Tea Divination Ashley thought as she went to gather up a pocket of tea leaves. Divination was something Ashley hadn't taken before so this was definately going to be a challenge. It takes a very speciial witch or wizard to posess this art.

She returned to her spot and poked the silk pouch with her finger, awaiting further instruction.

"Aeromancy? professor?" said Thump raising his hand.

Her seat in the front of the room was suddenly flooded with students headed to get their supplies. Trying to stifel a squeek or other such noise of terror, Rosalie remained in her seat until the crowd died down before she stood and took one of the silk pouches. She smiled at the professor before returning to her seat.

Lauren hopped up from her chair with a slight spring in her step. Slytherin had gained five points already, she actually was looking forward to seeing what shapes her cup contained (if any), and her professor had an enthusiasm for the subject that she had never seen before. Though they couldn't be found in a cup, these were all good signs that she would enjoy this class. Lauren merged into the line that had already formed, shuffling ahead to retrieve her necessary materials. She chose the bag of tea leaves from the top of the box and, cradling it in her hands, returned to her seat.

Jordana stood up from her seat and made her way to the front of the class to collect the materials needed. After waiting in line for a few seconds she grabbed a silk pouch and a tea cup and returned to her seat.

Tas stood up and into the newly formed line of students eager to get a hold of their of set of tea leaves. She smiled looking at the cart and when it was her turn she took everything that was individually sorted in the box. After collecting the items, she returned back to her seat and set everything on the table.

Cassandra collected her lesson material from the Professor and went to sit down.

Professor Craft watched as the students obeyed. "Now students I put a charm on the teacups. Just tap them once with your wand and they will fill with hot water." Professor Craft took a teacup of her own and tapped it once with her wand. It filled with steaming water and she added the tea leaves from the pouch. "Once your teacup is filled with hot water please pour the contents of the pouch into the cup and set it aside." She placed her own cup onto the edge of her desk.


OOC: My step father is on European time for his job right now and the poor guy has to work. I have to get offline but I will continue in the morning. Don't chat too excessively. Night loves!

Cassandra did as she was told and sat to wait for directions.

Listening to the instructions being given, Jordana looked down at her tea cup, and with her wand tapped her tea cup once. Just as Professor Craft said; the tea cup now had hot water within it. Jordana reached for the pouch, opened it and added the tea leaves from the pouch into her tea cup. When done she set the empty silk pouch to one side, and left her tea cup alone as she waited for further instruction.

Tas tapped her cup with her wand and watched as it filled with the hot water. She looked around and saw everyone adding tea leaves and carefully added hers, trying not to add too much, so they would still make some prnaments she could read.

She watched the tea leaves drown and waited for Professor Craft to provide them with the further instructions.

Kalaya took out her wand and tapped her cup and watched it fill up with the hot water as she tucked it away again. She poured the tea leaves from the pouch into the cup of steaming water and set both the empty pouch and cup aside. She looked up at the professor, wondering what was coming next.

Lauren looked intently at the small teacup sitting on her desk, as if trying to stare down a competitor. The teacup looked unassuming, sure, because who doesn't love tea? She never met a cup of tea she disliked. But inside here was a challenge she had to face. Divination was never easy to her - she never understood how it worked. She never gave the subject the time of day, always tossing it aside as the "silly" corner of magic, the type of magic most impractical and least official. And yet she could feel her heart thumping in anticipation, her spirits hanging in the balance, waiting to see if she could complete this task correctly. She wanted to see something - anything - in her tea leaves to let her know she accomplished what she wanted. It didn't matter if she interpreted the symbol that appeared; all that mattered was that she found one.

She took her wand in her clammy hand, took a deep breath, and tapped her cup. Hot water filled the teacup from the bottom, the steam wafting into her nose and enveloping her face in a warm hug. She shut her eyes for a moment and breathed in, enjoying the feeling of the heavy air like a ribbon across her face. Opening them, she picked her pouch of tea leaves up with two fingers, moved it toward the teacup, and let its contents drop into the water with a light plop, plop, plop. Lauren gingerly took the cup in her hands, slid it to a corner of the table, and waited.

Phoebe did as the Proffesor told her tapping the empty cup once as hot water filled in. She added some tea leaves and waited patiently to see what would happen next.

Ariana did as the professor said and watched as the hot steaming liquid seemed to appear before her eyes in her cup. She was amazed and waited until it was full before adding her teaa leaves. She looked around the room curiously, watching the other students doing the same and smiled. She liked this class already, and she had a feeling she would do very well here. She placed her cup away from her and awaited further instructions.
