As you come through the trap door the first thing you notice is that very familiar faint calming music sound and the smell of lavender going through the air. A very relaxing tone is bein set just as the first lesson, but this time there are no crystal balls on tables, actually there are no small tables. Instead there are long tables in the center of the room and then full length mirrors all over the outside of the room.

Don't worry there are enough seats and it seems enough mirrors for everyone who attends. In the front of the room you will see the ever familiar snap cup with the same directions.

Quote:

Using the parchment provided please write down your proud moment or the proud moment of someone you know and place it in the snap cup.

There seems to be only one difference then the normal lessons. Where was the smiling five foot blonde professor? It seems Professor Cassie could be running behind or got distracted in her office, because she is no where to be seen yet.

.....no more snap cup? But, buuuuut she had been so proud of what she'd put in there! Growing two centimeters was a big deal, even if the meany pants queen professor didn't think so. Norah glared at her and began drumming her fingers on the table. If this was gonna be a dumb lesson, couldn't she just leave? But then meanie Queenie would send ehr down to the dungeons. Snoooort meanie queenie. Hehehehe. The second year stared at her shoes to keep from laughing. Meanie Queenie. Heh.

And then that Gryffindor boy was talking about scrying again. She didn't even know what scrying WAS, that class had been aaaages ago. Norah raised her hand anyway, determined not to be yelled at by loony Professor Morgan. "You must clean them first before looking." Theeeere. That was a thing, right? Cleaning? She went back to tapping her fingers on the table.

Divination was not something she planned on liking or believing in, but that last snac meeting made a believer out of her. A spirit had appeared and even talked through the professor. That was totally cool, and AJ would be way more pumped for these lessons for here on out.

As usual the professor wanted them to write down a proud moment, and there were actually a few that came to mind. Which one to use? She was proud that she was able to kick down a professor's door and not get detention. She was proud that she didn't tackle Ian to the ground again. She was totally growing. Putting quill to parchment she finally came up with something.

It was vague, but there was no need to go all into it.

SPOILER!!: Post One

Finally the Queen had found something decent to wear that showed that she was a queen. That ridiculous woman that taught in the tower had no clue what real fashion was. Thankfully she had something that could represent the Queen in all her glory. Walking with pride through the trap door she looked around. "What on earth is this awful place." Seriously why was her castle such a disaster. She blamed that horrible step daughter. Was she here? If she was there would be a heart to take.

Glancing around she noticed children, ugh! Such disgusting things weren't they. Though she would deal with them since none of them was as beautiful as her. The queen carried a book under her arm and an apple in her hand. She never went anywhere without her special apples. "I am your queen and you will bow down before me. Have you no manners? Very well I have something to share with you. You should feel oh so lucky. " She certainly didn't read to just anybody.

Opening the book she began to read, "Who's there?" she called suspiciously, remembering the dwarfs advice. "I'm an old peasant woman selling apples," came the reply. "I don't need any apples, thank you," she replied. "But they are beautiful apples and ever so juicy!" said the velvety voice from outside the door. "I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said the little girl, who was reluctant to disobey her friends. "And quite right too! Good girl! If you promised not to open up to strangers, then of course you can't buy. You are a good girl indeed!" Then the old woman went on. "And as a reward for being good, I'm going to make you a gift of one of my apples!" Without a further thought, Snow White opened the door just a tiny crack, to take the apple. "There! Now isn't that a nice apple?" Snow White bit into the fruit, and as she did, fell to the ground in a faint: the effect of the terrible poison left her lifeless instantaneously." Suddenly she slammed the book shut. "That idiot" Who wrote this book? They had the ending clearly wrong.

She slammed the book down on the long table near the peasants. She would rip out it's heart if it had one, but since it didn't her eyes flashed to the mirrors. "Oh a magic mirror. Tell me peasants why do you have magic mirrors in your class?" Where did they get them? Only the queen had a magic mirror. She moved towards the mirrors waiting for an answer and if it wasn't an answer she wanted they would pay.

ooc: Whoops forgot to place this here. The story was found and from here.

Queen? Bow down before her? Great, another professor that was loony tunes. At least when Airey lost it, he let them have a food fight and have fun. Cassie seemed to be on some sort of power trip. Actually she was sounding a lot like Lex did when she got a sip of the tainted pumpkin juice. Because AJ was still so sure that was the issue here.

