The Room of Serenity Welcome to The Room of Serenity. Professor Morgan has taken Professor Elwood’s Tea Room and transformed it into her own special places. Feeling that the best way to appreciate and really practice the arts of Divination is to clear the mind of all other thoughts and be in a place that opens up your sense Professor Morgan has decorated in her favorite warm purples, light blues, and lavender scents. You will also hear relaxing, but stimulating to the mind instrumental music playing quietly. The room is set up with round tables to work alone or with a small group, but there are no chairs. These tables are low enough to sit comfortably on the fluffy pillows. On the back shelves you will find any divination material you may need from stones, tarot cards, crystal balls, just to name a few items. You can also find posters and models of the hand for Palmistry as well as many astrology posters. In the front there are cupboards with tea cups, saucers, leaves, and kettles. This room is for SNAC meetings and projects, but it is open to all students to come in to study or practice Divination. Just please be respectful and follow all classroom rules. OOC: This room is for students and staff to RP. Please follow all classroom and SS rules. Just because Professor Morgan is not in the room doesn’t mean she won’t hear you. |
Start of the First SNAC meeting!! Cassie had come in super early that morning to do a few extra heating charms. The castle was warm, but her tower felt the extreme coldness that was going on outdoors. She set out to make a few pots of tea excited about the number of students that had signed up for her fabtastic group! Once the tea was done she set a pot on each of the little tables with a few cups. Having the elves make up some chocolate chip cookies a plate of them were sitting at the tables too. Rubbing her temples she stopped for a moment and shook her head. Then looked around once more to make sure her posters she had put up were straight. Stepping over towards one she readjusted it. Now that everything was ready she grabbed a comfy pillow chair and sat at one of the tables pouring herself a cup of tea. Checking her watch she grinned knowing the students would be coming at any moment. OOC: Have your charrie come on in, grab a pillow and sit at one of the tables. I'll be leaving the hotel in a few hours and it takes about 12 hours to get back home. So the meeting will continue in 15-17 hours! If your charrie isn't part of SNAC, but wishes to be please go here first! |
SPOILER!!: Professor Morgan Leah stepped into the room of serenity and smiled. She was wearing her winter cloak, gloves, hat and scarf. That was a lot. But it was nice and warm in here. Taking off her gloves for the time being, she said, "Good afternoon, Professor Morgan!" She beamed. "Nice to meet you, professor. I'm Leah Abbott." She was happy to be here. Divination was always fun. Grabbing a comfortable pillow and settling down at one of the tables near the professor, the second year placed her quill and parchment on the table and helped herself to some tea. Mmmmm. |
Zander walked in, not really sure of what to expect. He had never been to one of these meetings before. But SNAC sounded a whole lot like snack, so hopefully there would be some of those. Just as he walked in he spotted the Professor standing around. "Hi, Professor," he grinned. "I've uh, I've never been to one of these things before..." he admitted shyly. Of course she probably knew that because he had only recently signed up. "Oh oops, I'm Zander," he nearly forgot that part. Whoops. Then he spotted a girl with a pillow and decided to follow her lead. Where'd she get them from anyways? Oooh, there! Zander walked over and grabbed one of the fluffiest ones he could find, then brought it over the table and plopped down near her. Hopefully more people would show up soon because it was always weird being one of the first. |
Adi wasn't quite sure why he had signed up for this thing. Divination just was not his thing and people who knew him knew that he disliked anything to do with the subject. He stepped into the room not knowing what to expect. He hadn't met the new Professor as yet but one look at her smiling face and Adi knew he liked her. She looked so friendly. "Hello, Professor. It's great to meet you. I'm Aditya Rehman.'' He smiled at her before taking a pillow and heading for one of the tables. Adi waved to Leah and the other guy (Zander). |
