I'm gonna kick her to the sea." said her kidding. Off course she was! Raven didn't have any sister. The only worst thing that she do to Avian just make himself locked at the bathroom. Although Avian said her was sucks, but actually he loved her. Raven was the only sister he had and closed to him, since Adler was in Hogwarts.

Maaann... I miss Avian...

"Do you have any siblings besides the twins?" asked her.

"And my little brother, Avian. Both of them were nice. But we seldom be together. He was already in Hogwarts when I was 3 years old. After graduated, he decided lived alone at a small apartment in London." said her.

"My dad and the rest of his family were Slytherin. Meanwhile, my mom was a Ravenclaw. Some of her family were in Ravenclaw too, but some of them including my grandpa were Gryffindor. Both of them like to bet about the sorting." Then she continued to giggle again...

"And my mom had lost 200 galleons because Adler and me was not a Ravenclaw!"

"I don't know.." said Raven doubtful.

"But.. It was silly actually. Thank Merlin they didn't have any bet when Adler took the MoM placement."

December 2nd / 5:30 in the afternoon / by the swimming pond
It took about an hour before I saw something in my bowl. I did not see a bird, but a bat. Upon doing research in the library, I found that bats can take on the meaning of all things being connected, keen observation, ability to see through illusion. They are also a very sociable creature, so one could say that the bat's appearance is directly to my reading in class where the V-shape indicated that friends were important.

The bat's flight pattern started off as a bouncing, up and down, pattern. This flight patter signifies a path full of surprises and that life may be and will be nudging you in all sorts of different directions in order to change your life's path. It also means that it may be time to take chances and not shy away from the direction life is pushing you towards. A few bumps will help you on your way to greatness.

The bat's flight changed to more of a zig zag pattern. As was mentioned in class, this flight pattern is related to the up and down pattern, only more dramatic. It means that one needs to let oneself be surprised by the sudden sharpness in life's directions and that the changes are not always bad.

I think what this reading it trying to tell me is that I need to stop running away from the changes that have been happening to me. While I am sure you, Thereos, are not too interested in hearing the woes of a teenage girl...let's just say that this term has been anything but what I expected. Someone who I thought I would never see again came back and turned my world completely on its head - along with some things that were still carrying over from last term. I pushed, quite literally actually, this person away because of what happened and have been taking everything they have said to me with a grain of salt, but perhaps this isn't showing the keen observation or the ability to see through illusion that the bat represents. Not only that, but the zig zag pattern indicated that not all change could be bad, so perhaps I need to take a step back and reevaluate the situation.

In other areas, areas and relations with people that have been changing and moving in different directions, I suppose I need to go with the flow and just let go. See where it leads me. Seems like I need to come right out and share my opinion and ask the difficult questions to a few people.

Her last attempt at doing this assignment hadn't proven very fruitful, so hopefully today she would get something. First reading had been a bat...and considering that it was around lunch time now, she doubted that she would be seeing any bats right now.

Sitting Indian style on the ground, Kurumi arranged her rocks around her water filled bowl. Now all she had to do was wait for...whatever was going to appear in the cloudless sky. Maybe the Whomping Willow would smack a bird her direction or something. Would that

Her stomach grumbled, so she reached into her pockets for some of the turkey and cheese sandwiches she had made earlier and began to nibble on them.

Half way through her sandwich, Kurumi spotted something in her bowl, and she peered in closer. Yep, there was definitely a bird there...a hawk perhaps hovering in the air. Suddenly, it dove forwards and its shadow vanished from her bowl. "Diving...diving...diving..." she muttered to herself as she scanned her notes, finally finding what she was looking for. "...go head first into something. You don't want just your heart in it, but your mind has to be there too."

Of course she did have a scarf keeping her warm... a scarf that she had grown accustomed to wearing every time she went out. It was warm.

As she walked past the Whomping Willow she noticed a familiar head of silky hair. She walked up behind the girl and attacked her with a snowball, "You have been attacked by the Selina Skylar Snowball MONSTER!"

Then she laughed and took a seat beside her, "So what are you doing, Rumi?"

