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.
Penny heard the girl call out for any free groups...."Sure, you welcome to join us over here" she said with a smile....
"Thats actually a good idea Niss... I seem to remember something about that too.... but how would it work?..I mean would you be seeing the present or future?"..said Penny with a smile, glad that Niss was getting involved int the debate..

Rose leaned across and introduced herself to Janice..."Hi i'm Rose, Gryffindor, first year..."..
Rose had been very quiet for a while, thinking.... then suddenly had a brain wave.."Can mirrors be used for Scrying?... I have a vision about some woman like a thousand year ago using a mirror to see the face of her future husband or something.."

I would imagine most serious Diviners wouldn’t use their crystal balls as paperweights, however. Not the ones they specifically use, as that could dim the orb’s power.” At least, that was her opinion. One didn’t usually use their wand for anything other than magical things, most of the time, and that should extend to other magical tools as well.
She turned and set the crystal ball in question back on her table, then returned her attention to the class in order to speak again. “Scrying, as so many of you have touched on,” whether or not they realized it, “is a method of using reflections, images, to gain insight into the past, present and future. of course, the reflections that one sees aren’t really there, but merely visions brought about through focus and reflected in the orb or whatever is used. Not only crystal balls can be used, in fact, for scrying. Does anyone want to suggest something else that could be used?” Eventually they would get to the actual activity she had planned, but touching on scrying was always in her plans. Everything was related when it came to Divination anyhow.
ooc: Moving things along . . . Same rules apply as usual. (and those who replied to the first question all get one point)
Kimalia frowned hearing everyone's answers, she merely wrote down in her notes what seemed to be the plausible answer.
SPOILER!!: notes
Divination requires scrying, doesn't require a crystal ball but anything that has a reflection like say a mirror, water, glass screens, even floors (ones that are clean enough)
She then yawned, the room was very warm and causing her to feel drowsy. Ugh, so not sleeping in class. She shook her hand and turned her attention back to the Professor.

Whether, for example, you think it’s in fact possible for someone to think they see images that can predict things in a mirror.

We can discuss your ideas again before moving along.” It could be dangerous, but she knew she could control them. And keep the possible pyromaniacs away from her crystal ball and lighting the curtains on fire or something.
ooc: I have work tomorrow, but I’ll be back after I get home again to check on you guys, continue things. So basically, you can have a character in your groups write the ideas down as you discuss them, or at least somehow keep track and we can have a little debate after I’m done with work again. I’ll try to continue things after a day, but at the latest I’ll move the lesson along after Weds. night when I’ll have time again. Try not to get too crazy, though, and I will definitely try to check in as often as I can. And this is not the official practical activity for the lesson. Just another fun way of having discussion. Points for participation are up for grabs though.
Kimalia looked around at the other paired up before sighing. Partnerless again, Kimalia smiled despite her disappointment and called out, "Anyone need a partner?"

Which would be fine if she had her iPod, but..iPods didn't work up here for some godforsaken reason, they worked out doors, in someplaces but not on this floor, and for that reason, she was glad she was a gryfindor. Okay, Amy grinned at the little person, whats going on? She asked, chewing her lip when she arrived, I sort of..feel asleep with my eyes openzoned out

Penny smiled as the older girl came over..."Hi i'm Penny, this is Rose, Becca and Janice - who we call Niss" said Penny as she indicated the other girls at the table....then adding "we're calling ourselves 'Badgers & Lions'"

Amy grinned as she took out her own note book, looking at the girls one by one. Oh.

Oh yeah, I'm Amy, another Badger, she grinned at them all, before having a look at their notes.
They're good she grinned at them, whats the actual task though? So we keep to it, she'd forgotten how many times she'd began to ramble and forget about the task. Always good to check

Not again! Viola really didn't feel comfortable teaming up with others, for some reason. She kinda preferred working on her own. Now, she'll have to find someone to team up with. Bleh! She overheard someone saying something about Badgers and Lions. It sounded interesting and she decided to ask that girl if Viola could join her. Viola was a badger, after all. She walked up to that girl and said, "Hi. I'm Viola. Umm..can I join you guys?" Since, she noticed a few others seated nearby.

