SPOILER!!: SilverTiger
And apparently there was another older lady sitting in on this lesson too. So maybe it wasn’t just a thing testing Healer Reed and the librarian because they were new professors this term. It was interesting either way, and she’d sent the woman a curious look as she passed her. Plus, she waved at Emmeline already sitting on a mat with Kitty before she gave a smile to Professor Vance. “Good morning Professor Vance,” she said, before going over to the mat Kyle was seated at.

“Can I sit here?” She gave him a smile before dropping down onto the mat. Now she just had to wait to find out why they were here.


"Sure!" Kyle smiled and made sure there was plenty of room for her. Not that it was difficult for two second-years to fit on a mat.

SPOILER!!: Professor
SPOILER!!: Greetings



"Good morning Mr Kovalainen!" Laurel greeted with a sunny smile as the badger took a seat on one of the mats.



"Good morning Ms Blaze." Laurel greeted the badger with a kind smile. "The weather is definitely smiling on us today Miranda which is perfect for a our indoor/outdoor lesson."



3 for 3 students and just as many badgers as Etta joined the mat circle. "Good morning Prefect Kramer." Laurel greeted, flashing the girl a bright beam. "I'm feeling splendid today, how are you Etta?"



"Morning, Ms Cambridge." Laurel greeted with a smile pursing her lips. Good now she needed a lion and a snake to arrive to have all the houses represented in class.



Laurel waved and smiled at Kyle as the Slytherin boy took a seat on one of the empty blue mats. Nice he didn't care about house colours. He went for a personal favourite most likely.




"Good morning Ms Durant!" Laurel greeted with a return nod in the eagle fifth year's direction.



"Hello Ms Reynolds." Laurel greeted the sixth year badger with a smile when she came and chose a seat near the front. It was nice to see Scarlett in class again.



"Hello Ms Kemp!" Laurel greeted the bubbly first year badger with a kind smile. It was nice to see so much enthusiasm even at the early hour.



"Good morning Mr Dooley." Laurel greeted kindly. It was nice to see that the young snake looked like he was in high spirits and excited for class.



The woman she had been expecting arrived on time. Ms Raventhorne was there to observe her lesson as the scheduled audit from one of the Board of Governors. Straightening her stance slightly Laurel met the woman's gaze with a warm inviting smile. "Good morning Ma'am. Welcome to Divination class." She wasn't going to make any fuss or introduce the attending woman or her reason for being there to the students. Ms Raventhorne did her part and Laurel led her lesson.

Hearing Emmeline's happy voice call out a greeting Laurel let her eyes dart over the assembled students until her eyes landed on the lioness. "Hi Ms Sparkes."




Laurel returned the the sweet smile Skyler sported with one of her own. Maybe she should have more morning lessons just after breakfast. It seemed to put the students in good moods.



Returning Dahlia's smittening grin with one of her own Laurel greeted the badger. "Good morning Ms Marin!" Definitley positive class vibes!



Kitty arrived soon after Dahlia and was the first that looked like she was trying very hard to not seem like she was holding her nose against the animal smells. Smiling brightly over at the eagle Laurel greeted "Good morning Head Girl Valentine! I'm feeling cheerful and in high spirits. How are you today?"



Laurel waved in greeting to Mr Montmorency when he silently flopped down on one of the class mats. Too early to expect a greeting perhaps from the lion?



"Hello, Mr Carter." Laurel greeted with a kind smile as the lion boy chose one of the mats at the back of the class. Was that so that he didn't have to answer questions, did he focus better back there or was it because of the creature smells?



"Ms Diggory." Laurel greeted with a nod as the fifth year quickly found herself a seat. Skylar looked exhausted already and they were just in their second month. She made a mental note to speak to Skylar between two eyes later that day about her health.



Zoryn Spinnet was a character and the little Vision she claimed to have was quite amusing. However a vision she couldn't grant. Smiling warmly at the lioness Laurel responded trying to stop herself from giggling."Hi Ms Spinnet. Interesting vision my dear, but I'm not canceling class to let you all go back to sleep. Now where would the fun be for me in that? I want to teach you things."



"Hello Ms Holden." Laurel greeted with a beam as her eyes stopped on the lioness that she had recently run into by the slug pit. "My morning has so far been splendid i must say. How has your day been Olivia? Did you eat a good breakfast?"



"Good morning Ms McNally." Laurel greeted with a cheery smile as she took note of the eagle sixth years presence. She was one of the few that had noticed that they had a lady guest. Very perceptive of her.



"Good morning Ms Dalgaard-Volkova." Laurel greeted with a kind smile in the second year lioness's direction. The mats were filling up quite nicely.



"Good morning Ms Swann." Laurel greeted with a bright beam in the young badger girl's direction. She liked the curiousity she saw in the girl's eyes.



"Hello, Ms Kettleburn." Laurel cheerfully greeted the lioness as she stole a glance at her watch. Just a few more minute then she'd start class.



"Good morning Ms Morrison." Laurel greeted the senior lioness with a smile. It was interesting to see how at least the oldest students didn't just take a seat they took in the setting first.



"Good morning Prefect Fairfield." Laurel greeted, flashing her snake leader a bright smile. Now where was Oliver?



"Hello Prefect Salander!" Laurel greeted the lion prefect with a kind smile pursing her lips. Kids nowadays got quickly distracted and Tenacious was no different.



The last student to arrive got a cheerful greeting as she acknowledged his arrival. "Good day, Mr Ashburry-Hawthorne!" It was nice to see that the badger boy was there and excited to start.

With one last glance down at her watch and one over at Madam Raventhorne Laurel straightened up in her full length and cleared her throat as she spoke to the whole class. "Good morning everyone and welcome to another class in the art of divining our futures! Professor Wayland has very graciously loaned us the barn and adjacent pastures for our lesson today on a particular divination method."

Pausing to move forwards slightly Laurel gestured around them to the stalls and pens as she continued. "This huge barn is home to many magical creatures and creatures play an essential part in many divination methods/readings. Can each of you in turn raise your hands and mention ONE creature divination method that you've heard of or read about please?"

OOC: Class has started! Is so happy to see so many of you wanting to play in class with me. Feel free to jump in if you haven't already joined in! Just play as if you've been there the whole time.

Answer Laurel's question by having your student mention ONE creature divination method. Can be any methods that just use specific animal parts or a method where you study a creatures behaviour or both. All answers are welcome, even wrong ones. Try not to repeat answers if possible. Class will continue approx 24 hours from now @ 7 pm GMT+2 tuesday night.


Kyle frowned. He knew of using the bones and livers of the animals for divination, but he didn't know anything about animal behavior for divination. So, dead animals were apparently more his thing than live creatures. What could possibly be used? He thought about it a little longer. "Maybe observing a hippogriff, professor. They are highly intuitive and would probably act differently if certain circumstances arose. Like, if one got spooked, then something bad is going to happen."
