"Kind of, yes, and for the last one, yes, a lot." she said.

Sapphinelle sharply raised her hand and smiled at Professor Reynolds. She quite liked him, he was very nice.

"I have a dream..."Adam said quietly. He got up from his seat.slowly."There well, this one time I was running away from one of my friends and I got on a moped- a motorcyle and flew away with the girl I like...I know it sounds cheesy, but I just want to know what it really means...The moped was orange and the girl had pink hair- the one that came with me...An I had a fight with the girl that I had run away from..."Adam said, keeping the words Katie and Kurumi out of the dream...

Lol!
 

Ooh Riley wanted to talk infront of the class!!! be center of attention the Gryffindor stood up and cleared his throat dramatically and then began to speak. "Professor this is a dream I had a few nights ago and it caused me to wake up quite severely, but I know it was not a false awakening..." Bonus for using a vocabulary word???

"As I was saying my dream was pretty disturbing. I was packing for school at my home in Dublin when all of a sudden my step father, who is lets just say is a goose short of a gaggle, spilt his pancakes and syrup ALL OVER my favorite white boating shoes!" he let that hang out in the air for all of the other students to ooh and ahhh... "Yeah it was terrible." he nodded.

..............

"Oh right, interpretation." Riley scracthed his cheek for a second and then his eyes lit up again. "Well it obviously meant something bad was going to happen in my packing process or perhaps that a clumsy person around me would try and hamper my trip to Hogwarts, a sticky situation perhaps?" he said almost as a question, he turned to face Professor Nolan.

"Oh please...My dream is much more interesting than yours..Why won't you go check your shows to make sure they are not marked up- boohoo."Adam catcalled him. What a dream, nothing even happened so his shoes got dirty in his DREAM. At least Adam's dream could be his near future...

Anna nodded. she would see how it was relevant. Mostly she thought that she was "falling for someone" eh? Eh? "Cool cool. I can see how that is...soooo...I think we are done. I guess we just sit around...So...how ya doin'?" She asked.

"Girls, we've moved on," Nolan said, glancing at the girls who were still talking amongst themselves. "Please refrain from chatting if you value your lead at the moment," he added.

Man, the beginning of the term was so interesting like that. The leading team had zero points because everyone else was a troublemaker. Hehe.

"Go ahead, you can share your dream and your interpretations," Nolan said with a smile to the Hufflepuff who volunteered.

Nolan thought Riley's dream was very interesting...dreams about clothing was always VERY interesting, when out of nowhere, a very RUDE Gryffindor decided to play a game of 'I can be more immature than you'. Well, that wasn't going to fly. Nolan had been about to ask him about his dream too, and what he thought it meant, but now...he wasn't in the mood. He was already under enough stress as it was, he certainly didn't need this.

"Mister Burn, your jab at Mister Sinclair was completely out of line. His interpretation was actually correct, since I happen to recall an incident with some bubble gum in Diagon Alley?" he asked, grinning at Riley as he spoke. Don't worry little Gryffie, he had this.

"Rather than punish your entire house for little outburst, I think I'm just going to have to teach you some manners myself. Detention in the dungeons, immediately following this lesson," he told him.

SIGH. Ok, now that he'd laid down the law, he looked around. "Anyone else care to share their dreams and interpretations?" he asked. UGGH. This was giving him a migraine, they needed to wrap up soooooon.

Adam stared at the professor a few short seconds then plumped down onto his seat. He was fuming inside. His first detention,ever! He refrained himself from going like a mad monkey."Yes, Professor."He said in a quiet , sorry tone.Though he did NOT say sorry to, was it Riley?

"Well, this one's a bit scary." she said, folding her hands in her lap, and put on a serious face. "Me and my mom were back at home in France, having a wonderful time, going out shopping, then she...she had a heart attack, and I ran to save her... I saved her in time, but she was hospitalized for months. It was dreadful for me to think of. I cried for days on end because of that dream." She said strongly, doing well not to be a total baby and cry. Sapphinelle lifted her head to look at Professor Reynolds. "I'm very overprotective of my mother, and she's been sick for as long as I can remember. It's hard to not think about her a lot, and I'm scared something will happen to her." she said with her french accent in a sad tone.

