With an evil grin, he stuck his tongue out and made his ears wiggle at the students before disappearing before Professor Four Eyes turned around. Unfortunately, the glasses didn't go invisible with him...but he WANTED it to be that way. HEHEHE! Then they'd know he was still there!

He floated away to the far corner of the ceiling, bouncing around and giving off a rather odd picture of glasses bobbing in midair.

OH this was just so much fun, watching the professor get angry! And bad choice of words, poor professor, BAD BAD BAD choice of words. GIGGLE! This was going to be SO FUNNY!

"Of course, Professor Four Eyes!" he said, saluting the professor and taking the glasses off. He dangled them out in the middle of the air...come on, THEY HAD TO SEE THIS COMING...and simply DROPPED the glasses from the ceiling. CACKLE!

"WHOOPSIE! Bad Peeves! Butterfingers!!!!" he chuckled, watching the glasses land with a CRACK on the ground, giggling in delight as the lenses completely shattered.

Breaking things was FUN. WHAT ELSE COULD HE BREAK??? OOOOOH, those pretty crystal orbs stacked up along the windows were perfect.

He flew over to the window and, going INVISIBLE yet again, he simply TIPPED the first ball in the rack so that it knocked into the next one, creating a bit of a chain effect. HEHEHE!

As much as he'd like to stay and watch them try and stop the inevitable fall of the crystal balls, he remembered that the professor WOULD probably go get the Baron for REALZ after this when all the crystal orbs were KAPUTT...best not be around for that. Besides, there were a number of lovely baby Venomous Tentacula that he spotted this morning that just HAD to be unplanted in the greenhouses. HEHE.

With that, he stayed invisible and he was off to cause more chaos elsewhere.

"Treyen is right...death does not literally mean DEATH in all cases. Many times it can just mean an end to something, perhaps a job or a friendship. Not necessarily meaning someone is going to literally die," he explained. No need for them all to act like they've seen a grim now!

He hoped for just a TINY second that they were back on track when...GIGGLING ensued. "Wait, what?" the professor asked in confusion. Why were they laughing at him?

It was PEEVES again wasn't it???!

Turning around quickly to see if the joker had written something else on his board, he completely missed the poltergeist as he flew up into the air. Ok, WHAT did he do to this board?? That HAD to be the reason they were all giggling. He messed it up somehow...but WHERE? All the notes still looked the same to him!

He was completely oblivious to his black framed glasses bobbing around near the ceiling.

The end can sometimes bring on good things, such as new relationships or romances...and as for there not being a card for that, I'm afraid this is a very ancient practice that has gone on for years and years, and since they never established a separate card for 'end' during that time, I doubt they'll establish one in the future," he explained with a smile.

"Now we've covered all the cards of the Major Arcana, so who can tell me a bit about the Minor Arcana? It's a bit of a different layout than the Major deck," he explained.



Whaaa? Wrinkling his dark brows and looking up toward the ceiling, he saw...his glasses? Floating in midair? Fantastic.

"Oh for the love of Merlin!" Nolan exclaimed, running a hand through his hair in a huff. "Peeves! Put them down this instant or I'll REALLY go get the Baron!" he said.

Were there any spells one could use against a ghost? Hmmmmm.

Yes, the glasses he wasn't too broken up about. But the ORBS...oh the orbs. Sniffle.



GLARE.

Nolan first glared at the Ravenclaw, and then, he blushed, cause he was sure he really did look ridiculous when he had been freaking out over the orbs. His collection was priceless! Of course he had been worried!

Lesson learned. Those orbs were going IN his Gringotts vault ASAP.







Nolan smiled as the orbs were cleaned up promptly with the help of the students. "Thank you very much, students! I'll attempt to repair the orbs later, although I'm not sure how successful I'll be," he said, his voice trailing off. SNIFFLE. Two orbs lost, how sad!





As the students answered his original question, he kept his ears peeled, listening for their answers AND for Peeves. But it seemed...he was gone? HE WAS GONE! "I think he's gone!" he exclaimed in a whisper.

Wait, why was he whispering? Peeves didn't scare him! "I think he's gone!" he announced to the rest of the class.

GOOD! They could continue with the class, except time was now a bit of an issue...blehhh. "Good answers! Please, continue to list the specific cards of the Minor Arcana and their meanings!" he said, waving his wand to clean up the excess debris from the little ruckus Peeves had caused.
