She tilted her ghost like head as Tom spoke and she tried to figure out what he meant by force. 'Well I'm not sure about that, but Divination does have it's own sort of senses so a force could be that."

Yeah, Fiona was unsure of herself as per normal. Well, it was normal as per the current circumstances.

[b]"Yes, that is one way. What Fiona is speaking about is the love indicator, so simple even muggles started picking it up. You take a flower and pick a petal at a time off thinking about the person you fancy. The last petal will give you the answer if they care for you too.

Incredibly hard? Try nearly impossible at times. This was exactly how Claudine felt about this situation. Why was it that Hogwarts was always so dramatic? While she did appreciate the Professor’s thoughts on them having fun, she wanted nothing more than for them to find a solution to getting this situation remedied. She wanted to be whole and proper again, with her memory intact. Surely this was also what everyone else wanted. Pittsburgh more than anyone else, perhaps.

With a small sigh, the third year retrieved the parchment from her bag and set it on the table before her, careful to not let it get in the way of the boys’ spaces. Next, she followed some students to choose the flowers but hung back until they had made their choices. When her turn came, she chose two roses, one daisy and one lily.

Coincidentally, Claudine was thinking along the same lines as Finella. She had seen a cousin(?) of hers do that pathetically once. Or was it twice? Anyway, Claudine would give her own answer. “We probably use the patterns or structure of the petals to help with interpretations.”

"Ah, very good. We will be looking at the flowers for patters or different markings to help us with today's lesson."

What DIDN'T make her sneeze then was the better question? Plus she'd been able to get a potion or something to help with seasonal allergies in the past. She eyed the bottles Carsyn was offering her but shook her head, not taking any of 'em in hand. "Thanks." But she didn't HAVE a cold, so she didn't NEED extra vitamin C. She usually got enough from the fruits at mealtimes.

Bernie instead quietly got up to go try to find one of the professor's potions in the back cabinet. "ACHOOOOOOOOO!" only letting out one sneeze on the way. It took a while to find the correct anti-allergy potion, what with her hand turning invisible and making her drop things half the time, but she finally grabbed a dusty old bottle and threw it back without further ado, returning to her seat then. She thought she should probably wash her hands but didn't want to miss more of the lesson, soooooooooo. Her seatmates would just have to put up with her sneezy self as she raised her snot-covered arm, got a look at the mess there, and then put that one down and instead raised her clean hand.

"Uhhh maybe you can move them around the room, try them in different places, see if you get different reactions. You know how there's a cold spot where a ghost sometimes is?" Muggles believed this, even, and Bernie had definitely felt Sir Nick's coldness before. "Well maybe there's different spots that affect the flowers and r-r-r----" Oh no, another sneeze was coming. She pinched her nose to keep the sneeze in, since the potion hadn't taken effect yet, but effectively lost her train of thought, as she finished it with a very nasally voice. "AnYwAy, there's different spots that affect how you can use the flowers.......?"

Er? Back to her original idea: couldn't they just move all the flowers AWAY from Bernie????!

Was she going to be alright? "Should you go see the healer?" If she couldn't find any potion in the back she might have to go see her and get something there. "Moving flowers around the room is a great answer as well." What dedication she had answering while sneezing.

So what were they talking about again? Oh, right. Floromancy… apparently Fantine (and a number of other people) had the right answer to the last question. He wasn’t surprised; he thought that’s probably what it was but didn’t see the need to repeat it.

Heath blinked at the professor’s words. He appreciated her understanding… or at least trying to understand, but she had no idea just how hard it was for him! Between worrying about their current situation and keeping up his unaffected facade, he had no attention left to pay to anything else. Dead, alive, or any state in between, he was still the grandson of Lionel Ryder (although he lacked any resemblance in looks or name), and the Ryder men were expected to act strong at all times, even in the face of… whatever was going on now.

