Divination Lesson One
 
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...psa6b8qwc7.jpg



Now that classes are back in full swing and you have gotten use to the every day routines, why not relax a bit on a Friday morning? As you enter the Divination Tower you will see the room looks like a banquet hall. Long tables are set up with Professor Morgan's desk at the very front. The tables have all kinds of vegetables, cheeses, fruits, and sodas, as well as milk and water.

There is music playing, but not the calm relaxing music you are use to when it comes to entering the classroom. This time it is fun and upbeat tunes. Professor Cassie is humming to the music happily at the front of the classroom. Of course she is wearing her comfy clothes, since it is comfy clothes Friday!

There is a note on the board;

Quote:

Welcome! Come in, have a seat, and grab a plate. Enjoy the food before class begins. Don't forget to place your proud moment in the snapcup as well.

.... How in the name of Merlin was he the first to arrive? Man, he had to stop doing this! It's like he enjoyed setting himself up for awkward situations or something. Geeeez. Couldn't these class notices come with a warning? Like attention Zander Adair, the first student will arrive at approximate this hour, so you should come at this time so you arrive only a few minutes before the lesson begins. Yeah, could they make this snap cup thing a suggestion box? 'Cause Zander had a voice that needed to be heard.

Someone had to stop this absurd punctuality of his. It wasn't even on purpose or anything. Merlin, couldn't a kid just walk to class without being the first one? What had become of these horrible times? This was incredibly disappointing.

Despite the fact that he was the first in the room, Zander did smile as he passed by Professor Morgan on his way to finding a place to sit. "Hello, Professor... I hope you had an enjoyable holiday?"

... Oh and proud moment?

SPOILER!!: he fails at these

I'm proud that I ONLY failed two OWLs. But I'm not proud that I showed up early to class. Why does that always happen to me?

Hera 05-10-2015 05:58 AM

Divination. He was good at it, so he wasn't about to drop the subject yet, but he wasn't sure how it was supposed to help him with LIFE and the AFTER SCHOOL and WORKING aka ruling the world thing. Still... here he was, cause, fun!

Zeke entered the tower, and very quickly wondered if he was in the WRONG tower. What the?

...

The third year stepped in and looked about, a hand resting on his bag that swung by his side - his books where in there. Both the textbook and a random book too, seeing as he wasn't 100% sure what to bring.

As for where to sit, he wasn't sure, so for the time being he stood, stared and started to make his way to the snap cup thing.

"Hello Professor Cassie," he greeted, noticing that she was humming along to the music. He was in the right place, of course he was.

SPOILER!!: snapcup

I'm a third year now.


That would do it... yep.

WhittyBitty 05-10-2015 06:16 AM

Divination was one of Lux's favourite classes so she was excited to be here. Even though it was morning, she was wide awake due to breakfast and some tea. Of course she would have some more during class, but there was no such thing as too much tea in her opinion.

Whoaa, the upbeat music was a nice change, but there was a moment where she wondered if she had entered the wrong tower?? Confused, she looked around and stepped inside the room. "Hello, Professor Cassie. Hello, Zander and Zeke." She gave them all smiles before heading over to a seat. On a piece of paper she wrote down her proud moment:

Quote:

I am proud that I did well on all my OWLs.
Into the cup it went and now it was time to enjoy the food. Yummy!!

nanyjj 05-10-2015 06:17 AM

YAY she was early. For a change. Leah walked into the Divination Tower and uh... what? The classroom looked like a dining hall. She was not even going to comment on this, as she knew what magic could do to a normal classroom. Also, if they were going to be eating, Merlin she had no problem with THAT.

She walked by the front of the room where Morgan was humming to the unusually exciting music. "Hi, Professor Morgan," the Hufflepuff smiled. She followed the instructions on the board and went ahead to look for a place to sit. But not before she slipped her proudest moment into the snapcup.

