Finally after some muttering and Lyra noticed that Kiri had wanted to slam the book shut, the girl finally found the chapter. Lyra listened to what she was saying and with each word her mouth dropped open more. She stared at Kiri in disbelieve and grabbed her own Divination book. Lyra flipped through its pages and found the flowers quickly and read through them. She looked up at Kiri again with huge eyes. "How does this book..i mean how do these flowers say anything...never mind" she muttered and looked at Evan sitting on the other side of the class.
She sighed heavily and nodded at Kiri's prediction. Deciding to tell Kiri what had happened so far, the second year Slytherin looked down at her hands which where suddenly very interesting. "Uhm, well yes" she began and looked up. "Y-you see that guy over there" she nodded slightly towards Evan , afraid that if she pointed at him he would see it. "Well, he's my friend...i think... eh, we met in Diagon Alley before school started , he knocked me on the ground is more like it" she giggled , remembering the scene. "we shopped together and bought a few icecreams. I really liked him and i had found some time ago that he liked me too but" there was a awkward pause. It was so weird talking about this "He also likes another girl named Fallon and ..well i have jealousy problems according to him" she sighed heavily and pouted her lip "I..i uhm, i attacked another Slytherin girl when i saw Evan together with her..i didn't know they were just friends because she had her head on his shoulder..It wasn't Fallon , it was another girl" she said carefully not saying Shana's name. What if Kiri knew Shana or worse what if she was a friend of her? "yes i do regret what i've done and i've said a apology to the girl but she wouldn't listen.."
Better not tell her that she had also slapped Evan a few times now, which, in Lyra's mind where is own fault. The slap on the train with the flyer was because he had walked away during her talking and the other slap was because he had used a Not Ministry approved spell on her in a corridor. And she had beaten him in a duel in the Dueling Arena.
Alright, so now that Lyra had opened up her (according to Shana) cold-heart to someone she had only met twice and she had to admit it felt good , she looked at Kiri and pointed at her bouquet. "Eh, shall i tell something about your flowers?" cue giggle, that sounded so stupid.
Mouth slightly open, Kiri listened to the girl talk. Her prediction (
lucky guess was more accurate, in Kiri's opinion) had turned out to be true. For a given value of 'true'.
She wasn't sure she wanted to hear about it, especially as this
it seemed to be highly personal, but the girl didn't appear to mind, letting Kiri in on a long and complicated story that involved ice cream and duelling. Kiri alternated between looks at Lyra and looks over her shoulder at the boy she'd pointed out.
"Er, I see," was, consequently, the only thing she could think of saying when Lyra was done. Kiri didn't really have a clue what else to say - Divination seemed to be the wrong lesson for advice, and at any rate, one had to be really desperate to ask Kiri's help in... romantic matters. "Maybe this means, um, that the situation's about to change," she ventured uncertainly, glancing at Lyra's flowers. She had the sneaking suspicion that those bouquets did not so much predict the future as give insight into the current mood of their creators.
In reply to Lyra's question, Kiri nodded. "Sure, have a gue-, I mean, prediction," she said, handing over her own tussie-mussie. She'd arranged, without much attention to detail, two roses, one yellow and one red (of course), a snowdrop and a few twigs of fennel.
