As Professor Vance replied to each and every question, Rhea made note of the names, animal or animals involved, and brief descriptions of each method of Divination. Because they were sat on these mats, she was forced to rest her parchment on the back of her textbook, which wasn't exactly convenient. She was probably being overly thorough with her notes, too, but oh well. It distracted her from the smells around her and kept her mind busy. Although.... every time animal poop or secretions were mentioned, it brought her attention back to the foul smell surrounding the class. Ew....

Rhea put down her quill once the questions became more infrequent and cracked her knuckles.

All too quickly, the Professor moved on and Rhea picked up her quill once again. She jotted down the topic of today's lesson and listened as Professor Vance explained what they were going to do. Ornithomancy.... They'd be studying birds' flight patterns? That was fine by her. The less poop involved, the better. The fifth year offered Skylar and Vivian a half-smile before standing up and retrieving a pair of omniculars from the chest in front of the Professor.

SPOILER!!: Rhea's notes
