Cassandra didn't see anything in Bucky's crystal ball... "Bucky... Are you playing with me?" She shook her head.

She turned to Keller and looked into his Crystal Ball. "I see you... and me... in Puddifoots... well, I can't tell you what we're doing..." She blushed, "it's personal..." she said as she turned and sat back into her seat.

Heather took another sevral ddep breaths and had counted down from a rondomly chosen number.She opend her eyes and looked into the crystal ball.
At first she saw nothing but the fog swirling in it.

Then she held her breath as her best friend Liliana appeared laying in a coffin.She knew all to well what it meant and didnt want to see it anymore. She didn't notice that a few tears had started to fall.

She looked away from the ball and looked back seeing the usal fog swirling in it.She decided that one try was good enough and if she didn't again it probably show something worse.Sh didn't bother to wipe the tears away this time but to sit there staring and mumbling,"No."

Her act was almost broken by a deep urge to roll her eyes as Cassandra continued her vomit-inducing flirting and possibly indecent talk.

"I'm not playing look!" She exclaimed and pointed randomly at a spot on her ball. "See? Behind the clouds that look like a chizpurfle...I see Manly Man...having a nice warm little meeting with a dark haired beauty...sadly it's not you. You're over there with Marco who is dressed in a purple leotard," finished Bucky pointing somewhere else. "Trying to pry Keller off from a hysterical Jasmine."

Jasmine,startled again by the sudden appearance of Marco,gave him a fond smile and said sheepishly, "What? Oh I'm fine thank you for asking." Turning back to Keller she smiled again and teased,"Not much. Just hangin out, scrying with some buddies,you know the usual"

Hearing Cassandra's remark made Jasmine roll her eyes while hearing Bucky's made her bust out in giggles.

Keller did not hear Cassandra's last statement, he was well into conversation with Jasmine at this point. "Well that sounds fun. I haven't seen you around. We should go, maybe to Hogsmeade together this weekend?" he asked hopefully, but patted himself on the back for controlling his voice. He really did just want to hang out with her some.

Eternal sat back in her seat, staring deep into her crystal ball. See, she liked to look into the future using the scrying methods her mother taught her when she was a little faerie at court. The fire is easy to use. The mirror is good to focus. The water can ripple the edges. And the stone can be the most hardest. She'd rather use fire than look into a ball that swirls with smoke. She rolled her eyes and looked around the classroom, trying to do anything than think about her future right now.

"Hey Bucky, what are you foreseeing?" Seemed to her that Cassandra was being peeved at whatever Bucky was saying. Sounded like drama.

"You are welcome" Marco said, smiling.

Marco looked at Bucky, "Purple? What??? Me? Purple? Must be a false image. I would never be seen in a leotard, let alone a purple one."

Cassandra rolled her eyes at Keller. Did he not get that Jasine didn't want to be with him... forget it... this was never going to work... stupid Gryffindor.

She turned to Bucky and gave her an 'oh, really' look. "I'm having a tough day Bucks, lay off." She said.

Wednesday sat and tried very hard to get into the trance-state. She breathed regularly, counted to a hundred, concentrated on the crystal ball, but nothing was happening. Wednesday yawned with boredom and laid her head down on the table, staring blankly at the room.

Snapping out of her foggines Ari shook her head wondering what it was she saw. She needed to be sure of whatever it was so started to close her eyes again, riding herself of all thoughts, all distractions. When the only sound she heard was her own deep breathing she began counting from ten to one.

This time she felt diffrent, like she was floating in mid air, nothing holding her up. She kept her eyes closed for a few minutes longer, concentrating on her breathing and nothing else. Soon the light feeling stopped, as suddenly as it began and she shuddered slightly, as if coming to a stop at a train station.

She opened her eyes, not even knowing she was diong it and gazed into the crystal ball, her eyes widdening as she saw ... nothing. Absolutly nothing but that white cloudy figure coming closer to her. Or so it seemed. Everything seemed black and white as she continued looking into the ball, a small shudder going through her.

Suddenly the fog in the ball seemed to part, allowing something to come through. The shape was blurry but it looked like a person. It only lasted for a split second, but it was long enough for Ari to get a good look. Clouds of swilrling black and grey began to emerge, moving quickly, making Ari's eyes sting. She blinked them back, moving her face closer to the ball as she gazed at the clouds.

Colours began to emerge, light pinks and pale blues. She blinked back a tear as she watched, mesmerized by what was happening. Her hands tightened around her as a, well something, streaked past the image. Her eyes widened as everything stopped suddenly, the crystal ball returning to its dormat state.

Ari shuddered again and sat back, her heart beating as a smile emerged on her face. She had seen something, that's for sure. If it was what she thought it was then her suspicions were correct. But if it wasn't, then she was in trouble. Not serious trouble, but ... she shook the dark thought from her mind, her heart returning to normal.

Jasmine's eyes got wide again at Keller's question, her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts, "Um.. well.. maybe we can get a bunch of us together and go?" she smiled and glanced around at everyone.

"Marco in tights," she replied with a serious face.



Celestina tried not to laugh and so she pressed her lips tightly together while she contained her mirth. Happy with having won she dared speak again. "Personally, I think you have very nice legs." And so she turned to the crystal sphere once more, trying to concentrate once more.


Celestina shrugged and rubbed her sphere with both hands. People were so uptight Bucky could predict their future without the use of scrying.