Magic mirrors and peasants. This should be fun. AJ was not going to bow down to her before she spoke so this... whoever this was... was just going to have to accept that little fact. "We have them to see into the future." Duuuuh. Could the smash them against the wall? That would be pretty epic.

SPOILER!!: Post 2

Ummm... okay. Did she even need to reply to the craziness? Would that just draw attention to her? That didn't sound like such a good thing. In fact AJ was wishing that she didn't come to the lesson at all. It seemed like a not so smart choice now.

To answer or not to answer? That was the question. Deciding to go ahead and say her piece, AJ raised her hand. Oh, right. She probably didn't need to do that. "All I know is that you are supposed to look in the crystal ball and see stuff." Something that AJ had never managed to do actually.

kayquilz · 10-24-2014, 02:26 PM

Eden was so unamused. Her eyebrows would soon lift right off of her face. "Professor--" she definitely made a point to keep calling her that, since she apparently didn't like it. "We know NOTHING about scrying because you're supposed to know."

So maybe she was being a bit harsh, okay? She just sat, quietly, and waited to see whatever punishment this loon donned on their unfortunate little heads. She folded her arms across her chest and kept a very APATHETIC look on her face--but really, she was worried about Professor Cassie--WHAT HAD THIS IMPOSTOR DONE TO HER? Was Professor Cassie still THERE? Eden hoped so--

This was awful, and it was reminding her of Astro ALL over again, and she did NOT want to relive that chaos of a class again. No NO. Eden SWORE if this person locked ANYONE in a closet she was going to hex her. Yep. Hexing.

A professor.

Because that was smart..

And where had that bloody book gone?

FearlessLeader19 · 10-24-2014, 03:00 PM

Ohh. That would explain a lot. Adi now realised he had never asked Benny how exactly he became the Hatter but if it had something to do with that book then it would also explain Norah' strange behaviour. She had come in contact with it too. In the common room, the same day Peeves had dumped glitter and confetti all over his hair.

''Well, it's gone now, Benny...'' What a strange book.

Scrying. The Hufflepuff raised a hand, wishing the Mean Queen would just disappear like the book. Who cared if she liked the snap cup or not? It was Professor Cassie's. "It's where we gaze into translucent stuff with the hope of seeing images.''

Felixir · 10-24-2014, 06:07 PM

All Toby had managed to figure out from this lesson so far was that it was probably best to be as quiet and invisible as possible, especially if Astronomy was anything to go by. Morgan was waaaaaaay to happy and peppy for this to be any sort of act, Toby always got the impression she'd never even dream of hurting someone's feelings, even through pretending to be another character. Nahhh, this was some Hogwarts crazy going on.

So Toby said nothing. Nothing about the book, nothing about the way the professor was acting, nothing about the broken snap cup. He just watched.

And when Queen Professor asked her question? Well, he said... nothing. But Toby did write things in his notes. Because he WAS in a lesson, and this WAS his OWL year. If he wasn't in this lesson Toby would just be studying hard for Divination in the library anyway.

SPOILER!!: notes

She glared wanting an answer right at that moment.

UH OH. Professor Morgan had totally fallen off her rocker and it was all his fault! Hate potion or not he most definitely broke her. Holy Merlin, how come whenever someone else insulted a Professor nothing happened. But OF COURSE when Zander just so happened to let a few things slip all hell broke loose? Why was it always him, hmm?

Well, if anything this meant he had to fix it. He had to save Professor Morgan from whatever mess her heart was in. Gah. Being the hero was so consuming.

O_______O HEY? How come she was rolling her eyes at him!? It was a serious answer!! He was trying to help her!! "Well, for one even though Scrying sounds like crying, they aren't the same thing." He learned that the hard way. "And you said it was kind of hard to do and that we have to concentrate and clear our minds...?" He was trying so hard, Professor. So hard to not make her even more upset.

Zander had broken Professor Morgan. And he had to fix her. But HOW?

Expecto-Penguin · 10-24-2014, 06:46 PM

Kace thought the professor or the Queen she was liking to be called was acting a bit strange. He didn't even touch the book yet and the book went poof. Well he knew he wasn't going to the dungeons since obviously the book was gone. But he thought it was a little extreme to be sent to the dungeons over a silly book don't ya think? Then she destroyed the SNAC cup and he jumped when he heard the cup break. Man Professor Cassie was off her rocker. She never seen this side of her before. He was just sitting there quietly and then he heard the next question.

