School had just begun and you already have found yourself coming to your first Divination class. Professor Cassie wants you comfortable so she hopes you read the notice and have worn your most comfy pajamas, she certainly has.
As you come up the Divination ladder the first thing you might notice is the change in decoration. This term the classroom is decorated in dark reds instead of reds and pinks. It's not as bright and has a more relaxing tone. The tables have been lowered and the chairs are now missing. In their place there are comfy pillows to sit on. On each table there are two freshly cleaned crystal balls ready to be used.
You'll notice the smell of lavender filling the room as well as quiet and calming music playing lightly in the background. There is plenty of tea for anyone who would like some and parchment at each table. Professor Cassie is sitting in a chair calm and relaxed sipping her peppermint tea and smiling to greet you.
On the board like in the past there is a note:
Quote:
Welcome please find a seat and take some tea. Please stay quiet for the beginning of class and just relax. Before we start please write something you are proud of and place it in the snap cup at the front of the room. Please do not touch the crystal balls until I tell you.
Doesn't the entire room just make you want to curl up and take a nap?
OOC: I've opened class a bit early, but will not officially start until tomorrow. I'm hoping to start it before I go to work, but if not it will be afternoon EST. Please make sure you familiarize yourself with SS and classroom rules.

Clara returned the Professor's smile and observed her carefully while she waited. She seemed nice enough - she was smiling and relaxed - so that was a pretty good sign ... that made her less worried about speaking in class, though she would still be ignoring all the people.
... Well, most of them. Not the one that was calling her name and making her way to sit beside her.
SPOILER!!: Eden bby
She did see some nice faces. "HI CLARA!" she beamed at who she deemed her closest friend so far at Hogwarts--since they shared a dorm together and all. She took a seat next to her and Layla, and smiiiiiiled all wide at the other girl. "Hi Layla--" she said and nudged her. They had kind of bonded the other day when Eden was LOCKED OUT of the common room. Well. Eden was just horrible at riddles--shameful Ravenclaw! She was still convinced she was a lion at heart and would behave as such. Maybe. Once she got over the fear of getting in trouble.
HEY BB! Eden spotted Bianca and waved frantically at her. "BBBBBB!" she said, beaming all wide at the girl. Bianca was the life of the PARTAY most times, and Eden could hang with someone like that--more fun that way! "I didn't wear pajamas....I'm a failure.." she whispered...to her friends. Not caring who would answer or respond---JUST SOMEONE MAKE HER FEEL BETTER. Her cheeks were still very red, and she kind of slunk down in her seat. Only it was a pillow. So slinking was hard. "Clara--hide me--" she said quickly, putting her hands over her face.
The redhead relaxed slightly at Eden's appearance. At least now she had familiar company and someone that she could look to if she felt .... overwhelmed. "DENNY!" She greeted, patting the seat next to hers and gave the girl her most dazzling grin, before realising something ..... "Where are your pajamas?" Had she not read the notice board? Her dormmate was wearing robes, a massive contrast to everyone else in the room.
It shouldn't matter too much, though ... she hoped .... "Hey," she frowned. "You're not a failure at all." She shuffled her seat a little closer to Eden for emotional support or something and nudged her gently. Then her head snapped up at the Professor's voice sounding from the front of the class. Time to begin.
SPOILER!!: Professoooor
Finishing off her third cup of tea, yes her third Cassiopeia vanished the mug since she was fully finished and flicked her wrist turning the music way down to a whisper. Green eyes scanned across the room and she wondered if Nessa would be joining them. She wouldn’t mind if a certain other person would have decided to join, but right that wasn’t something to think about now, so Cassie turned to the board and cleared it. “OHMYGOSH, can I first say how wonderful it is to see all these adrob Pj’s. You all look fabulous. Plus with the start of term why not have a comfy way to get back in the swing of things.” EEEP! She was snapping now so much for calm and collected.
“First things first, for those who don’t know me, my name is Professor Cassie and you are in Divinations right now.” Just to make sure no one wondered in by mistake. “Welcome to anyone who hasn’t ever been here and welcome back to those who have. Now the way we get our lessons started is we like to become super positive and what better way to be positive then going into the snap cup.” Picking up the pink cup she stuck her hand in finding the first parchment. “I will read everyone’s without names, so once I’m done with a proud moment everyone snaps for the person.” Were they ready? Pulling out the first one she looked at it, this was interesting.. hmmm, Then she read it very clear and grammatically correct without missing a beat, “I'm proud that I stood up 4 expresing myself thru fashion even tho sum peepl r stuck in the midle ages & think its ok 2 limit peepls individualty. Snaps for expressing yourself.” Yes this was good and she snapped happily. Pulling out the next one, “I'm proud of not being a girl and not make drama. And to be in Slytherin too. Snaps for being a boy and a Slytherin.” She snapped and giggled at this one. She just loved everyone’s proud moments. Going through the rest of them and snapping of course to each, she finally came to the final one in the cup, “"I am proud of my wonderful little sister Emilie. Snaps for Emilie.” Wasn’t that just wonderful.
“Now that the excitement is over we are going to be doing something today that requires everyone to be the most comfortable and relaxed they possibly can be. The mind is better at certain Divinations when it is fully clear of anything else. So as we dicsuss today’s topic please sip your tea, let the smell of the lavender and the sound of the music just relax you.” Moving towards her own chair she decided to sit and work on the relaxing part too. Rolling her shoulders a bit she smiled, “So seeing the crystal balls on the table should be a clue as to what we will be discussing, but what form of divination uses a crystal ball?” [/color]
OOC: You all are just amazing let me first say that! With the snap cup she has read everyone's with time and space I use a number generator to pick ones at random, but thank you so much for all your proud moments. They are just adorable!
........... Well, that was certainly interesting. OHMYGOSH? Adorbs PJs? Clara hadn't expected her to speak that way at all, even if she did look super chilled. She could ... adjust to it, though. At least she was nice.
She wasted no time pulling out several pieces of parchment, a pencil, a quill and ink. All ready, she thought and listened carefully to what the Professor was saying. The concept of 'snap cups' seemed strange to her, but she ... appreciated the positivity in a sense and even jotted down a few people's positive notes if they caught her attention. 'I'm proud of knowing two ancient languages.' That one stood out to her as Gabe's, without a shadow of a doubt, but she didn't see the point of writing it down. She simply tossed a look his way and went back to focussing solely on what the Professor was saying.
.. Huh ... this was ..... she didn't know what to make of it. For one thing, Clara didn't do relaxing when she was surrounded by people, and she didn't like tea. So this plan wasn't going to work .... She could, however, answer the question about what form of divination uses crystal balls. While she might not be particularly interested in the subject, she had gone and read up on a fair few things. Including this. Ignoring the other students presence and looking straight at Professor Morgan, Clara raised her hand confidently in the air. "It's crystallomancy, Professor.'' ... Obviously.
It was time to wake up and pay attention. Sitting up on her pillow, Beverly adjusted her dragon-print pajama top and willed her brain to stay awake. This was simply a relaxing atmosphere, not one to nap in. Besides, there was information to gather, even if Divination wasn't one of her faves.
Sipping some tea and rolling her shoulders like Professor Morgan, the Slytherin worked at relaxing, although her body was already relaxed. Crystal balls. They'd be using that, huh?
The answer was at the tip of her tongue, her hand rising into the air...and someone said it before her. Well. She had to sharpen her hand raising skills, didn't she? Or was her body too relaxed? That was a thing. It COULD happen.
Bianca wiggled her fingers in greeting from her spot on the pillow at the Gryffindor dressed in green. Yes, Bianca recognized you from the common room. And then there was ED who got a bright cheery grin and a little clawing motion. Because Gryffindors were lions and lions had claws. Pigeons had talons. It was all in good fun though.
Ah yes. Class. It was starting~
SPOILER!!: PROFESSOR

