Stirring and adding more spices she finally turned to the group. Looking around, yes many of them would do. Her hungry eyes stopped on the boy (Shanners) that had shot the spell at her. Her eyes weren't moving from him until another spoke to her. "You will see when the time is right dearie. The pot isn't done yet. Go sit, get comfortable." Her love potion helping her with her plan she knew she had to keep the students here.
"Your doom will come all of you. It is in the cards." She pulled them out of her rags to show the group. "You have seen these before haven't you?" She walked around eyeing them as she spoke. Stopping to sniff a child she dark eyes lifted to the squawking of her bird. She watched as it swooped down on something (Goblinfrog) that was behind the rock.
Moving closer to the rock she grabbed the girl hiding behind it. "You won't stay warm over there. You come and be right up front." Pulling the child towards the pot before letting her go at a rubbish bin just off to the side.

"I think... I think she's just trying to teach us something," he lied told them softly. "Like for Divination class." Actually he was hoping she'd do something that would get her fired, but---
Ariadne had sat down a few minutes before, but she still hadn't stopped squirming in place. THIS WAS A HAG. A hag! Ahem. She tried to remain calm, because most other people were, and she didn't want to look like a loser. What was in that pot, though?! Were any of the students usually in class missing? These were just examples of the thoughts running through Ariadne's mind. Hearing the hag speaking, Ariadne looked up and tried her hardest to listen. It was kind of hard seeing as Ariadne was afraid she might get EATEN any second now.
...and then Kitty, Ariadne's new Ravenclaw friend, got picked up by the Hag and pulled toward the pot. She was going to eaten now, wasn't she?! Ariadne jumped and covered her face with her hands. No matter what, she was NOT going to hide from the hag. The woman could and would find her, and when she did, it would not be pretty! It was only when Davie starting talking to her that Ariadne looked up again.
"Teach us something," Ariadne breathed.
"Right. Sorry." Teaching. She knew that. Then when Davie mentioned tarot cards, Ariadne looked up at the hag again, noticing the cards for the first time.
"Those are tarot cards," she repeated to the hag, agreeing with Davie.