Hii, Professor Morgan & Adi Text Cut: Adi Look at Adi. Already making friendly with the new Professor. It hadn't really occurred to Cutty before, but aside from ingratiating himself to the likely prefects from his own house, he probably should do the same for the other three houses as well. It would help in cases where one or many might witness the things they best not ought. "We call him Adi, though." He added in case, like others before her, Professor Morgan would have a difficult time remembering Adi's impossible to make fun of name. He found a space at one of the tables and, almost as an afterthought, introduced himself. "I'm Cutty Mordaunt." |
The whole Hogwarts experience was overwhelming for the little first year, to be honest. Half the time he had absolutely no idea about what he was doing or where he was going. Getting lost in the enormous castle was quickly becoming his thing. And friends weren't aplenty, either. Sniff. Refusing to feel sorry for himself, Damian entered SNAC's meeting room huffing and puffing. The boy had spent the last twenty something minutes trying to locate the room of serenity. SO MUCH PURPLE. And PEOPLE. Pushing his blond bangs out of his face, Damian joined the older students timidly at the table, his cheeks ruddy and warm. "Oh..." He said, staring at the students; he had forgotten to grab a pillow on his way over. He crawled, on all fours, over to the squishy purple pillows, quickly got hold of one without drawing more attention, and hurried back to the table. "Umm...hello Professor Morgan." It only dawned on him now to greet the professor. Ugh. Hope she didn't find him impolite. "You look pretty today . . ." He said, squirming in his seat, "I mean *cough* you're always pretty." Damian added quickly, wringing his hands together, and blushing perpetually. Ooooohhkay. That was . . . something. He shifted his attention to the girl and three guys. "Hello, nice to meet you all. I'm Damian." He smiled awkwardly, and proceeded to stare at the platter of cookies. Oooo, could he eat them? |
Mentions Leah, Adi, Zander, Cutty and Damian The first time Cris had heard of the SNAC club, he first thought it had to do with tea parties and eating snacks. That was until someone explained it had more to do with doing divination stuff than eating. So he was pleasantly surprised when he walked into the Serenity Room, he saw a plate of chocolate cookies. Well that was the first thing he saw. The second was the Professor, third the posters on the wall. Ignoring that plate of cookies, he walked up to the Divination Professor and greeted her with a smile. "Good morning Professor. I'm Cristoffer Strand and it's nice to meet you." Then Cris turned around and smiled when he saw some familiar faces. Walking over to them, he grabbed one of the cushions and sat down. "Hey Adi, Leah , Zander, Cutty and um...is it Damian?. How's everyone doing?" Cris smiled at his fellow students. He looked around for Jasmine, wondering whether she had joined the club too. |
This room. Er. Oh MAN. It was all frilly and doily and whatnot. Okay, it WASN'T but he wouldn't be surprised if there were some frills and doilies here. Maybe it was because of the colours of the room and the soft music that was playing and...................... was that lavender he could smell? It didn't smell bad. Not at all. But added onto the colours of the room, he just wasn't sure. And the teapots made him think that this was going to be some sort of tea party where they were going to talk about their feelings or whatever. Stepping away from the door, Grayson moved further into the room and decided to concentrate on who exactly was here. The sight of Cutty was enough to make him happy. Cutty was GOOD company, uh huh. And then there was Zander and Cris, two Hufflepuffs he didn't know and a Slytherin that was playing favourites with the Professor. If he succeeded, this fourth year was going to be IMPRESSED. Maybe even ask him about this. MAYBE. Anyways. There was a Professor here soooooo Grayson spoke to her first. "Hello, Professor. The name's Grayson Whitlock." And that went for the others too. The unknowns. Make note of his name, mkay? "'Sup, you guys." To everyone. EVERYONE. Maybe he was feeling nice. .............................. NAH. And were those cookies? Were they tainted? Could they help himself? He was going to help himself only AFTER someone else tried some. |
The room was wonderful, amazing and welcoming .. The professor had used her favorite colors: purple and light blue! Good Morning Professor, I'm Lucy Petersfield! It's my first year here at Hogwarts! Then Lucy grabbed a pillow chair and sat at one of the tables.. She felt comfortable in the room and smiled at her classmates, who were already there. |