What did he know about Scrying? He didn't really know too much but he was sure it had to do with crystal gazing right? He raised his hand and offered some answer to his queen, "Erm my Queen is it? Yeah um scrying is also called seeing or peeping and it when you look into a crystal ball or whatever and can be visions.." He really didn't know how to talk to her anymore.

hermionesclone · 10-24-2014, 06:46 PM

..................... Professor Cassie?!

What in the name of Merlin? What was with the weird getup? Because Grayson was totally digging it. And what he was digging more was the weird, slightly evil nature. Lulz. It was weird, for one thing, because Professor Cassie was usually known to be the nice, bouncy one who looked like she'd had too many Cheering Charms placed on her. But this? THIS?! This was something he could welcome. Especially when..............

.............. OH NO SHE DI'NT!

BUT SHE DID! SHE BROKE THE SNAP CUP!!!!

FREAKING YEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Grayson was WELL CHUFFED at this point. Look at his FACE! Where there had been a look of confusion before, it was not replaced with a wide GRIN. It was almost as if someone told him that he was being crowned and would be getting as many ham and cheese sandwiches as he wanted. MAN. Please don't bring the snap cup back, Prof. Leave it where it was and they wouldn't have any more snaps. Everybody wins.

And her question on scrying? "The crystal ball is the most popular way of scrying, I'd say. But scrying's dead difficult. Need a Inner Eye for it and whatnot." Was this lesson gonna be a dud?

The magical book? He paid no attention to it. What he DID pay attention to was the fact that Professor Cassie had called Lex a peasant. Er. Rude. Come on, Professor, pick on someone less cool, please.

griffin · 10-25-2014, 01:50 AM

SPOILER!!: Lex

So it was the book. There was nothing that could be done to stop it now. She would have to ask Mr. Kitridge about the book if it was from the restricted section. What was she supposed to say to him? Excuse me Mr. Kitridge, have you lost any dangerous fairytale books? Had the librarian even noticed that the book was gone? She would have to think about that later.

What of it? "I'm not going to go looking for the book if that's what you're thinking, Lex." Not yet, anyway. She was a Ravenclaw, and she wasn't stupid enough to try to find a book that was known to possess people, at least not until she knew what she was up against, and not unless she had adequate help. If she wasn't careful, she could end up as a fairytale character. Some people didn't believe that the book was possessing people, so she would have to carefully choose who she spoke to.

Professor Cassie broke the snap cup. NO! Not the snap cup! To her, the snap cup represented everything good and all of Professor Cassie's positive energy, as well as all of the positive things that went in the cup. Her happiness was crushed with the cup. Penelope got up and cautiously went over to where the snap cup had fallen. She picked up the broken cup and began to collect all of the bits of parchment that had been in the cup. The professor had asked a question about scrying, but she didn't feel like answering the question right now. Her eyes teared up as she picked up the broken cup and pieces of parchment. Why did Professor Cassie have do be possessed by a mean character in the book, and not a nicer person. Or better yet, Professor Cassie could have been herself for this lesson. It would have been better if Cassie was herself with her usual positive vibes. Yet here she was, picking up all that remained of those positive vibes, not knowing what this new queen might do to them. She hoped that Cassie would wake up before something terrible happened.

Bazinga · 10-25-2014, 03:22 AM

They were going to tell her about these mirrors and they were going to tell her soon, but if they wouldn't how would she get it out of them. Her mind was trying to figure out a plan when she noticed plans on a desk. Was this from that professor they kept talking about. She noticed the word Scrying, yes this had to be what they were talking about. It all looked to be there, but the hearts and bubbly words. Ugh she couldn't even stomach to look at it. Her eyes moved back to the subjects in front of her.

Angel looked at the Professor again and raised her hand, maybe she could lie. "It's just a normal mirror, you look into it and see a reflection and then you make alteration to your appearance if you don't like how you look." Angel gave the best angelic smile she could.

"Why would I care if you are writing stuff down. This is not a class, I will not teach you." They would be doing her work not her doing theirs. Silly child. In a very harsh tone she rounded on the girl, "It is not a normal mirror. These are magical mirrors and someone will be telling me how they work. Mine is missing and I need to know if Snow White is gone yet." She had to be the fairest of them all.

