After making your long journey to the seventh floor and after ascending the Divination Tower you finally arrive at the trap door leading up to the Divination Classroom--what can you say, the Hogwarts Staff wanted only the dedicated students to attempt the subject. After climbing the ladder into the classroom you will see that the once nearly empty room from the two previous terms before is now full of desks again and many other items brought by it's new inhabitant.
Go ahead and take a seat at one of the many chairs set up two to a small table on the risers at the far end of the room but as he you do you will pass the Professor's desk where a number of incense were burning. The room was stuffy as usual, with curtains pulled overly the windows.
Professor Elwood was seen sitting at her desk a small smile on her face as she nevously awaited the students of her first lesson as a teacher. Her parrot Galileo was sitting on his perch in the far corner of the room with a small sign on him that said, "Do NOT feed for fear of losing a finger!'.
The lesson shall begin shortly.
OCC: Welcome to my first lesson ever! Be sure to read the Divination Classroom Rules and familiarize yourself with them. I don't want to have to take points this early in the term. Also I will be updating this post with links to important things through the lesson so you won't be lost.

Urgh. Divination. not only did she completely not get this subject, but she had to traipse ALL THE WAY up to the seventh floor!
The room itself made her want to have a snooze.. 'Hello, professor!' Thea called brightly as she entered the room. Ooh, another new one? Mhm.
Wow, the walk up to the tower was long and it was TALL. She was panting a bit but on the way down it would be better. She didn't know why she took divination she wasn't a seer or anything special like that and she wasn't into exploring the future much but it had a cool name. And names were the reason sometimes she liked things.
Before taking a seat she greeted the professor. "Hello Professor! Hope your having a good day!" she said with a cheerful smile.

So Divination was going be Allegra's first subject on her comeback to Hogwarts. She didn't feel free enough to say she loved it, but it was good for the time being.
Walking across the room in her rather quiet manner, she quickly grabbed a seat and mumbled a quick greeting: "Good morning, Professor."

Hurrying to the Divination classroom, Kurumi wore a small scowl on her face. Honestly, if it weren't for Selina she probably would have dropped the subject long ago. Actually...that was probably a lie. Kurumi couldn't NOT attend a lesson no matter how much she disliked the subject and thought that it was rubbish and a bunch of guesswork.
Entering the classroom, Kurumi hurried to take her usual seat next to Selina and bowed quickly in the professor's direction. "Good day, Professor Elwood," Kurumi said with a somewhat forced smile on her face. She was here, just like she said she would be. Minus cookies. And with that, Kurumi took her seat next to Selina, setting her parchment and quill out on the table. Her eyes fell on the parrot in the corner and her eyes widened. If...they were going to lose a finger...why have it in the classroom?
"Hey Selina," Kurumi grumbled. "Have you found the professor's office yet?" It was hard to find considering that it looked like a storage closet on the outside with all that STUFF in the hallway.

Jezzabelle was ever so grateful that she had managed to maintain her position on the sixth floor because walking up a bazillion stairs was not worth on class. Then again, she hadn't really payed much attention in the last Divination class and maybe she'd actually enjoy what the new Professor had to teach.
Poking her head up through the trap door she looked around the room and nodded. It didn't seem too terribly packed yet right? She finished making her way in through the door and she crossed over to a seat that was empty. "Hello Professor..." Not only did she have to learn new names last year she had to learn more new names this year. Not fun.
She landed in the seat nearest the front but kind of front and center. It wasn't comfortable per say, what with the incense wafting in the air towards her. She would manage though.

Mika made her way to the classroom of the molting Professor and couldn't help but let out an audible squeak when she saw the parrot on its stool. it was so cute. What? They could be cute. Couldn't they?
"Hello Professor Ellwood!" she smiled as she made her way into the room and glanced around for anyone that she knew. "I'm Amelia Kaikoura Johanson" she smiled, and bounced on her feet. "Sooooo nice birdy" she smiled at it as she went to find a seat.

