"Oooh..and a globe signifies a long distance travel." " Very good! Five points for you." Quote:

"In Tasseomancy, the symbol for travel is a ostrich..." She said, almost crossing her fingers at her left hand. Then, she remembered another animal. A zebra. Was it it? "Another symbol for travel can be...a zebra, which also means, adventure...and unsettleing..." She added to her answer. " Yes. A symbol for unrest and sometimes that entails a journey. Two points."

Listening intently to the Professor as she gave some more brief comments on negative and positive spaces, she then asked about travel. Raising her hand again, she answered thoughtfully. "There are several symbols for travel; the ostrich, which is a symbol for travel, in reference to not seeking a truth. Another being a tent, which is for travel, in reference to cover, or a hidden truth." Meh. She hoped that was right anyway.
" Good, Mia. Two points for your answers." Quote:

Upon hearing the next question she raised her hand again and replied "There are several things that can symbolize travel, a few examples are an aircraft, a ball, a car, a globe, a kangaroo, a tent, an ostrich or a zebra." " Wonderful, Regina! Eight points to Slytherin house." Not that they needed them to win at this point. Quote:

Here her hand raised again, she said, "Bascially the symbol Ostrich is meant for travel but not seeking a truth was the other meaning of this symbol. And there are some more symbols too Professor. The symbol Zebra indicates the travel and adventure, probably overseas. And finally the Bird symbol to marks certain way of traveling. It says if the bird is flying - good news, If at rest - a fortunate journey is approaching", she finished with confidence. " Good answers and explainations. Three points." Quote:

"Professor, many symbols can signify travel -- not just those that my classmates have mentioned, but others as well... the textbook, along with many other supplimentary texts, state that symbols such as the bear, the compass, the tent, the coconut, and the elephant can represent traveling. Depending on additional signs, the bumblebee can also represent travel, while a globe means long-distance travel specifically and a horseshoe can mean good luck in travel. A common ball can be translated into a need or want to travel." Desdemonda rattled off, smiling, her unburnt hand suspended in the air even still. " Excellente, Desdemonda. Nine points." Quote:

" Six points to you, Cassandra." Quote:

Originally Posted by LisaPotter1125 Astrid was happy to earn another two points for Gryffindor but was hoping to earn a few more if possible. She remember a few of the different symbols that she had read about and travel was one that stuck out in her mind. She was hoping to see some travel in her tea leaves. She raised her hand high, feeling quite confident and said,
"Well Professor, there are quite a few symbols that can refer to travel. The most common are the Ostrich or Kangaroo, both simply meaning travel or a journey. There's also aircraft, which means the same. Birds can mean good news or travel by air. A Ball indicates ones desire to travel, a Car, if clear equals travel; if broken equals mechanical trouble, a globe means long distance travel. Lines mean a journey on a road; if straight they equal progress; if wavy they mean an uncertain path; if many they mean many short trips. And last but not least the Zebra indicates a need to be more flexible and adventurous in your travel plans." "Nine points, Astrid." Quote:
Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 Anna raised her hand. "An ostrich is the symbol for travel. A tent can indicate travel, as well. There are several other symbols representing some form of travel, though. A bear facing away from the handle of the cup, as well as an aircraft, a parrot, or a crescent, indicates a journey. A railway and a trunk indicate a long journey. A zebra indicates overseas adventure, and an arch indicates a journey abroad. A bat indicates a journey ending in disappoint." " Eleven points." Professor St. Toussaint said almost whispered. This Gryffindor prefect was quite bright. Quite bright, indeed. Quote:

" Now, your tea should be nice and thuroughly brewed. Go ahead and start drinking and remember to leave only about a teaspoon sized serving left in your cup. Do not drink it all." Professor St. Toussaint went over to her cup and brought it to her lips, but before she could take a drink she decided she'd ask the class the next question. " What does a dense formation of leaves ususally indicate in a reading?"
