GLARE.

Nolan would have probably continued to overlook the boy sleeping, which would have been super lucky for the boy--with his little outburst however, he caught his attention.

"I'm sorry that I'm not able to hold your attention," Nolan told the boy with a sigh. "1 point from Ravenclaw for napping during class. I suggest you rest up tonight so you don't do it in your next classes as well," he explained.

He checked his watch and...EEEP! Peeves had taken up so much time! Sigh. "Alright class, I'm afraid due to our little...visitor, time has run short on us today. The project I had in mind for our practical portion of this lesson will now be your homework, but I'm sure a number of you will still enjoy it," he explained with a smile. They should be happy about that. His original plan for this homework assignment had been an ESSAY.

"Now, before I dismiss you, please write me a small paragraph--actually, a paragraph is stretching it, perhaps just a sentence or two--explaining which deck you'd choose to use on a daily basis and why. For example, my favorite deck is the Celestial deck, because it mixes astrology with tarot card reading to give more unique results, and it's got pretty designs on each of the cards," he added. True story. They were so fun to look at! "You can find a list in your text, and since there's nearly 1000 different decks in there, I'm sure you can all find something, even if you're not a true believer in the tarot cards," he added with a chuckle.

"Homework will be posted later this afternoon on the bulletin boards. So, write your paragraph, hand it in and you're free to leave!" he said with a smile.

Haughtine's little legs involuntarily fluttered under her desk as the Professor took a point from Ravenclaw. MWAAHhAahaaa! The man was becoming more and more heroic by the minute and she decided there and then that she loved Divination.

With a little reptilian smile she reached into her bag, laid out a sheet of parchment and dipped her quill into her ink to do her assignment beginning it with a sigh.

Slytherin, 1st year

If I had the choice of which type of card deck to use for Cartomancy reading, I would chose to use the Egyptian Tarot. I like how the art looks exactly like Egyptian art from ancient Egypt. Also, the symbols that are used in the deck also resembles ancient Egyptian symbols, which I think gives the cards even MORE meaning than a standard Waite deck.

Drying the parchment and putting away her ink and quill, Haughtine took her bag and her assignment up to the teacher and handed it in, then quickly got herself out into the corridor where she could laugh as loudly as he wanted to.
