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.
"There's the Chariot." Mia said with her hand raised and doing her best to ignore the funny little man that was causing absolute chaos in the class. "The meaning for this card is, tact, skill, action, focused and driven."
She picked up one of the cards that had fluttered down onto her table, turned it over and looked at it for a moment before placing it back onto the table.

HAH! SEEEEEE! Rae wasn't completely wrong! "OH! Chariot! I knew it! What now! And when you get chariot on your card...... THEN you have a race, and the winner can tell the future of their love life in their dreams that night." That was it, they were only missing one piece to the puzzle anyways. She turned to the girl who mentioned the chariot and gave her a 'good job' nod.... Along with a smile/smirk/smug look....

Nolan blinked, standing up from his mission to pick up the cards off the floor. "Well, erm, not necessarily...they can tell about horrible future events but not necessarily death, and it certainly isn't their main purpose," he explained.
Oh yeah, there was DEFINITELY some of that Babbling Beverage in the water today. That had to explain all these weird answers he was getting. o_O

Blink.
"Erm, no, the chariot card doesn't mean you need to RACE. If it did I'm sure many people would opt for a form of Divination where less effort was required to get a result," he said with a chuckle.
Note to self. Revise the textbook or something. He didn't know WHERE this stuff was coming from!

Right. There was a new question.
"The Moon, Professor," she said with her hand raised. "It is the 18th card in the deck and is often described as representing life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit."
Was scary Slytherin girl still glaring at her? Kurumi took a quick peak over her shoulder. Yep. *shiver*

Well that narrowed it down to one person...or more correctly ghost. Peeves! Simon almost rolled his eyes at the Polterguists actions having been witness to other sightings even though he hadn't spotted the ghost this time around. He turned his attention back to the professor in question when he spoke up and desplayed the two decks of cards, asking for descriptions on the more popular one.
"There is the Emperor and Empress cards, which usually mean some variation of power and love respectively," he answered.

Louisa was petrified when that ghost appeared. Although she was a witch and in a magical school, she'd never EVER get used to ghosts. That was it. She gasped loudly as the ghost (was it called Peeves?) dropping cards randomly. She silently crouched uner her seat and covered her head. This Peeves thing looked crazy enough to do something totally stupid and she WOULD NOT be fooled by a GHOST, OK? Heh.

She laid the one that had fallen on her head on her table. Then it was raining cards basically. She picked up the ones that fell around her and counted five in all. "Here you go professor," she said extending the cards in her hand. Stupid rude ghost ruining her day.

And her handwriting was almost illegible at the best of times, which this was not. She was too confused to write things neatly.
But.. tarot cards. Okay, THIS she knew about, at least. Her best friend had taken her to a taort lady person in Russia once. That had been... an interesting experience. But she remembered some of the cards that had come up on her reading 'Sir, they have the tower, which means a change, or upheaval... I think. And Death, which means - well, death, or change. And the Priestess, which is knowing' yeah. Though she wasn't knowing, and she certainly hadn't died. The change part was right, though - that had been the week before she was told they were moving to England.
Pfft. Now Peeves was throwing stuff everywhere? Viky was all for the writing on the board - hey, that was a little bit funny, at least - but that was uncalled for. She was sitting near the front, so a few cards landed around her. She picked them up, and held them out to the Proffessor. There were about five in her hand 'Here you go, Sir' she said wirh a polite smile

Alice bent down and picked up the cards that were around where she was sitting. She got up and headed towards Professor Reynolds. "Here you go Professor Reynolds. That ghost truly is rude!"

Em frowned as Peeves returned. Why couldn't he interrupt a boring class instead of one her favorites? Then he dropped a card on her. How Rude! She went to pick it up, but edge slipped along her finger and gave her a paper cut. "ouch!" she exclaimed, as she saw blood start to escape the cut.

Er, but this was a class....so....he stopped the clapping, and blushed again.
Picking out a card that was now on his right shoulder. "Er, how about the Sun, Professor?" he said, with a nod, "It represents energy, enlightenment, and all things that symbolize the sun, depending on how you interpret it" another nod, and another card was on his lap.
Haha. Fun!

