Jackson moved the salt around in his hand for a moment before firmly grasping it. He listened as Professor Fletcher spoke and began steadying his breathing. He may not be a Seer, but he wasn’t going to sit (yay for sitting!) idly by and waste everyone’s time. Finding a question he wanted an answer to was more of a challenge. He wanted to think of something a little better than something he could ask an 8 Ball. Ten minutes was a long time for a big class like this to be quiet… Especially with the tension that had been building up between the professor and quite a handful of students.

He picked a spot in the flames and listened to the rest of the instructions. Happy enough with his spot, Jackson poured his bit of salt into the flame and stared. And stared. And… ow, OW. He began blinking hard as the fire crackled, the remnant of light still burned into his retinas. See? Why was this a trusted method?? He did his best to refocus his eyes quickly, and thought he did alright considering how much his eyes had gotten irritated. He saw the level of light flicker in the flame where he had put his salt, and he did everything he could to keep his concentration. Hmm… was that a shape? Uhh… well, with a slight tilt of the head this way it looked like… maybe that could be… like, a shoe? Was that a thing to see? Was that interpretable?! Like trying to recall a dream once he had woken, Jackson tried to get the shoe(?)’s details. Soon he couldn’t see a trace of it at all. Welp. He went back to his assigned seat, and began his notes.

Name: Jackson Thomas
House: Ravenclaw
Year: Fifth
Symbol Seen: (A sketch of a shoe looking a bit like traditional Converse brand shoes with long laces slightly curled dangle on each side).

Notes: In the flames, I saw a shoe with untied longer-than-average laces. It was hard to tell if it was supposed to be a brand new shoe or not, but it didn’t look like it was torn up or anything. The question I posed was about my future as a student leader, and how it will affect the rest of my time at Hogwarts. I’d like to think that the shoe represents me. Not complete garbage, and still useful to many. The long laces may represent my clumsiness, whether that be physically or mentally.