Theodore dragged himself to the Divination classroom, completely oblivious as to what the subject was. There was a lot here that he hadn't a clue about. But he kept his mind open.
Ughhhhhh, why did it have to be so high up!!!
After hesitating by the ladder, Theo very slowly hauled himself up and finally wandered into the room. He took a seat on one of the chairs, and looked around. One of the first again. Darn itttttttt.
"H-Hullo, professor."

"Hello Professor, I'm Zhenya," she said happily, relieved to take Divination again. She did not like that Centaur.

After climbing the ladder, she finally entered the classroom and her eyes drifted across the room directly towards the BEAUTIFUL parrot. But she wouldn't touch it. "Hello, professor," she smiled brightly at yet another unfamiliar figure, after which she took a seat somewhere in the front, waiting quietly for the lesson to start.

"Hello Professor. Welcome to Hogwarts. My name is Alyssa Potter." Alyssa introduced herself. She then noticed a parrot sitting on a perch in the far corner of the room. It was very beautiful. "Your parrot is very handsome, Ma'am." Alyssa told the Professor before giving the parrot a little wave. Alyssa then made her way to a desk, sat down, took out her journal and writing materials and lay them on the desk, before sitting back and waited for class to start.

Nevertheless, João Neves was one of the few students to show up, because he wanted to leave his mark at school before he graduated. Being one of the top 5 students or something wouldn't be too bad. So, here he was, attending a class that would never benefit him in any way at all.
Acknowledging the professor with a bow of his head, the boy found a desk somewhere in the middle and waited for the class to begin.

She finally noticed the professor and smiled at her. "Hello professor, my name is Hannah Lockwood."
She could tell that the new professor was nervous, but she already seemed nicer than the new Charms professor. That was a plus in her book. She noticed that she was one of the first people to arrive so she took a seat towards the front and waited for the lesson to start.

"Hello Professor! My name is Sarah" she said and sat down at an availabble desk and preparef her materials.

Entering the room, he saw an empty spot up front and decided to sit there. Putting his bag on the side, he saw the new Professor with a smile. Smiling back, he greeted him "Hello Professor" and then took a seat.

And there was Nora! Gwen walked towards her friend with a smirk on her face. Only as she got closer, she was able to spot the… green in the Slytherin’s hair. She used the potion!, the fourth year thought, feeling actually relieved that the hadn’t done anything stupid while brewing the colour changing potion. She gave a bright grin to Nora, making a mental note of talking to her somewhere after class. ‘Mind if I sit here?’, the girl finally asked.

Rather breathless the Ravenclaw walked into the classroom removing her bag from over her shoulder as she paused by the teacher's desk, "Hey... professor." Are those things burning what making breathing so hard or was it the thousand moving stairs she'd just raced?
Moving on, eying the parrot on her way to an empty table, Louisa plopped down on a random chair. She needed OXYGEN.

Slightly out of breath, she entered the class, and at once, scrunched up her face on smelling the burning incense. Nope, she didn't like that. And the room was as stuffy as she remembered it to be.
Smiling, she greeted the professor, "Good Day Professor!"
Then, she went ahead and plopped down, keeping her bag aside, waiting for the class to start.

After all, wasn't the future always changing depending on their actions and the decisions they made? At least, she thought so. And how could one predict the future if it was always changing?
But with a new professor, she decided to put these thoughts aside and give it a try. It sounded like it could be interesting. And if she didn't like it, she could always withdraw later, seeing as this wasn't one of the required classes.

The long journey from the dungeons to the Divination tower was a very long and difficult one, one which Delilah knew she was going to grow to resent. She'd decided to risk it today, and had her Superman socks on under her robes (which were slightly too long for her). As she entered the classroom, she looked over immediately to the teacher and smiled.
As she made her way to a table, something REALLY REALLY BRIGHT AND COLOURFUL caught her eyes.
It was a parrot! A real, living, breathing, possibly talking parrot!
Delilah's mind instantly forgot about going to a table, and instead she found herself wanting to go and find out if the parrot could talk....

