Lucy was listening carefully to what Helena said about the problem thing "hmm, okay, that sounds a bit better to me. Thanks Helena" she said and smiled "So do you have any doubts?" she asked her to see if she could help her too.

"Until now, no," said Helena, smiling. "But I will ask you when I'll have a doubt. You know, you make Divination fun for the Divination-disasters like me." Well, it is true, she thought.

Jake nodded at Bishop and reached for his bag when she said they were all done. Treyen was already gone, thank Merlin, so Jake wasn't tempted to hit him around the head with his bag.

"Thanks for the information," he smiled slightly at the woman, shouldering his bag properly and referring the answers he'd got. "Laters."

And, leaving the cards on the table, Jake left as well, unsure of where to head to before his next lesson.

What? The lesson was over? That seemed quick!
"Yeah, I'll think I'll come too..." she said, placing the deck on the table and picking up her things "That was a fun lesson"
Yeah, fun, but she hadn't really learned anything.
Except that she was going to have a lot of glory. :woot:

Fee smilked at Salander when he got a little closer.Mhhhhhhhh The Knight of wands, the Moon and The fool. Lets see what they could mean."The Knight of wands stands for an exciting trip, and likely a long one to an exotic place. Likely a trip by motorcycle, car, bus or train",the blonde began,"the Moon card warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition",she continued,"and the fool is the card says you have all you need to do or be anything you want. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasizing and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool."That were a lot of different meanings. Well maybe Salander had a mixed future? Hehe.

Now it was up for Fee to choose three cards.Mhhh this was hard.Taking three out of the feeling she laid them down on the table.The Star, the High Priestess and the Sun. Ohhh lets see what her future will bring.Exciiiiiiting.

Nika picked up her things and put the strap of her bag on her shoulder. "Good because I didn't want to walk back to the common room alone! I really enjoyed the lesson! I thought it was fun too!" Nika held her hand out to Emily and skipped towards the door.

"Thank you proffessor I really enjoyed the lesson! I can't wait until the next class," Nika smiled genuinely. She wasn't trying to suck up to the teacher. it was true that she loved the first lesson! Although at first she was a bit lost, when it got more into the class she felt as though she could pull through. Divination maybe a challenge, but Nika loved challenges and so this was her chance. Nika waved goodbye to the professor and continued with Emily towards the door.

lezleighd, too ^_^
 

Oh, so it was time to go now? She and Satine had both done three readings for one another, so she guessed that was enough information to handle for now. Besides, Sierra was running out of creative ways to say 'look within your inner self'.

Her gaze traveled from the professor back to Satine, and Sierra neatly stacked her deck of cards together as she spoke. "Well, I guess that's all then, hmm? Thanks for partnering up with me," she said. Grabbing a hold of her school bag, she stood from her desk and got ready to go. "Have a good day, Satine."

With a parting glance toward her Divination partner, Sierra turned on her heels and made her way to the shelf she'd gotten the deck of cards from. She laid them there neatly, gave the professor a tiny wave, and then walked out the room.

Simon wanted to have a word with the Professor as he wanted to know if there was any book he could read to help him get better on Divination, something like the Guide to Divination for dumb people, because Simon surely needed a mircle now to get better at Divination. "Professor can I have a word with you please?"

Salander listened to the young Slytherin girl as she read the meaning of the Knight of Wands 'An excting trip?' Salander mused tilted his head. He had been traveling quite a bit over the summer-- well truthfully he's gone over more miles over the summer than in all of his 17 years.

He nearly choked when Faye began reading The Moon card. "Trickeries and falsehoods?" he repeated dumbstruck as he stared at the middle card. How did this thing know? Heck, did this thing know that he was being duped for a while now?

Can it foresee the future?

He listened extra carefully to the meaning of the last card. To start with he didnt like it-- The Fool. He's been called that way too often and was pretty much how he's been feeling for the past few weeks. He leaned back in his seat when Fee was done reading "Huh.... so I could 'be all I could be'-- except I gotta watch for the landmines lest I blow my foot off?'"Well, that kinda made a bit of sense, although he had wanted something more definite-- like if he'd win the lottery or if a certain Durmstranger will get kidnapped by aliens and disappear off the face of the Earth....

