blame them? The freezing cold would make anyone act a little odd.

When Jasmine looked at the third poster, she tried to interpret the raccoon's tracks. Comparing the tracks to the information in her book, Jasmine came up with an answer. Raising her hand, she said, "The tracks seem to be farther apart and the front of the print seems thicker". "I think the animal was running away from something. He was probably frightened. The question is, what was he trying to get away from."

“Hmm interesting, nice thought process, but if you see here it looks as though these are a bit closer together.” She pointed towards the two paws. “I would certainly say that this paw has the front more dominate in the print, so very good.” Jasmine got a big smile and snaps for her explanation. “Very good questioning, if it was running, why was it running. We will get to that more in a moment.”

He grabbed another cookie, took a bite and began to study the prints. His eyes flicked repeatedly to the book and then to the footprints as he tried to figure out what the prints were saying. Finally he raised his hand. "Professor, I think it's the saying the animal was out hunting.'' The Hufflepuff lowered his hand as he took another bite of his cookie

Her greens eyes moved to, ummm.. Ayden? No that wasn’t it, umm… “Yes.. yes very good Alex, he might have been hunting. What could give you that idea though in this print?” She was certainly trying to get him to think further into his reasoning. Explain a little more even, but his answer got him happy snaps, because he did come up with the hunting on his own.

With EVEN MORE COOKIES! YES!

This time, he properly swallowed his cookie before making another attempt at answer. "I agree with the running," he said nodding towards the Ravenclaw (Jasmine) "Maybe he was running away from some bigger creature... Or in desperate search of a warm fire place or something."Do raccoons even know what fire is?

Oh another one that said running, of yes, she loved the thoughts of all the students. “If this creature was indeed running, then you are very much right, it could have been running from a bigger creature, or if outside right now a warmer place. If someone had a fire going it might go near, but usually if humans are around raccoons stay away.” She would hope no fires were left unattended. None the less snaps for Zander!!

Looking carefully at the poster, Lux raised her hand so that she could guess at an answer. "I think that something scared the raccoon away. Probably the same thing that is making the Unicorns and Centaurs leave the forest."

Lex was getting some snaps too. Yes she had been quiet, but her answer was very interesting. “We don’t know if they are being scared out of the forest though. With this winter they could just be trying to find warmth. The cold that is making it snow like crazy and freeze everything, is also harming their way of life. Food, shelter, all areas of where they live. So they might be scare, but they might just be looking for food or a warmer place. That’s why I want to study their tracks a bit to see what we can find out.” The chatter and anxiety is what she was really trying to find more on.

The Hufflepuff listened to older students give their thoughts before squinting at the poster and saying, "I don't know, I think the back of the print seems thicker." she looked down at the page again before continuing, "It seems like the animal is making quick stops to either find something or go in a different direction." she read. Maybe she was going blind, seeing different stuff from others.

Oh.. this one, the young girl, had a different thought about the prints, “Very good, and very interesting. Yes, I could see where you say the back is thicker. Maybe if that is true this creature was stopping, confused maybe?” Wasn’t this just so exciting? She couldn’t wait to get them all out and looking for the tracks. Snap.. Snap.. Happy Snaps for the young girl.

[quote=Cris] ooking at the poster with the paw print of the racoon, Cris studied it. Then books came flying out of a cabinet, with one landing right in front of him. Pretty nifty trick that wone was, Cris thought to himself as he turned to read what was written on the page that had flipped open.

Then he studied the paw print again, before raising his hand.

"Professor, both prints are close together. I can see that the back of the front paw is thicker, while the rest of the prints are evenly spaced out. It looks like the raccoon has paused in its tracks, to look around before continuing on his journey".

Cris frowned as he looked at the paw print again, before continuing, "Professor from the way it is leaning back, putting more weight on that front paw, it looks like the raccoon is pretty relaxed. If it was leaning more to the front, that could mean that it is poised to run at any moment."

....well at least that's what it looked like to him.[/spoiler]
“Excellent.. excellent” Cristoffer got snaps as well, “Very good thoughts, yes, I could see where you see the two different paws and it could have been a pause in it’s tracks. Very interesting indeed.” She was staring at the poster now really looking at it with her own thoughts. “You are right if it was ready to run you could see more to the front.”

She grabbed another cookie, she deserved one after reading and thinking so hard! Her eyes flicked over at the footprints and after staring and thinking and staring and thinking, she raised her hand ready to answer. "Professor, I think that the animal was just minding its own business." Not expecting for its prints to be used in a Divination Lesson! The Gryffindor put her hand down and took another cookie again she so deserved it she had answered the question.

Minding it’s own business, Cassie beamed at the first year and gave her happy snaps. “Wonderful thoughts, just wonderful. It could have been minding it’s own business. That’s a fantastic guess, but what in the print tells you this?” Her green eyes went back to the poster.

Was she a princess? Because she sure looked like one. "Oh, hello . . . Princess," He said, realizing that he hadn't said anything in a while, and waved at her. "Errr . . . sorry, I meant Jasmine." And he blushed all over again. Grrr.

With everyone being so nice to him, Damian could cry. He could. Really. Buuuut, he decided to be a bit less dramatic. Sooooo, he settled with a grin for Zander, profuse blushing for Leah, and the fellow Slytherin (Cutty) recieved a thoughtful expression, head-nodding, and, "Like manners. I have them." No cookies until Professor Morgan approved. Gotcha.