Sitting instead of standing she sipped her tea and let the music just relax her mind. As the first child entered she let her green eyes watch him come in.
Oh goodness this one got a look, not a mean look just a look. Why was she whisper shouting? “Hello dear, it’s nice to meet you. Welcome to class.” making sure she spoke in her normal tone voice.

Bianca listened to the Professor speak and nodded her head slowly. She may have also started fiddling with the tail of her lion onesie out of boredom. Blah blah blah Professor blah divination blah welcome. And then she heard starting and snap cup. Oh so that was what that cup thing was for. So they could all be super awesome and brag about stuff.
... She liked it. Were they suppose to snap along though? Bianca was too busy brushing the plushy end of her tail against her chin to snap though. It felt really soft and it was nice. Plus what was the point of snapping? She would rather applaud.
The Gryffindor watched the professor finish up and sit in a chair. Then she looked at the tea. Bianca didn't drink tea. Only when she had too but even then she didn't enjoy it. So she pushed the cup away, pulling a face and resisting the lion inside of her to hiss at the cup. Or was it just a kitty spirit? Bianca was not sure. Instead she swished her tail in her mind. Now onto the real part of this class.
What forms of divination uses a crystal ball?
"Watching-TV-Omancy," she said after raising her hand. Honestly, her answer could not have possibly been more ridiculous than the others.

Pfft. Pffffffffffft. Toby smiled at Soph when she sat down by him. And called him cute.
"Lookin' pretty adorable yourself," he replied, keeping his own voice quiet too 'cause of the whole chill atmosphere in here, and the request to just relax and everything. "Did you wake up like that?" Toby added, smiling in that 'hahaha I'm hilarious' sort of way as he nodded to Soph's top. Ehehe.
He went back to being all hushed and relaxed a bit after that, going into a sort of daze (which was really easy in this classroom, wow) and not coming out of it until Professor Morgan spoke in that whole 'teacher-starting-a-lesson' voice.
All that snapping stuff came first, and of course Toby TOTALLY joined in; he totally agreed with Professor Morgan on the positivity stuff after all. Then it was time to really get stuck into this lesson. Go on. GO ON. He was READY. Sipsipsip.Blech.
... Oh, uhhh... apparently not so ready. Huh.
Even though he didn't know, Toby raised his hand anyway. "Uh... ball...omancy?" 'Cause of the crystal BALL, see? That sounded Divinationy.
Except a bunch of other kids had given two particular answers with the kind of confidence that meant they were clearly right. But it didn't matter. Failure was a part of learning. He regretted nothing.

'Now the way we get our lessons started is we like to become super positive...'
......................... No. No. NO!
Become super positive? Did he LOOK like the kind of guy who can be positive at this time? Sure, he was in his pyjamas, but that wasn't the point. And what was worse was that Professor Cassie went ahead and mentioned that word. The 's' word. SNAPS. Grayson groaned and rolled his eyes because he was just that dramatic and HATED this part of the class.
Yeah yeah, snaps for you and you and extra snaps for Ruby and her moment of pride. Because one of the ones the Divination professor had read out HAD to be--

Grayson smirked in the general direction of one Sophie Newell and even gave her a wink before he was distracted from her face by a nudge from another pretty face. Hellooooooooo to you too, Ruby. The significant looks? The fifteen year old raised an eyebrow but kept the smirk right in place, almost daring her to ask whatever it was she was trying to imply. Go on, Ruby, do your worst.
And the question? Crystalomancy. Because there were Crystal balls here. It didn't take a genius to figure that out. But Grayson was't going to put up his hand to say it, not when many other people had said it as well and certainly not when some people were coming out with some gems of an answer.
Kace smiled when the professor read out all the papers people were proud of. He snapped snapped snapped along with the others. This was gonna be a fun lesson. He wished they would dedicate the end of class time to nap time but that won't happen. They needed to learn, well he did for his OWLS. Anyways onto the task at hand. He heard her question and thought about it. Which divination used a crystal ball? He had no idea but he remembered getting asked that question. He heard Sophie's answer and it didn't seem too far off.
He thought what did he have to lose and raised his hand and said, "Professor I am going to go with logic on this one would it be called....Crystalomancy? Or something along those lines?" he shrugged innocently.
He would've been lying if he said that her positivity and excitement didn't surprise him a bit, so far whenever he'd been at school he'd never seen teachers this excited about their class and what they were going to be doing.
Oh well.
Relaxing a bit more, and taking a few more sips of the peppermint tea he grabbed on the way in he twirled his pen around in his fingers, waiting for something more to be said to take some notes on this.
Rucole Club Club|| film lyfe || mac and cheese queen|| *exits with trunkshot*
Something-omancy. There's his answer. He didn't exactly open his mouth to say it, nope. There was already a wave of people shouting and mumbling answers out. So something from that has to be right because, hello, there's Ravenclaws here, although one of them didn't get the pj memo. He'd offer his Hufflepuff blanket to her if she asks. If she asks. She was a few tables away and that was EFFORT to get up and be nice. EFFORT.
Anyways yeah, something-omancy because something was right. Dec just simply kept drinking his tea while all this was happening. He set down his cup, raking his fingers through his hair. Speaking of, it was getting really shaggy. Desperate need of a haircut. Maybe the crystal ball will tell him when to get it and what the form of divination it was used in. Tightning the blanket around his shoulders, he peered into the glass sphere for something.
Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always.
Chance has been sitting down in his comfy pajamas the whole time! He swore it!! As he sat, wide eyed, not out of breath, and not sweaty, he tried to pay attention to what the Professor was saying. Ok, something about Snap... Oh!! He had to write something he was proud of! On a tiny piece of paper he wrote, "Being a wizard." Because he couldnt think of anything else to write. It was the utmost important, best, most proud thing that he had ever known about himself. Point Blank.
Lost in this thoughts, Chance came around to the Professor talking about crystal balls. As he sat by another Gryffindor, who he had seen in the common room before, (IBEJENN!!!!) he almost laughed at her answer and had to hide it with a cough. "I wish!" He muttered under his breath and winked at her to make sure she knew he was talking to her. He raised his hand before almost yelling out, "Do we get to see the future with these Crystal Balls? Cause I am definitely up for that!!" He could see it now, Chance, married, on his way to the Ministry. Oh yea, plus the gang being up for a little Quidditch on teh weekends. What a life!