Not to mention that the dark-haired girl was in a fairly good mood today.
With a rather wide smile on her face, the little and proud Gryffindor walked into the classroom. ''Hello professor!!!'' she greeted the new teacher with a shining smile right before the sight of the colourful bird took her attention. ''Hello yellow and blue bird!'' she greeted the parrot as well then after giving it a short wave, she chose a seat to herself from the front row, closest to the new professor.

The seventeen year old FINALLY entered the classroom, slightly out of breath. "Hello Professor." Evelyn smiled at the new Professor. "Welcome to Hogwarts." She might as well be nice. She made her way to one of the seats in the middle and sat down, waiting for the lesson to begin.

Boy, was she misleaded. Instead of coming up here first for the lesson, she had gone to the other classroom that had housed Divination during the only year Lily had been at Hogwarts. How would she know that the class was in the tower?...
Trudging through the entrance to the classroom, Lily sighed slightly loudly before trying to grin to the new professor. "Hey... Professor. Quite a hike to get up here, huh?" Ok... not quite the best thing to say to a Professor the first time you meet them. "Welcome to Hogwarts." That was better. Well, kinda... The second year glanced around the room and went and took a seat off to the side, dropping her bag onto the floor before pulling out a Quill and piece of parchment.

She would probably score points from the students in the 'coolness' category for having a pet parrot. Even MORE points if he talked.
He leaned back and awaited the start of their lesson.

As he searched for a good seat he passed by the new Divinations teacher "Goodmorning Professor." the Ravneclaw greeted her with a nod and a polite smile on his face. As he turned his eyes fell on the parrot perched at the corner "You have a parrot." he said, his eyes brightening considerably as his thoughts immediately went to his pet cockatoo currently reigning the owlery. He spotted the sign as his smile widened even further "A feisty one too Professor?"

Noticing the sign she stepped back a bit...
She remembered she had made a welcome card, she took it out and handed it to her.

She was taking that sign VERY SERIOUSLY.
She did sit up front though and swung her legs as she waited for the lesson to get started already.

She went up to the bird, but kept a good distance. "Hey there, birdy."
After introducing herself to the Professor (and the parrot) Pyrsephonie looked around for a second, and then took a seat in around the middle of the class.

It was only there for a moment before its owner caught up at a speedy pace, popping his head up and glancing around at the room with mild interest in his light brown eyes. Whoa. So this was the Divination classroom...
He quickly climbed the last few steps, grabbed his bag, and turned to the Professor with a polite smile. "Hello, Professor," he greeted with a brief nod and a smile before he found a seat towards the middle of the room, still glancing around himself with interest.

He paused a minute outside the classroom and was glad he did when he entered because the room was so stuffy. "Hi ma'am." he said to the professor and made his way to sit at the back of the class, but changed his mind when he was Pyrsephonie, and sat beside her. "Hi." he said quietly.

Now they were up here again, which suited her just fine, besides for all the stairs of course.
Once again there was another new teacher and as Ness walked past the new professor's desk and gave a small smile. "Good Morning, Professor." she continued walking but stopped midway to a seat.
What was that?
Her attention then turned to a bright colored thing sitting on what loooked like a perch in the corner of the classroom. It looked like..Ness walked a little closer, it looked like a..a parrot! So this Professor had a parrot? Why a parrot of all things? Who knew? Nessie certainly didn't. Maybe the professor's parrot could do magic or something, you never knew when it came to Hogwarts professors and all their weird things. Before she would go any nearer to the parrot, she noticed there was a big sign saying. 'Do NOT feed for fear of losing a finger!'.
Now that was creepy!
The badger backed away immediately and took a seat at an empty table.

She chose a seat towards the back of the room, on the highest part of the risers. Wasn't like she'd have trouble hearing. The sound of the professor's voice would travel up the risers. Emmanuelle looked around and spotted the parrot on it's perch. Wow, okay. So that was definitely different.

