He nodded. "I can't remember mine right now, either,'' he said as he looked at parchment Kurumi had handed him. He had recalled it briefly when he awoke this morning though.

"Ready?'' the Puff asked when Kurumi had lie down. "Do you remember what you were doing with any of these things?'' he asked as he flipped to the D section of the text. He would start with the door.

"Right,'' Jory began when he found the paragraph on the door's interpretation. "The door represents enemies who you are trying to escape from.'' He looked at the prefect and wondered why anyone would want her as an enemy. Looking back at the text, he asked "Did the door fall of of its hinges when you locked it?''

"If it didn't fall off, it means you will know of a friend's troubles but won't be able to help them,'' Jory said to the girl. "But this one only means that if you made another attempt to close it.'' He didn't like the door's meaning one bit but maybe she only dreamt of it once?

He consulted Kurumi's parchment once again. Strawberry. "Strawberries represent favorable advancement and pleasure,'' the badger read aloud. ''So, you will finally have an object you wanted for while.'' He grinned. "Hope it arrives soon.''

Lollipop was the next symbol on the list. "Uh... lollipop isn't listed in the dictionary,'' he said. So he supposed he would move on to the next symbol.

"Um...no..." she replied, chewing on her lip nervously. "I was...holding a key...and I locked the door...it wasn't off its hinges at all..." Her cheeks rose in color quite a bit, but thankfully the darkness of the classroom hid this from him. Hopefully. "I...didn't walk through it or anything...the first thing I can really recall is just...locking it..."

Cue some more awkward wiggling on the floor by the Gryffindor.

As to what she was doing with the items...that was an entirely different story. She just remembered a room...with a table and two chairs...maybe there had been a bowl of strawberries on the table...

But before she could respond to Jory with more details he had moved on to interpreting more of the images from her dream. "There was a bowl of strawberries...I think..." Kurumi also just really liked strawberries, so it really was no wonder that she was dreaming about them. They were one of her favorite things. "I may have eaten one...or several...but I really don't remember..." It obviously wasn't the most exciting of dreams. As to something she has been wanting for a while... "There is something that I am waiting for...but I haven't been waiting very long. I have to wait until the beginning of February for it to come really." University results.

No lollipops? "What about candy? Or sweets?" Because sometimes you had to go the more abstract route with this already abstract subject. "There was a giant one...sitting across from me at the table...where the strawberries were..."

Had the lollipop eaten a strawberry? Not that having a giant lollipop sitting with you at a table wasn't weird enough on its own.

"Or...wait...there were strawberries and....strawberry lollipops...I was eating one of those..."

She flipped open her book to the word war and she read aloud to her "To dream of war, foretells unfortunate conditions in business, and much disorder and strife in domestic affairs. For a young woman to dream that her lover goes to war, denotes that she will hear of something detrimental to her lover's character. To dream that your country is defeated in war, is a sign that it will suffer revolution of a business and political nature. Personal interest will sustain a blow either way. If of victory you dream, there will be brisk activity along business lines, and domesticity will be harmonious."she sighed and looked at her. I assume the last sentence would suffice since you did win the war with the tea leaves, No?" she looked at her for conformation and she should probally write all this down if the ravenclaw knew what was best

"Either way with respect to the locking of the door, it means that a friend is in trouble.'' He now paid some more attention to the strawberries. "It says here, if you eat the strawberry it denotes requited love.''
She had a boyfriend, right? He was thankful the classroom wasn't that lighted because he wasn't very comfortable discussing anything lovey dovey. Except maybe with Ari.

The badger took the suggestion and flipped through the book to look for candy. "Eating candy represents social pleasures,'' he read. "So, you'll have a rather enjoyable time the next time you're out with family or friends.''

"Um....yes?" Kurumi sort of asked rather than stated. She really wasn't about to voice these thoughts out loud...not with what she had read about locking a door meaning at least. The M word...was something she just refused to think about. She was only 17 for crying out loud! "I hope so too..." Because she was sort of putting all her dragon eggs in one basket with this early action. February...beginning of February...

Kurumi simply bit her lip at the friend in trouble comment. That was one way to interpret that part of her dream...just depended on where the emphasis was placed - the key or the door. As for a friend in trouble...Selina's mind was in trouble, more so than usual. "Requited love..." Kurumi trailed off, cheeks flushing even more now. She already knew that though. Had known for a while now...or was this meaning that she was thinking about it even in her subconscious? Not that that was really surprising either. "So...I am thinking about Lewis..." And locking that door....

