Rhea watched as Aiden practically dragged himself into the classroom. He took a seat in front of her and it was obvious he was half asleep and unaware of alot going on around him. She tapped his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up and covered her mouth to stifle a chuckle.

Kevin smiled as the professor greeted him and he sat patiently waiting for class to start

Rafe walked into Divination, a subject he wasn't that familiar with, only that his father had his own personal seer, which was pretty cool. He took a seat near the only familiar faces he recognized, Destiny and Evelyn. Surely they'd forgotten about him pretending to catch them on fire. Though from the rumors circulating around school at least he didn't actually do any damage. "Hello girls," he said with a nod as he place his bag down on the desk.

A name tag hmm??? Rafe created a usual name tag he'd seen muggles where at big gatherings. Then he preceded to add his name, house, and year. Rafe stared at it for a moment. It looked to plain. He began to doodle on either side of it. A lion, for the obvious reason of being in Gryffindor and then a broom and snitch to show his love for quidditch. He stared at it for a moment.

Quote:

"Yeah, I'm a dork," he laughed at himself. He placed it on the desk as the professor instructed to do so to another student. Rafe just waited to do what further instructed. Hopefully they wouldn't do tea leaves...he couldn't stand tea. Ick!

William hesitantly entered the Divination classroom, totally expecting nothing more than to be told he was late. It already looked like there were many students there but it was at this point he didn't care. Walking to a seat he sat down, seeing name tags all over the seats. Hmm he thought taking out a quill and parchment and adding his own.

With that done he sat quietly, looking around curiously. He didn't like this subject much, though it was better than Arithmancy or Astronomy so he'd give it a shot.

Nancy grinned as a certain Slytherin Quidditch Captain aka Oliver Greenwood took a seat next to her...or Oliver his Awesomeness Greenwood like he had just called himself on his nametag. Err...right. A little vain, are we? Just as Nancy was about to reach out to scribble something else onto his nametag instead she noticed he was intently drooling over staring at something. And that something was actually a somebody called Brody Summers. Err.

Slowly extending her hand to move it in front of his face to get himout of his ZOMG!Pretty girl-trance Nancy stopped half-way, though, as he turned his attention back to his textbook. Yeah, like Oliver was one to just read his Divination textbook for fun...unless he was out of his mind. Which, judging by how he was staring at her now, might not even be far from the truth. "WHAT?!" The Prefect mouthed at him, her eyebrows raised in confusion. Would Reynolds scold her for smacking Oliver?

Torin walked into the class to see Oliver drooling over his girlfriend. As he walked by, he lightly smacked the boy on the back of the head before taking a seat beside Brody.

He next wrote out his name tag:

Hmmm, another skipping student. Were they all on a sugar high today or something? That would be just his luck! "Good day Miss Bennett," he said, glancing at her nametag. This was definitely a good idea, he concluded. Each name was getting easier for him.

Oh my. This child was...DEFINITELY over caffeinated or something. He read the boy's nametag and blinked a few times. Cupcakes? Well, that explained it. "Hello there Mister...Farley," he said. He ASSUMED that was his name, right?

"Good day Miss Rae," Nolan said with a smile to the Slytherin who had just entered.

"Hello Miss Flores," Nolan greeted the Slytherin who just entered. He noticed her giggling at the blind girl...oh noooo! Was she making fun of her? Maybe they didn't get along...Nolan did NOT like bullies and he hoped that poor Slytherin girl wouldn't get picked on. People with glasses had feelings toooooo!

Ahhh, it was the Miss...whatever her last name was. The prefect. "Good day Prefect Hudonson," he said with a smile as she sat down. HA! He'd gotten it right this time!

Hehe. Hufflepuff WAS the uber awesome house! He didn't say that out loud, though, cause he didn't want his class to think he was biased. Still, couldn't blame him for loving his former house, right?! "Good day Miss Bellaire," he said.

My Merlin, these students were coming up with CREATIVE names. He took note that the Slytherin was a Quidditch captain--hmm, lots of badges from Slytherin today! "Hello Captain Greenwood," he greeted the boy with a smile.

Another one with a creative name. Interesting. That sort of helped him though, because he could remember the crazy names pretty well. Hehe. "Hello Miss Summers," he replied to the Hufflepuff.

Uh oh. This one looked TIREDDD. Good thing they weren't doing anything boring--at least, he THOUGHT nothing they were doing today was boring. Ya never knooooow. "Good morning, Mister Chevalier," he said to the Gryffindor with a small chuckle.