Bristol was pretty nervous about her first Divination. Nervous......but excited. It happen to be her first class too, which added to her nervousness and excitement. She walked in to the classroom. She walked by the professor "Good, morning, Professor!" She smiled as she took a seat in the second row. She pulled her divination book out ready for class to start.

Arabella-Marie couldnt think of any dreams that she had recently that had happened when she was still sleeping and raised her hand and said "Professor what happens if you can't remember any dreams that you have had recently"

Dianna listened to the Professor. She had dreams, didn't everyone have at least one? But had a question about it.
"Professor, how do dreams begin? I mean I don't remember how my dreams ever started or how I got into that dream." Dianna asked as she lowered her hand.

Ahhhh catching up!
 

Rae left her parchment with the dream sitting on the table while she took Evelyn's dream and started reading it assuming they were partners. Heh, sheep. Rae wondered how this dream could be interpreted.... She kept looking back and forth at the list "Professor, could I share?"

Patroclus was taking by surprise, by a super cute giggle to his side, turning to see it was Neptuna Bott - a person Patroclus had been dying to meet (he heard go things)- the boy allowed a smile to wrap it's way across his face.

Taking his parchment, he handed it to Miss Bott, then took her and began to read.

Thinking better than to laugh out loud, in case it hurt Neptune's feeling, Patroclus was in hysterics, on the inside, "Your Dream is great!" He whispered so to not interupt Prof. Reynolds.

On the bottom of her age, he quickly wrote down so re-occruing symbols.

Haunesta walked into class. She looked around and stared. "Ugg," she grumbled. School. She sat down at a seat and took out her crystal ball. all she saw was her making out with the head amster. :lol:

Nolan blinked. Oh my. That was a nightmare if he ever heard of one. "I'm so sorry, I'm sure that mustn't have been pleasant," he remarked. Obviously it wasn't pleasant. But still...what did one say to that?

"I'd recommend thinking back to the first dream you can remember," he said. "Everyone dreams during the night, sometimes 4 or 5 times in one night! Unfortunately, some people remember their dreams more often than others," he added with a small frown.

"You often don't remember how dreams begin," Nolan explained to Dianna. "The things you remember are often the highlights of the dream, the things that are really memorable. It's not uncommon to have gaps when you're trying to write down the dream, where the action suddenly changes and makes no sense," he added.

Nolan smiled at Rae. He never saw her participate in class much...he must have an interesting lesson for her to start now! SUCCESS. "Of course Miss Rae, go ahead. Your's will be the last dream we hear before I assign homework," he said, sitting back on his desk.

Nolan's attention was suddenly drawn to not one, but TWO new arrivals to the class. They had nearly missed the entire lesson and just walked in late, announcing their arrival. They did not seem to notice that the class was already in session, but still -- this was one too many distractions and he just couldn't let it slide anymore.

"Girls, the class is already in session...in fact, it's nearly over with. 1 point from Slytherin and another from Gryffindor for tardiness," he said with a sigh.

Maybe next lesson he'd use scented candles or something to keep them alert to what was going on. Or maybe he'd get the gong out again. THAT was always an option.

Kurumi looked at Adam and all she could do was blink in shock. Did...did Adam just get a detention? She was going to have to talk to him about that when he was done with it...She hadn't seen him make that sort of outburst before, at least not one so negative...Kurumi went back to looking at her list and trying to figure out what her dream meant. When she was ready, she would raise her hand and tell the professor.

Ooc: unable to post for a few more hours...Japan time zone messing with posting along with everyone else...

"Thanks professor." Dianna smiled as she got to work.
Dianna was still working on her dream interpretation when she saw Hermione.
"Hey Hermione, want to be partners?" she asked. "Now I remember seeing stars in my dream.." she said as she opened her book.

mind the tardiness
 

Mmmhmm. He could use that dream. Perfect!

Okay, Treyen began to write.

BROOM - new home; new era in your life.
FLY - an annoying person.
TREE - alone = family, roots, heritage

The boy's mouth turned into an 'O'. Interesting, rather interesting. But it seemed mostly impossible that every time he stepped into the Divination classroom all the answers were family related.

And every time they had something to do with a new era.

