Hmmm, Violet thought to herself,
Stolisomancy...there really was a kind of divination that had to do with clothes. She stopped and wrote that down. Then she considered the meanings the teacher had described to them...

If you loop your tie with your left hand you will find love
If you loop your tie with your right hand you will be alone
She looked at her list of questions from before, but none of them seemed to apply to her--she wasn't wearing pants or a tie, she hadn't put her skirt or shirt on the wrong way, both her shoelaces were tied....hey, wait a minute! As she was looking down at her feet again, she noticed that her right shoelace had come untied since the beginning of the exercist. Bouncing Boggarts! that shoe was
always coming untied, no matter how tightly she tied it; it was like someone had put a hex on her. Then she looked at the list of divinatory meanings a again--

Hey, that wasn't so bad--Violet always assumed people were silently judging her, but maybe they weren't. She would have to consider this and maybe try not to be so socially awkward.
Then she heard the next part of the assignment...

I said about not judging someone, well for this you aren't judging, but looking deeper then just a glance. See what you can find with your partner that could answer some of these questions.".
Violet looked around her table--she was sitting with two other people, Ashley and Mamie--how were they going to do this? Maybe the two first years would want to be partners with each other, and that would mean Violet would have to get up and find someone else. She waited a minute to see how this was going to turn out.