Professor Cassie.... Divination -- as opposed to DIVISION... which he HATED... this was, okay.
Zeke sat, staring and waiting for things to happen, and he slowly unpacked his bag too. A roll of parchment, his quill and ink... and yeah, just waiting. He thought things were going to be fairly full on, y'know, it being a lesson and all... but it was so cruisy in fact, he might have fallen asleep. The aroma of the room would have lulled him into a slumber, had it not irritated his nose instead. Zeke scrunched up his nose, squinting so as to fight the sneeze that wanted to escape, again. He managed to hold it in.
The whole SNAP CUP thing, was weird, and he couldn't say he LIKED it, but he didn't particularly dislike it either. Nevertheless he did as instructed and relaxed and listened.
When the lesson question came though, he blinked.
What were they doing with crystal balls? What FORM??? ...................
"Uhhhhh..... fortune telling and SEEING THINGS?" he pondered, hand raised. He had NO idea, clearly, but wasn't all divination fortune telling???

Almost giggling to herself as she heard his whisper she just continued to sip her tea. He’d find out in tie what her fabtastic snap cup was. It was certainly one of the most highlighted parts of her day. She gave him a little nod hello since he hadn’t talked and went back to sipping on her peppermint tea.
Oh and there was one of the twins from last term. Cassie gave her a little finger wiggle and hello nod. All the quiet students coming in she just knew it was the lavender and music making them calm.
There was Mr. Bay, Cassie gave him a nod and wider grin. In an almost whispered voice from her seat she spoke finally, “Congratulations on prefect, I think it is very well deserved.” He had risked his life for the school last term.
Someone who wished to speak, Cassie looked at the Ravenclaw prefect with a wide grin. “Hello Jasmine, My somewhere was wonderful. I hope yours was too. Congratulations on becoming prefect.” The young lady was a very good student in her class last year so it wasn’t a surprise that she was now wearing the badge.
She was just adoring all the pajamas as they came into the room. She knew some of her best readings were early in the morning in her pajamas, so why not hold class the same way. “Good morning Benjamin, I hope you had a lovely summer.” Did he get some tea, she hoped all of the students picked up a cup.
As the new head girl walked in Cassie just sat grinning and sipping her tea. She couldn’t say that Alexa Cambridge wasn’t a shock to be picked as head girl, she had heard plenty of stories last term and her own little issues at the beginning, but everything was certainly behind them and she never faulted students for their own lack of knowledge. “Good morning Miss Cambridge, Congratulations on becoming head girl. A very important role for your final year.”
Finishing off her tea and getting up to get another cup her green eyes lifted as she heard another student coming up into the classroom. “Good morning, good morning. Lovely to see you today.” She was new Cassie thought, but she was awful with names and human faces at times, so she wouldn’t suggest her being new just in case.
Seeing another face she was sure was new Cassie gave a sweet smile, “Hello dear” giving a nice finger wave she went back to smiling and sipping her tea.
Cassie was starting on her second cup of tea when more students started to make their way in. Giving a grin towards the Slytherin boy she nodded, “Good morning, how are you this fine day? It was a wonderful day so everyone was hopefully doing well.
“Hello, good day.” She greeted another Hufflepuff that had entered the room. Weren’t they all just having fun in their pajamas. She just loved pajama day.
Seeing Halcyon walking into the classroom Cassie gave the fourth year a finger wiggle and smile. Speaking to her just recently in one of the corridors. She just loved visiting with the students, but right now she was enjoying them coming in so nice and quiet and getting right to their snap cup moments.
[quotes=Devlin] First class for Devlin. He made his way in, wondering why they'd need to be in their pajamas, and as comfortable as it was, it made him uncomfortable. Didn't professors detest that type of idea?
No greet to the Professor was given. That would only happen if and when Devlin figured out if he liked this lady. Yep.
He saw the instructions and got out a piece of paper and took some time to think things through. What was he proud of?
SPOILER!!: All your amazing entrances
She watched as more children came in and one that looked at her cup a little funny. Oh how she loved to see the students reactions to her snap cup. It was such a glorious cup and has so much inspiration already sitting inside. She couldn’t wait to get up and read everyone’s proud moments.
Smiling as she saw the other one of the twins coming in, Cassie gave Angel a little nod and watched as she got to the snap cup. She was already starting to get a bit fidgety to want to go welcome each student by standing at the door and snapping for them. Snapping would come, but right now she needed them to be relaxed. So she just sipped her tea.
She saw the wave from the Hufflepuff boy and returned it with a smile and a finger wiggle. She also nodded in his direction. Was the room too comfortable, she noticed some were looking sleepy, but that just made them more relaxed didn’t it? Well either way she wasn’t worried at all.
Seeing a very familiar Lux coming into the room she gave the girl a beaming smile and a finger wiggle. “I did Lux thank you soo much for asking. I hope yours was well too.” Maybe she had spoken in her normal chipper voice when she was trying to stay calm and quiet, but it was just too hard not too when she was just so excited.
Goodness everyone seemed eager to start lessons this term and Cassie just couldn’t be happier. The excitement bouncing off the students was addictive and she couldn’t just sit any longer. Getting up she moved a little towards the board and turned as another addressed her. “Good Morning Marigold, congratulations on Prefect this term.” She had heard who the prefect were over the summer and made sure to remember their faces.