He started to speak, but then she continued and asked about scrying. How could a divinations professor not know about scrying? It was all Hooksteed again. Ian thought about leaving when the professor picked up the snapcup and got angry about it. He watched in abject horror as she dropped the cup and it shattered on the floor. He cried out, Nooooooo! as the little pieces of the cup rested on the ground. His sweet, happy professor was gone to be replaced by this horrid, horrid person. Ian crossed his hands in front of him and put on his unhappy face.

Hearing cries of No the queen turned her attention to the boy. "Do you have an issue with your queen?" Her eyes glancing to the mess on the floor. "Are you crying over that ridiculous thing with those words? Did you write those words that were in it?" Did he think this was a funny joke against his queen? She looked at everyone, "I will not tolerate disrespect in my kingdom. Disrespect will get you sent straight to the dungeons." Where were her guards?

Unless you added Airey to the equation, Lex would stick with Bunz...unless certain circumstances came up in which case she'd convince Airey to side with Bunz too for his own good.

Just saying.

LOL haha what just happened. She BROKE the snap cup?? The nonchalance faded and Lex found herself trying to stifle the laughter that was bubbling in her chest. This was TOO funny. Hahahahahaha could she be here when the Professor woke up? HAHA.

Not being able to fully remove the amused look she attempted an answer. "Nothing. We know nothing about scrying." Not true but how would she know?

This girl was making her furious and the Queen slammed her hands down on the table in front of her. "SILENCE" She would not tolerate such nonsense. "This is my kingdom, those are my dungeons, and you will be seeing them very soon if you do not start showing your queen respect." Glaring straight at her at a very close range, this girl will behave or she would have her heart for her next prize. Taking a glance at her apple that she had brought with it, it might be worth using on her. She could find a new one for Snow White.

He didn't much feel like playing along anymore, this weird thing that was going around was getting old. For him the fun of adventure and weirdness had worn off with Botros and his Sebastian searching, there was only so much weird he could handle, he actually kinda LIKED learning things.

As for the whole scrying things... well they hadn't really been TAUGHT anything about it. Cept with the crystal ball stuff, and that was only LET YOUR MIND GO AND LET IT SEEE... there was no method to the madness as far as he was concerned. Still, perhaps he could enlighten this, weird queen lady of SOMETHING that might have to do with the topic.

Raising his hand before speaking, Zeke attempted to ignore the crazy and just try to get to the lesson bit. "You need to stop thinking, and just... be." Or something. Yeah. Yeah. And preferably be less weird and insane and WHAT WAS EVEN GOING ON AT THIS SCHOOL?! He'd had enough of the whole dress ups thing after History of Magic, this was just getting, lame.

Hearing a younger boy the queen turned her attention for a moment from the girl and moved towards the mirror looking into it. "Stop thinking and just be?" She wasn't sure what he meant but she took a deep breath and tried to stop thinking and clear her mind. Though something kept trying to push out, something happy, and the queen pushed it away again.

Clean them, was this girl being serious? "Well these look cleaned already so I think that step has passed." If she was trying to be funny the queen would soon get the last laugh, she didn't deal with jokes.

"Now see finally a loyal subject with some brains. You can see into the future with these mirrors. Interesting." They might be better then her magic mirror. That magic mirror was getting on her nervous with the Snow White is the fairest of them all. Some days she really wanted to just break it. "What are the magic words to get it to work?" There were always magic words. Her eyes flickered toward the child with her next comment. "There are no crystal balls here, so that can not be the correct answer. Focus on these mirrors."

"Gazing into translucent stuff. Intersting, so mirror could be used for Scrying." She focused back on the mirror. This had to be a clue on how to get this mirror to work. Yes, it would have to be.

"I said? I SAID?? I have never said anything about any of this. Your queen does not do go around saying to clear your mind or concentrate on sorcery." That was just stupid, if her subjects knew sorcery she would be in more danger and her power over her castle would not hold any longer.

No this one, this one was smart. "Finally one that knows how to adress me." It was about time too. "See or peeping?" She nodded and searched in the mirror. It was hard to focus and clear her mind with all this chatting and annoying voices of the peasants, but they were there to help her so she would force them silent after she was through.

Was this a castle worker coming to clean up the messes? She only gave the girl a bit of attention as she went to clean up that silly cup. Ridiculous how many of them were so upset over a cup. She didn't pay anymore attention and went back to the mirrors.

