Once you arrive to the Divination classroom, you enter to find what looks like a standard classroom setup. Desks arranged in the center of the room, facing Professor Bishop's desk and organized into pairs, look toward a charmed blackboard which currently simply says "Divination Lesson 1" in a graceful cursive. A good-sized bookshelf is against the right-hand wall and contains a large amount of small fabric-wrapped shapes.

Professor Bishop is seated at her desk, writing on something, the wooden box from her office moved to the desk in here, but she's still aware of the room. Don't think she isn't, just because she looks occupied with other things.

Feel free to take a seat, talk quietly, get your things ready and class will start shortly.

Feel free to post your character entering, speaking to each other or the professor. I'll check in when I can, so don't go overboard, and the lesson will begin tomorrow.

Elle looked up. "Oh, that would be great. Elizabeth Woods. First Year Slytherin."

I thought the point was to interact with everyone that entered your shop, no matter your likes or dislikes of them." Reaching forward, he tapped the card with his index finger. "And it means 'good-order' in that what you want is waiting for you to take that last step."

"No arguments there." Kellen felt a smile wiggling back onto his face, making the frown-inducing thoughts retreat into the back of his head for the time being, "You're comparing me to Ollivander. I also happen to be a half-spoiled wealthy kid, if you fail to recall."

Though really, he wouldn't blame him. Sabel'd never exactly visited his house ever. Ignoring that somewhat guilty thought, he continued, "I'd be making custom wands. So they'd have to set up appointments and such. Plus, I have no idea what that last step is, so it can keep right on waiting. Pick your third card."

"Vi... it's the Tower."

Violet was very excited and couldn't wait to see what she would get. She clapped her hands eagerly smiling. Violet then stopped when she saw Selina's reaction to the card she picked up. Her violet eyes widened and she said softly,"...Oh dear..." Violet then quickly grew silent.

"Half-spoiled wealthy kid. Must have missed the memo. Don't care to read it either." Kellen really did need to give himself more credit. He supposed it didn't help that most people perceived Kellen as stuck up or spoiled or rude, but that was hardly the case, and the boy needed to recognize it. Sooner rather than later.

Re-shuffling the deck, he considered Kellen's business plan. "Will you take me for an appointment? If I ever happen to break my wand. Which, I seriously hope won't happen." Drawing out the next card he turned it and tilted his head, before handing the Page of Cups over to Kellen.

Oh it's time for reading? Yaaaayyyy..But she forgot to bring her deck to the class. Oh well, Professor Bishop said that they could used the cards on the shelves. Freya walked towards the shelves, grabbed the card then she moved back to her seat. Hmm..It's seems like everybody already had a partner. Maybe she could read something for herself first then after that she could looked up for a partner. She decided to use the 3 Card Spread. It's more simple.

She took out the cards from its wrap. The Slytherin thought for a moment what will she asked, then she asked herself "What's going on in my life this month?" She shuffled the cards seven times. After she finished shuffling the cards, she hold it between her palms and took a deep breath. She shuffled the cards again this times for the actual reading till she feel ready. Then she spread them out in front of her. She draw three cards with her odd hand, because she's a right handed so she draw with the left. Off the top, she flipped the three cards she draw earlier. She flipped it from the left, middle and then right.

SPOILER!!: Freya's Card

Heather was very timid at the moment for no apparent reason. She guessed it was just because she wanted to do her own reading instead of someone else doing it for her. "Here goes nothing." She said aloud and picked up the deck of cards. She drew the first three and studied them closely.

First card: The Fool.
Second: The High Priestess
Third: The Lovers

These cards interested her though she wasn't completely sure what all of them meant together. "Professor?" She asked beckoning for the divination teacher. "I think I know what the fool and the lovers mean but what about the high priestess? And what so these all mean together?" She asked.

"It's not so much a memo as a lifestyle," Kellen amended, "and if you happen to break your wand, I'll give you an appointment on the condition that you don't keep the remains of your old one in a glass box somewhere. Four of Pentacles." Hint. No clinging.

"The Page of Cups, is it?" He sifted through his notes, hoping the card wouldn't hold another nerve-touching realization for Sabel. There was a thing as too much truth in one day, "You're overly sensitive and take the deaths of minor things like flowers and fish too seriously. Psh, like I needed a card to tell me that."

"Memories, mate. They're not terrible to hold onto. Plus, first wand. It's gotta go somewhere besides the trash." With a shrug of his shoulders, he tapped his fingers off the deck. "And you put a good name to that life-style, if that is what you call it."

This card, he found mildly amusing. He did take deaths seriously, but he didn't figure himself that sensitive. Though perhaps it was referring to his rather emotional responses to everything that happened around him. "I feel like I'm being told to mellow out, and there's a steam-roller of Tarot cards as the instigator for that." Pushing the card towards Kellen he gave him a slight grin. "You can have it if you want, oh Wand-maker."

"Well, let's just say you've got all the tightropes in the world jealous; you're a lot more highly strung than they are." Kellen watched the card being pushed towards him, and asked, "What would I do with a Page of Cups? I'm not overly sensitive."

Pursing his lips, Sabel considered the comparison for a moment before shrugging his shoulder. "I suppose that's true at times."

