Zhenya's cracks were in the shell and there was blooooood in it, waiting to be read and interpreted. So, she had her name on there, Zhenya, and she had poured the blood in it and cracked it, so now it should tell her something about herself. She had a big, long look into the shell to see what was there, what directions the cracks were going in, how many there were.
She saw one crack going across, to the left, of where she hot pokered it. There was a crack going upwards in a zig zag, and there was a faint line going down, too. Zhenya wrote those down on some parchment, then looked toward the pictures Professor Cassie had, to make sure she had interpreted the cracks right. She seemed to have. Now she just needed to look them up in the textbook, cross reference, analyse, and see what life was doing to her.
Quote:
1. Crack towards the side: You will continue on the path you are on right now. You will maintain the mood and happenings that are in your life at this point.
2. Upwards zig zag crack: You will be faced with choice one will be a good choice the other will give you great complications.
3. Faint downward crack: You will be facing a situation that will involve negativity and sadness.
Zhenya put her elbow on the table and rested her head on her hand. Hmm... what did it mean? It was full of good bits and bad bits, really, wasn't it?
Well perhaps the sideways crack signified that she would keep going, like this, full of NEWT stress, studying as hard as she could, taking breaks regularly, sleeping, eating, attending class, homework, and the odd social interaction. It was just Seventh year woes, she knew, and perhaps that was the thing that she would continue. That was her current path. But then the crack went upwards, zig zagging. Well, she HAD to leave Hogwarts. Didn't have a choice. Perhaps the choice involved work or study for the following year. Perhaps it was to do with her family, or friends. Perhaps it would just be a choice in an exam, like a multiple choice question. Oh MERLIN, what if she chose the wrong answer? What if she failed because she chose a wrong answer, and a right answer. Would that be... like... 0 marks? Fail? Would she be able to repeat her exams? That would be a great complication!
OH SNAP OUT OF IT!
The third crack went downwards, and although it was faint, it still meant she could be facing a situation involving negativity and sadness. Well that was obvious, she didn't want to leave Hogwarts. It wasn't a choice, it was going to happen, and it was a situation that she would feel negative and sad about. Although also slightly positive about her next chapter, but still mostly negative and sad. So... so maybe if she felt negative and sad about leaving Hogwarts, it was because she had passed her exams and was sad about leaving her friends, the castle, the Professors etc. behind, OR was it because she had failed and had to come back?