SPOILER!!: Leah's proudest moment
I survived my Fourth Year!
It was a big deal, okay?

When he first step onto the divination classroom, he was not suspecting this banquet dinner hall theme concept at all. Woah...is the professor getting married today and have a reception along the way? Hmm....he walked in and spotted Leah already seated at one of the tables.

"Hi Leah, is the seat taken?"Henric joked lightly. He took a seat across from her,whatt....he couldn't do that? He wanted to sit by his close friends...more like having a good vantage view of her pretty face

Quote:

My proudest moment is meeting new friends I never thought I could.
He smiled mainly to himself before slipping the paper into the snapcup.

VRSCIKA 05-10-2015 06:50 AM

Ilia walked into class , only a few people were here and the professor hadn't shown up yet. Looking around, she saw a few familiar people and walked toward them instinctively. One was the girl that she had met in Diagon Alley (Leah) and the other was her good friend Henric, who she silently sat beside with a small smile. Reading the notice , she had to pause and think a moment. What was she proud of? .........

Quote:

I am proud that I have made friends here in my new school.
She was particularly happy about the one that she sat down next to. She placed the paper in the cup as the instructions had said to do and sat quietly with her hands in her lap. She wanted to talk to Henric , but he seemed to be talking to Leah and she didn't want to interrupt. So, she started taking in the scenery instead.

Sararara 05-10-2015 07:04 AM

Norah beamed at Professor Cassie as she walkednotskipped into the Divination classroom, coming to a halt in front of her and saying, "Hellloooo professor!" in her most chipper-est of chipper voices. Didja see that Professor Cassie? She was being happy JUST for you. It wasn't fair to walk into the happiest class of all the classes and not be happy, even if there were mopey things hanging around for no apparent reason. The mopes had no right to be in Divination so this fourth year wasn't gonna let 'em. So HAPPY HAPPY smiles as picked up a quill and wrote her thingy mabob for the snap cup, as usual.
SPOILER!!: snap cup
I'm proud that I brushed my hair this morning even though I didn't want to


She took a seat across from Zander 'cause he was the first person she saw AND it was much easier to be happy when she wasn't alone. Watching him, she slowly unpacked her note taking stuff and put her biggest smile on 'cause happy happy happy remember? 'Cept she didn't really feel like saying anything. What if something mopey came out and everybody found out she was mopey? That'd be a DISASTER. Real teenagers probably didn't have sads for no apparent reason, which mean this was all wrong and a SECRET. So there she sat, grinning at Zander until her cheeks felt like they were going to fall off. Nothing to see here...

Samia 05-10-2015 10:18 AM

Divination was one of those classes Noel ENJOYED taking because it was just fun in general. He didn't had to do much and he could get by. It was indeed relaxing.
Moving lightly to the upbeat music, Noel walked to the snap cup thing - where Professor Cassie was standing as well. "Hellooo Professor!" he greeted her before picking up a parchment to write. He never really wrote anything significant in but he enjoyed the act anyhow.

Pulling out a quill, he quickly wrote:

SPOILER!!: AHH
I finally woke up on time today.


Dropping it in, Noel turned and saw Leah. And look HENRIC was there too. Sliding into a seat beside her, Noel smiled at them both. "And how are my puffs doing this morning?" he asked, and grabbed a plate and then stared - WAIT. was this all just healthy stuff???

Saz Hale 05-10-2015 10:30 AM

Abby had just climbed the ladder and entered the classroom and said "Good morning professor Morgan" Abby grabbed a plate of food even if it was healthy it was good for her and ohh snapcup
Quote:

Meeting my boyfriend Tyler
Abby did class that as her proudest moment and it was important to her

Weasley174 05-10-2015 10:50 AM

Angel walked into the classroom and smiled as she saw the Professor. "Hi Professor." Angel thought that it was cool being back at Hogwarts. "Did you have a great Summer?" Angel hoped that the Professor had, she then went over and wrote something down to put in the snap cup.

