Divination 1
 

Upon entering the Divination classroom, it seems the decor has been changed back to the way it had been set up for the tasseomancy lesson the previous term, or at least similar. Instead of desks, there are quite a few small round wooden tables arranged around the classroom, still leaving room between to walk, even if the chairs are pulled out. Four chairs sit around each table, but other than that there is nothing much to show what the topic that is going to be discussed is. Even the bookshelves along the wall are covered by a drape of colorful fabric, which at least lends some excitement to the room, and is made even brighter by the sunlight streaming in from open windows.

The only curious thing in the room would probably be the crystal ball close by Professor Bishop's elbow, seemingly ignored by her as she is idly focused on the Tarot cards she has arranged on the table in front of her. Is that part of the lesson, or just decoration?

ooc: The lesson will start no later than at some time midday tomorrow (PST), but feel free to post yourselves entering, etc. Curiosity is entirely welcome, as to what Professor Bishop is doing or anything else, but try not to involve yourselves in too much chatting amongst yourselves. I'll be checking in again later tonight, to reply if necessary.

Theodore was among the first students to climb the ladder and enter the divination classroom. He had enjoyed arithmancy and its sister subject, divination, seemed like it could be just as interesting. Alas, divination didn't deal with numerical values nearly as much, but oh well. The Ravenclaw's mathematical pursuits would have to be postponed until after class. Taking a seat near the front, he smiled and greeted the professor. "Good afternoon, professor," He spoke, fishing through his bookbag for his school supplies.

Samira walked to Divination class eagerly. She may be total rubbish at the subject, but she enjoyed having Professor Bishop as a teacher and she always felt comfortable. She set her bag down on one of the tables and looked around the room. She then looked at the professor and give a bright smile. "Hello, Professor. How are you?" Who knows, if Samira kept a good attitude and really, really tried, she may be able to not mess up.

Out of breath, the Slytherin lad heaved a deep sigh when he finally crossed the threshold of the Divination classroom. At least one of his favorite brunettes were still there "Hello Professor Bishop!" he smiled at her easily, then took his place near the front of class, where he can have a good view of her loveliness teaching.

Hannah walk into the class room.She sat down at the table next to the other ravenclaw.She took Out her Note book and Lime green pen.

Super-super excited for the first Divination lesson of the year, Ariana cheerfully walked into the room. She remembered Divination as a confusing, but fun and interesting, subject. "Hello, Professor Bishop! How are you?" she asked, still cheerfully. She noted that the professor had both a crystal ball and tarot cards out on her desk. Which would then work on? Happily wondering, Ariana sat down at a table next to Samira.
"Hiya!" she said.

Chloe was rather excited for the first divination class of term. She always really liked this class and was gonna miss it when her final year came to an end. As she entered the classroom she saw a bunch of small wooden tables with chairs and a bit of brightness in curtains. It looked like it might be a place where someone may read a crystal ball. She then noticed the professor had one a smiled slightly. This class would be fun. It had been last term. As Chloe walked by the professor she greeted her saying, "Good day professor, and then took a seat at one of the tables. She could not wait for class to start.

Samira turned and glanced at the other occupant who just sat at her table. She smiled brightly when she saw it was her Ravenclaw friend, Ariana. "Hey!" Samira grinned. "I haven't seen you in forever. How's it going?"

Simon entered the divination classroom hesitantly, having been debating if he should continue with the subject or not seeing as he didn't really need it. However his curiousity over things made him at least want to try out the first class much like he had last term. "Good day professor," he greeted politely before looking around the room. Seeing the set up of the room he didn't know what to expect but tried to find a familiar face or two with whom to work with and he smiled upon spotting Kyle already there.

"Mind if I sit with you?" he asked as the captain made his way over to the table where she sat.

"Great! I'm so excited for the lesson to start, d'you think we're studying crystal balls or tarot cards?" It was best to talk about divination when Professor Bishop was around, after all, Ariana didn't want ANY points off Ravenclaw for chattering, they were in the lead! This year they had to win! So she talked about the upcoming lesson, to be on the safe side.

Zara entered the Divination Classroom, her next class. As she entered, she had a strange feeling in that room, something more than magic. Hmm, wonder what that was. She came to sit in one of the chairs, it was still an empty table, hopefully, a friend would come over, or even a stranger would be nice.

As she made her way, she passed Professor Bishop and greeted a, "Good morning, Professor Bishop!" and a cheery smile.

Then she decided to walk over and make new friends, so she walked towards the table where a girl sat, and was soon accompanied by a guy. "Hi. Is it okay if I take this seat?"

"If you should like to be aware and further see ahead, just drink some tea and then you'll see the day you will be dead. Take it lightly and don't dread you will not be misled, you chose this fate and now just wait to fall on your deathbed. The day you will be dead and fall on your deathbed, la la la la la la la la the day when you'll be dead~!" Eino sang cheerfully as he skipped to the Divination classroom with his backpack bouncing and swinging around, and some toilet paper attached to his left shoe following closely behind. He wasn't very shocked to see the rearrangement, but he really liked it. He continued singing and waved at the professor as he entered the classroom, and finally sat down on one of the empty tables hoping his friends would fill the missing chairs.

Ariana heard someone sit down at the table behind her and turned to see Zara again! "Zara! Hey, how are you? Excited for the first divination lesson of the year?" Ariana certainly was, as was obvious from the cheerfullness of her voice and the smile on her face.

