Patrick was taken a back by the deduction of points as he was working on interpreting his salt in the fire. How was it possible to actually lose 150 points during one lesson. His heart raced at the thought of what if it was him who had done it. He was glad it wasn't. He turned his attention away afraid that he would get punished for rubberneckin'.
Quote:
Name: Patrick Dooley
Year: 4th
House: Slytherin
Symbol: Star
Meaning: stars mean optimism or new beginnings
Interpretation: My question was whether or not the quidditch team would win the house cup. While a star is by no means a hey you'll win, this does give me hope. It means that there is a chance that Slytherin could return to their former glory and have a chance at being competitive. It could also mean that Slytherin might have a chance at the House cup. However, all of these possible outcomes are signs of optimism for myself and my classmates at success and bright futures.