Quote:

I'm proud that I can draw so well
Angel then went and sat down at a desk and waited for the lesson to start, she seriously couldn't wait for the first Divination Lesson.

Kolyander 05-10-2015 11:17 AM

Up, up, up to the tower for Divination is where Hady was headed this morning. She was ready for this lesson and had been looking forward to it. The past two terms had passed by smoothie showing her that she actually wasn't all that bad at the subject.

As she arrived this morning her eyes took in a sight that she wasn't expecting and for a moment she was confused. What exactly was going on in here? Blinking just once she continued forward and gave a small nod of her head to her fellow mates that were already seated. "Morning Professor," Hady greeted softly as she passed towards the snap cup. Pulling a quill from her bag and a piece of parchment she quickly jotted down a moment and folded the parchment setting it into the cup and replacing the quill to her bag.

SPOILER!!: Snap Cup
I'm proud that no matter how tough things can get I can usual keep a level head and don't panic.


Usually. Mhmm she'd said usually.

Now to find a seat...Quickly glancing around she spotted Zeke just standing there. Was the boy alright? He looked confused. Walking over to him she gave him a small nudge with her hand and lightly grabbed his wrist. "Come on, sit near me today?" She whispered gently tugging him towards the nearest table and having a seat, setting her bag down at her feet.

Jessiqua 05-10-2015 11:37 AM

Zhenya was usually a morning person, but she had stayed awake so late last night trying to figure out a paragraph from her ancient runes text. She just couldn't process it or understand it no matter what way she tried to look at it. So she stayed awake far too late worrying about it. She yawned a big yawn as she entered the Divination classroom, half expecting comfy chairs and tea, but almost did a double take to make sure she was in the right room. A banquet? Cool!

She had worn her school shirt and cardigan, as they were super soft and comfortable, but she had worn some super comfortable pants and shoes. She wasn't sure how informal comfy they were supposed to go, but she felt like she was still in her pyjamas when she arrived. That was a good sign, surely! She felt herself wake up to the music, and was quite glad it wasn't the relaxing music that is usually on. Perhaps she would have fallen asleep, otherwise? She smiled as she entered, and said "Good morning Professor Cassie. I hope you had a lovely summer." She thought there was something different… but she wasn't sure if it was just the change of scenery. "Have you had your hair cut?" It was one of those things, Zhenya thought it looked different, but it could be her mind playing silly tricks.

She placed her moment in the snap cup.

Quote:

I am proud I have made it to Seventh year without a detention, or losing points.
She grabbed a plate, sat at her table, and pulled out the soda she had managed to obtain from the kitchen. She had no idea what it tasted like, but had chosen it at random. She wasn't familiar with her soda varieties.

Hera 05-10-2015 12:11 PM

The room was quiet, and virtually empty as he was the second student there... but that changed very quickly, and soon the voice of Lux snapped him from his thoughts. "H-heeeyy," he greeted, returning the smile.

He was still standing there when Hady arrived.


SPOILER!!: Hady

He watched as she wrote her proud moment thing, and was pleased when she came over and gave him a nudge. "Yes ma'am," he said, perfectly content with not deciding the seating arrangements of the lesson. He followed along without complaint and slipped into the chair beside her, shoving his bag beneath the table at his feet. "Any idea what this is about?" he asked, wondering what they were supposed to be doing. If he'd have known that they would be eating then he wouldn't have bothered before hand. Of course, come to think of it, the notice DID say something about food, didn't it? And... soda?

RandomRaven 05-10-2015 12:23 PM

Glad that he didn't get lost on his way to the classroom. Sometimes he needed to take time wandering around the castle and memorizing the important places like the classrooms and everything else. Arriving at the classroom, the Korean guy just blink. Uh, was he lost? Nope, but well... It seemed like he entered a banquet hall instead of a classroom. Okay, this was the classroom.

