You are welcome to call me Professor Cassie.” She wasn’t her mother so it was fine to use her first name. Now to get down to business, picking up the snap cup she started to pull out the proud moments. “Anyone who doesn’t know the snap cup will soon learn to love it. I feel it’s a great way to start the class on a positive note. As I read everyone’s moments you will snap for the person.” Were they ready? “I'm a third year now.” She snapped for the person’s proud moment, “m proud I have made it to Seventh year without a detention, or losing points.” “I was really proud when I beat my older brother in a tree climbing contest” I ran a pet rock adoption fair with Professor Flamsteed at the start of term feast.” I’m super proud of being sorted into Gryffindor!” She snapped for each until she had read them all.
Leaning against her desk she grabbed a piece of cheese and took a bite, swallowing before speaking. “Divination can be a very complex subject. It has different parts to each form that we use. One part can be fun, light, and good. A reading about a person’s personality or their future. You’ve done in my past lessons ways to find things, know when a visitor is coming, and even how to match a sign, but there is another side to each form a darker side. We will usually only use the lighter side of things, but sometimes I do like to touch the darker side so you can be more aware of it.” She gave them her bubbly grin before getting up. “Before we get into all of that though, I must thank the ones that did read the notice on your house boards and wore comfy clothes. Your robes are just too much for this lesson. So if you did wear your robe, please take it off. Your uniform underneath will do.” She had noticed some had come in school robes, which she was fine with, but it would be easier in the end if they didn’t have them. “Now why don’t we have a little bit of fun before we begin?” She waved her wand and the music turned up just a bit louder. “Feel free to stand up and move around, dance, jump, anything that involves body movement. While you are doing that can anyone tell me anything that all the food and drinks have in common?”
What a happy upbeat tune that had come on, Cassie even bounced to the beat as she watched the students.
So sorry I didn't post earlier like I said I would. A street lamp in front of my house was on fire, so got distracted by fire trucks and neighbors thinking it was my house!
Rusty was content with water, since she didn't drink fizzy drinks or milk, so she sipped at her drink whilst Professor Cassie spoke. Ah so THAT'S what the snapcup was... it... was interesting? Rowan didn't see what clicking your fingers would do for anyone but she was ALL FOR anything that would make people happy, so she clicked along with the rest of the class as the professor spoke, and found herself grinning even bigger by the time they were done. Okay.. so it
did work. Cool. Rowan liked this teacher.
.... Darker side? Were they going to do that? Cause Rusty wasn't too sure she wanted to know about the darker side. She was all about light and happiness, and when people's readings turned out bleak back home she did all she could to cheer them up afterwards, because she
liked people being happy and things. She fiddled with the sleeve of her tie dye sweater as she thought about it... surely the professor wouldn't make them do anything
really dark, right? So it'd be okay.
And now they were
dancing?!!! Well that was one of Rusty's favourite things in the world to do! Especially because she had no hint of self consciousness about her, so she moved around, twirling and waving her arms and generally doing whatever she wanted, dance-wise, even if it did make her look a bit ridiculous. She didn't mind. She was having fun.
She wasn't sure exactly what all the food had in common, but she gave one of the older girls a funny look. Not enough protein? Rusty lived off a plant based diet, and she had enough protein, so it was
fine, it was just about which fruits and nuts and soy and things you ate.
"They're all vegetarian, professor?" Unless she had some of that sneaky cheese that wasn't... Rowan eyed the dairy suspiciously...
