Avalon was surprised that Professor Kitridge would ask such a question. She was surely opening the room up to a potentially anti-Divination discussion, wasn't she?

Personally, she wasn't sure how she felt about the whole thing. Avalon continued to take the subject, simply because she had room in her schedule and she liked Professor Kitridge. But did she really believe in the legitimacy of Divination? She went back and forth. At times, she really did believe that seers had a gift. But then she looked at an indistinguishable blob of tea leaves and figured that Divination was a joke. "I don't know. I think the universe does have a funny way of giving us signs, but not necessarily to the extent some people take it." Like reading tea leaves, for example. "But I think there are vibes and feelings that diviners can interpret." Like karma and negativity. Those were types of divination she could see herself believing in.

Which was why the sixth year also had some thoughts on the second question, which was related to karma. "Maybe we feel itchy because deep down, we know we did something that might come back for us. If we do something bad or treat someone poorly, we might feel guilty about it and sense some bad karma." It was a pretty abstract answer, but hey, Divination was a pretty abstract subject.