Seeing another new face, Cassie couldn’t help but bite her lip in worry. How on Merlin’s beard was she going to remember all these names and faces. She tried to imagine them as little animals. That might work better. A classroom of puppies and squirrels she could remember, but a classroom of people. At times she wished her gift was more towards humans than animals, but it was special just like she was. So she just continued to smile. Watching the young man move to the back and look a bit white, was he ill? Keeping her green eyes on him she noticed him writing but not moving. Sensing that she understood, Cassie got up and moved to the back leaning down close to him, “Hello there, why don’t I just take that up for you then you don’t have to get off the comfy pillow.” She gave him a smile and a wink before heading back to the front to drop his parchment in. No need for him to have to go up in front of the class if he was nervous.
Once she was back up at the front she noticed another Hufflepuff coming into the room, “Good morning Kace, thank you.” She beamed as he headed for a seat.
Another new face, yep the thirty three year old was now very nervous about remember each and everyone of them. Giving her a super sweet smile she nodded as the Ravenclaw made her way to the snap cup. Taking hold of her tea again she gave it another sip.
Watching a Gryffindor come into the room she smiled and nodded at him as he found his seat. Oh he’s sitting with the nervous looking boy. Good good Cassie wanted no nervous in her room. Her room was more for happy and well today relaxed feelings.
Seeing a young lady come into the room she gave her beaming smile, “Good morning. How are you today?” The pajamas were just wonderful she loved them all.
Yay! Another face she knew. Cassie felt a little less anxious seeing familiar faces. Giving the girl a small smile and hello nod she watched her do her snap cup entry.
Her green eyes scanning the clock almost time to start yes, but so many students were still coming in. This made Cassie super happy and even more bouncy at the moment. Giving the young boy a grin, “Good morning.” She was starting to realize she should have asked to make name tags, but she would deal.
Seeing a young boy walk in she gave yet another small smile and wave. Could they start yet? She was so ready to get started, but no she would wait for everyone.
Seeing Emmylou walk into the room Cassie gave her a smile, “Hello Emmylou it’s nice seeing you this morning. Oh and who do we have here? A little visitor.” She gushed over the stuffed animal. She didn’t mind it at all being in her room and she sipped her tea some more. Though she did take note that she sat next to the same Hufflepuff as last term.
Seeing another young student come in she gave a smile and finger wiggle, but the girl seemed eager to find a seat so she decided not to say hello. That could certainly be for later and the music well it was starting to calm her bouncy a bit.
Another new face entered the room and Cassie’s eyes widened. She hoped the boy was alright he looked like he had a rough night’s sleep and why was he in his robes? She could see the pajamas underneath so she found it a bit interesting, though she wouldn’t say anything. Uniqueness was what made everyone so special and if this was the boys unique ways coming through she would not discourage it.
Seeing a familiar Slytherin walk through the doors, Cassie smiled and gave her a little wave for greeting. Glancing at the clock she knew it was about time to get started.
“Hello Adi, it’s very good to see you too. Congratulations by the way on your prefect appointment.” It was exciting to see all the young students wearing badges.
Giving another student a nod and wave greeting Cassie finished her second cup of tea. Maybe she should hold off on a third one, it wouldn’t be good to need the loo in the middle of her own lesson now would it.
Oh goodness this one got a look, not a mean look just a look. Why was she whisper shouting? “Hello dear, it’s nice to meet you. Welcome to class.” making sure she spoke in her normal tone voice. No one had to whisper really, class hadn’t started just yet, but she appreciated the gesture in the calming atmosphere.
Cassie had shut her eyes only for a second, she wasn’t sleeping, just getting her mind ready for the lesson when she felt someone coming in. Looking towards the young Hufflepuff she gave a nod and smile. So many students today, this was just so exciting.
Seeing one in blue pajamas Cassie grinned and waved. What pretty pajamas those were. She could only think that pair of blue heeled slippers would just be so adorbs with them.
Another one? Wait? Cassie turned her eyes and counted. She had only remembered the twins, but this one looked similar, but yet different. Checking her class roster that sat on her desk in the front she nodded to herself, yes there were three weren’t there. How did she miss this last term.
“Hello, hello welcome.” The boy looked like a first year so she assumed a welcome was very much needed. Shew as excited to get to meet the new students as well as see the older ones.
Beaming at the next student, Cassie gave a little finger wave. “Gooooood morning Penelope, how are you this fabulous morning?” It was fabulous Divination was about to start.
“Good morning to you too Cinnamon. I had a wonderful summer, did you?” She hoped all her students had a great summer and now were ready to be back. Watching the young Gryffindor make her way over to a group of people she certainly made note of the boy missing from the group and sitting grumpily on the other side of the room. Students were soo interesting to watch at times.
Getting in her ready place in front of the classroom she smiled again as another had given her a smile. All the students just seemed so happy to be back at school it was a lovely feeling. Brought hope and energetic vibes to the room.
Giving a grin and wave to a boy in plaid she decided that she was in need of the third cup of tea. The students were still coming in and she was needing full focus from her excitement. So pouring herself another cup she blew on it to cool.
“Ethan, hellllllllo. I am very ready for my first class. We will be starting very soon.” She beamed and gave her first snaps of the day. She couldn’t help it, it was just too exciting to talk about her first lesson of the new term. “Congratulations by the way on becoming Prefect.” Very good job!
“Hello, welcome. I hope you had a great summer.” beaming as she sipped her tea. Was there caffeine slipped into her favorite non caffeinated beverage? The more she sipped the more excited she felt like she was getting. Closing her eyes she gave a few deep breaths to calm.
“Zander, so good to see you. I hope you had a lovely summer.” she greeted the Gryffindor before going back in her own head to be ready for the lesson to start.