With a frown, the Huffie boy raised his hand, "Professor, I think what my dream is telling me is that there's still so much to learn about myself that I haven't learned yet" he stared at the paper, "And that perhaps I should dig deeper into it?" the annoying part could resemble the 'dig' part, since most of those people, the meddlers, were considered annoying.

He rested his case, and his hand.

Evelyn...was falling asleep...

It seemed that this class did that to her. Which was a shame too because she was really interested in the topic that the professor was teaching them. And she would've fallen asleep too if she hadn't felt her parchment being pulled out from under her arm that her head was currently using as a pillow.

Whaaat?! Rae was reading her interpretation of her dream!? Her, Evelyn's, Dream!? OUT LOUD!?

WHAT!?

" i would like to share my dream" Rex told Professor Reynolds. "Sorry about my Gryffindor housematesmates, but I am sure the prefects will talk to them" Rex said to Professsor Reynolds. " If this part of the lesson is over, then I will not divulge my dream" Rex explained to Professor Reynolds.

"Oh I seeeee." Jack nodded. He ... had bones so that's why Kale could use that as an interpretation. He didn't know it would be so hard, because it just looked like he was going to have a bad future. Guess zombie wasn't written about in the text book. Meh.

"OOOOH. Can I read mine out, Professor?" He asked with his hand raised. Jack was going to do it anyway, everybody else was. "I was running away and being attacked by zombies, they're like .... inferius and stuff." Yeah, pretty grim. "I was using bats to defend myself, which represents an alert, so I should be cautious about something happening, something amongst people I'm close with."

No fun? But that was just NOT fun at all. Sigh. Enya put her head in her hands and well did nothing. how was talking fun!? It was not! And Louisa telling her what to do really wasn't fun anymore. She felt she needed to tell the girl that. Soon! Enya turned towards Louisa to say it, but she didn't. Louisa had spoken first.

"Detention's fun Louisa. And i couldn't care less about house points" She told the girl folding her arms. True. Sticking by rules bored her, and was no fun. While she sat their talking she concluded she was going to go show Carin her dream - even if it was at the end of the lesson.

But talk? Bah. Boring. But what else could she do? There was nothing to do! Lesson's were boring. Sigh. "Fine.." She huffed. "What do you want to talk about?" She asked her best friend.

Lucy looked around to see whom could she pair up to. "Hey, i'm Lucy, i need a partner, can i join you?" she asked.

Cass looked around the room. She didn't have a partner...what was she going to do?

"I would like to share my dream", fee said as she raised her hand.

" I had a picnic with my best friends at home. It was summer and we all were enjoying the food, i ate grapes, as suddenly some creature came out of nowhere and took my friends with it as hostage. I wanted to help them but i couldnt move."
Fee shudderd as she remembered her dream. It was terrible.

She quickly turned Hey! Oh,sure, i want to be your partner. Great! And my name is Jacqueline nice to meet you.''she was so excited and shook girl's hand.

Cass had noticed that Fee just announced her dream to the class, so instead if begging someone to be her partner, she decided to copy her friend's example. she raised her hand and said "I would like to share my dream too." She took the parchment that she had written on earlier and read from it.

"nice to meet you too" she took a seat "so do you wanna start with your dream or mine?"

Patroclus exploded into laughter, Neptune was seriously hilarious!

Wiping a tear from his eye, he stretched out his hand and took back the parchment containing his dream, "Let me see.....wow Neptune you are incredible, you can read me like a book," he smiled, laughter creeping back into his features.

Breathing a sigh of reflection, then bursting into a new set of laughter, Patroclus noted Nep's wink.

"Miss Bott, are you asking me out?" He asked, his face deadpan despite the laugh at screamed with in.

Yes.. So Professor told Rae she could share, and Evelyn was just waking up, and Rae didn't come to a conclusion about what her dream means. Here we go. "Well.... Er.. Evelyn's dream has a lot to do with sheep... That means a peaceful person... It also talks about a box... So uhh.. The dream means that Evelyn is going to receive a gift, from a peaceful person.... Right?" Of course, there was a lot more to her dream. However being the kind of student that Rae has always been, this is what she got from it. It was worth a try right?

Alice raised her hand to share her dream. Perhaps Professor Reynolds could offer some settling perspective.