"Hello Amy, how are you today?" he asked the Hufflepuff. He hadn't had a chance to see her since she had fainted, and he wanted to make sure none of that fainting stuff happened in his class today. Nope. No more dying Hufflepuffs, thanks!

"So I can read it, please," Nolan said with a smile. Simon didn't need to worry too much though, since he'd already met him in his office and pretty much had his nam down...although his name WAS long. Better to remind him a few more times!

Nolan watched a Ravenclaw first year--he assumed he was a first year, since he looked rather young--entered the room. "Good day young sir. Could you please make a nametag so I can learn your name?" he asked with a polite smile.

"Good day Mister Anderson," Nolan said with a grin. Was it just him, or were there a LOT of Slytherins in this class? Hmmm. They must be determined to keep their lead this term!

OOOH this Gryffindor had drawn PICTURES for him! "Good day Mister Lycaon...are you a Quidditch player?" he asked with a small chuckle. He would assume so with all those little doodles.

What did FTW mean? These young kids and their lingo! True, Nolan wasn't like...OLD or anything but...yeah. He turned it over in his head a few times before he realized he hadn't addressed the boy. "Good day Mister Cullack," he said to the Ravenclaw.

Guhh. Leave it to Prefect Kane to do something very...unprefect-like. "Prefect Kane, you of all people should know that getting hit on the head is NOT very pleasant," he said, sending him a rather nasty glare as he sat down. He had his eye on him. Yes he did.


He nervously glanced at his watch. "Just a few more minutes...since this is the first class of term, I'll allow a few minutes to let anyone who's lost trying to find this tower some time to get back on track," he informed everyone with a sheepish chuckle. Really, he was just nervous, and needed just a FEW more minutes to calm down. Yes. Just a few.

Rafe was a little caught off guard as the professor was towering over him. "Umm... yes sir," he said nervously and a little embarrassed by his doodles. "I play Keeper, or at least I'm hoping to continue the streak this year," Rafe forced a smile. "Wow!" Rafe said as he looked at the professor finally directly. "Sorry sir, I'm just surprised, you and some of the other professors look like you've just walked out of a Wizarding University or something?" Okay, not he was babbling and just stared at his name tag again. Where did they get all these new professors? And who were 'they' he was referring to?

Oh I'm fine proffessor thanks, Amy said, as she pulled out her quils, parchment and notebook

Trixie smiled at the professor. "I'm very well thank you. Except for my ankle that is, I just got back from the hospital wing because of it" she giggled slightly. Stupid high heels!! "But other than that I'm brilliant. Very excited for this wonderful lesson" she said. She nodded as he told the class that they would start the lesson in a few minutes as they waited for new students.

"Good day professor Nolan sir." he replied, feeling a bit bad he hadn't said anything when he first entered the room. He was still feeling a bit off since the Potions class and didn't want to say or do anything wrong or right anymore. Smiling at the professor a bit he sighed, wishing he could take out a sugar quill and eat it. He needed sugar.

Carter entered the classroom. "Morning Professor" he said. He looked around for a seat. Spotting Rafe sitting near Destiny and Evelyn he went and sat next to him. He looked at the door for a second wondering if Marie was coming in. He then started making his nametag.

He looked over at Rafe's little drawings and laughed to himself for a moment. Was he bored already?

Heh.

If Destiny had known Evelyn was behind her in the hallway, she would have waited for her friend to walk in the classroom first before she attempted it. And of course Evelyn was laughing at her..even if her friend wasn't making any type of noise, Destiny knew..pffft.

A little snort escaped as the Professor asked if she was alright. Was she alright? She just got clobbered by a wall! "Yup, I am fine!" she said and gave him a thumbs up, "I found my glasses! They were on..the top of my head..the whole time." The one place she forgot to look.

As Rafe said hello to her and Evelyn, Destiny wanted to jump under her desk and HIDE. She hadn't forgot how he almost set her ABLAZE in thier first year. She gave a little nod in his direction..

He must be related to Professor Lafay.. O__o

Captain Greenwood – no one called him that. It sounded funny.. but also cool. “Hello, sir.” He said with a broad grin as he settled into his seat and made himself comfortable ready for class to start.

Oliver, who was in a complete trance, didn't even blink when Nancy waved her hand in front of his eyes. 'Sigh'. He sighed, only coming back into the real world when Brody sat down.

Eyes on Nancy and those moles of hers, Oliver was about to answer her mouthed 'WHAT!?' when something connected with the back of his head. That something being Torin Kane's hand! He jumped. “OW!” He complained. “Jeez!” He pulled a rather petulant face and glared at the yellow prefect. “What was that for?” He rubbed the back of his head – it didn't hurt but what the hey.. may as well milk it for all it's worth. Heh.