Hiii Grayson The only good thing about clubs was the promise of food they had to offer, like that one time with the book club and just about every Muggle Studies class before Hadley took over. Was it fair to say the Gryffindor had only showed up because they were likely to be fed? Yes, considering she didn't believe in Divination all that much. Her father said she wasn't meant to take it too seriously and she was all too willing to agree especially with half the reading's she'd gotten. Elwood had tea and small pasteries, no telling what Morgan would have...or if they were to be trusted for that matter. Jun and her and hypothesized that it was something in whatever the lady was eating. What if she slipped it into anything she fed them today? Her Third Year was enough happy thank you very much. Perhaps she'd watch everyone else eat before trusting any--whaaaaat? Stepping inside it was abundantly clear that the tables weren't filled with treats. Was it too late to walk back out? Probably with the way the Professor was smiling like that...then again wasn't she always? "Good day Professor." Lex said, trying to keep the disappointment from her voice as she flopped down at the table next to Grayson. He didn't strike her as the type to like such a sketchy subject but here he was. I think my heart just broke." That roughly translated to 'hi'. |
SPOILER!!: Cris Ohmygosh! An older student had just acknowledged him. What a day! It was a welcome break from being invisible. Damian didn't resent anyone, though. Most of the time he was too scared to strike up a conversation, hence the decision to join SNAC. As for divination, he had no impressions of it as of yet. "Yes! I'm Damian, my name's Damian." He beamed at the older boy, who was sooooo tall. A day will come when Damian'd tower over the firsties, and squash them under the heel of his shoes. Okay, maybe not the squashing bit. How would he like if Cris here, who was clearly searching for someone, did the same to him? "Are you looking for . . . " He said, scooting nearer to Cris, and then added in a whisper, ". . . your girlfriend?" Cue: huge grin. See? He was SMART. And NOSY. SPOILER!!: Grayson What a time to be alive! A fellow Slytherin was being nice to him. Damian did the only two things he knew best — blush and smile. He then wrung his hands some more and chewed on his bottom lips before noticing Grayson eyeing the cookies. "They don't bite, do they?" He whispered, the Professor was sitting right there. She wouldn't bake cookies that could bite their fingers off, would she? |
This was the first club meeting that Lux had been to, so she was super excited. The fact that she hadn't met The Professor holding it made her even more excited; it was always nice to meet new people! Entering the room, she waved at all the students that had already arrived. "Hello, everyone!" It was awesome to see some of her friends were here. "And nice to meet you, Professor Morgan. I'm Lux Carrington." Finding a table to sit at, she plopped down on the pillow provided and gasped at the sight of cookies and tea. Now this was what she called a club. Free food and drink made everything better. Taking one of the cookies, she happily started to eat while waiting for other people to arrive. Where was boyfriend? Wasn't he in this club too? |
Jasmine arrived at the Room of Serenity for the first SNAC meeting. Taking a moment to take in the scene, she looked around the very interesting room. It had a relaxing feel to it and soft music playing in the background. Jasmine walked over to the Professor and introduced herself. "Hello Professor. My name is Jasmine Guidry. It's nice to meet you." Seeing some of her friends, Jasmine waved to Lux and Adi. Then she walked over and took a seat on a cushion by Cris. "Hello there", she said. "Fancy meeting you here." |
Angel walked into the classroom and grabbed a pillow and smiled at the Professor. "Good Day Professor." Angel beamed, she was sure she hadn't seen this Professor before, she hoped her sister came soon because she was sure they could trick this Professor loads even though Angel wasn't really into that sort of thing. Angel sat down at one of the tables and smiled at Leah and Adi and Lux she wondered if they would all be doing something good today, she seriously couldn't wait to find out but she would have to wait a little longer until the Professor was ready. |
Damian and Jasmin Cris chuckled when the young Slytherin got excited when he said hi to him. Someone was actually excited to meet him. Cris was pleasantly surprised and happy at the same time. But that didn't stop him from blushing when the young boy asked whether he was looking for his girlfriend."Yes actually I am, but let's keep that a secret between the two of us," Cris winked conspiratorially at Damian. "And speaking of her, here she is," Cris whispered to his new friend even as he waved and smiled at Jasmine as she came over and joined them. Politely standing, he waited for Jasmine to sit down, before he sat back down again. "Fancy meeting you here. I was actually wondering whether you had signed up for this club. Believe me, I initially thought this was a tea party type of club. You know with the name and all," Cris leaned over to whisper. |
