But then, Cela had come over in a panic and she'd turned her head to look at the blonde. She took a few seconds to formulate her argument, but by the time she'd readied it, Professor Kapoor had opened the class. Apparently her shoes were going to have to wait. It hadn't seemed like they had bothered the professor too much, but she couldn't really tell. So with another glance at her housemate, she turned to the rest of the class as discussion started. Floriomancy, right. Taking notes, she listened as others answered the question that had been posed about its origin.
And then they had been told to pair up, and she took the ensuing rush of conversation to turn back to Cela. "If it makes you feel any better, the only person at all who's made any sort of comment about my shoes is Dominic Denton. And I don't think he's about to try to take off points any time soon," she whispered to the other girl. As far as she knew, he wasn't about to even try to talk to her, let alone attempt to argue about her shoes again. "Besides, maybe if we just focus on class, nothing'll happen. Anyway, since everyone's supposed to pair up, you want to?" She hoped Professor Kapoor wasn't just holding his plans for her in or something. He was pretty close with Professor Ashby of the pranks, so she couldn't tell. But if he did anything to hurt her shoes, she was possibly going to lose respect for him. Or at least stop liking Divination as much.
"Sure." Celandine sat down and promptly got completely distracted by the shoes again, leaning back enough so she could see them at least partially.
Aaaaand that was why she missed the introduction to the class and what they were supposed to do. But floriomancy! SHE KNEEWWWWW THAT STTUUUUFFFS!
She straightened up again when the Professor mentioned Tussie Mussies and decided right then if she ever had twin girls she'd totally call them Tussie and Mussie.
It definitely sounded better than nosegay.
So. Three flowers total? Not three kinds of flower? Well, Cela supposed they weren't technically aiming for pretty so she guessed it made sense. She began choosing her flowers, her tongue poking out from the side of her mouth as she decided.
The humming totally helped her decision too.
She cheerfully chose purple lilac, an orange rose and lastly, her name sake, Celandine.
Too bad there wasn't exactly a flower that meant Copernicus Kettleburn.
She passed her Tussie Mussie over to Adrienne to interpret.
