Divination lesson 3
 

Up front Thereos is standing looking down at a big tea pot that is giving off a small whoosh sound to alert the owner that the water in it is hot. There are no human occupants currently in the room.



[OCC: Feel free to post arriving. Class officially starts tomorrow at around 3pm GMT. Remember to keep chatting to a minimun.

Victoria poked her head in the Divination Classroom. Ehh...she had hoped the centaur would be sick or something, and they'll have a substitute. Or even running away to the forest, back with the other centaur. But no, there he is, standing over a large tea pot.

Oooh...the tea pot...so they're going to read tea leaves at last? About time, thought Victoria. They had been wasting the last two, precious lessons interpreting shapes out of the moon...the water...whatever they've been doing. It's not that Victoria dislikes Divination. Believe it or not, she thinks it's quite interesting. It's just that her favorite type of Divination is tesseography, and the centaur wouldn't be bothering her so much if she's so into the class. Why did a centaur have to come a teach. Why not a human?

Victoria stepped into the room, and noticed she's the first one there. Oh great, the first and only so far. Victoria gave the centaur a stiff nod and mumbled something that's suppose to be a greeting, and sat down in a seat furthest in the classroom. As far away from the centaur as possible.

August had been to both Divination lessons so far this term and he wasn't about to miss the third. The young Gryffindor walked into the classroom on the first floor expecting to see a whole room of students and a centaur professor but was suprised to only see one other person in there.

Hmmm...he was early. Going over and taking a seat, Auggie pulled out his parchment and waited for the lesson to start.

Jordan poked his head around the door, wondering how many other people were in the classroom. He saw two other people there... Well, the class hadn't started yet so. He walked in and went over to take his seat. However, not before he had greeted his professor, "Good day!" he smiled before he took his seat.

Alyssa walked into the Divination Class. She saw the Professor staring into a big tea pot. I wonder are we going to be reading tea leaves this time. I guess we'll find out soon enough'. So before taking a seat she walked up to greet the Professor, "Hello Professor. It's good to be back in your class." Once she greeted the Professor, she went and sat down at the nearest table, took out her journal and writing materials and waited for class to start.

Kennedy made his way to Divination class, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He wished he could be under his warm covers, sleeping the day away. Sure, the day was pretty and all, but sleep sounded better after all the finals he's had to do. He couldn't wait until they were out of school.

He slid into one of the front desks and said, "Good day, Professor Thereos." He also couldn't wait until this class was over.

So. This was it. Their last meeting with the Centaur... right? It wasn't like he was a permanent teacher in Hogwarts, no? That was what she thought, anyway. "Good day mister Thereos." She smiled at the half man and walked on to sit on one of the front desks.

She might not be the brightest in Divination but she, sure, was to pay attention this time.

Zhenya walked into class and sat down.

Kurumi had tried to convince Jonathan that he should attend Divination as it would help him with his OWLs, but there was no making him budge. Part of it was the boy's stubborn side, but mostly it was due to his boggart being the very being teaching the class. Kurumi could hardly expect him to push that aside all for the sake of learning although she had tried.

Walking in, Kurumi took her usual seat in the front and made sure that the one next to her was open for Selina, and turned her attention towards Thereos. "Good day, Professor Thereos," she smiled while she set her book on the table. She glanced up at the teapot that was making an awful lot of noise. Seemed like today's lesson would have to do with Tasseomancy...perhaps. "Sir, I believe your water is ready." It would be bad it it boiled over after all.

After the last lesson, Beatrice had the feeling that she did not want to attend Divination again. But she knew it was highly necessary. So she walked into the Divination classroom, almost dragging her legs.

She kept her head down as she went inside, "Good day Thereos." Then she walked over to her usual seat and busied herself with her egg in Charms.

" HEllo "William told the professor.

Wiliam looked at Minerva. He has to do his work. He passed her to go sit somewhere else this time. William saw Beezus.

" May I sit next to you?" William asked Beezus. " It would be a pleasure to sit next yo you" William said to Beezus.

As Alyssa waited for class to start, she couldn't help but notice that the Professor's tea pot was boiling. How could she not notice. It's whistle was loud enough to wake the dead. She didn't know whether to offer any help or even let him know that it was boiling because she didn't want to say or do anything wrong that would offend him. So she just sat at her desk and kept silent but at the same time hoped that someone else would go and tell him or help him out.

Ira entered the Divination classroom, wishing for a cancelled lecture or something. Today, she really wasn't in the mood to study Divination, well, its another thing, that she probably never is in the mood to study!

Entering the classroom, the first thing she noticed was the loud whistling of the tea pot. She looked at Thereos and back again at the tea pot. So maybe they were gonna read future through boiling water. Merlins!

"Good day, Professor Thereos." she smiled to Thereos.

Ashley wasn't too sure how he was doing with Divination, since he never really got all the parts of it. When they had to draw things or make things, he was fine, but actually finding out anything... he really wasn't too good at that. Still, he came to class, ready to work on whatever was going to happen today. "Hello," he said to Thereos as he walked by, though he became slightly distracted by the teapot, and didn't finish his greeting, getting caught up in wondering about it. Thankfully, he wasn't too distracted to find a seat, which he did quickly, settling in and letting other things take over his mind until class started.

'Hello Proffeser'Luna half smilied Divination well she couldn't have been less bothered with it but...

"Good day!" Thereos said to all the student's on time. The group seemed smaller than last lesson, but no matter. With a slight shrug he turned to look into the eyes of girl in yellow and black robes, a Hufflepuff who had asked him a question."Fantastic, I'll let you help with the tea pot in just a bit, all right?" Clattering over to it he removed the lock to stop the pot from whistling too badly. Wizard inventions were handy sometimes, but did they have to be so loud?

Hearing another girl's with a red crested badge on her chest Thereos decide to ignore her for now. It was obvious that the tea was nice, hot and ready. Clearing his throat he adressed the class "Now then in what type of divination could a tea pot be essential?"

"There is Tasseomancy, sir," Kurumi said with her hand raised. She wouldn't mind having a nice hot cup of tea right about now. If nothing else it would certainly help her relax. Although, she didn't exactly like how cold the centaur had suddenly become with her. Seemed to be a trend recently with some classes. Oh well...

Raising her hand, Louisa talked, "Reading tea leaves, sir?" It must have a scientific name for the department but Louisa's mind was not concentrating on the answer, she had an important letter to send after class. "We boil them in." Or that was what she thought.

Ira had read somewhere that tea leaves too could be used for predictions, though now she didn't exactly remember what that science was called... She had seen a muggle psychic perform this art near her house once.

Still, she raised her hand up and answered, "A tea pot will be essential for reading of tea leaves, right Sir? I mean, we can predict future based on the pattern formed by tea leaves at the bottom of the cup."

Jordan raised his hand, "We could use the teapot in the preparation of reading tea leaves?" he said. He'd seen muggles attempt this, it never quite worked for them! Oh well.. Hopefully that was a correct answer of sorts.

Alyssa raised her hand. "Professor a tea pot would be brewing tea, so could we be using the tea leaves later after the tea is drunk to do a divination reading?".

William raised his hand. " The teapot is used for putting tea in there" William told the professor. " Then yo ucan read the tea leaves in the pot" William said to the professor.