*GULP*

Kurumi sort of just nodded at the next bit. Vague. Obvious. Nothing really concrete and she had to literally bite her tongue from saying something along the lines of she always had fun when she was out with friends...but refrained from doing so. "So...so far we have...I am waiting for something to come...I love Lewis and he loves me...and I will have fun the next time I go out with people..."

Can we say...duh? Ruddy subject.

Listenlistenlisten. She took the quill from behind her ear and waited..."I think the last one works the best." Uh huh. She scribbled down"



She looked up at the brunette...and opened her book...hmm. She grumbled to herself and muttered, "THey only have tea...no tea leaves.." well it wasn't jUUUUST tea, stupid book! It was tea LEAVES! Hmph. And none of the occurences in the book went with her dream..."The one that goes the best with my dream is: TO dream you are thirsty for tea--yeah, I guess I WAS thirsty...hmph--denotes that you will surprised with uninvited guests." She raised an eyebrow. What? NO! She didn't want an uninvited guest...URGH.

She wrote down that part...stupid. THis class had to be...BOLOGNA!!

"Hey Laura, You want to be partners?"

Oh yeah, Lewis was the name of her boyfriend. "Do you suppose Lewis is in some kind of trouble?'' the boy as hesitantly. He didn't want to upset the Lion...

As Kurumi began to interpret her own dreams, Jory exclaimed jokingly "Hey, that's my job.'' No matter though, he was going to say almost the same thing.

So, moving on. Cats. "Cats represent ill luck,'' he read and his voice went quieter at each word. More depressing stuff. "But that's if it isn't killed or driven away.'' So there was hope. "Did you banish it or anything?''

The final symbol. Obviously there would be no dragon stuffed animal. So Jory began to look for stuffed animals or toys. "Toys represents family joys.''

"So, You're waiting for something,'' he began. "You and Lewis love each other. You'll have an enjoyable time with family or friends.'' He hesitated at the cat part. "If you didn't banish or killed that cat you will have bad luck... but on the bright side you'll experience family joys.'' He really hope the cat didn't mean bad luck for the prefect.

She stood still for a moment, just twiddling her thumbs. It got quite boring sometimes, just standing and waiting. Of course, she would know that. After a little bit of no calls, someone, FINALLY, asked for a partner, which Cardigan immediately went over and answered to. "I'll be your partner," She said, knodding slightly. "I'm Cardigan Johansson. And you are?

Then she listened to the directions from the professor, interrupting their dreams, this sounded fun. She wondered what her dream would come up to meaning. Hmm she wondered, but then she got back from her thoughts and looked around the room. Oh, yes a partner.. guess she needed to find someone to work with her. Looking around, "Anyone need a partner yet?" she asked hoping someone might.

next words reasoning as she looked up the final word "Forest. forest forestt" she said scanning the pages "ah there it is.." she began reading it aloud to her "To dream that you find yourself in a dense forest, denotes loss in trade, unhappy home influences and quarrels among families. If you are cold and feel hungry, you will be forced to make a long journey to settle some unpleasant affair. To see a forest of stately trees in foliage, denotes prosperity and pleasures. To literary people, this dream foretells fame and much appreciation from the public. A young lady relates the following dream and its fulfilment: ``I was in a strange forest of what appeared to be cocoanut trees, with red and yellow berries growing on them. The ground was covered with blasted leaves, and I could hear them crackle under my feet as I wandered about lost. The next afternoon I received a telegram announcing the death of a dear cousin.''" she looked at elliot a bit confused "which way do you think works best to your dream?" it was her dream after all

"I guess i will talk about the dream i just had before i was awoken with water."

Nigel could not remember the dream he had last night. So this is the best he could do. He closed his eyes and retold his dream.

"It was a Badger and a Eagle killing a Sea Monster"

Laura blushed for no apparent reason. "So basically you have been having some bad luck maybe with work or with a girl and that is about to change." Laura had no idea what that meant but well Nigel might know.

Hmm. Maybe its had to do with me breaking my arm in charms."

Nigel thought out loud. He then motioned Laura to continue.

"Um...not that I know of..." she said, blinking in confusion for a moment. Unless he wasn't telling her something. Or maybe he was in trouble in the sense that he wasn't sure what to do after Hogwarts. It had mostly been her talking about university, which was rather selfish of her now that she got to thinking about it.

Kurumi laughed softly. "Right, shutting up." Although she very well might go back and read up on these symbols herself after the lesson. NOT that she was interested in the subject at all. It would be more to appease her curiosity.

"Nope...it was actually my cat, well...kneazle...and he was sitting on my lap purring." Of course. Animals were always some sort of bad news in dreams. Whatever. She knew her pet wasn't a bad omen.