"Professor Reynolds, would you mind looking at my dream? I'm not really sure I am following what it means." Alice held out the piece of parchment to the Professor, not sure if he would want her to share with the whole class or not.



"I see it has snake which means someone I shouldn't trust, but I'm not sure what the other aspects of the dream symbolize."

Lucy looked at the girl not having a partner "Hi! i'm Lucy, you can join me, if you want?" she said

"Very good interpretation, Mister Lockhart," Nolan said with a grin. Man, this kid was always on fire in his class. He was so good at Divination!

Another rather...interesting dream. but a very good interpretation of it as well. "Excellent job!" Nolan complimented her with a smile.

"Since we're running short on time, I'm going to ask you to refrain, but since I already read your dream I can tell you that I personally enjoyed it and your interpretation," Nolan told Rex with a chuckle.

Elvis was awesome.

Nolan laughed. "Sounds like one of those old Muggle movies...very good work interpreting that," he told the Slytherin.

Oh my. That was...more like a nightmare. "Goodness...I really do hope that doesn't happen in real life," Nolan said.

Well DUH. No one wanted that to happen in real life! He should have mentally prepared himself better than his lesson.

Another nightmare! Nolan blinked a few times and cleared his throat. "That sure sounds quite troubling...thank you for sharing," he told her.

These kids knew what Calming Draught was, right? It sounded like some of them needed it!

Oh, a happy dream! "Yes, good interpretation! Good for Evelyn too, yes?" he said with a chuckle.

"Well, if you can't figure out what the other symbols are, you can break them down. For example, while forest may not be on the list, trees are, so you can use that as one of your symbols. Sometimes dreams may only have one or two symbols in them that you can actually interpret as well," he explained.

Just when Nolan thought all the craziness had died down, he noticed a few girls...a fair few of them, just NOW starting to partner up. Sighing and running a hand over his eyes under his glasses, he cleared his throat. "Ladies? We've moved on from the partner portion of this lesson and we're listening to people share their dreams. Please cease your interpretations and pay attention," he told them.


Ok, this was the final straw.

Nolan hopped off of his desk and crossed his arms. "Miss Mayberry, we've moved on with the lesson. Meaning you should be listening to your classmates and showing them respect rather than chatting. Two points from Ravenclaw," he told her.



OOC: Sorry if I'm making Nolan seem overly harsh, but you guys have GOT to pay attention to what I'm posting. I know for a fact I posted over two pages ago that we were wrapping things up and we'd moved on to sharing our dreams. I apologize if I didn't make things clear enough in my posts, but if it was simply a matter of you not reading my posts and paying attention, PLEASE try and do this in the future lessons. Sometimes you may need to read a few pages to catch up, but it's definitely worth it and takes away a distraction from the other students when people are chatting and RPing something we'd stopped pages ago. Also, it frustrates ME because I feel you guys are just skimming my posts...I don't post just to see myself post, you know :] *hugs*

This is a polite request to EVERYONE. Please READDD. This has happened more than a few times this lesson :[



Now stressed to the point that his back hurt due to their failure to listen to him, he took a deep breath and kindly smiled at them. Just because he was annoyed didn't mean he should be a jerk to the rest of the class.

"I think the time has come to excuse you for the day. Please pack up your things, and there is no need to turn in your interpretation -- keep them for your notes. I was keeping track of who was participating," he told them. "Homework will be posted in a few minutes, which also brings me to my next point of business."

"This semester, you'll have a term long project, and I'm sure many of you have already guessed it--we'll be keeping dream diaries this term," he told them with a grin. FINALLY they'd reached the part of the lesson he was thrilled about! "In case you haven't noticed, there's a bookcase outside with numerous dream diaries completely blank and ready to be written in...and one of the best parts is that, when you take a diary and begin to write in it, it is YOUR diary, and won't open for anyone else, except for me since I need to grade them," he explained. So, no need to worry about privacy being violated!

"More exact details will be given when I post the homework, but the gist of the assignment is this: You'll need to record THREE dreams in your diary over the course of the year. Don't interpret them, just write them down. Later in the year, we'll interpret them as part of the final. You have all year to do it, so don't fret about getting them all done at once!" he explained. "Just don't forget about them!"

