Nolan was seated on top of his desk as usual, although he looked much happier than last lesson. He wasn't wearing his glasses today and had instead opted for contacts, but he made up for his lack of style by wearing a stylish checkered cardigan. Yeah. He looked awesome.
Whistling merrily to himself, he drummed his fingertips on the top of his desk as he waited for the students to arrive.

As the professor started the lesson, Simon paid attention raising his hand to answer. "Cartomancy is the art of divination using a set of cards, either playing cards, french piquet cards or a special set created for the specific purpose," he replied lowering his hand.
"Alright, I think we're going to get started," he announced, bouncing off his desk and heading to the chalkboard. "I'm sure a number of you have already guessed what today's lesson is going to be about, but nonetheless we need to touch the basics of what we're studying, even though some of you are probably very familiar with this subject already. Can anyone tell me what Cartomancy is?" he asked the class.
Fletcher sat next to him, and Treyen smiiiiiled, smiled! But, let's hope he's good in Divination?
The Huffie boy eyed the Professor curiously. Contacts? What did he mean?
He was about to ask that, but then...oh! The class was starting! The boy raised his hand up, up, up in the air. Yes! Cards! "Professor, with Cartomancy one interprets cards, as in...a deck of cards...for divination purposes" and it would be suuuuper fuuuuun!
"Erm, the study of a deck cards to to predict the future, most commonly tarot cards though people have used many different decks far as I've read", Chloe responded raising her hand high.
hmm, Cartomancy. The word reminded Em of cartography, so think, think think. What was similar to maps? Em raised her hand. "Is it card r-reading?" she asked.

Moooooooo. :) || Have a supermegafoxyawesomehot Christmas.
Ugh, a hard question already. However, the word did remind her of something...she has seen Muggles use cards to read fortune telling before. "Car-to-mancy" sounds like it can be related to cards. "Is it predicting the future using cards?" she said.
Mia raised her hand in the air. "Cartomancy is card reading. It is similar to tarot reading but a normal deck of cards is used. Years ago they used them for prophecies." Wouldn't it be cool know what your future held in a pack of cards?

Oh cooooool. Fletcher knew what cart-o-mancy was. Totally. He could figure it out just from hearing the word.
Ignoring all the same answers from all the people around him, Fletcher smugly raised his hand. "It's predicting the future by reading a map. Yeah. You sit on a cart and meditate for a bit, and then you hafta make and read the map of your future."
It was all about mapping the future. Duhhh. Silly other students, mixing up cartomancy and cartography. Fletcher was so much smarter than the rest of them.

Freya pulled out her parchment and quill from her bag. She put them down in the desk. She heard Professor Reynolds asked them about Cartomancy. They gonna learn Cartomancy today??Wooohooo..
She raised her hand before saying "Cartomancy is the art of foretelling the future or divination using a deck of cards, sir."

"Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. It appeared in Europe in the 14th century soon after playing cards were first introduced." Marie said as she raised her hand.
She then decided it was time to get her notebook out and take some notes.
Her voice was like nails in his head, but he drowned it out.
"Professor Cartomancy is the practise of divining or foretelling by the use of a deck of cards, the style of cards used have changed over the centuries, causing differentiations in methods, but all really leading to the same conclussion. For example the french used the Piquet Cards, The English the standard 52 deck, but they can also include the use of the joker."
And here came the Son of a Tomb Raider part, "It is believe by some that the practise originated in ancient Eygpt."

What did he say???
"Dude Fletch... no no no no..." he said as he lazily waved his hand at his friend. "Cartomancy dude... its the celebrated Art of Romantic Cartwheeling! You do this great stunt and then out of nowhere, you pull out a big bouquet of roses as a finish!" he smirked. Gee of all the people who should've known that, he expected Fletcher would.

Fletcher had to fight back a really, really loud snort at Salander's answer. He actually put his head down in his arms on his desk and still ended up making a sound somewhere between a laugh and chortle.
"Bless me," he muttered, raising his head enough to grin at his friend. Yeah play it off like a sneeze, that's the way to go. "I think you may be right. NO WAIT, I remember now. It's when you cartwheel onto a cart and then roll around a giant piece of parchment to draw a map of your future love life. That's what it is, dude. We got this."
He pounded his chest with his fist twice and then peace-signed his homie. They were rawkin Divination.