Seeing who was coming in next Cassie lost all train of thought and just watched him. She had never felt like a child was an issue, but she knew how others felt about him. She could reach out and give him fair chances, because he was just expressing himself, so she gave him a very encouraging smile and wave as he went to his seat.
Seeing another young one come in Cassie beamed at her nd gave a little wave.
Oh and an older Hufflepuff next. Wonderful just wonderful to have so many. “Good morning.” She greeted excitedly.
Smiling as another young man had entered she was certain she would need name tags today. So many wonderful students. This was just so amazing. “Hello there. How are you today?” [/quote]
Seeing another come in she watched the young lady head to a seat and seem to struggle with the snap cup. Well it would get easier she just knew it!
“Good Morning” She greeted cheerfully as the next boy came through the door.
Another girl had come in and Cassie noticed she was not in pajamas, well it wasn’t for everyone and the girl got a nice smile and wave, but then something happened. She jumped a foot and spilled some of her tea as the girl yelled for a friend. Goodness that was loud in her calm room. Closing her eyes she took a few deep breaths to get back into the relaxed state she had been working so hard for at the moment.
Dec climbed up to the Divination classroom, sluggishly, with a Hufflepuff themed blanket draped around his shoulders. He groaned at the sight of the comfy looking classroom. It was bad enough that he was practically asleep already and now she had them coming in pjs into a room that was perfect for napping?? Is that what they were doing? Napping? Because he would love that very, very much.
Oh, right. Gotta contribute to that snap cup thing. He oughta pour himself a cup of tea first, it looked tempting. So now, with tea in one hand, he stared down at the blank scrap of paper. Ummm...OH![/quote]
Seeing another boy come in she gave him a smile and wave. Ohhhh look at there hufflepuff blanket. She just looooved it.
Seeing Grayson walk in Cassie beamed at the young Slytherin. “Good morning Mr. Grayson, I hope you are having a wonderful morning.” Her smile only grew more with his words. “Thank you for appreciating the gesture. It is very nice to hear those words when you are doing something nice.” Very good manners this one. [
Finishing off her third cup of tea, yes her third Cassiopeia vanished the mug since she was fully finished and flicked her wrist turning the music way down to a whisper. Green eyes scanned across the room and she wondered if Nessa would be joining them. She wouldn’t mind if a certain other person would have decided to join, but right that wasn’t something to think about now, so Cassie turned to the board and cleared it. “OHMYGOSH, can I first say how wonderful it is to see all these adrob Pj’s. You all look fabulous. Plus with the start of term why not have a comfy way to get back in the swing of things.” EEEP! She was snapping now so much for calm and collected.
“First things first, for those who don’t know me, my name is Professor Cassie and you are in Divinations right now.” Just to make sure no one wondered in by mistake. “Welcome to anyone who hasn’t ever been here and welcome back to those who have. Now the way we get our lessons started is we like to become super positive and what better way to be positive then going into the snap cup.” Picking up the pink cup she stuck her hand in finding the first parchment. “I will read everyone’s without names, so once I’m done with a proud moment everyone snaps for the person.” Were they ready? Pulling out the first one she looked at it, this was interesting.. hmmm, Then she read it very clear and grammatically correct without missing a beat, “I'm proud that I stood up 4 expresing myself thru fashion even tho sum peepl r stuck in the midle ages & think its ok 2 limit peepls individualty. Snaps for expressing yourself.” Yes this was good and she snapped happily. Pulling out the next one, “I'm proud of not being a girl and not make drama. And to be in Slytherin too. Snaps for being a boy and a Slytherin.” She snapped and giggled at this one. She just loved everyone’s proud moments. Going through the rest of them and snapping of course to each, she finally came to the final one in the cup, “"I am proud of my wonderful little sister Emilie. Snaps for Emilie.” Wasn’t that just wonderful.
“Now that the excitement is over we are going to be doing something today that requires everyone to be the most comfortable and relaxed they possibly can be. The mind is better at certain Divinations when it is fully clear of anything else. So as we dicsuss today’s topic please sip your tea, let the smell of the lavender and the sound of the music just relax you.” Moving towards her own chair she decided to sit and work on the relaxing part too. Rolling her shoulders a bit she smiled, “So seeing the crystal balls on the table should be a clue as to what we will be discussing, but what form of divination uses a crystal ball?”
OOC: You all are just amazing let me first say that! With the snap cup she has read everyone's with time and space I use a number generator to pick ones at random, but thank you so much for all your proud moments. They are just adorable![/QUOTE]
Gabriel was content to just...stay sat at the table with Jeremiah; knuckles white with the force of his grip...BUT then a shadow loomed overhead and he glanced up to see the older blond woman.
...and she looked REALLY....uh, happy?
The woman was speaking at him...and smiling. Gabe supposed she was attempting to be placating...or something. It might've worked...if she hadn't of WINKED at him just seconds later. He instinctively shrunk back into the cushion, face paling a bit further. Girls. Girls were everywhere. Even...uh, older ones...Not that she was being....particularly insane....or...terrifying....
A cold sweat had broken out...and Gabriel was now trembling. In fact, he was sweating so profusely that the back of his shirt was already sticking to his skin; uncomfortably so. His sweater seemed to be weighing him down, though it couldn't possibly be doing so. Logically.
...and what was this about tea?! He hadn't......gotten tea...Though, realistically, Gabe doubted some Lavender tea would be enough to relax his nerves. NOTHING relaxed his nerves...
Trying to distract himself, he sluggishly pulled colored ink and several different quills from his school bag. The...uh, Professor had asked a....question...but there was no way he'd be speaking out loud. Not.....No. He couldn't. So, he'd focus on this small task for now.