"Well if it shows the future there should be magic words. My magic mirror is very simple." She glanced back at that mirror, "Mirror Mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?" She waited for the face in the mirror to form, but nothing happened. UGH, they had different magic, but how were they getting it. This was not good. She was not going to let any of them out of this room. Not with this hidden magic.

Turning back to the class she was going to have to get them to show her what they knew. Yes that was exactly what was going to have to happen. "Get up. All of you get up right now. Find a mirror. You will show me how these work." They better show her if they knew what was good for them.

Looking back to a few that did say about this Scrying she figured they would be the best to get some more knowledge out of. "Now this Scrying with Crystal Balls, do you think it can be used on mirrors? If so how could you do it?" Yes she would pretend to ask questions like she didn't know and cared for their thoughts. This was how she would get them to show her.

Eden glared at the so-not-Professor-Morgan. She would NOT go to the dungeons and she was NOT going to move a LIMB for this woman. NOPE. Breaking the snap cup..that...was the last straw. Eden wanted to throw a book at her or something. Was that a little violent? Maybe? Merlin, the brunette was having some VIOLENT tendencies lately, pfft.

When she ordered them all to stand up, Eden remained VERY seated and crossed her arms over her chest, still glaring at her. She didn't even grace this impostor with a RESPONSE. "Bring back Professor Morgan and MAYBE we'll HELP you!" she said suddenly, a growl following her words.

Woooow.

Eden DID have a mean side, apparently, and while normally she was so mild-mannered, she couldn't help but feel ANGRY at this Evil Queen. "You're not even being very Evil--" she goaded, just trying to make her mad. "We're a bunch of children, and you've done nothing but yell at us thus far. Some EVIL that is--" she snorted and rolled her eyes. "I personally refuse to answer anymore questions or help you one bit." Mouthy, she was, right now.

This time Alexa simply gave an indifferent shrug in response to the Professor's...er...what was it anyway? A threat? A suggestion? Meh. "Believe what you want I guess but I won't serve you." It wasn't just a matter of the fact this was all a ridiculous fairytale mishap that could have ended if the Headmistress had listened to her, it was also the fact the Gryffindor did NOT serve.

"I don't suppose you actually know where the Dungeons are?" If she didn't even know how the mirrors got here she doubted she know the difference between the Astro tower and Dungeon Five so...

Lex turned the the little Ravenclaw who was coming to her senses. "That's the ticket. No need to go messing with it when you know it's nothing but trouble. When the Headmistress is willing to admit it's a problem then I'm sure she'll step up to fix it. Until then stay away from that thing unless you want your own adventure you won't even remember." Quite the rip off too. What good was getting in trouble and being horrid to people if you couldn't even remember?

And now orders were being barked. She raised her hand. "If we said we didn't know about scrying how will we be able to show you things?" She didn't know about anyone else but she'd said she was clueless. Had the 'Queen' not taken that into consideration?

Penelope seemed to have gone mostly unnoticed, which was exactly what she wanted right now. No need to anger possessed professors. At least this one wasn't trying to throw people out the window. She pocketed the bits of parchment from the snap. Taking the broken cup with her, Penelope silently made her way to the edge of the room. Nestling in between two mirrors, she sat on the floor with the snap cup in front of her. Her wand was pointed at the broken cup. The Ravenclaw girl was doing the best she could to fix it. "Reparo."

More questions on scurrying were being asked, but she wasn't ready to voice an answer. She did not speak, but she thought about the question. Was scrying with mirrors similar to scrying with crystal balls, but with a mirror instead of a crystal ball?

WhittyBitty · 10-25-2014, 05:33 AM

This lesson was making Lux sad.

She identified with Professor Cassie, because she saw a kindred spirit in her; they were both warm, light hearted and friendly people who preferred to see the best in others. Now she was a mean witch who was being rude and had disrespected the snap cup. It was nice to see that a younger girl had repaired it because Professor Cassie would not like her cup damaged when it was a feature in every lesson she taught.

Stand in front of a mirror and show her how to scry? Lux could remember how to see through the crystal ball, but the images had always managed to elude her. Now she was expected to do this in front of a mirror with a crazy Professor? That was laughable. Remaining in her seat, she said, You are mean, and ordering people around won't get them to tell you how to scry."