She was about to say hello to the new professor when she noticed the parrot beside her. She couldn't help but giggle to herself at the sign of not to feed the parrot. Of course no one would want their finger to be eaten off, but who knew, some people at Hogwarts would do such a thing. Silly people, these days. "Hello Professor, I'm Jade Skidmoore." She smiled. "I love your parrot, what's it's name?"

He made Divination something as simple as books and tea leaves. To the average student in the subject, this knowledge was great, but Selina wanted to know more. More than just the basic knowledge and he was not an open Professor in teaching new things. So spending more time in his classroom this term was not what Selina was exactly looking forward to.
As she walked into the classroom she was surprised to see that the tower once again looked like the Divination Tower. There was a personal touch to the room, as if someone had put the time into what was in the room. It brought a small smile to Selina's face as she surveyed the room. What had happened in here?
Then, sitting at a desk at the front of the room, was a blonde woman was not the horse. The redhead approached the woman with a shocked smile on her face, "Hello there Professor. I'm Selina Skylar." She stood there for a moment awkwardly not knowing what to say and then nodded and headed toward her seat.

It wasn't very safe, was it?
"Helloooo professor!" Selena chirped after swallowing her chocolate and looked around. The one thing she immediately noticed was the parrot. Then the incense and the curtains closed. Cool, maybe they'd be learning like... voodoo stuff. She read the sign the parrot had and smirked, wiggling her fingers at it. "Hellooo Mister Parrot," Selena added before taking a seat.

With a curious expression on his features, Daichi walked up the ladder and he wasn't even panting from the long walk up stairs. He was far to curious that he had not even noticed he was there already!
Looking around the seemingly normal class room, the Slytherin saw not the centaur but a real person. Taking a few steps through the tower he stood before the Professor and smiled brightly, his eyes were twinkling behind his glasses. "Hello Professor~! welcome to Hogwarts" because she was knew and all right? Daichi bowed his head and it was then that he saw a bird in the corner of his eyes. "Hiii!" he waved to the parrot after seeing the warning sign and found a seat to sit.

Usually she was the only one playing though. Apparently birds didn't like to tilt their heads as much as Anya liked them to.
And after playing with the bird, Anya found a seat by the window.
And then she continued to watch the bird...

Passing by the professor's desk, she happened to catch the nervous expression on the woman's face. She smirked in amusement. What a pushover. She just bet the woman was a Hufflepuff back in her day. She looked away long enough to find a seat then slide into it. Now, time to sit and wait for things to begin.

He had not payed attention to the new staff at the Feast, so when he found a woman sitting at the professor's desk he released a breath of relief. He didn't think he'd make it through the lesson if their professor was the centaur. Kennedy didn't have anything against them, but...it was something new that had hit him out of nowhere and he could't face it. It really confused the boy.
So, with a more calm demeanor Kennedy made his way to one of the front desks, but before he sat down he greeted the new professor. "Good day, Professor," he said, politely with a grin to it. Then he sat down, taking out a quill and parchment.

Before taking a seat she greeted the professor. "Hello Professor! Hope your having a good day!" she said with a cheerful smile.

Entering the classroom, Kurumi hurried to take her usual seat next to Selina and bowed quickly in the professor's direction. "Good day, Professor Elwood," Kurumi said with a somewhat forced smile on her face. She was here, just like she said she would be. Minus cookies. And with that, Kurumi took her seat next to Selina, setting her parchment and quill out on the table. Her eyes fell on the parrot in the corner and her eyes widened. If...they were going to lose a finger...why have it in the classroom?
"Hey Selina," Kurumi grumbled. "Have you found the professor's office yet?" It was hard to find considering that it looked like a storage closet on the outside with all that STUFF in the hallway.
Calista greated each student with a nod and a friendly hello, chuckling at the few who decided to look and make faces at her little parrot Galileo. She gave them his name, for those who asked, and waited as they all took their seats. It seemed like she had a full house of students for today's lesson.