"So, let's see...homework...dream diary assignment...I think that's it. See you all next lesson! I'll be in my office if you have any questions about the homework or the dream diary assignment," he added.

Danika smiled when the Professor sent a student to detention. She was starting to like him just by that, no one should be so bold, and the boy needed to learn his lesson.

Sadly, though, it was a Gryffindor she'd recently met.

The Gryffindors weren't making a great impression on her so far. Only a couple of them.

While what was being said in the class she already knew, it was still amusing to hear what people thought their dreams meant. And even more amusing to see the faces of those whose dreams were being told without their consent. Like the Slytherin girl over there.

She continued to listen, nonetheless. Until the class had apparently finished.

DIARIES ?!

WHEEEE. Callie loooved diaries. And the idea of a diary that no one else, 'sept Professor could open sounded awesomeeeee. She was super excited. Meh. She actually didn't care about getting homework if it was fun stuffs like thisss. She smiled as Professor Reynolds said they could go. She packed away her stuff and turned to Trix. "Thanks." she said smiling at the older girl before getting up and heading to the door of the classroom. "Bye professor have a good day!"

" Thanks for reading my dream interpertation" Rex told Professor Reynolfs. " I am glad you liked it" Rex said to the professor.

Enya stared at the Professor. He had taken 2 points for no reason! None at all. Only she and Louisa were talking because they had finished there work. Oh god she hated school even more now, it was just unfair. She piped up.

"Professor! We've done the work. Were only talking to pass the time" She argued. It was just unfair! He shouldn't have taken points! Sigh. She even pushed her work towards the Professor as proof.

But now they were being given homework. Diaries!? But they were just so boring! Gah! How was she to write all her dreams? She didn't want to, it was all private and all! Damn! She already hated all this. Sigh.

Standing up she shoved all her things into her bag and stormed towards the door, taking a diary with her....

occ; To be fair Enya did do all the work, and that they were only passing the time and all. And i've read all your post's

Treyen nodded, still frowning a bit. Yes, there was so much he still needed to learn. Sigh. And so much to research. Then again, he liked that, didn't he? The time, however, didn't seem to be such good friend with him.

Everything was written in his parchment, and the class was over now. But, waaaaait. DIARIES? Oh my Gilderoy! That was like super awesome! His first book! Treyen grinned, and placed everything in his bag (very messy, one must add) with all the excitement about the journal. "Wicked!" he will write his first book. For a moment there he wondered at what age did Gilderoy wrote his first book, because it would be a great coincidence if the man had also been thirteen. "Thanks for the lesson, Professor!" he said, as he stood up to get his journal.

Awesomeness. He took a black one before heading towards the stairs and leaving the tower. The color didn't give much away, black was good. He was NOT taking the pink one.

Arabella-Marie smiled and packed up her things and thought right dream diary that would be easy to keep hopefully on her way out she picked up a pink journal and put it in her bag and said "Thanks Professor for the wonderful lesson" Arabella-Marie headed towards the stairs on her way back to the common room

"Bye!" Nolan called the students who left. He then turned his attention to Enya, who was not happy about losing house points. He didn't blame her, losing points wasn't usually people's goal during the day, but still, he had his reasons.

"I believe that you finished your work," he said with a head nod. "I don't doubt that. I took the points for chatting...I announced some time ago that I was asking people to share their dreams with the class. Even if you were finished and just trying to pass the time, we had moved on with class and you should have been paying attention to the students who wanted the class to hear their dreams and their interpretations," he explained.


OOC: As Nolan said, the point loss was for chatting -- it had nothing to do with finishing the classwork or not. It's only 2 points, and you can easily earn them back by doing the homework :]

Selena packed up her stuff, stuffing everything into her messenger bag then slinging it on one shoulder. "Thanks for the lesson, professor, I'm looking forward to the assignment," Selena said with a smile, "have a nice remainder of the day," she said, waving at the professor and then leaving.

Louisa grabbed Enya from her elbow and smiled up at the Professor, "We apologize Professor, we won't do that again. Have a good day." She said and dragged her friend along with her. Yeah, she wouldn't risk Enya arguing with the teacher which would cause Ravenclaw to lose the cup by -100 points. Heh.