Bah focus Salander!

He watched Fee pick out her three cards and started to read their meanings left to right "The Star-- Its the card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming..."

He then moved on to "The Sun-- the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises the Querent their day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully conscious and wide awake. This is science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy." He looked that the Slytherin girl "Sounds like you got some good things going already..."

He looked over the last card "The High Priestess-- is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know in order to make a decision about a problem or a job, an investment, love, career, family, etc."

Freya looked up from her card when Professr Bishop said that the class is over. Huh?Its over already? She cleared up her desk and put her belongings on her bag. She made her way to the shelves and put the tarot card back where she took it. "Good bye, Professor. Have a good day." she said with a smile before the blonde made her way to the door.

Lucy was sure Helena had no questions, but still she wanted to be sure of that. "Ok, so i think we're done with all our practice now. I'll be going to Gryffindor common room now, as we leave this room." she said smiling to her and said "Well, that is really very sweet of you to say such a thing, i'm very pleased to hear this. Hope you find it more interesting in the later Divination class. You were a great Partner." she said looking at Helena and gave her a big smile.

After saying that, she took her bag and gathered all her books. Looked at Professor and said "Thank you, Professor. It was a great class. I enjoyed a lot with the card reading with Helena" she said and left the room saying "Bye" to Helena.

"You were a great partner as well," said Helena, smiling back to Lucy. She didn't say that just to say something, Lucy really was a great partner. "I will go to the Slytherin common room too, lots of reading to do," she added, laughing.

She turned her head to face the professor. "Goodbye, professor. And indeed, it was a great lesson," she continued for Lucy. "Maybe I'll see you later," said Helena, facing Lucy again.

Fee listened to Salander telling her the neanings of the cards she had just picked.Unexpected help?Did Fee need help? if yes with what? Woah maybe the tarot knew things she didnt? That would be totally scary.But then again they lived in a magical world,everything was possible.Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success.Sounded good didnt it? Lets see what the future would bring.You never knew.Looking at the Slytherin the blonde nodded."Dunno what it could be",she chuckled,"makes me excited though."Who wouldnt be after hearing something like that?!


Reveal the secrets you need to know in order to make a decision ?How about finding out Hugo did like her too? That would be a goiod thing.But pfffft, the girl shouldnt day dream about something like that.Wasnt going to happen anyway, so what?!Maybe there were some other undiscovered secrets it got to find out.Would be interesting. Fuuuutreeeee could come,Fee was ready.Hehe.

Rowan collected her things and walked to the front of the room. "Thank you for a wonderful lesson, Professor," she said. "See you next time." She then made her way out of the room and headed for the library for some much needed studying.

Luin had finished her reading although she wasn't convinced of everything in the meanings of the cards. She shrugged though, at least this was more practical than tea leaves. She listened as the teacher told them they could leave if they were finished. She packed up her things quickly and started towards the door, "Thank you Professor." she smiled, and then left.

Charley snapped out of the near trance she had been in since Professor Bishop dismissed class. "Oh, Professor Bishop, may I also have a word with you when you are finished talking with......Simon, isn't it?"

"Alright, sounds simple enough." Cass said with a shrug. Then she randomly picked out three cards while thinking "Will I ever make it to the best student's list?'" over and over again

Ikenna shook himself and emerged from his hiding spot, and his Disillusionment charm, as easily as if he had been visible the entire time. He blinked once and briefly glanced at the students to see if any had noticed him nodding off but of course...

He had been invisible. Invisible naps were naturally more satisfying than regular ones.

"Yes, Professor," the Security Liaison spoke up, falling in step behind the Hufflepuff boy. "I was wondering the same, if I could perhaps speak with you at your convenience."

Gevrik smiled politely and stood with his hands folded behind his back as he waited for an answer.

Still holding her tarot cards and waiting to see if she could borrow them or not, Kurumi almost tripped over the desk next to her when she jumped to the side in surprise when she saw Mr. Gevrik appear as if out of thin air.

Jaw dropping so much that she was surprised it hadn't hit the ground, she waved awkwardly at him. "H-H-Hello, Mr. Gevrik." Had he been in class the entire time?!