Rae looked back and forth between her two friends..... Ugh, boys, such idiots.... "Boys boys.... It's obviously when people have a cart or carriage race, and whoever wins will have the future in their dreams that night. Probably a lot of gold comes with this kind of divination..." DUH. And who couldn't use some extra cash in their pockets right?

Sidney raises her hand. "Cartomancy is a form of fortune telling that uses regular cards. The most common deck used is the bridge/poker playing cards (52 card, four suit set). The deck generally includes the joker cards. The French also use the 32-card piquet playing cards. This deck starts with the 52 cards like a regular deck, but all the 2s through 6s cards are removed. This leaves the 7s through 10s, face cards and aces.

Wow.
Raising a brow at the answers being called out, Evelyn kept her ears on their voices instead of Patroclus'. He still was not looking at her. Glancing towards Josh, Evelyn couldn't help that chuckle that escaped her once Rae answered as well.
Really?
If that was true about cartomancy, then why hadn't they been practicing it everyday during their summer at the old, beaten, spider web infested house? Well, not so spider web infested anymore but still... "Geniuses." she muttered, opening her notebook and writing down the topic on the first line of a blank page.

When Rae finished she heard a chuckle coming from Evelyn's direction... Automatically she grinned. OH! Then the nicest compliment came from Evelyn's mouth... She heard her say how Rae was a Genius! That was the best compliment EVER! She had never been called smart let alone a genius! No wonder why she had Evelyn as a friend. So awesome. Rae gave a small fist pump and a "yes!" for her good efforts.

"Gesundheit" he replied to Fletcher as he smirked at him. He listened at Fletcher and laughed, adding quickly "And you hafta use the bouquet of roses to cast the spell on the cart to get it to move, because it is the only way to get it to draw a map of your future romantic quests!" he exclaimed, waving his arm around like it had an imaginary bouquet for a wand. He leaned back at this seat laughing, mirroring the homie gesture back at Fletcher.
Oh then Rae had hers to add "You gotta good point Rae. Of course that gigantic map with your romantic future needs to be interpreted-- and you'll get the meaning of that map when you get a visit from the Goddess of Love in your dream!"
They are so right on this. Pinpoint accuracy. And who says Divination was a foggy subject?

Pshaawwwww! Yeah, they were catching on alright... Oh pat yourself on the back Rae! For the professor is going to give you a bajillion points for figuring THIS one out! And then give Salander 1000 points for adding on... And then give Evelyn 900 points for giving them the genius title... Salander was only one table away... Once he finished Rae smiled widely.. "DUUDEEE.... High five on that!" As she leaned over to high five her intelligent friend.

Kurumi could no longer contain her giggles at the answers being said by the other students. She covered her mouth in hopes that it would help keep her quiet...but it was too funny to resist. She turned around to see who it was that was saying such ridiculous fabulous things, when she saw the scary cookie hating girl still glaring at her and now with an eyebrow raised.
...
...
...
...
*blink blink*
All laugher ceased.
Kurumi returned to her notes and pretended like she was writing stuff down.

Salander chuckled, leaning forward to return Rae's high five. As he leaned back onto his seat he turned to give Evelyn a two-fingered salute. She just called him a Genius. Oh yeah! Divination's got nuthin' on him now!

Alice sat up a bit straighter when she realized that he was going to start class, and took out her quill. She listened as Professor Reynolds asked them what cartomancy was. She raised her hand gently.
"Professor Reynolds, is cartomancy fortune-telling by interpreting a random selection of playing cards?"

Nessa raised her hand "Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. It started in Europe in the 14th centurary and playing cards were commonly used." She said
Raising her hand, "It's telling what the future would be by reading cards." Yep, she was sure 'cause her grandma used to mess around with cards all the time.. not telling future though, just foolin' them to play with her and letting her predict things for them. Meh.
Lila raised her hand. "It's using a deck of cards for fortune telling or divination like tarot. It started after the manufacture of playing cards in the 1300s. At that time people commonly used decks of playing cards to do it," she answered with a smile.
Jack was pleased to be back in Divination, it seemed to be the lesson he was actually good at. Though, if you asked him, he would say he was good at ALL subjects. Teehe. "It's telling your future through cards. And you can get it told through fortune-tellers. Muggles are really fascinated by it, apparentely."