A discussion, hmm?
Sierra didn't have much to discuss, except for the fact that she still didn't believe this Divination stuff was real. She thought scrying was just a good way of saying people had pictured something so much and so often that they were imagining themselves seeing it in a crystal ball. Or in a fire, smoke, or body of water. Whatever.
She wrote this down on a piece of parchment before looking around the room to see if anyone was worth partnering up with.
"Hey, Zara!" Tayla greeted when she noticed Zara seated at the table next to hers. "Hi Kurumi!" she said again, seeing Kurumi near her as well. "I think...I think people often see what they want to see. Not really what the future will be," Tayla began in response to Kurumi's statement.
"I was thinking about lakes and other still bodies of water...even puddles. I don't think they'd cloud over or anything, like a crystal ball is supposed to do...but haven't people since...I dunno how long ago...well, they look at their images in bodies of water? For some hope or...advice...?"
Tayla furrowed her eyebrows. She wasn't sure what she meant exactly.
As she was asking the opinions of her, uhm, table-mates, she heard her name from behind. Zara turned around as saw Tayla sitting there. "Oh, hey there Tayla." Zara smiled. "How's your discussion with your table-mates?"
"Nice to meet you," Helena said, this time grinning. "I'm Helena," she added, taking a seat next to Feenella. Maybe working with someone nice couldn't be that bad, right?
"About crystal balls?" The girl asked, a little bit confused. Well... besides the fact that they were shiny and Helena loved shiny things, "I guess we can see the most clear images in them. And mirrors." But Helena found mirrors a bit creepy, when it came to Divination. "I mean... imagine seeing some images" of the future? "in... the reflexion of a crystal." Or something like that. Hopefully, she'll understand what Helena's point was.
"What do you think?"
Fee smiled at the girl and twirled her quil in her hand."Nice to meet you too.",she said friendly.Oh Helena,that was a really pretty name.hehe.Maybe pairing up wasnt that bad after all.You never knew what it could lead to.hehe.
The Slytherin listened to her partner intensely and nodded here and there."I think crystal balls are the most effective method to scrype",the Slytherin said,"the possibilty that what you're gonna see in that ball is going to happen is higher than with anything."Ohh mirrors in divination?They were pretty scary,seriously."If i saw someone esle in the mirror as who was in a room with me i would run away screaming",she chuckled.

So... if Feenella was nodding, that meant that Helena's ideas weren't that bad, right? But... Divination was difficult. For Helena at least. And difficult to understand.
"You're right," she nodded in agreement, as Feenella was talking about the crystal ball. "But I'm curious why," she said, then stopped for a moment to think about it. "I mean... you can see the most clear images in a crystal ball because... ? It's crystal?" If that made any sense at all? Why weren't the images in the water the clearest ones? It was getting confusing.
"You're not the only one," Helena said, slightly blushing. Maybe she'd instantly have a heart attack if she saw someone in the mirror who wasn't supposed to be there. And THAT's why mirrors could be so creepy.

Lucy looked around to pair up with some one, she turned to her right and saw Helena, Lucy knew her, they always met in Divination class. Lucy went close to her and said "Hey Helena, how're you? can i join you too" saying that she grabbed a seat next to her.
She thought a little on Professors and said "hmm, i think we could use any smooth surface like a bowl of liquid or a pond or a crystal too, to do scrying, what do you think?" she asked Helena giving a sweet smile. She didn't actually knew why was she smiling but she just smiled at her.

That's what someone familiar with crystal balls may expect. But I think I would see the present in the clearest form; things hidden, things misunderstood, things not clear, even things lost. That's what I would expect to see in a crystal ball." He was confident in his answer whether right or wrong at the least he would now know what to expect if he did look into a crystal ball.
True, Cassie was almost completely lost in this class. She had been listening and taking notes on her scented parchment paper but for whatever reason it felt like it wen into through one ear and came out through the next. She needed to take action. Spotting Jai or rather hearing him, she decided that having a partner would be a lot more effective in keeping up with the class, so she walked over and took a seat next to him."Hey, need a partner?"

He opened his book and began writing as he waited for her answer.

Cassie thought for a moment. What was her take on it? Well she had several takes on divinition itself but that was for another day wasn't it? She tilted her head to the side as she looked at Jai before replying to his question.
"Well for starters, I suppose we can look at the similarities between the objects that are used in scrying. The mirror, the crystal ball and water for instance are all similar in that they reflect objects. They also require you to be still in order to properly focus on what is being reflected as well. Well really the object and the person observing have to be still to get any sort of scrying done." She shrugged, that was the first thing that came to her mind when she thought about it.