Another shrug of his shoulder left him as he smirked at his friend. "Perhaps you should learn how to use it. Like I need to learn how to stop being, how was it? Clingy and boxheaded?"

"But you see, we've already discussed this. If we were to put our worst faults into a mixer, blend them up, and then portion them out to each other, we'd end up being completely nondescript," Kellen pointed out. Plus, he knew Sabel's clumsiness would get added into the blender, and he didn't particularly want any part of it.

He grinned, "And stop shrugging, you're making me seasick and we're nowhere near an ocean."

Were they done? He glanced around the class to see how the others were doing. There didn't seem to be as much laughter from other pairs. In fact... a lot of them looked downright desperate that their cards be favourable.

"Ever the Ravenclaw." With a smile, Sabel followed Kellen's eyes and glanced over the rest of the class. He had no idea if they had done the activity right, but they had each gotten something out of it, so really, who could fault them.

Curious, he cast a glance back at his friend. "How does shrugging make you sea-sick?"

"Ever the Gryffindor," Kellen immediately rejoined. Maybe that was why they were so close; complimentary stereotypes? Something like that. He rolled his eyes at Sabel, "I wasn't being literal. Though if you like, I'm sure I could use my Head Boy status to go through some student bags, find a puking pastille, and enact seasickness in your presence."

Wrinkling his nose, Sabel playfully flicked his last card at Kellen. "That's disgusting man. And an abuse of power. But more importantly plain, old disgusting." Shaking his head, he shrugged his shoulder again, just because. "Did you want to do another card or take a break?"

Kellen treated accusations of being disgusting with a good, old-fashioned snub. Though he did pick up the deck to shuffle again, and spoke to both it and Sabel, "I'll have another card done. This time, I want one that makes me go all knicker-twisted and sullen. Those sound like fun ones."

The deck was cut, the card was drawn, and he tossed it onto the table in front of Sabel, "The Lovers. Oh, this should be good."

Sabel was laughing until he saw the card, and then he could only roll his eyes and bite his bottom lip in overwhelming amusement. "Probably about that path of destruction you were talking about."

Picking up the card he wagged it a little at Kellen. "Did you know I was accused of being half-veela at the feast? Don't ask me why, it was rather odd."

"Alright, so the lovers. Surrendering and chosing for reasons unknown when you find a thing or person that is every much a part of you as you are of them. You must have this, you cannot resist and you will do whatever it takes to follow this intuitive feeling of having to be with or a part of this thing or person." Grinning, he peered at his friend. "Do you have something to divulge, Stern?"

"Do you have something to divulge, Stern?"

"Half-veela? You?" Kellen snorted, trying and failing to see what could lead to that observation. Finally he decided, "They must have meant when veela get angry. You nose is a little beaky..."

He drummed his fingers off his chin, considering the description of the card before replying, somewhat speculatively, "I don't think so... not to the level you so outrageously describe, anyway. Does it have to be that intense of a feeling? If so, I've drawn another dud."

Rolling his eyes at Kellen's veela-comment, he refocused on the card, tapping it with one finger. He did however make a swipe of his nose and rubbed it a little. "I don't understand it either. But she was a bit of an odd kid, so maybe that had something to do with it."

"As for the card...that's what it says. Though it doesn't have to be a person, it could be a career or challenge of some sort, and it doesn't have to be immediate. I don't think any of these are immediate based. Or required to be."

It was Kellen's turn to shrug, and he sat back in his chair, "You've lost me. I don't have any career plans or life challenges that I desperately need to have completed at the moment. Just riding the seventh-year wave with a bit of Prefect duties and NEWT panic attacks mixed in."

Watching Kellen, he replaced the card in the deck and shuffled it slowly. "Well, maybe it's around the corner. Though, you could argue your Prefect duties and your NEWTS are what the card is talking about. You are stressed over them, which means you care a great deal about them." Reaching over he gave his friend a prod in the shoulder. "But don't you dare have panic attacks."

Cass turned suddenly when a girl just suddenly spoke to them "Uh, sure. Why not." She said with a shrug "Nice to meet you, Heather." Then she glanced down at the cards on the table and said "Alright, why don't you show us our future?"

"Alright I'll give this a go." She said before picking up the deck of cards and drawing one. She flipped it face up. "The star." She said simply. "You wanna draw for me?" She asked hoping it was something that didn't resemble a death omen.

Luinevaug · 01-16-2011, 10:40 AM

Luin looked at the deck in front of her and picked it up. She looked around and noticed the most of the other people in the class had either already paired up or had started on their own. She shrugged and decided to try a reading for herself. She wasn't sure how accurate she would be on anything, but it was worth a shot, and especially for class. She shuffled the deck and thought of a question, saying it out loud quietly to herself, "How will I do in classes this year?" she quickly drew out her first card and put it on the table, "The High Priestess... hmm, what does that mean..." she quickly scanned her book and found a meaning for that card..

Quote:

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.

And, finally, there is, behind her throne, the curtain that leads to the deepest, most esoteric and secret knowledge; the pomegranates that decorate it remind us of Persephone, who was taken down into the land of the dead, ate its fruit, and became the only goddess allowed to travel to and from that strange land. This indicates that when you get the High Priestess, you're going to be learning some very odd things. Very odd.

Interesting, not a bad choice, not really sure what that means exactly though in the long run. She carefully started to choose the rest of her cards.