Raven is seized by sudden appearance of the Ministry Employee. "Whoa, a man appears of all sudden, err, Good day Mr. Gevrik" RAven greeted the black man. "Err, are there, in the whole duration of class?" Raven wanted to hear why this man is invisible during class duration.

(for everyone still doing readings) I'll probably close the thread soon, just fyi.
 

Before she could really settle behind her desk again, giving a smile to each of the students who thanked her or simply said goodbye on their way out, Renée looked up as she heard another plea. “Of course, Mr. Perevell,” she said, standing up again and making her way over to his desk. Glancing at his spread, she nodded slightly to herself as she briefly analyzed all the cards, before turning dark eyes to the Gryffindor as he spoke again. “Well, most of that seems fairly accurate. Or, not so much accurate as a good interpretation, as I can’t say I would know better than you if it was accurate. However, there’s a few things I’d clarify. First, I think you’re misinterpreting the Devil a bit. It’s not so much making you a person like that as explaining that you either have those ambitions and temptations inside you or you’re withholding them. And I’d interpret your eighth card as symbolizing more of an instance that your friends and family ground you. Beyond that, it seems only the High Priestess you’ve had difficulty with, as she doesn’t reveal her secrets unless she so chooses, and you could learn odd things from that.” All in all, she was rather pleased, really. People had worried they wouldn’t understand, but it was fairly simple with a little interpretation. “Was that all you needed me for?,” she asked then, with a smile. “If so, I’ll just head back to my desk, and you can find me there.” Since she’d told everyone else she’d be there, after all.



And, returning to her desk, it seemed her thoughts had been well placed as people started approaching almost as soon as she’d arrived back. But first, Renée had glanced at Damian for a moment, as the girl seemed to be having a few difficulties. There hadn’t been any requests for help, so she merely gave her a concerned look before continuing on her way. Hopefully someone could help her if necessary. There seemed to be enough Slytherins for that, if they were willing to help their housemates. But once she returned to her desk, she smiled as Kurumi approached. “No, feel free, Miss Hollingberry,” she replied. “As long as I get them back at some point.” She hadn’t brought her favorite decks into class anyway, those she wouldn’t lend out.
Turning as she heard Jake speak, she sent the Hufflepuff a nod. “You’re welcome. Any time,” she said with a smile, noting he’d left his deck on his desk. It wasn’t a big deal, really, as she could clean up after everyone left, but even so, she lightly flicked her wand at the deck, wrapping it again in the fabric and sending it to rest on the shelves. It made her feel better. But then she had more students with questions, and she turned back to give Simon and Miss Kelley a smile. “Certainly,” she said to both of them, “Would you rather talk right now, or is this something you’d rather people not hear?,” she asked. She wasn’t sure how many people might be at her office after class, that was, but then she also didn’t know if the questions were private.

Shortly after the students had asked to speak to her, Renée’s suspicions about people having been invisible were proven as Mr. Gevrik suddenly appeared where she’d thought she’d sensed him before. His reappearance didn’t seem to affect her as much as it had the students, and she turned a calm and generally friendly smile to the dark man as he spoke. “Of course,” she replied, neutrally. She still had the feeling that he was similar to her in certain ways, which both piqued her curiosity and unnerved her a little. It was definitely different than when she’d discovered Jared’s ability, which had also piqued her curiosity. But she felt like she completely trusted the Charms professor. The security liaison was another story altogether. She’d hear him out, though. There was no reason not to, but she’d talk to her students first.

Raven smile back, he seem happy being corrected, his worry been lost and give him a nice feeling. "Thank you, Professor", Raven replied back.

Now, time to go, Raven smooth away the Tarot card, properly place it in box, then into the rack, where originally placed the card, before he turn back to his desk and pick his things, "Good day again, bye, Professor" Raven say while he walk toward the classroom exit

Cass's Reading
 

Cass frowned at the cards that were before her. Sure she was impulsive as a child, but hey that just who she was, she wanted something, she would get it in a snap. That's her world.

"Oh well, do you still want me to do you?" She asked

"If you would like to, sure" she replied.

"Also your last card was Queen of cups."