Class started, the first question was posed, and all Damian did the entire time was stare thoughtfully at the Professor. Every time he opened his mouth to contribute, someone else would give a much better, plausible answer. They were certainly not here to help Professor Morgan's search for her lost pet, like he initially thought upon seeing the footprints. Paw prints? Footprints? Never mind.

Moving on to the next set of questions, Damian delved deeper into his thinky thoughts. Ooooh. Okay. From what he could gather from the book, the prints were close together, and heavier on the back. "Umm. . . I think Mr. Raccoon was looking for stuff to hunt. . . searching and hunting?" Pleeeease, let him be right. Pleeeeeease.

Her fingers were going to be hurting after all the snaps she was giving with these fabtastic answers. Did she have great students to attend this meeting or what! The next first year to talk got snaps as well. Another hunter, well these kiddos were just doing so well. “Hunting could be a great answer, but what in the print tells you this?” It was time to get these students to elaborate more.

Another first year, this first year class was the brightest and most enthusiastic bunch, it was just lovely. “Great thoughts, yes, I could see where you are coming from. If it was suddenly stopped, what could have stopped it?” Things that could get their minds questioning.

The first year frowned when this professor said that she couldn't have a unicorn either. What was up with the dream crushing professors here? She WOULD get a Unicorn... bet that would come up in her future palm reading.

Oh look, AJ was getting credit for answering questions correctly. SCORE! She winked at her sister. This was nice. Maybe they should trade names more often. AJ turned her attention to the poster and decided that the prints were boring. "Looks like it's food crazed." Yup, she just knew that the animal was looking for food. That is exactly what her footsteps would look like so she knew!

Angel just realised that AJ was getting the credit for her answers, well okay as long as AJ didn't get detention as Angel because that would be so funny if it happened, who would be the one to turn up to the dentention. "I think maybe the animal was scared by something as the back footprint is a bit thicker than the front." Angel knew when she got scared more weight went on the back of her foot.

Hmmm her snaps stopped for a moment, but then she gave encouraging snaps to the girl, “What gives you those thoughts Angel? Can you tell me how the prints show food crazy?” She wasn’t saying the girl was wrong at all, but she did want to know more. Looking to her sister as she answered, Cassie smiled, “Another scared of something, interesting, very interesting. Nice eyes with the back thicker.”

There was no need to repeat what the others had said. Besides, he was far too busy trying to decide if these cookies were good or not.

Which they were. Jeez, how had he suspected these bad boys before?

As for the Professor Cassie's next question, the Slytherin was going to answer that. Uh huh. Sooooo, after some careful consideration, the boy put his cookie down and raised his hand in the air. "Maaaaaybe it was looking for something. Maybe something was going down and it got suspicious and it didn't WANT to be heard, which is why the footprints are heavy. Maybe it was moving slowly, too. The investigator of the raccoon world, this one might have been." Uh huh. He had this Divination thing down.

Giggles is what came with the snaps Grayson got, his answer was priceless in the Divination professors eyes. “Very creative, Nes, I mean Professor Glendower I think we have someone that would get along with the arts very well.” His answer was brilliant, so super creative. “I would love if this little guy was an investigator. Oh could you see it!” How adorbs would that be! “Very good thoughts about the thick prints. Wonderful!” This was just all so exciting.

Her eyes moved from the poster to the informational page the professor had provided. She read it over, trying to piece a few things together. She sloooowly raised her hand. "The front print is thicker in the back, and the back print is thicker in the front," she said. Ohh--opposites! "So I think the animal was running. Maybe it was doing like all the animals in the Forbidden Forest, because...the head centaur said they were all leaving for some reason."

She shrugged. Maybe they were going to do like the birds--head south for the winter. She was suddenly picturing a herd of centaur sunning on the beaches in a tropical climate. Heh.

Her green eyes moved to the young lady. She was very observant. “Yes.. yes.. exactly.” Her snaps were a bit more frantic with this one. “The prints are a bit different in that way. Good eyes, very good eyes. Your connection is very bright as well. It could be that they are leaving just as the other animals.” She hadn’t seen the birds in so long. That was so weird not to see the birds.

“All of you have such wonderful answers. Now there are two things you need to know about this print. The first thing is raccoons have different feet. Like us their front paws are shorter, look like hands almost and their back look like feet. So if you look at this print it is actually one of each. The front is actually the back paw if you see it’s longer print and the back is actually the front. So it seems the print was made as it was walking. As some of you said the first paw the front looks thicker, whereas the front looks more even. When the front was made it could be that it was just looking for something, but was startled and took off when the back was made. Raccoons will eat almost anything, making them okay hunters, but they aren’t ones to stalk food, like other bigger hunters. So while hunting could be something, it’s very unlikely. The second thing you need to know about this print is, it wasn’t here are Hogwarts. I have had this print for a few years now.” She beamed at the ones that related it to the Unicorns and the Centaurs leaving.

As she was turning back to the poster Cassie stopped a moment and shook her head. “Oh no you don’t you little rascal.” She giggled and turned her eyes on the other adult, “Professor could you please go over to the back cabinet in about a minute and retrieve Aries, seems he’s planning a scratching date with my furniture.” Looking back at the poster like that didn’t even happen, “Now let’s look at the unicorn print for a second. Since we will be moving this outside and you will be looking for some of our very own animal prints to help figure out our little mystery, I wanted to just talk a bit about it. Since the horse family has hooves and not paws the print weight will be a little different and actually easier to figure out. Why do you think that is?” She asked looking around, “and what can you tell me about this Unicorn Print?”
