Huh, the groundskeeper hadn't caught her glances at him. Well fine then, she'd just sit over here, warming herself. Also, it seemed Capnomancy, while a type of fire divination, wasn't what they would be talking about today. Pity, they could have utilized TWO lessons with one, by interpreting the smoke patterns and then transfiguring it to daggers.

Instead they were going to be talking about salt shapes on fire coals, which did sound as if there was more substance to it than the smoke interpretations, which only had two... maybe three.

First though, salt superstitions. She had one, which the Gryffindor Prefect kind of mentioned, and got a nod at ... "As Tenacius said, the salt throwing thing, I've heard of, is to counteract when you spill salt. It's been said that spilling salt is an evil and unlucky omen, so to counteract it, you're supposed to use your right hand to throw salt over your left shoulder." So specific, thinking about it. Like you couldn't use your left hand over your right shoulder, but right to left. And they made a big deal over crying over spilled milk; that didn't have any negative connotations, did it?