Callie got up from her desk and walked across the room, letting the trapdoor shut with a loud snap. "Alright everyone, welcome to your first Divination Lesson of the term. I am Professor Elwood and I am happy to be teaching at Hogwarts." Calista eyed each of the little faces looking back at her and wondered for a second if they were as nervous as she was right now--probably not. She leaned against the front of her desk allowing her flowy skirt to touch the floor and her sandals.
"Now you all have hopefully noticed that I am not a Centaur," they would need their eyes checked if they hadn't noticed the lack of tail, horse hair, and extra set of legs, "but even though I am not I am still quite capable of teaching you all about Divination."
"So I know that there are probably a few of you in here today that think or have heard from someone that Divination is a weak subject filled with guesses but that is simply not true. This subject has been a tool used for ages and by different societies all over the world." Her eyebrows and forehead creased as she spoke with passion about her subject. "What I would like to do since this is our first lesson, is see where your common misconceptions and the real deal meet." Calista took a break, to try and measure what they were thinking. Hopefully they were as excited about what they were going to do today as she was.
"Firstly I want each of you to let me know what you think is one of the most important thing you should do before you even think about doing a reading or practicing any of the many forms of Divination?" She was eager to hear their answers.

Nigel was skeptical about this whole divination thing. He did think it a weak subject filled with guesses. But he was willing to give it a shot. He hears the question the teacher ask and thought about the answer. He then says "I think you need to clear your mind first"

Divination is a weak subject filled with guesses...
Could Kurumi write that one down? Because that was sort of her in a nut shell. Honestly, Kurumi was one of those people who believed that if you did not poses the Inner Eye then there was really little point in even trying. After all...looking at a glob of tea leaves at the bottom of a cup and making up what you saw and not being sure about what you were seeing...certainly sounded like guessing to her...
Still, Kurumi remained quiet, simply looking at the professor before glancing over at Selina. What she she do before getting a vision? Erm...she sort of froze...and went into a trace and looked like she really wasn't thinking about anything. Slowly, Kurumi raised her hand."Professor, first you should...clear your mind of all distractions and thoughts?" Or find a Seer or a centaur. "And....um...get your supplies so you can actually do the reading."
Although that came after you had decided to do a reading. Whatever. This was GUESSwork already.

Zhenya couldn't help but let a small laugh escape. She sure was NOT a centaur, but that just made this Professor so much better immediately. He was rude and mean and she didn't like him one bit! Which was horrible because she liked this class.
She raised her hand and said, "Professor I find the most useful thing to do before practicing Divination is to clear my mind. If I'm thinking about something, usually in great detail, I just can't focus on Divination," she said.

Mika looked up at Professor Ellwood as she commented about not being a centaur. Well that would be obvious. She didn't smell like one now did she? Nope.
She looked up at Galileo and just smiled. Cute name for the bird. What was the first thing to do? She pondered the question for a minute. Concentrate? That was important right.
"I believe its important to calm your nerves - meditation can help...or just simple breathing techniques so that you clear your mind of all this unrelated to the technique you are using" basically don't think stupid things when divining or you'd get that as the question and not what you wanted to find.

Damon raised his hand, "I think it's clearing your mind of everything but what you need to think about."
Raising his hand he had a pretty good idea of what you needed for Divination. His mum was a seer, and had taught him well, and to respect all forms of Divination. "Ye need te haf a clear and open mind." he replied "If ye don't have an open mind it can bar ye from seeing what is really in front of ye, whether it be palmistry, tea leaves or even a crystal ball."

Umm… what to do before practicing divination, what to do… Emmanuelle was racking her brain for this one, when it came to her. "You have to gather your supplies and then clear your mind." Yep, that was it, she was pretty sure. After all, how could whatever told you the future communicate with you if your head was all full of lists and stuff?

