Entering into the Divination classroom, the room was under a calm sort of quiet. The only sounds were the light tappings of a free roaming pink fwooper on the professors desk, as it pecked and chose small fortune cards amongst a filed deck.
The room was well lit, as the large, thick drapes were drawn back and tied to let in the natural brilliance of the sun. A window was cracked ever slightly, and the cool, but friendly breeze from the approaching summer outside was creeping in and carrying in the smells of grass and garden, which were mingling with the latest odours of nag champa incense, Oolong and dust.
Upon each desk is a blank note card, a deck of white cards with blank faces and a frame decorated back that had the words "top" and "bottom" written on it, a folded piece of dark fabric, a quill, and some ink.
The professor was sitting behind the desk, carefully monitoring the actions of the fwooper, and gives you a welcoming nod as you enter.

Refrain from chatting. The Professor may think you're attempting to cheat on your exam if you're caught trying to chat up another student. Quote:

The Practical
After you've turned in your written assignment, you may begin your practical. Start by laying out the dark cut of fabric until it creates a dark smooth surface over your desk. Take the deck of mock cards and demonstrate the proper techniques of cutting and shuffle as if they were a real tarot deck. Once you are done with that, begin laying out the cards in a classic fan spread formation. Once this is complete, take the blank note card and write your name upon it and place it somewhere visible on your desk.
