Emily had finished two hot dogs and was onto her third when she remembered about her nut. Quickly taking it away from the fire she saw it was burnt to a t. 'Great. Just great!' she threw the nut on the ground and stood on it. Now her hand was hot from touching it! Wait. Wasn't it her who had told Nika it was a load of rubbish? She didn't believe in this stuff! So, mabye it would happen? It would happen. It had to! But, as Emily finished the last of her hotdog she realised she had a nagging suspision in the back of her mind that the nut was probably right... |
Nika kept her eyes on the nut expecting it to do something at any moment. She watched with intensity and to the point where her eyes started to get tired. She turned around to grab a marshmallow and that's when it "POP"-ed Nika let out a shriek. She was not expecting that. She whipped her head around and saw it was just her nut and she physically relaxed. She took a few deep breaths and then went closer to examine her nut. "Er Professor, I forgot what does it mean when it pops?" Nika had a horrid memory. |

When he finally had his attention brought back to the group again by a loud pop, Jake looked a little confused, and had to consult his notes. Oh. ... With that, Jake put his toy snitch back into his pocket and leaned forwards, elbows on his knees and eyes on others in the room. He'd just get more of a visual idea... sure. |
Still completely oblvious to the fact that the Divinations Professor kept gesturing to the Hot Dogs for him, Patroclus selected a hazlenut and took it too the fire. Squating down on bent knees, the Lion prefect felt the of the fire wash over him, he watched the tongues lick at sky, the floating embers that glowed then darked lost in the velvety night sky. With his mind clear and open, he dropped the hazlenut on the border of the fire circle and asked his question: "Will I ever find the Hot Dogs?" |
Quoting my own post, so I can track where I left off. :P Text Cut: Myself Years had passed by (okay, so not years, but it sure felt like it) and yet Sierra still hadn't heard the slightest pop or seen the slightest burn coming from her nut. She thought about poking it with a stick, but she figured it would probably mess up the prediction it was supposed to give. Again, she asked her question. Will Slytherin be successful in their next Quidditch match? Of course they would be, this was Slytherin she was talking about here, but it'd still be cool, she guessed, to have the hazelnut confirm things. She frowned at the hazelnut. It was taking forever to decide! Either that, or her hazelnut was just broken. Figures... "POP!" Sierra perked up upon hearing a popping noise. Could it have been her hazelnut?! With eyes wide open and searching the fire, she finally found her hazelnut--and it was popping! Of course, she'd known all along that it would, but it was still nice to actually hear it doing so! ...and now, she was more than ready for that match against Gryffindor! |
Stealling Anna's idea, NOT SIERRA'S Anna's! =P Quote:
There it was again, and this time it was accompained by a pain in his stomach so it was easy for the Lion to put two and two together, it was his tummy that was rumbling, cause he was starving! Mentally screaming at the fire to hurry up and cook his hazlenut, the boy toyed with the idea that he may have to eat the nut, rather than divine it then it happened POP! The hazlenut popped, and just when there was some hope for Patroclus things just got worse! The nut was just that little bit to close to the fire, and once it's fleshy center was exposed the harsh heat of the flames burnt the only edible section to a crisp O__0 There was nothing to do but |
Hera and Zoe in here as well. :) And things should be wrapping up shortly. *nods* Quote:
"That can happen," she said lightly. Getting carried away with things. It happened less now for herself than it had when she was a student, but it was always a risk. Especially when it came to Divination, and she found herself watching him as he continued talking. "Of course. Knowing everything would take the mystery out of things," she replied, feeling like they had almost gotten onto different topics again. But it didn't seem malicious, so she didn't let it influence her. There was obviously someone he'd been thinking about with his question, though. "Alright then. Perhaps we shouldn't alarm anyone, until we're certain." She was hoping nobody actually was dead, but in the same respect she was hoping he'd feel able to come to her if he truly was worried about anyone, well, not doing so well. Quote:

