Right, it was time to start with the main activity for the class. Vivian nodded as Professor Vance instructed them on what to do. Waiting for the fire to dwindle down into a coal bed would take some time, so Vivian took advantage of it and rewrote her notes while waiting in patience. She even got to neatly do it now, because her handwriting from her previous parchment looked like tangled up hair strands. It was just in perfect timing when she finally finished it, and saw that her fire had died down just enough to proceed to the next step.

With the first step done, Vivian hopped up and went to gather salt from the sack behind her Head of House. She gave the woman a smile before taking two handfuls of the salt and then tossing it onto her coal bed. She had to clear her mind in this part, too, which sounded like a really good idea. The blonde could really use a moment to just be quite and admire her snowy surroundings, despite the obvious red-nosed reindeer facade Vivian was holding. She literally had a red nose, just saying.

Still freeing her mind of all thoughts and emotions, Vivian kept her eyes on her coal bed. Once it had lost its life, the Slytherin peered down to examine any possible shapes from what was left of her gorgeous fire. Hmm.... It took the blonde a little long to find the first shape, which was an arrow facing north. Vivian looked at where it was pointed and saw... no one? She blinked and then looked back at her fire. "Are you kidding me?" There was... no one. In the north. Who was on her north, anyway?

Her eyes then caught another symbol just close to the arrow. Vivian squinted a bit and sort of made a conclusion that it looked like Harry Potter's glasses. Err... right. So eyeglasses? Yeah, she was sure that was on the textbook somewhere. The Slytherin took note of all of the symbols, and she was quite happy she only had two. Merlin knew her brain wouldn't have handled interpreting any more than just that.

Yeah... now moving on to the interpretation and predicting the future thing.
