She skipped up to professor Bishop to say a quick hello before class started. Maybe she would be happy now that Nika isn't interrupting her food time hehe. "Hello Professor! I'm so excited! I've been looking forward to attending divination ever since the holiday started!" She said nodding her head eagerly.

Anyway Divination mode time. She walked into the classroom and noticed not desk but round tables with four chairs 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.

Helena... liked Divination, but it was definitely NOT her best subject. So, after climbing up all those stairs, the girl finally entered the Divination classroom. The first thing she noticed, beside professor Bishop, was that shiny crystal ball. Oooh were they going to use that?

"Hello, professor," she said, smiling at the woman, then looked around for a seat. Anywhere.

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.

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.

Of course Kurumi didn't know how it was. The fear and lack of control, but she was the best form of support she had, what without her mother not knowing or her father. Selina was limited and Kurumi was not a back up choice, she was the person she trusted the most.

She then leaned over to Kurumi and whispered, "Can you please watch me? Make sure nothing goes wrong? And if it does, just cover for me?"

Treyen didn't mind all those stairs, and steps, and floors, and anything. However, it had taken him longer to get there, thanks to missing one of the moving staircases. Nice.

The first thing he noticed when he entered was...first, no books, and secondly, a crystal ball next to Bishop. His eyes were entirely focused on that crystal ball. It brought him good memories of Nolan too. "Good day Professor!" he greeted, with a wide smile, and moved along to find a seat.

Somewhere. Anywhere.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

It seemed hesitancy was a common factor, to a lot of the students walking in, and Renée watched in amusement as the Gryffindor Quidditch captain seemed to be feeling that very emotion upon entry. She had to give him hypothetical points for still being polite, though, and she smiled at his greeting. “Good day to you as well, Captain Bennett.” It seemed he’d decided to stay, as he headed for the table that Kyle was sitting at, so she went back to contemplating her own activities in the meantime. She was half tempted to give up, but at least it gave her something to do while she waited for everyone to arrive.

She had only glanced at her cards for another moment when it seemed she was destined for another distraction, but Renée looked up at the first year that had passed her table with a smile. “Good day to you as well, Miss Griffiths. I hope you enjoy things,” she said, both friendly and a little vague. She was referring to the lesson at hand, of course, but that didn’t mean there couldn’t be a myriad of other meanings.

It seemed yet another Slytherin wasn’t exactly happy with the trek up from the dungeons, but Renée had seen no reason to change the location of her lesson. Her plans hadn’t entailed specific locations, like at least one of her lessons last term, and Divination being held in the tower was almost a tradition at Hogwarts by now anyway. Caroline was, it seemed, not choosing to verbalize any issues, though, so she didn’t respond to what she’d sensed. “Hello Caroline, why don’t you make yourself comfortable, and I’ll get things started shortly,” she replied with a smile. The advice didn’t seem to be necessary, but at least it had given her the feeling of doing something. Other than staring at her cards.

Renée couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow again as she noticed the curious expression on the little Hufflepuff who had just walked in’s face, but she stayed just as quiet about it as she had for the previous students who had seemed that way. She figured it was just curiosity about the lesson, anyhow. She smiled at the little first year, though. “Hello, Miss Hammer,” she replied, voice still its usual light and friendly tone. She’d be finding out about the topic under discussion soon enough.

Something had seemed to have flustered Treyen as the Hufflepuff had entered her classroom, but Renée simply sent him a smile. It was probably something little, as she knew by now that he would say something if it was important. At least, she knew that now. It seemed he’d gotten distracted by her new little decoration for now, and she bit back a grin. That was going to be the fun part of her lesson, once everyone realized that wasn’t the whole topic. “Good day to you too, Treyen,” she replied with a nod, as he made his way to a seat. Yes, this lesson was going to be fun. She hoped so, at least.

Another person who had gotten distracted by the shiny, and Renée simply reached out to brush her fingers along one of her tarot cards as she waited for the Slytherin to decide if she wanted to say something. The energies were still there, even if her actual reading had been paused. It was calming to her, in any case. It seemed she still wasn’t going to be getting any direct questions about the crystal ball, though, and she smiled. “Hello, Helena,” she replied, continuing to watch as the girl looked for a seat. There were plenty left, so that search shouldn’t take long.

Renée smiled again as she watched the next first year enter her classroom brushing herself off. Perhaps she should check and make sure the dusting wasn’t being left off up here, although she hadn’t seen any problems yet. “Good day, Miss Fanster,” she replied gently. She was surprised that more people hadn’t seemed to pair off yet, get into groups. It wasn’t required, but she hoped more people would arrive. Of course, that wasn’t necessarily odd, at least with the first years, but she’d thought they would have found friends by now. People were still filtering in, however, so she hoped someone would join the little Slytherin eventually.

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.

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.

"Good day, Professor Bishop," she chirped as she eyed the tarot cards and secretly hoped that they would be doing something different. Her tarot reading with Eino last term had been fun, but she would like to try something else. Perhaps some Divination based on how a cookie crumbled or something. "I hope you and Anastasia are doing well. I have been meaning to stop by your office to say hello."

Another case of nerves, and Renée had to hope that the girl would feel better once class had started. There wasn’t a lot she could do, if it was fear of the subject itself, but she always tried. “Hello, Viola,” she replied, as the Hufflepuff greeted her, giving her a smile as she gathered up her cards finally. She was going to let more people arrive before starting the lesson, but at this rate she wasn’t about to get any readings done. Not when she was distracted every few seconds. The answers would still be there later.

Renée raised an eyebrow slightly, again, as Evelyn grumbled her way into the classroom. She had to admit, the Slytherin always seemed to make things interesting. By herself or with her friends, who she imagined would appear at one point or another. They usually did. “Hello Evelyn,” she returned with a smile, as the girl continued her search for a seat. There were still several open, which was the only reason she hadn’t decided to create more seats. People really seemed to be coming to lessons this term, and she only half hoped that it was a reaction to what she’d heard of the new professors.

More people were flitering in, so Renée abandoned watching to see if Evelyn ever found a seat to her liking. It seemed she had, anyway, with Salander and Alex near the front, so she turned a welcoming smile to the newest arrival as she spoke. “Hello Miss Dubois,” she replied, stopping herself from exercising her meager knowledge of other languages. It wouldn’t necessarily make people feel more comfortable, and she’d greeted her in English anyhow. It seemed seats weren’t becoming an issue quite yet, anyhow, so things were still going fine. People were grouping themselves with friends, and she hoped it would all work out in the end.

Just after Danielle, it seemed Mia had decided to appear and Renée gave the Hufflepuff a smile as she managed to run into Treyen. Apparently she was another one who was relieved by the familiarity, which created even more wondering about if the rumors were true. That the Ministry professors were truly, well, different. “Hello Mia,” she replied with another smile, finding the interchange between the girl and Treyen quite amusing, along with the rush of cheerfulness that had swept in with Mia. She’d never thought seats would be that difficult of a decision, but then she hadn’t noticed that the prefect was still standing either.

Gathering her Tarot cards into a neat stack next to the crystal ball, Renée thought about just checking on a few other little things that she could determine. Before she could do much more than brush her fingers over the stack, she saw Luna come in and nodded. At least the ratio of new students to ones she remembered wasn’t entirely skewed, as she hadn’t really noticed during the feast. “Hello Luna,” she replied with a smile as the Ravenclaw started getting things out for the lesson quietly. That was expected, to say the least, but she didn’t want the girl closing herself off from the energies around her.