Keefer just shook his head in a bemused fashion. Sometimes he just couldn't believe Neptune. She was the epitome of all things Girly!girl. I hope she wasn't trying to imply that Professor Nolan smelled bad... he thought. Or maybe she, like himself, just thought that Nolan had just been through a trying end of a class period and could use some R&R.

With a final scribble in his homework planner, he packed up and headed towards the door. "Thanks for the lesson, Professor Nolan. I'm really excited for this dream diary project! See you around!" And with that, he walked back down the staircase and headed for the common room.

"Goodbye professor" Amy said as she gathered her things and headed for the door "I can't wait to start the dream journal"

Amy scribbled down her interpretation of the dream and handed her her own dream on a scrap of parchment

Pam wrote down the interpritation. "Well it looks like you'll have wealth, and go on a beach vacation, but along the way will have an obsticle to new opportunity, and some choices to make." she told her.

"Thank you Professor, " Rowan said, "And I apologize for my fellow Ravenclaw's rudeness," she blushed and made her way to the door wondering if it was possible to be sorted into another house.

Amy nodded, thats cool she grinned, turning as she heard the professor talking about their homework and packing up, she stood up and walked over to the professor, scribbiling down her homework, so professor, is the dream diary going to be the only homework we get the whole of the term? She willed it too, that would be easy then

"No, you'll have other assignments as well, but I've tried to make them smaller so you have more time to focus on the dream diary," Nolan explained as he picked up the rest of his own things.

"Have a nice day!" he called to the students leaving.

Oh ok Amy nodded, slightly dissapointed, homework wouldn't be so easy anymore, well bye professor, she called picking up her bag and walking out of the door, picking up one of the diaries as she left

"Bye Proffesor Renoylds! I can't wait to start the dream diary! It sounds fun. Have a nice day" she said as she was by the door with her stuff. Wewt! No hard homework!

What?

She was going to get a gift? That was basically the only thing she heard out of all of that since she was still rubbing the sleep from her eyes, but it was a nice surprise. WOOOT! She was going to get a gift! From...a peaceful person.

Peaceful as in, quiet, shy, and like...sleepy peaceful? Or one of those weird 'i love nature and trees' peaceful person?

And, it was time to go. Awesome.

Packing up her stuff, in a good mood too seeing as it felt she JUST walked into the classroom, she kept an ear open for what the professor was saying, making sure to make a mental note to write all that down later. Dream diary. Even more awesome.

Standing up, the Slytherin quickly took her parchment back from Rae and stuffed it in her bag too. She didn't really need it right? It was more important to Evelyn then to Rae anyways. Haha. "See ya later Rae." she muttered before making her way out of the room, keeping her head down.

No eye contact with the professor. He probably noticed the dozing off. Next time, she was going to stuff herself with sweets before class. She may not like it, but it'll keep her awake!

Dianna packed all her things in her bag. She was excited for this dream diary.
"Thanks Professor for the wonderful lesson!" Dianna said as she left with a wave of her hand.

Patroclus was once again siezed by laughter, Neptune had him in stitches.

Trying to calm his face, the boy pretended to act ashamed, as he was berated for suggesting such a thing.
"Can you ever forgive me?" he fluttered his eyebrows, but it was too late.

Neptune was gone.

Packing his things, Patroclus smiled at the Professor, "Thanks for a great lesson." Scopping up his bag, and hanging it off his right shoulder, he made for the door.

All this talk of sleep, had made him tired.

"That is one possibility," Nolan answered as he finished gathering his things. "Reoccurring dreams can definitely be trying to signal that they are important and need to be noted, but sometimes, if a person has the same dream twice or more, they may continue to think about it so much that, when they go to sleep, it creeps back up in the subconscious simply because it's on your mind," he told her.

Cassandra collected her things while keeping her eyes downcast...she just got scolded in class, oh well at least she didn't lose any points for Slytherin...that would be terrible..

Noting that just about everyone had left, Nolan slung his bag over his shoulder and sighed. He needed to take a nap or something to get rid of this pounding headache. Grabbing his materials out of his bag so he could post the assignments on the house bulletin boards, he walked out of the classroom and closed the door, locking it behind him.