He noticed the Professor was already there too. Smiling, he introduced himself to her. "Good day, Professor. I'm Jackson Hwang, fifth year transfer from Seoul." He said (still with his Korean accent) and slightly bowed. Following the other students he wrote a thing and put it on a snap cup.

Quote:

So far I'm proud that my English is getting fluent and.. Oh! I make some friends here.
Then Jackson just randomly took a seat at the middle row.

GoldenSnake 05-10-2015 12:54 PM

GOOD MORNING FRIDAAAAY.

The Lioness was in a good mood when she skipped into the Divination classroom. With the sunlight pouring in and the air so fresh..ahhh, why couldn't days be like this everyday?

When Natalia walked in, she had noticed the banquet-like set up of the room: long tables, chairs, plates...and FOOD!

Even before reading the instructions on the board, Natalia grabbed a plate and filled it up with delicious-looking treats immediately. She'd never, ever miss a free food opportunity.

While holding her food-filled plate, Natalia beamed friendly at the professor. "Professor, thanks for the food!" Because teachers who offered food in class were always the best. Always. See, if you treat Natalia good, she'd treat you well back! Easy.

Now time to actually follow the instructions on the board. Proud moment? Just any proud moment? Ehh...

SPOILER!!: Snap Cut

Ma'am? Well wasn't he the polite gentleman this morning. Hady laughed quietly grinning at him. That boy just never seemed to amaze her. He was so easy going and everything was just more fun when they were side by side. "No idea, the notice just said comfy clothes, a book and your favorite soda..." She whispered in reply shrugging her shoulders as she looked from Zeke to the nicely laid out tables. Really what was this all about? It sorta looked like a dinner party or something.

JustAlice 05-10-2015 01:22 PM

DIVINATION DIVINATION DIVINATION!!!

This was the class Rusty had been MOST excited about since she'd heard about the whole magic school thing, and she was DETERMINED to be REALLY REALLY good at it!

So she practically FLOATED into the classroom, a huge excited smile on her face. She was wearing her tiger's eye charm on her bracelet - the one her grammy said helped with divining things - and clutching her textbook to her chest tightly.

"Hi Professor! My name's Rusty, it's lovely to meet you!" She gave the professor a HUGE smile, then went towards the banquet tables. Look at all these lovely vegetables, this was her kind of feast. All she had to do was avoid the cheese and stuff. She nibbled on a bit of carrot and looked at the board.

Hm... Proud moment. Rusty thought about it for a second, then scribbled something on a bit of parchment and dropped it in the cup.

FearlessLeader19 05-10-2015 02:29 PM

Had had never been so pumped for a Divination lesson. Ever since he had passed his OWL for this subject, he saw it in a different light. He happily shuffled into the room to come face to face with... FOOD! Eeep! Wasn't Professor Cassie just THE BEST!

Speaking of her... "Hello, Professor! It's great to see you again. Did you know I passes Divination OWL?" Cassie must be SO pleased and relieved that he did her proud. "Thank you for the food, by the way. You're awesome!'' The sixth year grabbed a soda, stuck some cheese on a plate and headed to find himself a seat (after dropping off his proud moment in the snap cup). He threw Henric a smirk because he had worked up the courage to sit close to Leah, grinned at Leah, Zeke, Nats, Abby and a few other before flopping down next to Zhenya.

"Heeeey, Zhenya! Cheese?'' he asked, offering the plate to his friend.

SPOILER!!: PROUDNESS!
I am proud of my self for passing all of my OWLs.

Stefan 05-10-2015 02:53 PM

Divination Time!

To be honest, he quite enjoyed the class, and that was enough motivation for him to attend Professor Cassie’s lesson despite having the option to drop it for his Sixth year. Ethan expected to see the classroom in its usual state—low lights, lavender scented air, plush pillows, and what have you, but rather...he was welcomed by an upbeat music...and FOOD. Ethan pushed his way further into the classroom and greeted the blonde professor up front. “Good day, Professor Cassie! Nice...setup you’ve got here.” BEAM. Merlin...Hogwartians are indeed food driven, yeah?