Fighting to push those thoughts aside, Heath listened to Professor Kenobi’s instructions. Wait, they were supposed to bring parchment today? He’d totally forgotten, but luckily, he always kept a few spare pieces in his bag. He rummaged through his bag, and after finding a piece of parchment, he got up to pick his flowers. Did the professor say they all needed to be the same kind? He couldn’t remember, so he picked four different ones: a lily, daisy, iris, and hyacinth.

As he returned to his seat, Heath listened to his classmates’ answers. Some kid he couldn’t see (Tom) mentioned feeling the force of the plant, and while he knew it was probably wrong, he liked that answer. It sounded very Jedi! Then Fantine said something along the same lines of what he thought of for the last question. Hmm… maybe that was a real method of divination then. So what else could he say that wasn’t already said?

He thought for several minutes until a vague memory came to him. “Isn’t there some significance to the first flower of spring?” he said after raising his hand. “Something to do with the type of flower and the day of the week it’s found… I think?” That was as much as he could remember, and he wasn’t even sure if that much was correct!

"YES! Very good." She was excited when students got answers correctly, could they tell. She wanted to snap, but with her fingers going in and out of invisible she decided to not snap.

"There is a form that you place flowers in water, so you are on the right track. Very good." There were so many ways to use flowers she didn't think she had enough time to speak of them all.

"That I haven't used yet." She added, in case Bernie thought she was offering her a used one. Aboli also couldn't remember Bernie EVER SNEEZING IN HERBO, but whatever. She wasn't going to argue with a Gryffindor because it was pointless.

Onward, though. Aboli went to grab four flowers and returned to her spot to pull out some parchment before raising her hand. "Well, Professor, I know there's something about how the stems intertwine...and reading it certain ways. I can't remmber much. It's not a very explored realm of Divination," she sighed a bit, wishing she could remember more.

"Very good Aboli, yes there is a form that the stems are what is looked at." Many students today were very on top of their Divinations.

Professor Kitt.....Kittsomething had given them instructions on what to do next. Naya opened her backpack and took out her parchment. She put it on the table and then went to the front of the room to pick out her four pretty flowers.

Now it was question time again. This time, an answer came to Naya’s mind and she raised her hand to share it. “If you have a question you want answered, you can pick a petal off of your flower. Then depending on its characteristics, you can determine the answer to your question.” She thought. At least that is what Naya remembered. She wasn’t sure where she heard or read that, but she thought it was correct. Of course she had totally forgotten that Claudine had given virtually the same answer several minutes ago. Memory.

"Very good Naya, that is exactly the form we will be looking at today!" Bravo!

"As Naya said there is a form that uses the way a flower looks, Claudine also hinted around about the way the flower was. We will be working with this style today. This style of Floromancy is on the easier side of Divination, but still you need to know your flowers and what the petals mean. If you don't know then your answers will never be given." She reached over and grabbed a rose and showed it to all the students. "Take this simple rose for a second. As you look at the petals they are all different even if it is just a small little way." She pulled a few of the petals off the rose and showed the close. As she went to do it with the last one the flower slipped straight through her hand.

Sighing she picked it up and placed it on the desk. She didn't want the students to see her concern so she just smiled and carried on. "If I ask a question, such as..." she thought for a moment and then turned towards the flower, "Will there be peanut butter at dinner this evening?" She then pulled off a petal from the rose and looked at it. "The rose has four lines, which means hope and I will take that as a yes there will be peanut butter at dinner." She smiled at the class, it was pretty simple.

"Now before we get into the little stress relief activity. I want you to think of a few things that you might want an answer to. You have four flowers in front of you so think of four different things. Pick up one of your flowers and pick the first though, see what the answer is. Do that will all four flowers. The petals and what they mean is on the board up front."

Quote:

If the petal has four lines in it, it is a sign of hope.
Five lines coming from the center branch is hope founded in fear.
Thick lines bent to the right means prosperity.
Thick lines bent to the left mean trouble ahead.
Seven streaks is consistent love.
Eight streaks means fickleness in either you or those around you.
Nine, a changing heart.
Once they have found the answer to their first question they will do a different question with their second flower.

"I'll be around to help in anyway if you need."