Divination was one of Nessa's favorite subjects - after nearly anything performing arts related and History of Magic of course - and, as such, she just had to attend the first SNAC meeting after she heard all about it. The fact that her best friend was the professor and in charge of the meeting made that even more necessary for her. She wasn't about to miss this! And Cassie said it was completely fine, it wasn't just for students. Walking into the room, she instantly lit up to see everyone there.. and how lovely Cassie had decorated. "Cass-- I mean, Professor Morgan, hello!" She grinned and gave her a little wink. Best to keep up professional decorum in front of students. "Hello, everyone!" she sang at the students before looking for a seat. She chose a table right in the middle of the crowd and sat down on the pillow. How comfy! Oooh, and snacks! How thoughtful and hospitable. Nessa began pouring herself a cup of tea while she waited for the meeting to start. |
Cris & Damian Jasmine noticed that Cris was talking to a younger boy. She turned toward the boy and said, "Hi, I'm Jasmine. Cris seemed to know everyone. Maybe one day she would learn his secret for friend making. Turning her attention back to Cris, Jasmine said softly, "Yes, I signed up for SNAC". It was kind of a last minute decision. I didn't exactly know what to expect.......still don't. Jasmine was curious to see what this club was all about. Hopefully it would be fun and she'd learn a thing or two. |
Jasmine SPOILER!!: Jasmine Cris smiled at her, "Well I for one am glad you decided to join the club." Cris told Jasmine before shrugging his shoulders. "Well join the club...hey you are in the club," he paused to grin at her when he realized he had actually made a pun. Then he continued with what he was about to say, "...Because I'm not sure either. But I'm guessing since it's the Divination Professor who's organizing it, it'll have something to do with that subject...which I have to admit, is one subject I'm beginning to like a lot. It's really unbelievable how one can use various things to predict one's present and future." |
SPOILER!!: Damian Zander noticed more students coming in AND THANK MERLIN. It was kind of uncomfortable with just the two who were there earlier. The third year turned as he noticed another boy coming up to join them at the table. He smiled back at the friendly guy and nodded as he introduced himself. "Hi Damian, I'm... I'm Zander," he said with a warm smile. "It's really nice to meet you, And he meant it! Hopefully the meeting would start soon though. Zander didn't want to have to sit on these pillows all day. It was kind of uncomfortable... SPOILER!!: Cris The Gryffindor's smile grew even bigger when he saw Cris approaching them. YAY! Maybe the SNAC club was a good idea after all. Since divination isn't his thing and all, Zander was actually a little weary of signing up. Buuuut, his mother had said that he needed to get more involved, so here he was. All ready to SNAC and stuff... Anyways... "Hey, Cris," he said giving the hufflepuff a smile. "I'm alright, just a little tired. How are you?" |
mention of Damian, Cris, Angel Leah watched as more students came in. The Zander guy seemed nice but it was awkward with just the two of them plus the professor. She waved back at Adi as he entered. A new? Slytherin boy actually introduced himself to the whole group. "Hi Damian, I'm Leah." she patted a pillow next to her. "You can sit here if you want." Since he was standing around and all that. Smile back at Cris. "Hey Cris." Leah thought that he would not like divination much and stick to solid facts. Apparently he was not that type of a person. "Yo, Angel." she waved at her best friend. Were more people coming? She could not wait for this meeting to start. |
Text Cut: Cris The windblock was talking. And to him. It wasn't everyday an upper classmen acknowledged a third year like Cutty Mordaunt, but the boy did nothing but hold a stoney expression. More people filed in and included amongst them was a beautiful Ravenclaw girl whom Cris seemed to have an in with. Text Cut: Grayson "Hey, Whitty. Why don't you come over by me." So we can see who can hold in their laughter the longest. Text Cut: Damian Cutty's head slowly rose to survey the space around him. It was as if he'd smelled something before he'd seen it and was only employing the sense of sight to validate. It was a firstie. A firstie in his house called Damian. He watched as the clutchling smiled and turned pink about the face. I'm sure they don't...But, they're probably poison. If anyone needed confirmation that Cutty's impulse-control potion was working, it was the fact that he didn't say that just now to a poor, innocent first year. Well done, Healer Farhat! "They don't bite, but it's customary to wait until they're offered to oos." He explained with a casual sort of smile at the first year. The kiddo had charisma and Cutty thought he'd make for good collecting. He could introduce him to the Head Girl. Text Cut: Professor Glendower SPOILER!!: Why, Cutty Mordaunt Whyyyyy?!! Thank goodness Cutty was taking his impulse control potion or he would've said all of that and possibly helped Professor Glendower out of the room of Serenity. Tap-dancin' fool! |
