A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.
This... gastromancy sounded so... sketchy to Natalia. How would a dead person's stomach give any information of the future? Crystal balls, tarot cards, and stars even... they have some basis of belief (because Natalia personality thought that the predictions from these methods were rather accurate). But..listening to dead stomachs! Does that even work? Sketchy.
Oh Merlin, so they were actually trying to mimic the situation, huh? Authentic location, time, and story line! How interesting...if this was a theater class. "Well, I suppose since we're wizards, we always have some kind of spell to amplify sounds." Natalia tried to think of the actual spell that could magnify sounds. "Would sonorous work?' She already knew that the incantation would work on human voices but was uncertain whether it applied to...stomach noises.
What, did the professor just start...acting? Well, the acting was rather decent. To Natalia though, knowing that this was a performance aimed at personifying the situation, she couldn't help but let out a very quiet chuckle.
Natalia never had any obvious clairvoyant abilities. She would have absolutely no idea how she would interpret all the different gastric sounds. Frankly, if Natalia heard noises from the stomachs of the dead, she would be very, very scared. For this part of the question, Natalia remained silent as she had nothing useful to contribute to the class.