"There is the Hanged Man card. It represents surrender, sacrifice, submission, letting go of something perhaps...anything related to that." Stuff like that. Hmm, for a subject she took no interest in, why did she keep reading about it? Surely it wasn't all because of Josh.
Or was it?
Raising a brow at the now visible peeves, Evelyn chuckled as the cards he picked up flew everywhere, dropping on people's heads, tables, and the floor.
Hmm yes, gotta love Peeves.
As long as he wasn't flicking spiders at them, it was all good. Glancing at the card landing on their table, she turned it over to see which it was before going back to staring at the professor. Was he going to freak out?
She knew Dodson would freak out, though Reynolds wasn't the Herbology professor. No matter how much they sorta looked a like.

She picked up one of the cards that had fluttered down onto her table, turned it over and looked at it for a moment before placing it back onto the table.
"Good answers, to all of you!" he called as he stood up, his Celestial cards all in a nice deck once more, but as soon as he regained his balance...he saw the other deck was missing.
ARGGGGGGG!
Peeves was becoming harder and harder to ignore, especially when he grabbed the card deck off of Nolan's desk and started flinging it around the room. THE CHAOS! Nolan stood up and grabbed his wand. "Accio Major Arcana cards!" he said, watching the cards flew into a somewhat organized pile in his open palm.
"Thank you for picking those up," Nolan said with a smile as the students who had gotten hit in the head by his cards brought them up. He placed them back on his desk and looked up at Peeves. "PEEVES! Stop this nonsense, or I'll get the Baron to deal with you!"
He'd heard somewhere that that was a pretty good way to calm him down. Apparently he scared him or something.

Pam's eyes lit with excitement as the cards magically flew into the proffessor's hands. That was so cool! She just hoped that Peeves didn't get to her. She didn't need any pain.

Well... "So, they tell only tell about bad things? Why don't they just tell us we're gonna die, then!?!" Might as well.
Oh, POUT. "Don't ruin the funnnn! You know this class needs excitement!" And, Ellie wasn't too keen on meeting the Bloody Baron.

Treyen grinned. He knew about the whole Bloody Baron and Peeves situation. Actually, during the summer, he'd talk about that with Fletcher and Melanie.
What are the odds?
His eyes went to Ellie. And the boy chuckled. What a fun to tell the Professor that if Peeves was not in the class, then the class wouldn't be fun. Odd.
He always had fun no matter what during Divination, and he always left more confused than ever.
HAHAHA. Silly Four Eyes thought he could threaten him! PSSH. This professor didn't scare him, even with his threats...look at him! He was wearing a checkered sweater! Surely he couldn't be THAT dangerous!
"HEHEHE. You think you can scare MEEEEE?" he asked, sticking his tongue out at the dude. "Nice try Four Eyes!" he cackled before going invisible again.
HMMMM. What to do now? Maybe there was something else fun in the professor's man bag...being as quiet as a poltergeist could, he INVISIBLY went over to the man's open bag, digging around inside it and making the SMALLEST amount of noise possible...
Hopefully the man was oblivious to the rummaging going on in his bag right now. If anyone was paying any attention though, they'd notice it moving around by itself. Cause he was INVISIBLE!

No matter how fun Peeves was being with the cards and all, he didn't like it when he called Professor Nolan 'Four Eyes', because....technically, he didn't have his glasses today...soooooo...
His eyes did narrow, there was something moving around the Professor's bag, do you think Nolan will notice? Did the Professor have a Pygmy Puff in there? Treyen wondered what color Pygmy Puff would Nolan had chosen.
Maybe yellow? Because the yellow ones were rather cute. Not to mention, Hufflepuff-like.
The boy kept his eyes on the bag, and the wand at hand, what if the bag exploded all of the sudden? Like the cauldrons in Potions? Yeah, he needed to be ready for anything.

"Fun? I hardly think this is FUN," Nolan mumbled. Oh, right, she'd asked a question as well. "No, they don't only tell about bad things, many times the cards tell the person giving the reading about good events too!" he assured her.
No one was going to DIE in this class. Even if Peeves WAS floating around causing chaos.

GOOD. He was gone...for the time being. Nolan had a sinking feeling that he KNEW the silly creature would be back again. Oblivious to the fact that his bag was MOVING, he turned back to the board and started to write down some notes.
"The Tower, good job Patroclus!" he exclaimed rather loudly, trying to get the class back on track. Peeves had gotten him all frazzled! "If you'd all like to copy down the list of cards up here, I've provided their numbers and their corresponding symbol," he explained, quickly copying the notes onto the board for the class.

