| | |  Divination Two: Tasseomancy
Professor St. Toussaint opened up the doors to her class to let the young ladies of Belle's School of Magic for Young Witches enter. The fresh and green aroma of tea wafted through the corridors as the Professor held the door open with a sticking charm and made her way back to her desk. She drew out differently coloured bags of various loose-leaf teas and began serving portions of the dried tea leaves in small dipping bowls.
" Take a bowl of dried tea leaves from my desk, take a partner, and have a seat. Class will begin shortly.", she all but squeaked in her misleadingly soft and tiny voice.
Each seat was beset with a single-serving tea set which consisted of a small earthen or chinaware pot and like-materialed cups, some of which were equipped with handles and others which were Asian styled without handles.
OOC: Take your time RPing to class. I'll return in 8-9 hours. | |

Hearing the Professor give the instructions, Steelsheen approached the desk and took a bowl of the dried tea leaves. She stared at it curiously then sat back down on her seat, looking around the classroom for a partner.

Melinda looked at the girl who had asked her to partner up. Good, finally, a partner, and maybe a new friend. She smiled and nodded to her. "Sure..." She said.
The girl introduced herself as Kaika. She pulled out her hand for a handshake. "Melinda...nice to meet you. " She said and smiled.

Looking over the classroom she was about to sigh and just wait for someone new to arrive when she noticed Ella sitting at a table by herself. Walking up to her she said, "hey Ella. I guess we get to be partners again." She smiled as she took a seat beside her friend.

Luckily, an older woman, a Professor was inside the classroom, so they were meant to survive. She wasn't quite sure about poor MSS though. Hmmm. But she still wasn't feeling entirely safe in there, and she scooted her chair to the side so that she could keep an eye on the Slytherin Duo. Just incase running was necessary.
She crinkled her nose at Willow's words and nodded her head slightly. Eh. Brilliant! She had just shown Willow she knew nothing about this. Way to go Evangeline! Not. "Tea, tea leaves ... same difference." She mumbled, sure that her cheeks were faintly pink now. You couldn't go wrong with her cheeks - it seemed they enjoyed blushing. "I still don't know how it's supposed to work."
Which was of course why she was here. Heh. Perhaps Willow had been wrong. Perhaps The Green Apple didn't enjoy Divination, after all. Not that she could blame her; but it would've been very convenient if she did. No matter how stupidly retarded Divination was.
Oh, yeah--and pointless. Divination was pretty pointless, too.
Shrugging was the only response that Willow had to Evangeline's response, for she didn't know if what the Slytherin had said was true or not. "Me neither. I'm not good at this". Sigh. "Actually, I think Divination is rather pointless and stupid", Willow added, dropping her voice, so Evangeline could be the only able to hear her. No need to let St. Touissant hear that.
Reaching for her bag to take out her Divination book, Willow started to flip the pages of it. "Er, this is Tasseomancy, right?". She gave Evangeline an uncertain look.
They were doomed.

She looked up, "I'm quite good with tea leaves" she said, and decided to ask, "Are you?" it didn't matter anyway. Divination used to be fun for her, and it was one of the classes that didn't change much, considering.

Melinda walked to grab her bag and then sit with Kaika. She smiled at her. But then, she asked the question, the big question. She didn't know anything about that subject. "Nope...but anything you do, I will follow, I want to learn...that's my point in school..." She said.

Alexis walked into class feeling all out of breath as she had in fact ran to class, thinking she was late, a quick look around the class told her she was on time. She leaned against the nearest wall and tried to get her breathing right again, before walking up to the table and taking a bowl of the tea leaves, then she found an empty table towards the back and sat down, looking at the people next to her told her they had partners for today class, oh well Alexis had never really been a 'people' person anyway. | |

I'm in third" then, she took a glimpse at the professor's table. And turned back to Melinda, "I guess we should probably wait until she begins with the class" clearly, the loss of points wasn't going to do anyone any good, even if the professor was focused on something else.

She nodded, and looked to the front of the class, waiting for any instruction from Professor St. Toussaint.

But at the question she had to think a bit. Clearing her throat she said, "It was... okay." She remembered the incident of reading Maddox's diary and still felt ashamed about it. "How was your visit?" | |

Rapunzel just managed to make it to Divinations on time, which shouldn't have been that hard since there was no tower to climb. And no funky Blaylock to see.....well, that was sad really.
But here she was and thanks to her almost-tardiness, she was partnerless. Grabbing a bowl of the dried tea leaf thingies, Punz looked for an empty seat or a friend....but all seemed to be taken. Except for one. "Hello," she said cheerfully, approaching the table of a fellow Hufflepuff. "I'm Rapunzel, mind if I sit here?" she added, taking a seat opposite the girl. Perhaps they could work together and earn Hufflepuff a kajillion points...although that wasn't likely considering Punz's lack of divination knowledge....

Ella watched as students slowly coming around. She saw other two or three Hufflepuffs too. She wanted to talk to them too. But since the professor was present, she restrained herself to do that. Well..there will be other opportunities for that around the school.
She smiled back at Lima who's face looked drained a bit at the Hogsmead talks. "Not much..I was just chilling out and met a boy too." In fact there was nothing else to tell about her Hogsmead visit.

Lima was seriously thinking that she would have preferred a boring visit to the drama... When she mentioned the boy she figured she meant Curt. "Oh, you just met Curt there, of course" she said smiling. "He is awesome. You know, he's seeing my cousin Vannah." | |

| First Question
Seeing that the young ladies were, for the most part, seated and prepared for the class, she took her wand and removed the sticking charm from the door allowing it to shut with a rather loud brassy noise.
The Professor cleared her throat and spoke. "Good afternoon, ladies. Today's lesson will be on Tasseomancy. Before we officially begin, who can define 'Tasseomancy' for the class?"

Celandine raised her hand, "Professor, Tasseomancy is a method of divination where one interprets the patterns left by the dregs of the tea leaves. The term derives from the French word tasse for cup , and the Greek suffix mancy for divination. "
She looked around trying to spot a partner.

Rapunzel raised her hand too, not sure of the answer she was thinking.
"Tasseomancy involves reading tea-leaves, and it originated from ceroscopy and molybdomancy," she added, trying to pronounce the words correctly. Hadn't she seen that in some book, somewhere? Right?

Ella raided her hand, "Tasseography (also known as tasseomancy or tassology) is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments", she said, hoping that her answer should be right.
She then turned to Lima and signalled we will talk later and winked.

Anna raised her hand and then replied, "Tasseomancy, which can also be called tasseography tassology, is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in things like tea leaves or coffee grounds."