Text Cut: lol poor Patroclus It seemed she was destined to situations involving the upper level students, as Renée turned at an odd rumbling sound, somewhat below the general din of the students discussing things, asking questions and the like. It was quiet, but unmistakable, and a faint grin appeared on her face as her dark eyes landed on Patroculs. The Gryffindor prefect, who she'd been trying to nudge towards the hot dogs sevearl times earlier. It seemed the hints weren't helping, and she paused to watch as he chose to go about the hazelnut business instead. The hot dogs weren't going anywhere, and in fact it seemed he only needed to turn his head slightly to the right and they almost would be under his nose. "Bad news?," she asked as he resorted to a bit of dramatics, stepping closer to peer down at his nut. Odd. It seemed to both have popped and charred. Maybe that would equate to an unknown, she mused. It remained to be seen what his interpretation would be. But while she waited, she stood straight again to address the class. "Okay everyone. I'm thinking it's almost time to finish things up. I imagine you'd like to all get inside again where it's warm. Take a few more minutes to finish your readings, wait for your nuts to react if you like, munch on some more treats, but I think I'll let whoever would like to go. If your finished, that is. I'll post the homework in a bit, so keep your eyes out," she said, louder than when she'd been speaking to everyone one-on-one. Even if she posted homework right after returning to her office, it was late enough that the students probably wouldn't see it until the morning anyhow. ooc: As said, if you feel you've gotten enough done, feel free to have your charrie head back to the castle, etc. This thread will probably stay open for another day, to let you wrap things up, and I'll post the homework ASAP. ;) |
Having finished roasting her marshmallow to a perfect brown color, Kurumi looked at her chocolate and graham cracker with a naiveness in her eyes that clearly meant she had no idea what to do next. Seeing as she had never been camping before with her family - Japan wasn't very big on the whole camping thing...especially her mother - Kurumi wasn't sure exactly how to make a smore. Was it two pieces of chocolate with a graham cracker layer below the marshmallow? That sounded rather sweet... Looking over at Professor Bishop, Kurumi was tempted to ask about smore making when she realized that she should probably ask something related to the activity and not marshmallows. "Professor...is there any meaning to how loud the nut pops?" Because, hers had been very VERY loud... |
Hang around with marshmallows in cold, or go inside to the warm castle and have no marshmallows... K-Lee decided the marshmallows were more important and grabbed another few that she promptly stuffed in her mouth. Mmmmm, yummy squishy goodness. Hearing a Gryffindor ask something, K-Lee listened in curiously. Her nut hadn't made a very loud noise, so did that mean she had a low chance at becoming a superhero? She really wanted to become a superhero... |
Chewing on her 100th? marshmallow Di heard her nut pop. About time. She watched at the remains of the nut as she chewed. Seeing some bits near her feet she swiftly pocketed some. For good luck, hehe. "So professor does this mean that our wish WILL come true?" she asked emphasizing on the will. |
Quote:
Well, Helena was done with her nut. Yes, the one that didn't pop. Anyway, she was ready to go. A bit sad, but... oh well. She stood up and looked at professor Bishop. "Goodbye," the girl said, trying to smile. Not a successful result, though. Uhhh why didn't that nut just pop? It was simple. Pop. But no pop. |
Quote:
"Thanks for the lesson Professor Bishop", she said waving goodbye. Turning briskly on her heel enjoying the fresh air, she began to walk back up to the castle, she could hear her bed calling her telepathically. |
"Um, Professor, could we try one more time? I mean, I think I put mine too close," Jaina inquired. She thought maybe if she asked the same question again and got a different result, then it would cancel out each other and make it better. |
"I just can't believe that a chemical reaction or whatever it is, I don't suppose there's many other sciency words, have anything to do with whether or not... Hufflepuff will win the quidditch championship." Nuh uh. He summoned TWO nuts from over THERE. "It's probably more about where they go." "Will Hufflepuff win the Quidditch Championship?" he asked both nuts, and tossed them both near the fire, one a little closer to it. "I would hate to think that the answer awaits us in a nut, Professor." He kept his voice civil, because he wasn't being angry and he definitely wasn't being sarcastic. He was just "... just a cynic." And so, Jake waited for the nuts. |