.... Way to start out the new term. By not knowing the answer to the very first question of the very first lesson. Next time he was going to sit next to Cinna. Divination was her strong point right? Maybe she'd help him get the first question right. But he was perfectly content in his spot right near CB and Sophie. So it wasn't all a loss. But right. The question. Instead of answering the one, he just listened carefully to everything the others had to say.
Were these things even real O-mancies? Or were people just making this stuff up? The Gryffindor wasn't really sure at this point... But he was sure confused. And if you looked at him it was pretty easy to tell with all the looking back and forth at everyone who answered and the head tilting and the big WHAA expression on his face. Because really? Ballomancy?
This class was just one big HUH-OMANCY??

As the class started Bay couldn't help but smile at all the lions that were answering Professor Morgans question, they seemed a lot smarter than he was at that age. Letting them answer Bay just sat back and sipped his tea, at least he got drinks while he was in class and comfy pillows even though his legs have already started to go numb.

Super positive? She was starting to reconsider her decision to give this class another chance. Forced positivity wasn't her bag at all. Neither was snapping. So, instead of taking part in the snapping, Heather just sat and half-listened to what was being read. Of course, she smirked when 'Professor Cassie' (of course her name was Cassie) read her parchment.
Then they were moving on to the lesson, which was something she could get into. Except that there were a lot of answers being thrown out. None of which sounded right to her ears. Those were crystal balls, right? So....... "Crystal ball reading?" Made sense.

Not long after the fifteen year old had entered the classroom, Sammy had followed in and sat somewhere away from his cousin. She frowned across the room at him hoping that he’d take a message. Her glaring was soon interrupted by the appearance of Eden who had sat on the pillow between Layla and for the first time the fifth year had noticed her, Clara. She made her greeting and started asking a question but the professor had started talking before she could answer.
Layla didn’t get what all this snapping and praising business was all about but she found it pretty pathetic and sickly and girly for her liking. Although she was incredibly sporty, Layla could be pretty girly herself but nothing like this professor. No. This was her worst nightmare. She didn’t join in with any of the snapping because quite frankly she didn’t want to look like a fool. Instead she stared at the blonde bombshell at the front of the room and listened to her words entirely disinterested.
If there was one thing that she could be certain of right now it would be that she wouldn’t be enjoying this subject in the slightest. It was all flouncy and ornate. She had been to enough Carnivals to know that every single fortune teller with their tarot cards and crystal balls were complete and utter frauds. She would not be falling for the oldest trick in the book.
The professor, if you could call her that (Layla was thinking more of a hobbit), started blabbing on about tea and lavender and music and making it sound more like a yoga session than a lesson. What WAS this?! She asked a question to the class and with her notebook on the lowered desk in front of her the blonde merely listened to her classmates innocent answers.
Her answer? A load of false pretences.
Layla hadn't SAID anything, but Eden smiled her way. She would have asked the girl something, but then thought better of it. It seemed that she didn't want to talk and stuff. Hmm. She didn't want to overly irritate Layla...NOPE. It seemed the girl was easily irritated.

... Well, most of them. Not the one that was calling her name and making her way to sit beside her.
SPOILER!!: Eden bby
She did see some nice faces. "HI CLARA!" she beamed at who she deemed her closest friend so far at Hogwarts--since they shared a dorm together and all. She took a seat next to her and Layla, and smiiiiiiled all wide at the other girl. "Hi Layla--" she said and nudged her. They had kind of bonded the other day when Eden was LOCKED OUT of the common room. Well. Eden was just horrible at riddles--shameful Ravenclaw! She was still convinced she was a lion at heart and would behave as such. Maybe. Once she got over the fear of getting in trouble.
HEY BB! Eden spotted Bianca and waved frantically at her. "BBBBBB!" she said, beaming all wide at the girl. Bianca was the life of the PARTAY most times, and Eden could hang with someone like that--more fun that way! "I didn't wear pajamas....I'm a failure.." she whispered...to her friends. Not caring who would answer or respond---JUST SOMEONE MAKE HER FEEL BETTER. Her cheeks were still very red, and she kind of slunk down in her seat. Only it was a pillow. So slinking was hard. "Clara--hide me--" she said quickly, putting her hands over her face.
The redhead relaxed slightly at Eden's appearance. At least now she had familiar company and someone that she could look to if she felt .... overwhelmed. "DENNY!" She greeted, patting the seat next to hers and gave the girl her most dazzling grin, before realising something ..... "Where are your pajamas?" Had she not read the notice board? Her dormmate was wearing robes, a massive contrast to everyone else in the room.
It shouldn't matter too much, though ... she hoped .... "Hey," she frowned. "You're not a failure at all." She shuffled her seat a little closer to Eden for emotional support or something and nudged her gently. Then her head snapped up at the Professor's voice sounding from the front of the class. Time to begin.
SPOILER!!: Professoooor

OOC: You all are just amazing let me first say that! With the snap cup she has read everyone's with time and space I use a number generator to pick ones at random, but thank you so much for all your proud moments. They are just adorable!
........... Well, that was certainly interesting. OHMYGOSH? Adorbs PJs? Clara hadn't expected her to speak that way at all, even if she did look super chilled. She could ... adjust to it, though. At least she was nice.
She wasted no time pulling out several pieces of parchment, a pencil, a quill and ink. All ready, she thought and listened carefully to what the Professor was saying. The concept of 'snap cups' seemed strange to her, but she ... appreciated the positivity in a sense and even jotted down a few people's positive notes if they caught her attention. 'I'm proud of knowing two ancient languages.' That one stood out to her as Gabe's, without a shadow of a doubt, but she didn't see the point of writing it down. She simply tossed a look his way and went back to focussing solely on what the Professor was saying.
.. Huh ... this was ..... she didn't know what to make of it. For one thing, Clara didn't do relaxing when she was surrounded by people, and she didn't like tea. So this plan wasn't going to work .... She could, however, answer the question about what form of divination uses crystal balls. While she might not be particularly interested in the subject, she had gone and read up on a fair few things. Including this. Ignoring the other students presence and looking straight at Professor Morgan, Clara raised her hand confidently in the air. "It's crystallomancy, Professor.'' ... Obviously.
Eden shot another smile at Clara. "Hi." She said, you know, again, because it was necessary and all. "Don't be nervous--" she whispered, winking at her fiery-headed friend. She wanted CLara to feel okay and NOT nervous. The poor girl was nervous enough as is. And, focusing on making sure Clara was okay also helped Eden not focus on her OWN nervousness.

Ah yes. Class. It was starting~
Bianca listened to the Professor speak and nodded her head slowly. She may have also started fiddling with the tail of her lion onesie out of boredom. Blah blah blah Professor blah divination blah welcome. And then she heard starting and snap cup. Oh so that was what that cup thing was for. So they could all be super awesome and brag about stuff.
... She liked it. Were they suppose to snap along though? Bianca was too busy brushing the plushy end of her tail against her chin to snap though. It felt really soft and it was nice. Plus what was the point of snapping? She would rather applaud.
The Gryffindor watched the professor finish up and sit in a chair. Then she looked at the tea. Bianca didn't drink tea. Only when she had too but even then she didn't enjoy it. So she pushed the cup away, pulling a face and resisting the lion inside of her to hiss at the cup. Or was it just a kitty spirit? Bianca was not sure. Instead she swished her tail in her mind. Now onto the real part of this class.
What forms of divination uses a crystal ball?
"Watching-TV-Omancy," she said after raising her hand. Honestly, her answer could not have possibly been more ridiculous than the others.