I didn't get a good look at the bird, but from its circling flight pattern seen only for a brief moment, I think that it may have been a hawk. Hawks represent a need to focus your perspectives. Know what you seek, be patient and strike at the heart of your goal. Furthermore, the main flight pattern that I saw was a downwards diving movement is telling me that - assuming it is connected with my previous readings - that the concerns raised in them are those that I have to put on the front burner instead of the back and handle immediately. Avoiding them or allowing them to linger will only prevent my individual growth.

Kurumi lunged forward and her face sunk under the surface of the water in her bowl. Water dripping off her chin and the back of her head cold from the snowball that had connected with the back of her head, Kurumi found that her body temperature had dropped several degrees in a matter of seconds.

Using the sleeve of her robe, Kurumi tried to dry her face as best she could. Squinting a bit, all she was able to make out was red hair and someone calling her Rumi.

WAIT?! Was it Cam?! The former lioness prefect had been the only person to ever call her such. But...wasn't she off somewhere fantastic with Oliver? Kurumi felt very confused now.

"Why are you..." she said as she peeked through her wet bangs. "Oh...it's you Selina." She looked down at her bowl that was now mostly empty since its contents were all over her face now. "Divination homework. I, um...just saw a bird diving down towards something...so it means I need to dive head first into whatever it is I am struggling or worried about." Her cheeks flushed. "I just don't think I have the courage to do so..." Yep, she was a pretty pathetic lion.

Only a few more months of this cold weather and she could wear shorts again. Then again Selina was always saying that about every season. Whichever season it was she was longing for the other. Weather never appeased her.

She looked around at the equipment that Kurumi had out and noticed that it was the Divination homework. As Kurumi started to explain Selina cringed. She hated the new Divination Professor. He was nothing short of annoying and the fact that he had taken away a few house points from Selina because she noticed that he was a bloody horse really annoyed her. She knew more about Divination then he ever would... because she lived it everyday.

When her thoughts traveled to her visions she leaned away from the equipment a bit. She did not want to trigger anything. Now that she could make visions come at will she was having a slightly easier time with the whole vision ordeal, but they still did come at random every so often; she did not want to chance a random vision from the equipment.

"Well you know I suppose you just have to..." It clicked, "Wait... what don't you have the courage to do? I mean we haven't spoken seriously for a few weeks... what's been up with you that your afraid?"

"Selina...d-don't get mad," she said softly. Nice way to start things off, right? That was just asking for Selina to turn more red than she already was. "But...I know you understand how it feels...to like someone but be afraid to tell them...or even think that you SHOULD say something to them." She hugged her knees to her chest and rested her head on her knees.

Until she realized that all she had done was pull her legs into her chest, that was much less impressive than actually folding herself into a pretzel. That pose her friend was holding was deceitful. It looked much harder than it actually was in reality.

But then, by the mere posture of her best friend, she could tell that something was wrong. When she cautioned Selina not to get mad Selina put her hand on Kurumi's shoulder, "Hey I promise I won't get mad-" Why did she have to bring up Simon? He was a sensitive subject for Selina and he was even more of a hard topic now that she and Gideon had...were...well she was still figuring out that one. Although that did not make Kurumi's words sting any less, "Yeah I know what you mean. Who do you like and why is it such a problem for you to tell them...?" She started to rub her friends back to make her feel better until it finally stopped sharply, "Wait... we aren't talking about Adam Burn are we?" She still didn't trust him.

Although, she couldn't deny that she still felt something for him. He was, after all, her first friend in the wizarding and her first friend in general. There was a lot of emotions tied to him - both positive and negative. "Although, we are sort of on speaking terms..."

She peeked up at Selina. Remember, you promised you wouldn't get mad...

"I've...been confused since her left though, and you know better than anyone else that I am utter rubbish when it comes to these things. I didn't even know that Connor liked me until he went screaming through the corridors that he loved me." Which still gave her the creeps to be honest. "Then there was the mess with Treyen where I was so sure that he was returning my feelings...only to find out that he felt nothing of the sort...and, well...there are two guys..." She buried her face in her hands, more out of embarrassment than anything else. Her cheeks were on fire at the moment.