Seeing that someone else was trying again...and well, again...Jaina got up and retrieved another hazelnut. "All right now, nut. Let's see how well you do this time," Jaina said as she walked back to her seat. She held the nut close to her mouth and whispered, "Will Ben's father approve of me?" she whispered. She said it aloud this time in case the last nut had been tainted by another thought. There was no other thought, but hey, you never know! She placed it near the fire, not too close, but near it. She ate a smore that Belle had made and waited patiently. "So what do you guys want to do after class?" she asked. She smelled something burning and turned to the fire in time to see the hazelnut had actually burned faster the second time. "Stupid nuts!" Jaina exclaimed as she crossed her arms and scrunched up her nose. She looked to her friends, "I'm ready to go if you guys are." |
Others mentioned in here as well. :) Quote:
Turning to Kurumi as the Gryffindor had spoken, she smiled. "I can't imagine it does, although the louder a nut pops the more likely you are to hear it. Perhaps that's something to research," she replied, noticing it seemed the girl was having a bit of difficulty figuring out s'mores as well. She didn't want to call her out and embarrass her however, especially after their talk in her office. Kurumi didn't need that, but she could still offer help obliquely. "If you have any other questions, about anything, feel free to ask," she concluded with another smile. That way she could ask if she wanted, or choose not to. Quote:

As it seemed he wasn't finished with his questioning, she sent him another smile. "The answer lies in a lot of circumstances. The nut could possibly just give you one insight into what might happen," she replied. "And cynics are always useful in keeping us on our toes." That was the truth. Those who questioned made the rest of them need to figure out the answers. Text Cut: Jaina *pets* Going back to wandering around and keeping an eye on those who were still hanging around, she glanced at little Jaina as the Hufflepuff seemed a bit confused about things. "You can try as many times as you like, as long as class is still going on," she explained after the question was asked. "I can't guarantee trying again will give you much of a different answer, but you're welcome to more nuts." And that was a phrase she hadn't really expected to be saying, but it was accurate for the lesson. It seemed the girl had chosen to try again anyhow, and she kept an eye on her while the nut was sitting there. Something told her there was a bit of discontent in the answer given before, and she didn't want the girl discouraged. All she could hope was that her earlier words had made some sort of impact, even as she bit her lip to keep from grining at the response the nut received. Maybe Jaina should have listened to Jake and his cynicism that this was a valid way of determining anything. |
And there it was. One of the nuts burned with the heat of the flames, the other popped loudly, and Jake nodded at them both. Mhmmmmmm. Once collecting up his notes and schtuff, he looked at Bishop. "I don't really believe in this stuff. It's like Arithmancy to me... just not something I see a lot of truth in." And once again, he was taking the class for the grade, of course. But he never outright SAID stuff like that. Nuh uh. The young man heaved his bag over his shoulder; there were an awful lot of books in there... he sucked at remembering which classes where on which days. |

"I'm ready as well. Belle?" She turned to their other friend, then back to Jaina. "Remember, it isn't necessarily accurate." |

Dianna nodded at the professor. Oh yes, she think it does. She got a marshmallow as she thought. This nut thing? Totally worth it. |
SPOILER!!: Bishop =) Yeah, totally. It can happen. He'd just never asked a question in which 'death' could be a small possibility. And whilst his question never had that word, he kind of thought of it. So, yeah. It was only normal for such a young boy to get carried away. But...wait a minute. No, yes, she was right. A little mystery was always good. So, Treyen nodded, and nodded, and then smiled, "No, you're right, nothing to be worried about," he finally said, with one single nod. Yes, he was feeling a lot calmer about it now. And then she was dismissing the class. It sort of fitted, since it was getting colder and colder. With one last glimpse at the burnt hazelnut, the boy sighed and started to gather his stuff, which wasn't much. "Thanks for the lesson, Professor Bishop." And then he smiled. Much has changed in too little, right? Back to the Castle, it was. |

His hunger was making him emotional and the destruction of the hazlenut, only cemented the fact in his head, that we was destined to go hungry! "Bad News? Beyond Bad, horrible news!" He whined to the professor, "It seems it is my lot in life to go hungry! Oh the pain, the suffering!" he cried as he mock fainted, falling off his knees and onto the ground, closing his eyes. However had his eyes been open, Patroclus would have noticed that now directly infront of his face, as the container of hotdogs, "Go on Professor, just leave me, here, well I shall fade away into nothingness, perhaps you can use my sunbleeched bones in a future Divinations lesson!" Over dramatic? Yes, but hilariously funny? Definitely! |