She was a few tables away and that was EFFORT to get up and be nice. EFFORT.
Anyways yeah, something-omancy because something was right. Dec just simply kept drinking his tea while all this was happening. He set down his cup, raking his fingers through his hair. Speaking of, it was getting really shaggy. Desperate need of a haircut. Maybe the crystal ball will tell him when to get it and what the form of divination it was used in. Tightning the blanket around his shoulders, he peered into the glass sphere for something.
Eden waved at Bianca and just hoped the girl wouldn't comment about her ...lack of PJs you know? She noticed a certain boy-- OH MERLIN. It was RORIE'S BROTHER. DECLAN. SHe WAVED frantically at him--but wait--he had never met her. So. He just thought she was some RANDOM female? UGH. She would have to introduce herself to him riiiiight after class, yeah?
SPOILER!!: Aliiii/Cassssie!

Eden blushed when she saw she had made the professor--who was VERY friendly--jump. Oops. "I'm so sorry Professor--" she said, and she pulled out some tissues from her bag--but she had started class, so she just sank back in her pillow and wanted to hide behind Clara.
UGH.
Embarrassment to the extreme. She had no idea what was going on. There was lots of snapping...and when she read Eden's aloud she just blushed. Right. She hadn't know they;d be read ALOUD or she would have been forth more EFFORT into them, right? Right. She wouldn't talk anymore, nope. She just...listened and...whuuuut.
She had no clue. This was her first DIVI class. So. Yeah. She just stared at the crystal ball and tapped it with her finger a bit...right. Would she see somethin' in there? She shot a look at Clara and then even at LAYLA before looking back up at the professor. She had to snort at Bianca's answer---ooooh she was such a hoot! She would't say anything since she knew nothing.
Yep. Eden was that type of student.

...He would. Literally the biggest nerd of all. Sophie snorted at Toby's did you wake up like that joke and gave him a light shove, grinning all the while. Such a big cheeseball.
As class began, Soph settled onto the pillow, suppressing a yawn already as the snaps stuff went on. The room was so cozy and so warm and her body was fighting the daily early morning run she'd started with again... but when the professor moved onto the actual divination stuff, Soph managed to sit up a little straighter, get her parchment and quill ready, and look attentive.
Huh. At the first question, her first instinctive guess was, like, crystomancy, but then others were saying something like crystallomancy, which made more sense, so Sophie kept to herself. That was probably right, even though it was more of a mouthful and she liked her answer better. She especially appreciated Toby's answer, though, and tried to keep from giggling at him to no avail.
At least his answer hadn't been as dumb as the "watching-TV-omancy" one. Merlin.

Ian G. Hale (don’t ask what the ‘G’ stands for) loved Hogwarts.
Oh yes. Long train rides through beautiful landscapes, large feasts with ridiculous amounts of pastries and sweets and candy and everything his growing tummy could desire… and then, on top of it all, he could go to his classes in PJs. WHERE ELSE WAS SCHOOL THIS CHILL? NOWHERE, THAT’S WHERE. Suck on that, American schools. PPFFT. Ian was so over those.
Eyeing the fuzzy snap cup thing on his table, Ian scribbled onto a loose piece of parchment he happened to be carrying in his pocket: “I am Proud 2 be sexy Beast.” He stuffed the parchment carelessly into the cup and proceeded to lounge comfortably on the many pillows, spreading out and stretching his limbs like a lazy indoor cat.
Just when the boy was beginning to doze off into a pleasant sleep, the hot teacher started reading the LAMEST FREAKIN’ CONFESSIONS HE HAD EVER HEARD. Oh my God, were these kids 10 or what.
“I'm proud that I stood up 4 expresing myself thru fashion even tho sum peepl r stuck in the midle ages” “BOOOOOO!!!!”
LOL fashion. And what even are the middle ages, why are we talking about 50-yr-olds no one cares about, gtfo.
Now the hottie was asking about forms of divination and crystal balls and all Ian could do was snicker quietly to himself. Heh. Hehheh.. crystal ball… lol… ha…HAHA…AHAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHAA.
And people’s answers. “ballomancy.”
What even.
Of course, he had no valuable input because duh. He was Ian. Bringing his hot presence along was input enough.
Norah found it hard to stay awake through the professor's reading of the bazillion proud moments, so she busied herself with her tea instead. She pondered the question, listening to the other students' answers before chancing a guess herself. "You look at it and it tells you the future, right? She squinted at one of the foggy orbs. "Like right now it looks like it's going to be foggy tomorrow. Because there's all that white stuff floating in it? Maybe? Or not. Nevermind." She shrunk back into her pile of cushions. So much for starting the year off on the right foot.
Paloma sat there, glancing at the tea cups, feeling like her fingers tapped along to the music, and definitely enjoying the smell of lavender everywhere in the room. She was very close to imagine herself taking a bath, and almost falling asleep...
But no.
She was in class. She was going to pay attention! Once her eyes went back to the open self, she looked around at the answers that her classmates gave to Professor Cassie, which gave her many ideas...concerning the subject. Maybe she wasn't much of a believer of 'looking into the eye of the future' and all that, but knowing how it worked, and the actual enviroment they were getting inside that classroom...
"Well, is like...looking...seeing through the crystal ball, which is...scry..."Scrying...she couldn't pronounce the word, since she had only seen it once in English, yet all the rest in Spanish. It was like her tongue got stuck, but it was something like that, right? She tapped her temple a few times, though couldn't complete the word, which she hoped the professor understood.