His expression smoothed out when the professor reprimanded Torin and the half smile that was usually etched to his face returned. “Ha ha” He muttered like Nelson Muntz and prodded the boy between the shoulder blades with his finger. Don't mess with His Awesomeness. Hehe.

Iris walked into the Divination classroom, a little unenthusiastically. It wasn't really her best class. Or her favourite. She looked around, glad to see that she was just about on time for class. "Hullo Professor." She said to the professor politely as she entered the room.

She smiled at Jimbo as she passed him, knowing that his sugar rush STILL hadn't gone away. She was about to sit next to him, when she spotted Aaron instead. So she made her way over there, instead. Giving Aaron a small smile as she sat down. Quickly writing her name and stuff of a piece of parchment, she folded it in half and stood it up on her desk.

Now... let the lesson begin.

"Don't laugh," Rafe whispered. "I'm just expanding my creativity a bit, that's all." But, Rafe couldn't help, but chuckle himself. It was pretty ridiculous, but the professor seemed to take notice, that was pretty cool.

Rafe wasn't that surprised that he just got a nod from Destiny. He wanted to apologize again, but this wasn't the time or place. But, in a way he kind of prepped her for what happened. Not that, that justified his actions. He turned back to Carter and whispered, "I still think she hates me for almost setting her on fire."

He turned back to look at Oliver and rolled his eyes. "That so didn't hurt." Because he didn't do it hard. And Oliver knew why he was hit anyway. Even though Torin wasn't really angry or anything, his girlfriend wasn't a piece of meat to drool over.

And now he was being told off by Nolan. He nodded towards the teacher and ignored Oliver poking him.

Ellie ran into the classroom. She had decided at the last possible moment (literally) to try and at least attend the first Divination lesson. She hoped she wasn't late. When she entered, she just saw everyone sitting and looking around. A sure sign class hadn't started yet.

She gave the professor a sheepish smile.

Upon sitting down, she noticed everyone with name tags and copied.

"Erm...thanks?" Nolan said, wrinkling his dark brows a bit. He should take that as a compliment, right? He was essentially saying he looked young, yes? That was a good thing! Nolan tried to ignore the fact he was aging. Blehh.

"Well, I'm glad you're looking forward to it!" Nolan replied with grin. He'd get started in just a minute, once he finished addressing the students.

"Hello, Mister Phillips," he said with a polite smile.

"Oh...good to hear," Nolan said with a smile. He didn't want anyone else getting injured. He'd had plenty of that since he'd gotten here!

"Good day Miss Beaumont," Nolan greeted the Slytherin.

OOC: Class has officially started, so please no chatter. Anyone who RPs themselves being late after this post will have to face the consequences. Please just pretend you were here the whole time, and make a "nametag" in a quote box in your first post, please! :]

"Alright, I think it's safe to say we've got just about everyone. Now, let me introduce myself to those of you who don't know me--my name is Professor Reynolds, and I'm your new Divination professor. Now, I'm sure that some of you here probably don't have an interest in divination--or you simply think it's a load of rubbish. I can assure you, I'm not going to try and drill the idea into your head that everything you observe in this class is accurate. I just ask that you give it your best effort, whether or not you believe that your readings really DO show the future or not," he said. It hurt him to think that people doubted something he KNEW was true, but that couldn't be helped. Sigh.

He hopped off his desk and started to pace in front of the room. "First, let's get the basics out of the way--what IS divination? What, in your own words, is a good description of this subject?" he asked.

"It's like using different techiniques and things to tell something about something..." she said, letting her voice trail off.... Who cares?

"Divination is the attempt to foretell events of the future." Rasa raised her hand and displayed her nametag to the professor who seemed nice enough. This class looked like it was going to be interesting.

Amy put up her hand, Professor is divination when we try to define what will happen in the future for ourselves and others by using resorces like um, tea leaves and palms and crystal balls?

Kevin thought and raised his hand and said "Divanation is a study of dreams and fortunes" The professor had asked for the use of own words

Trixie raised her hand. She decided that she had better have a shot at this question. In her personal opinion? Hmm. "Please Sir. For me divination is gathering insights to events that will happen in the future. It teaches methods of divining the future through rituals and tools such as reading tea dregs and visions" she stated. That didn't sound like enough but she would go along with that for now.

Simon raised his hand. "Professor Divination is the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of a standardized process or ritual." Simon smiled at the Professor.
