He could see nothing but his vague reflection.
Honestly, why had he taken up Divination? This was all a bunch of hogwash.
The fleeting thought broke his concentration, causing him to look away from the sphere and out the window. Brown eyes followed a few fish as they swam by. A snort escaped his throat as he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. Could probably predict more from their movement than a stupid ball of crystal.
Needless to say, he was quite sour that Divination, a class that was supposed to be an easy O, was proving to be such a thorn in his side. Was it too late to switch to Arithmancy or Ancient Runes?
The bundle of nerves that had become Aboli sat right next to the younger snake, and she felt herself relax as she did so. Ever since she had come back from Christmas break, she had felt...lost. Like she was gliding through the motions. She hadn't really made any effort with friends or...anything.
She felt alone.
However, that didn't stop her from doing her PREFECT DUTIES, and so she had seen little Zayn looking frustrated.
"What's up, mate?" she asked with a small smile.
"Couldn't help but notice you over here, alone, looking annoyed...with a crystal ball," she gestured at the one in front of him.