As soon as AJ walked into the room, she noticed that it was actually kind of warm. She was SUPER grateful for that. Locking eyes with the professor she smiled. "Hello professor." Ohh... cookies and pillows? Now this was her kind of meeting. AJ grabbed a pillow and cookie and took a seat close to her sister. "Hey Angel." Looking around there were a few familiar faces and of course she would have to greet them. "Hey Lex, and Adi." She gave them both a quick wave. Now... what were they going to be doing? |
Picking up her cup of tea she glanced down at her hands and let go of the cup. She ran her fingers over her left hand, her skin was so dry. Her normal hand potions weren’t cutting it with this frigid winter. Shaking her head she picked up her tea cup and felt a small crack in her skin. She would certainly have to see Cece for some stronger skin care soon. Her thoughts broken as the door opened. Oh goodie the first student. Leaving her tea abandoned Cassie waved before getting up off her pillow. SPOILER!!: All your wonderful hello's! Alright was that everyone? Well if anyone came in late it was fine, but she needed to get started. She’d just leave the door open in a welcoming way just in case. “Good morning everyone! I am just so happy to have you here today!” It was fantastic now wasn’t it? “Since we haven’t had a class yet, some of you have no clue who I am. My name is Professor Cassiopeia Morgan. I’m not the formal type of person so Professor Cassie is fine or Professor Morgan if you’d like. I’m just thrilled to be either!” Did it show how excited she was, because she was super excited. “I’m very excited to have Professor Glendower helping with the meetings.” She pointed to her best friend so that all the students see her if they didn’t see her come in. Stopping a moment she rubbed her temples. “There goes the squirrels” She sighed and turned her smile back on. “Now I called this meeting urgent, because I am in much need of your help. You are going to be helping me investigate something. She turned and walked over towards the posters. "As all of you are well aware it is super cold outside and the snow has been pretty heavy. What most of you don't know is that as a seer, my gift is not really ordinary. I found as a young child it was very different than the rest of the seers in my family. My gift is sensing and seeing animals. There actions and feelings. Since the cold has started their feelings have been very anxious in many ways, and as some of you know they have started acting a bit oddly." Unicorns in Hogsmeade was proof enough. Her heels clicking on the floor as she walked, she stopped, turning and grinning, “Can anyone tell me what this is and why would we be using it for our meeting today?” This was the sole purpose of this very urgent meeting. “Oh and the tea and cookies are for everyone, so please feel free to eat while we work.” Okay, sorry this took so long. I was in the car for a lot longer than planned. I will be posting at least two times a day to keep this moving. If you miss a question or fall behind, just move on to the very next question that was asked. Don't worry about trying to catch up. Don't worry about posting late if your charrie is running late, Cassie isn't going to mind them coming in. Have fun and I will be getting in my next post at hopefully in about eight hours from this post. |
Munching on her cookie, AJ couldn't help but to notice that the professor seemed not only super nice, but that she may be one to get confused. Deciding to have a bit of fun, she gave her sister a knowing glance. "No, I'm Angel... she's AJ," she said pointing to her sister. Hopefully the professor would just think that she overlooked who sat where. As she listened to the reason why the meeting was called, AJ was not able to hide a snort. Wait a minute? Was she trying to say that she was one of those fortune teller people? "Can you read my palm?" They did that sort of thing, and she wanted to know what was in her future. She could sense animals? "Could you sense where I could buy a unicorn?" Obviously just riding one like a pony at Hogsmeade was frowned upon. |
