Etta listened to the professor's instructions, making sure she didn't miss a word. So they basically had to make predictions using the fire.. interesting. Now, what was the first thing to do again? She patiently waited for the fire to dwindle down to just a hot coal bed.. which took a bit of time. She absently stared at other people starting with the activity, her gaze shifting to the dwindling fire every now and then. After what felt like a forever and a half, all she could see was the hot coal bed. Great. Now, moving on to the next step.

Tucking her wand in her a pocket, she grabbed a handful of salt with both of her hands and made her way back to her fire pit and as instructed, she threw it on top of the coals. She immediately took a couple of steps back as the flames suddenly burst into the air, making loud crackling noises. Woah. She waited for a couple of minutes before closing her eyes and taking a few breaths, trying to relax. She had a lot of things running through her mind lately. Her OWLs, classes, homework, the upcoming IMPS challenge.. but she threw them all completely out of her mind. Once she opened her eyes, Etta was thinking about absolutely nothing. She'd managed to ignore all her stress for once and focused on her upcoming activity.

By this time, the crackling had reduced considerably and the flames didn't seem to be that strong. She sat down, took another deep breath and stared at the fire. She had to figure out shapes, yeah? .. which seemed way more difficult than expected. She really couldn't make out anything at first. Wait, had she done something wrong? Had she not followed all the instructions properly? Just when she was about to give up, she could see something. What was that again? She squinted into the flames. Um. It looked like a leaf? Yes? She quickly jotted it down. Okay, what else? Frowning, she kept staring at the fire. Uh.. another shape.. she leaned forward slightly. An APPLE? How random. But before she could even remotely comprehend what that even meant, there was another shape. Woah, slow down. A dolphin? Etta blinked. Right, that was about it.. yes. Wait, no. There. Another shape was slowly forming. It looked like a jug. Huh. After referring to her textbook for a couple of minutes, she pulled out a parchment and started to write. The professor had mentioned only one prediction, yes?

SPOILER!!: parchment

The professor had mentioned only one prediction, yes? SPOILER!!: parchment Quote: The shapes that I saw and their interpretations : Leaf : It's a sign of satisfaction and making new friends. Apple : An apple is a sign of happiness and good health. Dolphin : A cheerful and optimistic character.. also a possibility of me taking a cruise in the near future? Jug : It's a sign of good health and money-making. From what I can understand from these interpretations, I don't have to worry about my health in the immediate future.. that is, the possibility of me getting hurt or sick is practically none. I'll be cheerful too since I'll most likely make new friends.. good friends, which is very exciting. __________________
