Sunday, 26 February 2012 @ 6pm EST through Thursday, 1 March 2012 @ Midnight EST
Where:
In the newly relocated Divination Classroom on the Ground Floor
Other:
Bringing your brains and a keen eye might help. Books will not.
The classroom on the Ground Floor was rather non-descript - the desks were arranged in two neat rows which were separated by a wide aisle. At the front of the classroom stood Thereos, who was patiently awaiting the arrival of the students for his astrology lesson.

Dismissed? Already? Kurumi had sort of been hoping to have an in-class session on how to use their charts properly before being thrown into the great unknown on their own, but Thereos seemed to have other plans. Trouble in the forest he needed to tend to perhaps?
Gathering up her things, Kurumi threw her bag over her shoulder and decided to make one last attempt to bring up the discussion that the Headmaster suggested she take up with the centaur. "Thank you for the lesson, Thereos," she said a little hurriedly. She had other things on her mind. "I was, um, actually wondering something and was told by the Headmaster to ask you about it. You see, myself and other student discovered a comet a while ago...before all the creatures starting appearing on the grounds..."

Alyssa picked up her chart, rolled it and put it into her bag. Then she made her way to where the Professor was waiting. "Thank you for another interesting lesson, Professor,"Alyssa told the Professor, before heading out the door.
Carigan was shocked at the sudden end of the class. Divination was her favourite class and wanted to continue! Oh well, all good things must end.
"Thank you fr the lesson, professor. Divination is my favourite subject." She said before packing up all of her supplies then heading out the door then down toward the kitchens and her common room.

Accepting a worksheet as the centaur passed them out, Gideon looked it over as Thereos explained certain things about it. The Gryffindor would definantly need to ask his mum for the exact time for his birth for it wasn't exactly something he vividly remembered. That and location seeing as it was either at home or London. With that being thought of, he figured he'd at least fill it out as much as he could for now.

He had just about finished setting it all down and ready to await the next part when class was brought to a seemingly early conclusion. The stars were showing something...the centaur said so they were to finish their work for homework. Um...okay. So Gideon packed up his work and his belongings and headed out. "Um...thanks for the lesson," he told Thereos before moving to leave, catching what Kurumi said about a comet and pausing in step.

He continued to walk around the classroom and observed the students at work."You may have noticed that there are four primary angles on your horoscope chart. These are the First House, the Tenth House, the Seventh House, and the Fourth House. I shall not tell you what these mean - definitions will be part of your homework. Your next step is to number the twelve houses. The houses of the horoscope represent different spheres of life, described in terms of physical surroundings as well as personal life experiences."
Homework, which meant more Divination homework. Yippy skippy...
Sierra dipped her quill in her bottle of ink then positioned the quill toward the drawing she'd been working on. She twisted her paper this way and that way, wondering where she should start. Her eyebrows had just narrowed inward when she heard Hollingberry speak up and ask the very thing she was thinking. Hmm...she and Hollingberry saw eye to eye on something, even if it was confusion. Stranger things had happened.

His hooves clattered loudly on the flagstones as he moved towards his unused desk. He gathered the stack of papers and began handing them out. "It's obvious that you must write your full name where it says 'Name.' I do hope that all of you know your own names."
He glanced at the paper. "Then you must write down your date of birth and the time you were born, as well as the exact geographic location of your birth. If you do not know these, then you will need to owl your parents and ask for the details which should be found on your birth certificates."
Thereos scratched his bearded chin. "For the geographic location, you need the coordinates in latitude and longitude, hence an atlas will be needed. But for now, please fill in what you know."
Sierra looked up at Thereos and nodded as he explained how the paper should be numbered. She started in the location nine o'clock should be in, and then she numbered all around the drawing.
Accepting a worksheet, she began to label it.
Name: Sierra Hope Greingoth
Date of Birth: March 17, 2062
Time of Birth: 10:46 A.M.
Place of Birth: London, England
Umm, yeah. She didn't know the coordinates of London, England. She'd figure out those later on.

Then finally, it was time to go. Sierra's whole face brightened with a smile as she collected her things. She made note of the homework then slung her bag over her shoulder and exited the room.

She accepted the worksheet from Thereos and began filling it out.

Time of Birth: 1:17 A.M.

After Thereos dismissed the class, Nerida smiled and stood up and put all of her belongings back into her bag. This was a great lesson, it may have been short but it was really good!