He broke her. He really did break her. Never taking another potion ever again, even for homework. This was terrible. Professor Morgan was completely off her rocker and it was all 'cause of the stupid things that he said that he couldn't even remember!! What was a guy supposed to do around here!? Hadn't he explain himself well enough??? She sounded like she forgave him. But clearly not.

So instead of replying at all, he just stared. Stared with confused eyes. What. If that's not what scrying was about then how come she kept telling him to clear his mind last time. This was so confusing. Even more confusing than the first time around.

And that's when she told them to use the mirrors. But he didn't know how. So standing up, the Gryffindor continued to give her that weird, confused expression. "... Aren't you going to teach us how, Professor?" 'Cause if he was wrong about the scrying all along then he definitely couldn't figure out how to do it now. Not to mention the fact that he totally missed it the first time the had the class and he couldn't even get the homework right. So what was he supposed to do... Just stare at the reflection?

ALSO, how was he supposed to make things right again? Save Professor Morgan from her insanity that HE caused?!

Slowly, and somewhat hesitantly, Toby got up out of his seat. He wasn't about to disobey, not after what he remembered about how Airey had tried to skewer him on his hook when he wasn't in his right mind. He headed over to a mirror and looked into it, right at his apprehensive looking reflection.

Toby stared for a moment, looking right at the mirror version of himself as though he'd never seen a reflection before. It was strange, because the Toby in the mirror wasn't smiling, so it felt almost like that wasn't him at all. But it was, and he knew it.

Straightening out his face to a more neutral expression, Toby looked at the Queen!Professor in the reflection of the mirror, and bit his lip again. He didn't want to antagonise, not like with Hook, but remaining quiet was getting more difficult.

His mind half on the fairy tale stuff and half on the topic of scrying, Toby mumbled an absentminded "Probably..." to the first half of the professors question (and more to himself than the class or Queen) and carried on just... watching.

... Toby may also have glanced at the exit a few times. Just in case he needed a quick getaway.

Hera · 10-25-2014, 08:15 AM

Okay, it was offical... this was going to be a completely USELESS lesson.

Professor Cassie, or QUEEN, or whatever... had NO IDEA what she was doing, and was ASKING for things because she clearly didn't know herself.

Stupid.

STUPID.

Zeke had questions of his own. He wanted, no, NEEDED answers... not more questions.

Pouting a little, Zeke stood as instructed and found himself a mirror, but he had nothing to offer by way of the Queen's question. He was here to learn, not to teach. He was not a teacher!!!!!!!

....

Sigh.

Angel looked at the Professor as she told them to get up and look at a mirror. "Professor all I know about mirrors is they help you sort out your appearance and help you put on you chocolate lip-gloss on properly." Okay so you didn't need a mirror for the last bit but that was about all she did know about mirrors.

"I've never heard of a Mirror doing anything else." Angel wasn't going to help the evil queen... she was totally missing the divination Professor could she please become her real self again.

Angel had to hide a giggle as a Ravenclaw girl said the queen wasn't so evil, saying that it was true she hadn't done anything bad to anyone and that made Angel more confident in doing bad things, normally she'd condone this sort of action but today she was with the head girl. "I have no idea what I am supposed to be showing you, maybe if you show us first then I can learn." Angel was being truthful there.

*Kolyander* · 10-25-2014, 11:41 AM

Hadleigh shifted in her seat slightly not sure what to do when the Queen Professor began to yell at them. Glancing around she realized some of them stood up as instructed but others hadn't. Chewing on the inside of her cheek the small girl got to her feet and walked to the closest mirror standing in front of it.

"Queen Professor... I haven't worked with using a mirror in the way you're asking of us before but if it's like the crystal ball you have to clear your mind of everything and just look into it. If you do it right you should be able to see something..." Hady answered honestly. She figured she'd speak up with what she knew and if she got in trouble for it then so be it. At least she was trying to be of some help to their 'Professor'.

MudInMyBlood · 10-25-2014, 01:21 PM

SPOILER!!: Hijacked professor :)

Did you hear that people? She had brains. Of course she didn't need to be told that, but it was still nice to hear. It was funny that the "queen" was relying on her answers so much considering this was not a strong subject for her. Why not have some fun, though? Mirrors, crystal balls... same difference. If they were here for Divination you could bet they were supposed to be used to see stuff.