Dead. Alone. And Old. In a lousy armchair. From heart damage. "Anyone I need to knock unconcious with old Betsy here?"

And Bucky shook the crystal ball for emphasis.

Anything to hang out with her was fine with him, though not ideal, it would do. "That sounds great, good idea Jasmine." he smiled at her. "Just let me know when, ok?"

Eternal laughed. Marco in tights? Now that would be a sight. She glanced over at him and saw he was with Jasmine. She rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. Those two really didn't make a good couple. She could foresee lots of tears shed in their future. "Now, wouldn't a friend of mine love to see Marco in tights. Right Marco, dear?" She said to him with a rather wicked grin.

Wicked. Yes. She turned back to Bucky. "Dear, can you see my future? As grim as it might be." She smiled lightly.

Saylie had been silently counting in her head...striving to clear any thoughts but those of the numbers and focusing on the ball in front of her. She'd picked a random number--25--and decided that maybe she needed to count a little higher. after counting to about thrity, she stared intently at the ball, thinking of nothing as the fog swirled inside. Suddenly, she felt like she was being drawn into the mist, as if it were reaching out to her, though still encased in the crystal. She blinked and sat up, breaking the concentration she'd had. Looking around the room, she tried to see if anyone else had felt anything like that, but shrugged slightly and tried again, hoping that she could hold her concentration this time.

"No no. Not me in tights," Marco said, "I don't wear tights. Ever."

He peered down at his legs, "Why thank...Have you been spying on me? I have never gotten my legs out, not in public anyway."

Celestina nodded eagerly and rubbed the crystal sphere to warm it up. "Certainly! I can try my best." She closed her eyes at first, determined to concentrate and she heard the soothing sound of her breath leaving and entering her body.

Then Marco interrupted. Opening her eyes she struggled to grasp the huge sphere to raise it up to Marco's face. "It's in the ball!" She replied to his question. "Why would I spy on you? You're simply not that attractive. Now Keller on other hand," continued Celestina loudly. "Is a subject worth spying on."

Bucky rolled her eyes once more and turned her attention back to her sphere.

"I detect...behind all this fog," she mumbled to herself. "A whole lot of drama, very little true romance, backstabbing and pointless flirting and someone being hexed into oblivion..."

"Alex and I broke up..." Cassandra then looked up at Xana and leaned into Bucky whispering "And I saw the Manly Man, flirting with the Blaylock mini clone..." she said.

Keller was acting like a lost puppy... pathetic. "Just let me knew bleh bleh bleh" Cassandra said in a funny voice.

Looking up at Keller, jasmine smiled back and said quietly, "Ok"

Hearing Marco defend his non use of tights, she held back a giggle and said,"I think purple would be a smashing color on you!"

Eternal giggled. Bucky was a sheer delight, whereas Marco was being weirdly cute at the moment. She rolled her neck and listened to Bucky. To what she was saying, it sounded like she was going to be going through a lot for the upcoming war when she leaves Hogwarts forever.

"Sounds like an ordeal. We faeries are a bit devious. I wonder how Corvus is going to act when I kill innocent seelie." Eternal looked into the crystal ball and got lulled by it's fog.

Celestina looked up from her crystal sphere and stared off into space momentarily. There was no concentration to be had today. "I'm sorry to hear that," she said softly. Why if Tag and her broke up--she didn't want to think about it. "Manly Man flirting with who now?"

Blaylock mini clone? Bucky tapped the crystal sphere.

The whole Keller clearly wanting Jasmine and Cassandra clearly being bothered by the fact made her queasy. "Would you all get a grip on your hormones?"



Celestina snapped her fingers and pointed at Jasmine to Marco to Jasmine. "See? She finds that kind of thing attractive. You should thank me for bringing such a declaration into the open."



Celestina raised one brow and glanced back down at her sphere. "Well...I didn't see anything about killing but I suppose it's there if you say so!" Who was she to contradict a "faerie".

Jasmine did not seem excited about the trip, but he would change her mind.

Keller’s ears perked up when Bucky mentioned that he would be a subject worth spying on. Hm, I have missed school, he thought smiling to himself. But stopping quickly as he didn’t want to look like to large of an idiot.

Turning back to Cassandra at the mention of this tidbit of information he smiled at her “Oh Cassandra, I’m sorry to hear about that. Are you ok?” he smiled at her. Cassandra was never a girl Keller would have thought as a girlfriend, he had seen he as a great flirt. But now the tides were turning. But was he ready to leave Jasmine, if only for a bit? And her sarcastic comment, that he pretended not to hear, did nothing for her case. Was she jealous or really just that evil?

Jasmine suddenly realized that they were all just pretty much chatting and no longer doing as the professor asked, therefore she poked both Marco and Keller and whispered, "You all better get back to your seats. Professor Blaylock is looking a biit put out already today wit out all of us disobeying her "no excessive chat" rule!"

Marco laughed, "Smashing you say? I think it would look smashing too. Mirror smashing that is."

"And Bucky I think the person being hexed to oblivion may be you, if you keep suggesting ridiculous notions."

Eternal smiled like she was greeting someone. "There is a war coming up and It's going to be rather... merciless." She rolled her silver eyes and glanced back over to Marco. What was he doing? Flirting with that young little girl. She knew she was going to have to report this in a letter.

She pulled out of her pocket a small mirror. "And would you like for me to see anything for you, dear?" She said to Jasmine, rather coyly.