He turned back to the class after he was finished and cleared his throat. "I'd advise you all to just...ignore our visitor for the time being. Don't give him the satisfaction and I'm sure he'll clear off," he explained. Except there was obvious apprehension in Nolan's voice...this was PEEVES after all. Who knew what he'd do next?

Simon was already trying to do his best to ignore the poltergeist as well as he could. The flying cards certainly an annoying trick but thankfully not too harmful when they fell on him and relatively easy to clean up with help and magic. As Professor Reynolds wrote the list on the board, the Gryffindor boy did as suggested as proceeded to take more notes on the subject.

Pam wrote down what was on the board. Trying to ignore Peeves. Geeze it was hard. He was such a distraction!
"Good, points to all of you," Nolan said with a smile as he finally located the Celestial deck and the Major Arcana deck that he had stowed safely in his bag for todays lesson. "As many of your classmates have pointed out, there are MANY different types of decks out there...including the gummy bear deck," he added with a grin as he glanced at Treyen. "In fact, people are starting to decorate cards in almost any design they'd like...for example, one of my favorite decks is the Lord of the Rings deck, which has been decorated with characters and scenes from the popular Muggle book series. This one I have here is a Celestial deck, which mixes astrology with cartomancy to get a wider variety of readings," he explained, taking out the deck and fanning it out to show some of the designs on the cards.
"Funny how none of you mentioned the most popular, and most traditional, deck," he added with a small chuckle, taking out the Major Arcana cards. "This is the Major Arcana, one of the most popular and most recognized decks used today. Can anyone tell me what some of the cards are? And what their meanings are?" he asked.
Something, however, seemed to be capturing the students attention behind him. WHAAAT was going on?? "Thebes?" Nolan questioned when the young Ravenclaw boy seemed to shout that out. WHY would he be shouting out the names of random ancient Greek city-states? Had Babbling Beverages been served at breakfast or something?
He heard some giggling, then nearly jumped a FOOT in the air as someone blew a raspberry RIGHT behind his ear. HOLY MERLIN WHAT WAS THAT?! Letting out a little shriek, he dropped his Celestial deck on the floor and turned around to see "PROFESSOR REYNOLDS STINKS" written on the board.
Ok. All reason had flown out the window now.
He heard Treyen speak up, and it was like a lightbulb clicked on in his head. OOOOOOH PEEVES! That made much more sense. But now...UGGH. What should he do now?? They'd never covered what to do if Peeves showed up in class. Rolling his eyes, he picked up the eraser and quickly erased the obscene message. He did NOT smell! He showered twice a day. He was probably the nicest smelling person in this room!
"It's alright class...let's continue the lesson and just...keep an eye out for him," he said, bending down to pick up his cards, but never taking his eyes off the chalkboard. Easier said than done, he was sure. "So erm...where we were? Right. Major Arcana. Who can name some of the cards?" he asked.
Preston gave a grin, so it was the Golden Dragon...not the Dragon of Gold. He wrote down the other things that Professor Reynolds talked about. Preston gave a chuckle seeing how he reacted to the happenings of Peeves.
Preston furrowed his eyebrows together, was Peeves still in the room? It made Preston nervous, what if Peeves attacked him! He didn't know many spells, and he wasn't even sure if spells would work on Peeves. He wasn't even sure if he knew where his wand was...
Preston mentally shook his head and focused on the next question. He tapped his pencil against his notebook for a few seconds before raising his hand yet again. "Isn't th-th-there a-a jug-juggler c-c-card?" Preston asked as he lowered his hand back down.

Oh, well, if Nolan didn't mind the moving bag, then he won't either. It was one of the downsides of being seated in the front row, you could see things more clearly, and easily. Of course, that could also be good, but right now, it was a downside.
The boy summoned some of his parchment, because his wand was in his hand, and started to write down what Professor Reynolds had just written on the board. He wrote it quickly, who knew if Peeves was going to erase the board or not.
"Fun? I hardly think this is FUN," Nolan mumbled. Oh, right, she'd asked a question as well. "No, they don't only tell about bad things, many times the cards tell the person giving the reading about good events too!" he assured her.
No one was going to DIE in this class. Even if Peeves WAS floating around causing chaos.
GOOD. He was gone...for the time being. Nolan had a sinking feeling that he KNEW the silly creature would be back again. Oblivious to the fact that his bag was MOVING, he turned back to the board and started to write down some notes.