"Well, you see, first you have to FULLY relax. We normally get that way by eating freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, and milk. Of course chocolate frogs get the job done as well." Whatever floated your boat. "Then we have to turn all the lights off and sleep off the cookies." Was she still with her? "Then we stare into the mirror with a clear mind and it will automatically show you what you are destined to see." Hehe. "Would you like me to go down to the kitchens and grab us the snacks?" If AJ was actually able to leave this class, she would NOT be coming back... just sayin!

FearlessLeader19 · 10-25-2014, 03:40 PM

Well duuuuh, Mean Queen. Mirrors were used for Scrying. Adi was torn apart about whether to go stand in front of a mirror or not. Besides, it didn't seem as if the woman knew anything about scrying with mirrors. Other than asking it who's the fairest of them all. Heh. If Professor Cassie was really here, she'd know what they had to do.

Now his mind was made up. Adi was just gonna sit here for now. Not going to make the Queen feel like they were going to listen to her that easily. And someone was fixing the Snap cup? Good.

Sararara · 10-25-2014, 03:56 PM

Norah sat staring at the front of the room and didn't budge from her seat. No, she didn't like this meanie queenie professor at all, and she was NOT going to follow her orders. Plus she didn't even know HOW this scrying thing worked. She had been lousy at it last time. Professor Morgan had been nice about it then, but something told her she wouldn't be this time.

And so she sat, still drumming her fingers on the table and pretending like she hadn't heard the "queen's" instructions at all. Served her right. Nobody's orders should be followed if they're said in a mean way. If the queen wanted them to do stuff she should say it respectfully, or at least that was what her mum always said. Noticing somebody had fixed the snap cup, she ceased her finger tapping for a moment to turn and smile at the Ravenclaw girl who had done it. Good for her, Norah wouldn't have wanted to see Professor Morgan's face when she was normal again if she saw it was broken.

SarcasticStrawberry · 10-25-2014, 09:10 PM

The book just disappeared out of her hand. She blinked a few times and that was it.....

_________________________________

Why was she sitting? Cinderella had so many chores to do. The same old stuff just a different day. She should really get up bad start. Whoa! Why was thee so many mirrors in this room? She was going to have to clean all of them.

Book? Was she talking to her? She didn't have her book.

She was right in the middle of getting up to start cleaning when she heard some thing break. Opps the queen, must have dropped her cup and broke it. The queens was about as clumsy as her step sisters. She hurried over to clean it up before her step mother got there to see what the noise was.

Edward Penguin · 10-25-2014, 09:15 PM

SPOILER!!: Professor No Cassie

Ian really, really wasn't liking this professor Cassie. She was mean and she didn't treat her students well and that wasn't the Professor Cassie he knew AND loved. Professor. I did write something on one of those slips, but not because of pride or any of that stuff, but because it was something you wanted us to do. You were my favorite professor, but now I don't know. You have changed. You're acting like.... he thought a minute and then continued Well...I don't know, but you don't make me feel all happy like you have before. You're being mean and if I have to go to the dungeon for saying so, I guess I'll be in the dungeon.

Then, she told them to go pick a mirror. He just sat in his seat. He wasn't going to do ANYTHING for this mean woman until the REAL Professor Cassie came back. This woman wasn't teaching, she was demanding and that didn't teach anyone. Even that horrid woman in Arithmancy had at least provided some instruction. Professor, why don't you start TEACHING and do less DEMANDING. This is a class, not a meeting of your underlings! Ian was hurt at how Professor Cassie was speaking to him and he responded in kind.

Expecto-Penguin · 10-25-2014, 09:18 PM

SPOILER!!: The Queen!

Kace smiled and was glad the Queen recognized him. He didn't think of him as smart, he just didn't want his head ripped off by her. He was just being polite is all. Seeing or Peeping? He gave her a quizzical look and thought they kind of both meant the same thing. But now she was ordering them to get up and find a mirror. He shrugged and got up from his seat and went to find a mirror in the back. He was supposed to tell her what he saw? Ermm...this was getting kind of ridiculous. How was he supposed to do this? Isn't this what the teacher was supposed to do. He starred at the mirror and nothing was happening. This was a huge waste of time.

Kace was looking for the Professor/Queen and asked, "Ermm what are we supposed to see? And I do not think scrying could be used with real mirrors like this.." he gestured towards it. "I think this is different than a crystal ball." He just being honest here.
