Blink blink.

Okay. They had to use an augurey, which already had a supposed prediction method of its own with the whole rain thing, to give them answers to a yes or no question. Honestly, it was a bit like using a magic eight ball. How was the bird supposed to know? And what if it didn't eat any of the seed? Which was a huge possibility in his case, since he was towards the back of the Gryffindor line.

Ronan retrieved the plastic letters and some bird seed, then the bird and moved over to free area. He arranged the letters to read 'yes' and 'no', spread bird seed over them and began thinking of a question. He didn't want to go too personal, since there were people around to overhear. Finally, he thought of one that was really clever, or at least he thought so. "Romeo, is it going to rain tomorrow?" Get it? Because augureys' cries predict rain? Tee-hee.

Anyway, he watched as the bird sat there just looking at the piles of seed, not looking interested at all. Hmmmm, just as he thought. It was getting full. Oh, well. "Not hungry anymore, huh. Well, back to your cage you go." He collected the bird and the letters, choosing to leave the seed for any owls or other birds that may come through and returned them to their proper places.

How much longer did they have left in this lesson?