Don't give him the satisfaction and I'm sure he'll clear off," he explained. Except there was obvious apprehension in Nolan's voice...this was PEEVES after all. Who knew what he'd do next?
Eye roll. "That's because it's your class. See, at our point of view, it's quite entertaining." Truth.
Good stuff too? "Good. Like what?" Ellie asked.
...
GASP! Ellie pointed to the board. "Look! Death! I TOLD you there was death!" Great. Now she WAS going to die.
Maybe, she'd be a second Peeves. Heh.

Patroclus smiled as Professor Reynolds acknowledged his contribution. The boy felt sorry for the Divinations teacher, his lesson had been invaded by a mad man.....well he wasn't really a man.
The lion took up his quill and began to write down the full Arcana Deck.

ARGGGGGGG!
Peeves was becoming harder and harder to ignore, especially when he grabbed the card deck off of Nolan's desk and started flinging it around the room. THE CHAOS! Nolan stood up and grabbed his wand. "Accio Major Arcana cards!" he said, watching the cards flew into a somewhat organized pile in his open palm.
"Thank you for picking those up," Nolan said with a smile as the students who had gotten hit in the head by his cards brought them up. He placed them back on his desk and looked up at Peeves. "PEEVES! Stop this nonsense, or I'll get the Baron to deal with you!"
He'd heard somewhere that that was a pretty good way to calm him down. Apparently he scared him or something.
Alice watched poor Professor Reynolds trying to deal with Peeves. Who knew one ghost could be such a nuisance? Luckily the professor's threat about calling the Bloody Baron scared him off. Alice genuinely wanted Professor Reynolds to be able to teach one lesson without any problems.
Alice picked up her quill and wrote down the list Professor Reynolds put on the board.

Awww, Peeves was here and then he was not. Sad. This made Fletcher very, very sad. He had to nudge Treyen sitting beside him though and whispered, "We should get together with Peeves later, yeah?" Because even though the younger boy had said he wouldn't participate in any pranks (hmmph!) Fletcher had seen his eyes light up when he'd spoken to the ghost. Oh yes. Peeves was AWESOME.
Copying down the notes obediently, Fletcher's eye kind of twitched toward the animated bag on the teacher's desk. What was it DOOOOOOOING? Was there a niffler in there? He was tempted to summon it to him to see but didn't fancy upsetting the poor Divination Dude any more than he already was. He was a cool guy, after all, and had once rescued Fletcher from a hungry plant.

Fletcher glanced down at his notes and then up at the professor. "Sir, is there a reason some of them have like... two meanings?" Or did he just copy the notes wrong? To be sure, the Hufflepuff double-checked himself against both Treyen and the board. Nope, he was on track all right.

Eye roll. "That's because it's your class. See, at our point of view, it's quite entertaining." Truth.
Good stuff too? "Good. Like what?" Ellie asked.
...
GASP! Ellie pointed to the board. "Look! Death! I TOLD you there was death!" Great. Now she WAS going to die.
Maybe, she'd be a second Peeves. Heh.
Ooooh. Ellie.
"Ellie, it is death, indeed, the card, but that doesn't mean one's going to die if you take out that particular card" he said, nodding a little, his tone was oh-so-certain. Then again, some people had died after seeing that card, probably a coincidence.

And someone was nudging him, oh, yes, Fletcher!
Aha!
He knew Fletcher had to be thinking something like that. He could grin, totally do so, but he didn't, even if Peeves visit had been more than entertaining to him. "Maybe" he said, but his eyes held a bit of a mischievous look in them. Ha.

Wha-?
Oh, "Hey Treyen! 'Tis been a while." It had. They should ketchup. "Why is it death, then?! What else could it mean?" Go on, try and answer that one.
Meanwhile, Ellie kept her eye on the self-mobile bag. Yup.

Dum dee dum. Nothing too important in here. Just some silly textbooks, and a couple of blank tarot card decks...BLANK? Silly man, they needed stuff ON THEM...AHA! JACKPOT! The professor had left his GLASSES in his bag! Success!
Pulling out the glasses and making himself visible, he placed the glasses on his face and silently floated behind the professor, making silly faces and mimicking the professor's words as he spoke.
He was SO MUCH COOLER LOOKING than the man too. HEHEHEHE!