Samira's eyes lit up with excitement for the upcoming lesson. "Ooh I hope so!" Crystal balls always intrigued Samira, so she was especially looking forward to this lesson and trying to not mess up. "I didn't do so well with the tea cups last term, though." she admitted. "Divination isn't really my forte." Sitting with Ariana could go both ways: Either she was really good at Divination and could help Samira, oooor she was as bad as Samira and they could be rubbish together.

Hihi, just a short chat, okie? :)
 

"Hi Ariana!" Long time no talk. Zara smiled. "I'm fine, just too busy because of the homework. I'm hanging out in the library more often than I should. Yep, sure am excited!" She enthusiastically exclaimed, but not loud, really.

Divination. Another one of Alex's weaker subjects, but it was his goal to improve on everything this year, and that included this class. Slightly out of breath from the long climb (SERIOUSLY, how did Ravenclaws and Gryffindors DO IT?) and sat down next to someone who looked vaguely familiar.

OH! He knew this guy! He was that Slytherin who'd met them on the platform last year, on their very first day at Hogwarts! What was his name again? Something lizard like. SALAMANDER? No, that wasn't it. Oh no, why couldn't he remember his name!

"Oh hey there....dudeee," he finally settled on that, because he wasn't about to guess with his name and totally embarrass himself. He grinned politely at him. That wasn't that awkward, right?

Divination
 

Liora have seen that in Classroom looking as four chairs around all tables, as there is nothing much to show.
I just felt as Aching Back seat so if the Lecturer allow I would be this place on a foot.

"Hey, the library is the best place in the whole castle!" Not just upholding her duty as a Ravenclaw, Ariana was also saying how she felt. "Well, not counting the Divination classroom.... and the Ancient Runes classroom... and the Arithmancy classroom... and..." she let herself trail off into silence. The whole castle was the best place in the world!

Ariana beamed at seeing Samira glad to talk about divination. Though she wasn't exactly boring, school was always something she could talk about. "Really? I love divination! I mean, sure it's confusing at times, but you can learn so much about yourself and your future!"

Bishop and Kurumi! YAY DIVINATION!!
 

Selina hoisted her bag up over her bag up over her shoulder as she walked up the long, steep stairs up to the Divination classroom. She walked slowly and with direction to the room. Without a shadow of doubt in her mind Selina knew that in Divination she thrived. Although the reasoning behind this was not something Selina liked to discuss or was particularly proud of, she was good at something. It had to count, if only for a little bit.

Since Kurumi had spent the summer at her house Selina had become more understanding of her curse. It did not wake her up every morning any more and scare her that one day she may wake up and only see the future, not the present. If that was to be her fate she would live for the moment.

Once she arrived to the classroom she took and deep breath and took the first heavy step into the classroom. As soon as she was inside a warmth enveloped her and she smiled. This was comfort to Selina.

She walked up to Bishop's desk and smiled at her, "Good morning Professor Bishop. Looking forward to this term. I hope to learn a lot." Selina hoped Bishop understood the hidden meaning behind that statement.

Then she took her seat at one of the desks and started to prepare for class. She left the spare seat next to her open for Kurumi. If Selina had another episode in class she wanted Kurumi there to help her. The visions were becoming more frequent and Divination only encouraged them. She needed Kurumi.

Caroline Seriously hated walking from the Dungeons to the Seventh floor, it was such a long painful, if she was carrying books that far. Why could she not just fly to class? Now that would be fun. No one would ever be late to class and everyone would want to come because they could just fly there. Maybe she had just been thinking about quidditch too much.

Anywany Divination mode time. She walked into the classroom and noticed not desk but round tables with four chaisr scattered around the classroom. She eyed the crystal ball closely. "Hello Professor Bishop!" She said with a smile.



After saying hello to the professor she looked around for a seat there where already some people in the class seated. Then she found her friend Kyle already seated. Simon was still standing. She walked over beside of Simon and ask the both of them. "Got room for one more?" She grinned.

Divination.

Whatever.

The girl was sporting a green wig and she flaunted it out with much pride, knowing that with such a fancy subject, she had to be fancy. She didn't believe in such things but her other counterpart did and it absolutely disgusted her, but oh well. Maybe this lesson would change her view altogether and she would become some sort of a famous Seer when she--no no no, she pushed those absurd thoughts from her mind and entered the classroom.

She had to keep an open mind.

Crystal balls.

Tarot cards?

Lola Velma only nodded to the professor, trying her best not to think of her as a loon because well--nevermind, open mind, open mind.

Samira nodded earnestly. "Oh definitely! Divination is one of my favorite subjects." She really did enjoy it. She often became jealous when she saw how well off others were, when she was so lost, but Samira enjoyed the class nevertheless. "I think it's super cool. I mean, you can see into your future!" how can you not be excited over that. Then, a thought occurred to Samira. "But then again, it's kind of scary. I mean, what if you see something terrible happening in your future? Would you be able to stop it?" The thought made Samira shiver, but she was genuinely interested. She decided to ask Professor Bishop when the class started.

Jai walked briskly knowing he wasn't late but couldn't bother walking slowly. Entering he saw a few familiar faces he had met around school. He sat at an empty desk and dropped his bag on the floor next to him and reach for his notebook.
Sitting back, he waited for class to start. Meanwhile he took in the setting of the class.

'Interesting.'he thought to himself.