Oichi was unsure about divination herself. From all she had read she was under the impression that divination was atleast partiallya subject for just certain people who are gifted for it. She heard the professors question and raised her hand and responded, "Well, I would think that the most important thing you should have before you try divination is an open mind. If you don't atleast have that then you won't have any conviction in to what you are trying predict. However, I have read that certain forms of divination can only be done by thosewith a certain gift. Is that true?".

Minerva thought about everything she had learned the last two terms and put her hand up. "Professor the most important thing is to not have anything going on in your head. Clearing the mind to fully focus."
Pyrsephonie had been doodling pictures of Faeries in her notebook when someone sad down next her and said hi. She looked up and saw Kaiden, the boy from the train. "Oh! Hello!" She said happily, smiling as always. "How've you been doing so far?"

How was he doing? Not so good. No, he was not going to be happy about his status.
Elwood? That was ringing a bell, but he couldn't figure it out. For some reason, he could hear his dad saying that. But what ever, it wasn't this Elwood. But divination, what did you know about the subject? Not a whole lot, just crystal balls, and seeing the future. Thinking about what one should do first, he raised his hand. "Um, You should be well rested, and not do it on a empty stomach. That way, you don't fall asleep looking into the crystal ball, or get distracted by stomach growls."

Now wait, who was the one who filled in her head about the subject being silly? Oh right, her dad. Feeling her face grow warm, she did have similar views.. Well, that was until Ruby told her how much better her OWL results would look and stuff. So, Kimalia rose her hand, "Well, you don't want to go into the subject with expectations, or have a closed view on it. Cause you can miss out of some of the good stuff if you don't keep an open mind." Was she right?
Kennedy bit his lip as he thought of an answer. Honestly, he wasn't good at this subject. At. All. But, he wanted to give it a try. Like his mom always says, 'it doesn't hurt to try'. Plus, this professor seem to be nice and maybe even understanding. She didn't seem like the type that would rip someone's head off for expressing the wrong answer. Using the latter as consolation, Kennedy raised his hand. "Um, besides clearing your mind, isn't it important to have an open mind as well because one can misinterpret a reading?" he said, which came out in question form.
Wasn't it though? Wasn't it important to be open to whatever you saw? Because a closed mind might not see what's there.

Truth be told Hannah did think that the subject was simply alot of guess work. I mean she had to climb allll of the stairs to learn about something that she thought was pretty pointless and she has yet to "see" anything. Still she needed to attend to do what she could for her house.
She thought about what the professor asked and the first thought that came to her mind was that she would have to stop smirking long enough to concentrate. She knew the professor would however not like that response.
Did they need to raise their hand? Better be on the safe side she thought to herself. After Charms class with that evil new professor she wasn't sure what would be expected of her. Hannah raised her hand. "Professor I think we would need to empty our minds and concentrate." Not that she personally thought this would help. "I also think we would need material...like candles and incense perhaps."
She left it alone at that because she was having a hard time trying not to smirk. She didn't see how doing any of these things would help, but whatever!

Well, thank Merlin she wasn't a centaur. Sierra had had just about enough of that creature who'd stolen her father's looks. It'd been creepy and somewhat embarrassing, and yeah...even though this woman taught one of Sierra's least favorite subjects, she was at least welcome in the prefect's eyes.
Sierra thought about the answer to the question then raised her hand. "Professor? I don't mean any disrespect with this answer, and it's my honest opinion, but I think what you really need to do is believe," she said then lowered her hand. "If I'm being honest, I don't really think Divination amounts to much, so I guess before I start practicing it, I really need to believe first." She shrugged. "Maybe it'll just come in time."
Addie thought about the question the professor had asked. Addie had never studied Divination before, her mom didn't think it was a worthy enough subject. So maybe forget about what other people think. "Professor people have said clear your mind. I think that is important but don't you want to be open to the Inner Eye. Open to foresight and things like that in Divination.". Addie was super excited for this class.