Talon smirked. A debate? All right,might as well. He didn't really like this subject,mainly because you couldn't really predict the future or see things in a ball. If you wanted to see something and you were looking in different angles,well then,you might see anything. But same thing with clouds,right? Would looking at the clouds and seeing shapes count as scrying? He wrote down notes on this and then glanced around the room to see if there was anybody who didn't have a partner.
Kimalia frowned hearing everyone's answers, she merely wrote down in her notes what seemed to be the plausible answer.

Jai nodded as he too thought about it."Scrying is like seaching for something and using a reflection of an object would facilitate that. Of course, it would mean looking passed the reflection of yourself and further for whatever you wanna see. Like using the surface of perfectly still water. You'd have to look passed the reflection, passed whatever is beyond the surface of the water and into the whatever you're looking for." he added. Well, that was his understanding so far.

"Aww c'mon Janice!" Rebecca said with a smile and a laugh. "Don't be shy. That's my job!" Okay, now she needs to focus, don't you think? "I got another," she said. "What about really smooth rocks. Since you can see a reflection and they can move with magic!"
" I could use aperson to heelp me with classwork" William told her. " my name is William Starr" he introduced himself.
" How about joining me for the discussion" William said to her. " My name is William Montcenaggio aka Starr.
Who wants to write everything down?" William asked the girls. William raised his hand. "You can use a mieeor for better reflection in scrying." William esplained to the professor.
Beth turned her head to the left and saw a boy. "Yeah, thanks." She agreed, blushing slightly. She always blushed when people she didn't know talked to her. She was just that sort of person, shyish really. "I'm Beth Lourie, short for Bethany by the way, not Elizabeth. I'm in third year, Ravenclaw. To be honest I wasn't paying a whole amount of attention so maybe you could fill me in?" She asked hopefully.
Kyle looked over around her table, and nervously looked around. She was, and truly felt a little bit 'out of place' right now. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk with people but it was, she was still quite shocked by what her own cousin had said...that was - was inexcusable the only way she could have known that would have been reading her diary, or - or eavesdropping.
Clearing her throat, she spoke softly. "Soooo" the elongated and awkward 'so' was so extremely awkward. Gulp. "Um, do any of you guys want to partner up or do you want to - er - talk as a group?" She asked eyes wide with shock still.
Glancing over to Simon she suddenly broke out into a fit of awkward laughter. "Sorry about earlier - I-I don't know where she got that from" she tried to be less awkward but that was hard when people assumed you were dating someone you just so happened to think was nice - and quite possibly liked.

"Thank you," she politely replied with a smile. Zara nodded as Kyle introduced her cousin. But they've already met before. Hannah, the girl with tattoos. Eep. Hihi. Then Caroline and Simon. Zara nodded again as she smiled to each one of them.
"Oh, that's good," she smiled back to Hannah and nodded.
"Nice to meet you too," she replied. Then likewise, she also took out her parchment and ink and quills.
With this, Zara turned to face the rest of the people at her table and smiled. "Any ideas? I could probably write them down if you want."

Clearing her throat, she spoke softly. "Soooo" the elongated and awkward 'so' was so extremely awkward. Gulp. "Um, do any of you guys want to partner up or do you want to - er - talk as a group?" She asked eyes wide with shock still.
Glancing over to Simon she suddenly broke out into a fit of awkward laughter. "Sorry about earlier - I-I don't know where she got that from" she tried to be less awkward but that was hard when people assumed you were dating someone you just so happened to think was nice - and quite possibly liked.
"We can work together as a group. Would make sense the way the tables were laid out and Zara already volunteered to take notes," Simon replied glancing momentarily at the younger girl in question. His attention drawn back to Kyle as he heard her laughter.
"Its...alright. No harm done," he assured her even though deep down what had happened had raised questions for him. The Gryffindor pushed it aside to try and concentrate on actual classwork. "How about the fact that whatever medium is used that it has to be clear to avoid distraction or an error in reading because you think something is there in the scrying when its not, its on the surface being used..." His attention now on the group as a whole as he spoke and waited for the rest of the discussion.
