Good he can have free reign to sit where he wanna, which is likely next to a window. Laurel knew that Prefect Salander was going to enter first and thus it came as no surprise when he greeted her and took her hand. Not letting go of the hand just yet she leaned forward and warned. "Hello Tenacious, you should leave your cruiser in the common room, the whomping willow will on your next meeting snatch it up, chew on it and then spit out the wood pieces. I don't want you to have to see Healer Reed for extracting wood splints from certain parts of your body." Releasing the prefects hand she watched him claim a table. Quote:

"Hello, professor!" She greeted with a rather cheerful smile, also giving her a hand, before taking a seat at one of the tables. "Hi Tenacius and Skylar." Etta smiled at her fellow classmates before her gaze turned curiously towards all the mirrors set on the table. Hmm. Interesting. She picked one in random as instructed and waited for class to begin. Etta followed shortly after Tenacious. At least the prefect's were in good representation now. Returning Ms Kramer's cheerful smile Laurel returned it as she took the girl's hand sharing what she saw in her future. "Hello Etta oh no, I hope you like spiders? Because tomorrow morning you'll wake up in your dorm with hundreds of spiders crawling on top of your bedspread courtesy of a prank...................." Releasing the girl's hand she observed where Etta chose to sit. Quote:

She selecting a rather ornate looking mirror just big enough to reflect her face. It was pretty, she thought. Something her mama might have. Now to find out what she'd be using it for... The brunette snakette that entered next got a warm beam in response as their hands met. "Hello Junia," eyes widening as she saw something in the girl's future Laurel warned. "Don't braid your hair at the next meal someone will when you aren't looking charm you hair to grow as long as Rapunzels in the muggle fairytale." Quote:

No real way of telling she supposed, which was what made this subject so........headache inducing.
It was like grasping at straws or trying to find logic in the scribbles of her baby niece--very very very difficult. "Hello Professor." "Hello Jessa," Professor Vance greeted the eaglet with a smile and when their hands connected she asked. "Do you have an older sibling that work for the Ministry? You should write to her. I see danger." Quote:

Bounding into the classroom, still needing to take a moment to adjust to the STRONG smells to the classroom, Derf GRINNED and immediately rushed over to the professor to greet her. Extended hand? CLEARLY that was grounds for a high five! Which he gave just as eagerly as his bounding towards her implied. "Hello, Profes-s-ssor Vance," he chirped before moving on to find himself a seat. Derfael sure knew how to make an entrance as he practically bounded into the classroom and seconds later had rushed up to greet her. Grinning back at because how could she not Laurel said when they high fived. "Hi Derfael, I love the magical 8 ball i got last term. Oh and watch your newt Scamander closely he will eat something he really shouldn't and vomit it up all over your trunk on friday." Quote:

"Hello Professor Vance, how are you?" The Gothic prefect greeted her favorite Divnation teacher, taking her offered hand with a small smile. Then she made her way over to the tables, basking in the strangely pleasant scent in the air. Kitty was sporting her gothic look as usual when she entered the classroom. Lingering over the prefect's hand she said "Hello Kitty. I'm lovely thank you. How are you?" She was about to let go of the prefect's hand when she said "When you sit down in your chosen armchair in here in just a few moments its going to break under you and make you tumble to the floor. When you've made sure that you're uninjured then please put the chair away against the wall and chose another one." Laurel instructed before letting go of Kitty's hand. Quote:

As she entered the room, Shay was ready. She wondered what they would be studying today. Spotting the professor, she extended her hand and offered an enthusiastic greeting. "Hello Professor Vance", she said brightly. Then Shay had to decide where she wanted to sit. Join some of the other students or sit at an empty table? That was the question. That was the spirit Laurel thought to herself as Shay of Gryffindor greeted her with enthusiasm for the lesson. "Hello Shay," she greeted in turn brightly. "I love your big curly hair Shay. Have you comb it today? It doesn't itch i hope? You know curly hairs are perfect places for worms, lice and moths even to live in." Sadly it was true, but Professor Marchand made sure the Gryffindor dorms didn't have any unwanted inhabitants of the creature species right? She released Shays hand and watched the girl ponder where to sit. Quote:

Regardless, Sam greeted the Professor between sneezes, and absent-mindedly took the Professor's hand as she passed, mistakenly thinking a tissue was being offered. Realising her error, she removed it awkwardly and shoved it in her robe pocket. "Sorreh, Professor. A mirror, you said?" A series of sneezes warned Laurel of the entrance of Sam of Ravenclaw. Unfortunatley for her the girl hadn't wiped her nose with a tissue but her hand which Prof. Vance got to feel when their hands met. Icky! "Apology accepted Samantha," she said pulling out a clean tissue from her robes and offering it to the girl. "Yes, when you've chosen a seat you'll need to select a mirror you'll need one for later on in the lesson. And dear be careful next time you sneeze too hard or you will blow out a tooth or worse gush out a fountain of blood from your nose. My great grandfather did that. It was not a pretty sight i tell you. He had to spend 3 days at St Mungos." With that said she released the girl's hand. Quote:

She liked climbing, and exploring, and anything that piqued her curiosity. And Divination definitely did that, even if it wasn’t anywhere near Care of Magical Creatures in her internal list of favorite subjects. It could have been, but creatures were more important. “Hi Professor Vance,” the small blonde had said with a grin, passing her and offering a hand almost absently even as she had listened to the instructions. Anastasiya graced the Divination Classroom with her 11 year old youth and grining face upon entrance. "Hello Anastasiya," Laurel greeted. "Do you mayhaps visit the barn and pastures out on the grounds regularly? You don't do that alone do you? I see great danger there. Do not go near the hippogriff or you'll get kicked badly." It was not a grim prediction, but it was close. Quote:

A girl she recognized from the Welcome Feast as Shay...... Oh, okay... Breathing through her disappointment (and slight jealousy), Liv made her way towards Chloe; pausing only to shake Professor Vance's hand (because manners). Sigh. Everything was so strange these days, and if there was one thing Olivia Lynn Phillips hated, it was uncertainty and the unknown. "Hello Olivia," Laurel greeted the lioness with a cheerful smile. It was nice to see that so many of the students had good manners to shake her hand upon entering. "Oh dear I'm so sorry for your beautiful face. Someone who is jealous of you will later this week slip a fungiface potion into your feast goblet that will cause your face to break out in fungi spots." That was what she had seen. If it came true was another story. Releasing Olivia's hand Laurel turned to greet the next student. SPOILER!!: Individual replies: greetings Quote:

"Hey Tenacius" She greeted. Hope he didn't mind or wasn't saving these seats for someone else; besides, she never really sat with him too often. "Hello Skylar," Professor Vance greeted cheerily as the snakette entered and passed by her to find herself a seat. Was hand shaking scary or just too formal? Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir Barely noticing the actual teacher lady, Abey rushed through his greeting of "HiProfessorhowareyou," before hurrying into the classroom to find the comfiest seat. He definitely absolutely actually tested a few - dropping heavily into them and testing their squishiness by bouncing lightly in them - before settling on one that was a lovely deep indigo. He was SO READY.
Ooh, mirrors. The lion that rushed in and rushed through his greeting so fast that Laurel barely managed to acknowledge what he had said to her. Smiling sunnily after him nevertheless she called out. "Hi Abraham, I'm feeling quite splendid, thank you for asking. How are you?" Had he gotten over the monster ordeal? Quote:
Originally Posted by Shanners If there was something that could cause the slightest bit of worry, then Rooney was thinking about it today. And had been yesterday and the day before that. This was looking to be just one of those weeks.
As he entered the Divination classroom, Rooney managed to smile at the Professor before heading to take a seat at a table. He'd collected a mirror that looked worn and uncared for, something that mirrored how he felt right now. Rooney Bronwyn entered some moments later looking quite troubled to Laurel's keen eye. Hopefully her planned lesson would take the mind off whatever the Head Boy was thinking about. Flashing him a smile she greeted. "Hello Rooney." Quote:
Originally Posted by pundantic Chloe tried not to think too hard about Divination whenever she went. There was no rhyme or reason to the logic behind prophesying, really. She found you either had the gift or you did not.
And she did not.
So she didn't mind the temperature or the smell. It was all arbitrary.
She did however pick out a mirror and then a seat. Chloe did say hello to the professor on her way in but she didn't linger. Truthfully, she just wanted to get to the lesson part of the lesson. The next Eagle to enter wasn't in a bouncy happy mood either. Had Roderick given them all glum juice for lunch? Shrugging Laurel smiled kindly as the senior eaglet passed her. "Hello Chloe," After greeting each student and when it seemed like no more were coming in right now professor Vance headed over to stand in the center of the room, near her high chair to begin the lesson. Pulling out her wand from its holder she conjures up a blackboard as she greets the assembled students with a big smile pursing her lips and her good mood is evident in her tone too. "Welcome to another lesson in the wonderful art of Divination. I hope that you are all rested so that each and everyone of you can be in tune with your Inner Eyes today."
With the use of her wand Professor Vance then proceeds to write the word "MOLEOSOPHY" on the board in big letters. Pausing for a moment to let the word sink in and be registered by every student as she walks around amongst the student tables Professor Vance then asks "What do you think moleosophy is the study of? If you haven't heard of this branch of divination before then make the most logical and best guess from your point of view." OOC: Class has started! If you're just joining us welcome, welcome but please post as if you've been there all along unless you want to lose house points and irritate Professor Vance? Catch up posts are allowed throughout the lesson. The question is simple: what does your character think moleosophy is the study of?
The little greeting predictions were just for fun and if you want to use them for some fun outside of class rpies around the castle then go for it!  I'll move on around 6-7pm GMT+2 monday night, May 15th.
