 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Nem's eyes found Bernadette as she entered, and tracked her all the way to the seat beside them. "Hey." They tilted back an inch or two more, one foot hooked around a chair leg, while the toes of the other provided support and leverage. "Oh, the usual." Would only have been polite to ask the question in return, but Nem knew where Bernadette could usually be found these days. Really, it was a kindness that they didn't ask, and Nemesis Upstead was nothing if not terribly kind.
Speaking of terribly kind, they shot a glance at the other Gryffindor, now passing by. "I'm here to learn, McCarthy," Nem replied, just as politely, and turned their eyes to the front of the room again. Ready to learn, see?
Look. A question.
And look. An answer. "You know, the universe doesn't give us anything, or try to help us. It's just there." So jot that down. "There are things available to be interpreted - signs and whatever, sure - but they aren't personally delivered. You have to see them and take them for yourself, if you even have the capacity to do so." A lot could be said for a method like that, in any context. Nem could be the one to say it, if they felt so inclined. The pin on their chest gleamed in the dim light of the nearest candle. "Anyway, Divination is a real branch of magic, that's fairly well-documented. But it's also inexact, and unreliable. There are plenty of diviners who make it up or see what they want to see, others who actually have decent intuition but not a clue how to use it, and others still who know how and when to tap into that intuition." Bona fide Seers were another kettle of kelpies entirely, as far as Nem was concerned, but they weren't going down that rabbit hole today.