Pondering all this for a moment, Kurumi tuned back in just as Jory was going over the entire meaning of her dream - or whatever bits of it she had recalled. Sitting up now, Kurumi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Banish of kill a cat? Right...like I am the sort of person to dream about something that cruel," she scoffed slightly. And THAT was supposed to represent good luck? Killing a creature. Yep, Divination was rubbish. "I may have shooed my cat away because he was pawing at one of my strawberries." Did that mean that Walnut was trying to get between her and her requited love? Heh, sounded like something crazy enough for this subject to think up.

Vague vague and more vague.

"Um...thanks Jory," Kurumi said with a small bow of the head. He was done with her reading, right? "Do you remember anything about your dream?" Aka, it was his turn to lie down on the ground.

FOG= To dream of traveling through a dense fog, denotes much trouble and business worries. To emerge from it, foretells a weary journey, but profitable. For a young woman to dream of being in a fog, denotes that she will be mixed up in a salacious scandal, but if she gets out of the fog she will prove her innocence and regain her social standing.

RUNNING= To dream of running in company with others, is a sign that you will participate in some festivity, and you will find that your affairs are growing towards fortune. If you stumble or fall, you will lose property and reputation. Running alone, indicates that you will outstrip your friends in the race for wealth, and you will occupy a higher place in social life. If you run from danger, you will be threatened with losses, and you will despair of adjusting matters agreeably. To see others thus running, you will be oppressed by the threatened downfall of friends. To see stock running, warns you to be careful in making new trades or undertaking new tasks.

HAIR= If a woman dreams that she has beautiful hair and combs it, she will be careless in her personal affairs, and will lose advancement by neglecting mental application. For a man to dream that he is thinning his hair, foreshadows that he will become poor by his generosity, and suffer illness through mental worry. To see your hair turning gray, foretells death and contagion in the family of some relative or some friend. To see yourself covered with hair, omens indulgence in vices to such an extent as will debar you from the society of refined people. If a woman, she will resolve herself into a world of her own, claiming the right to act for her own pleasure regardless of moral codes If a man dreams that he has black, curling hair, he will deceive people through his pleasing address. He will very likely deceive the women who trust him. If a woman's hair seems black and curly, she will be threatened with seduction. If you dream of seeing a woman with golden hair, you will prove a fearless lover and be woman's true friend. To dream that your sweetheart has red hair, you will be denounced by the woman you love for unfaithfulness. Red hair usually suggests changes If you see brown hair, you will be unfortunate in choosing a career. If you see well kept and neatly combed hair, your fortune will improve. To dream you cut your hair close to the scalp, denotes that you will be generous to lavishness towards a friend. Frugality will be the fruits growing out therefrom. To see the hair growing out soft and luxuriant, signifies happiness and luxury. For a woman to compare a white hair with a black one, which she takes from her head, foretells that she will be likely to hesitate between two offers of seeming fortune, and unless she uses great care, will choose the one that will afford her loss or distress instead of pleasant fortune. To see tangled and unkempt hair, life will be a veritable burden, business will fall off, and the marriage yoke will be troublesome to carry. If a woman is unsuccessful in combing her hair, she will lose a worthy man's name by needless show of temper and disdain. For a young woman to dream of women with gray hair, denotes that they will come into her life as rivals in the affection of a male relative, or displace the love of her affianced. To dream of having your hair cut, denotes serious disappointments. For a woman to dream that her hair is falling out, and baldness is apparent, she will have to earn her own livelihood, as fortune has passed her by. For man or woman to dream that they have hair of snowy whiteness, denotes that they will enjoy a pleasing and fortunate journey through life. For a man to caress the hair of a woman, shows he will enjoy the love and confidence of some worthy woman who will trust him despite the world's condemnation. To see flowers in your hair, foretells troubles approaching which, when they come, will give you less fear than when viewed from a distance. For a woman to dream that her hair turns to white flowers, augurs that troubles of a various nature will confront her, and she does well if she strengthens her soul with patience, and endeavors to bear her trials with fortitude. To dream that a lock of your hair turns gray and falls out, is a sign of trouble and disappointment in your affairs. Sickness will cast gloom over bright expectations. To see one's hair turn perfectly white in one night, and the face seemingly young, foretells sudden calamity and deep grief. For a young woman to have this dream, signifies that she will lose her lover by a sudden sickness or accident. She will likely come to grief from some indiscretion on her part. She should be careful of her associates

MAN= To dream of a man, if handsome, well formed and supple, denotes that you will enjoy life vastly and come into rich possessions. If he is misshapen and sour-visaged, you will meet disappointments and many perplexities will involve you. For a woman to dream of a handsome man, she is likely to have distinction offered her. If he is ugly, she will experience trouble through some one whom she considers a friend.