Samantha was really loving the calm, relaxing atmosphere. She took a small sip of her tea as Professor Morgan discussed the lesson. When the teacher asked a question, Sam raised her hand, shyly, "There are different names for the art of divination via crystal ball. Apart from the term crystal ball gazing there are the terms spheromancy and gastromancy to name a couple,"
She hoped those were correct as Divination wasn't one of her best subjects.
Justine hadn't been able to think of a single thing at all to write on that silly piece of pale, not for lack of trying, but the lavender wafting through the classroom and the relative warmth was making her drowsy and she couldn't focus. Why was she even in this class? She didn't even like divination. You'd thought it would be a laugh. Well, yeah, but so far it's just sort of dull.
And then Professor Cassie began pulling out the little pieces of proud paper, and giving out snaps for the most inane things and Justine was at full attention. Why was their Professor channeling Elle Woods? Was there one Professor in this whole place that wasn't seemingly mad? The Ravenclaw was having a hard time biting back her laughter, especially when someone to her side shouted out a loud and obnoxious; BOOOOOOOOOOO.
She just managed to turn the laugh into a coughing fit, which abruptly ended as she turned to the seemingly hilarious individual only to see-
Ian. G. Freaking. Hale. Oh, damn it all to hell, She hadn't expected to see that little pervy weirdo this early into term (she'd actually hoped to somehow avoid the boy as much as possible). Maybe Merlin would have mercy on her and Ian wouldn't notice her... As casually as she could, Justine began to edge slowly away from the Gryffindor creep.

Slack…that was what her jaw was doing. Just hanging open with so much ridiculous slack da-aad…would have asked if I was trying to catch flies she thought and winced slightly. And now they had to do a stupid snap cup?
And feign positivity for lame things that drull people were proud of? Okay maybe if she wasn’t so tired she’d have well…a glimmer of her normal zest to her. But no, not today. Not right now.
Sure she snapped. But there was no enthusiasm to it. She was sure she had seen that call to arms about fashion and it was….well, stupid? They should have put uniforms on the darn supply list if they wanted people to wear them. She’d only lucked out by word from that Kara girl saying she just bought her uniform…otherwise she’d definitely not look the part.
Heck. She had skirts shorter than that girls. Her jaw was suddenly tight, her molars nearly grinding together. Proud to be a boy? Sure the guy was lucky and for so many reasons he had no idea of. All she snapped to was well the pretense of it all.
She didn’t know these people but she wasn’t 100% sure that she’d get along with them. Fashion girl and Snake boy might have been made for each other for all she knew.
Okay. Snaps. Those were real. Heck if you were fluent in snappish you could probably see that they weren’t oozing sarcasm for a change. Being proud of a sibling was a good thing…she was proud of hers but that was a hard thing for her to think about.
And then she heard it the laughter and she couldn’t help but send the guy a quick smile. It wasn’t a knowing smile really, it was more,…appreciative. Heck she appreciated his snark. AND fine, she appreciated more than his well attitude…maybe it was something to do with the general slope of his jaw.
Sure he looked sort of familiar from the start of term feast…….but she’d have to introduce herself later? But please why not make an impression now?
She was sitting up straighter…winking? Oh yes that had happened. And taking a sip of the tea.
HOT! It was hot. She forgot tea was hot.
Nonononononononoooooooo her poor throat! It was all sore and scratchy and she had spewed tea on the back of some unfortunate kid’s head. Sure, she’d made an impression…the wrong one.

Sniff.
Sniff sniff. *DEEEEEEEEP inhale*
What was that delicious smell, like strawberries and flowers and fresh-baked cookies, with the slightest hint of vanilla? Was it another one of the hot lady’s fancy scented spells, or was it… the smell of… a… HOT. GIRL.
Suddenly wide awake, Ian scrambled up to his knees, sniffing the air like a mad dog. WHERE. WHERE WAS SHE. HE COULD SMELL HER FROM A MILE AWAY.
And then— BAM!
Long brown hair, smooth tan skin, impossibly green eyes…
It was the bae.
As Professor Hottie continued reciting royally lame confessions, Ian quietly crawled his way to Justine’s side, sneaking up on the girl by slithering like a determined, disgusting little worm, to the empty arrangement of pillows beside her. In one swift, totally casual motion, the fourteen-year-old plopped down on the bed of pillows, resting his blond head on the palm of his hand and smiling coyly up at her.
“Hey gurl hey.”

Emry’s pants. He somehow forgot how enthusiastic one Professor Cassie Morgan can be. Ethan returned the beamy smile with his own, and nodded to show his appreciation for her snaps. Teehee. Was Grayson seeing this? He’ll bet the older boy’s grinding his teeth in irritation. But well, it makes Divination more interesting though, doesn’t it? If the subject gets boring, then he can focus on Professor’s bizarre habit of snapping. “Thank you, Professor.” For congratulating him. And as prefect, he will do his best to keep an OPEN eye to make sure that his snakes aren’t napping or anything.
However, the question earlier was for Hugo who sat beside him, but Ethan appreciates the professor’s response nonetheless. Students need to talk to professors too, see? The prefect turned his attention then to Hugo whom he caught yawning. Ethan grinned and ruffled the boy’s hair. It’ll be a challenge to stay UP in this class, that’s for sure. “I said that I was proud of you guys.” BEAM. It was the truth! Ethan saw a bunch of promising first years in his House, and it made his prefect duties easier.
And then there was the question. Merlin, it was hard to think when there’s tea to drink, plus inhaling the constant smell of lavender. Ethan took a sip of tea from his cup when he heard Hugo’s answer. Yes, the crystal ball was used to aid a witch or wizard to see the future, but there was a term for that, right? With his hand up, “Crystal-gazing, professor.” Or Crystallomancy. Fancy-shmancy term.
Ethan took another sip of his tea and saw a girl, spitting her drink on...someone.
Cringe.
Disgustin'.

Justine had really believed herself safe from Ian’s notice and she’d spent a bit of time proudly patting herself on the back for doing such a good job at giving the annoying boy the slip. The Canadian-pretending-to-be-French girl flipped back her long brown hair and turned her attention to the annoying and seemingly trivial lesson.
Mostly she was listening to the other student’s answers and trying very hard not to fall asleep on the comfy cushion.
Justine was trying so hard not to fall asleep that she was completely unaware of Ian’s crawling his way toward her like some unpleasant slimy animal, until of course he flopped down obnoxiously right next to her in the most ridiculous pose of all space and time and addressed her with the stupidest sentence ever.
UGGHHHHH.
“Vanish ‘ale, I’m busy.” She said in that prim, affected French accent of hers, taking a sip of the herby tea and not looking at his ridiculous face.