Ethan made a beeline for the long table and gathered healthy food on his plate. How awesome was that, yeah? There he was, working out like mad to get a good healthy physique, and the professors, particularly Professor Cassie and Maddox had incorporated healthy stuff into their lessons. Ethan was definitely winning at life. Mhmm.

Oh and snapcup!

Getting a piece of parchment from the table, he scribbled down his proud moment: I’m proud about passing all of my OWL exams with flying colours.

SPOILER!!: JACKSON!

Then Jackson just randomly took a seat at the middle row.



He got up again from his chair and placed his parchment inside the snapcup. The moment he turned, he saw someone who didn't look familiar at all...and was alone. Ethan gathered his things and plate from his former spot and sat beside the new kid. Ethan gave the guy a friendly wave and grin, and introduced himself. “I haven’t seen you around before. You must be new. I’m Ethan.” He said and pushed his plate towards the new kid. “Want some?” The food was...for free, did he know?

The Korean boy just sat there and looked at the food that the Professor had served. He wasn't really hungry but maybe he's gonna grabbed some for snack? Maybe later. Then he noticed an older student took a seat beside him. Somebody from Slytherin. Well, he didn't want to judge but as his brother said that some students from Slytherin weren't that friendly. But this one seemed... okay. Hehehe.

"Yeah, I'm uh... transfer student. I'm Jackson, and it's nice to meet you." He smiled and shook his hand. "Thanks, I was gonna grab some... You want some drink, maybe?" He offered. Then he stood up taking some veggies and milk for himself.

PhoenixRising 05-10-2015 05:52 PM

Divination time! Even though Tia might not have been fond of the subject herself, she LOVED Professor Morgan's enthusiasm. Definitely made it worth it to attempt the subject. Not to mention she got to wear comfy clothes for today's lesson, which made it even more exciting to attend today.

On top of the comfy clothes, there was FOOD too?!? Couldn't the professor had given them a heads up because she totally just ate, but perhaps some fruit would be alright. Scooping some onto her plate, the fifth year hummed as she made her way over towards a seat to wait - munch on her fruit, as she considered her proud moment at this time. Once something to came mind, she scribbled it down and slipped it into the snapcup.

SPOILER!!: snapcup =)
I'm proud of being in Divination today cause I get to wear comfortable clothes AND eat fruit!

griffin 05-10-2015 06:15 PM

Divination! Penelope was really excited for this lesson. Professor Cassie was her favorite professor in the whole school, and Professor Cassie's lessons were always fun. "Professor Cassie!" Penelope was doing happy snaps. This was going to be a great lesson! Oooh, there was food! "Hi Angel!" Sitting down by her Gryffindor friend, Penelope got out a bit of parchment to write her snap cup proud moment. Now for food. Penelope grabbed a plate and went to go get some snacks. After putting food on her plate, Penelope made her way back to her seat to eat and wait for the lesson to start.

SPOILER!!: proud moment
I ran a pet rock adoption fair with Professor Flamsteed at the start of term feast.

Expecto-Penguin 05-10-2015 06:38 PM

Divination Time.

Kace was quite excited for this class. I mean he loved the Professor first of all and once he read he could take some food when he stepped into the classroom. Aahhh his prayers were answered. "Dont mind if I do teach.." he said and took a plate and filled it. I mean no shame there right? He had a huge appetite for good food. He was surprised he wasn't fat yet. Anywho as he got his plate quite full he needed a place to sit. He found a seat near the side and he forgot a drink. He got up yet again and got his favorite soda and sat down.


Oh right he needed to fill out his proud moment slip. He thought about it and once he did, he got out his quill and began to scribble....

Quote:

I am proud that I reached my final year of Hogwarts

There that looked good. He placed it into the SNAP cup and then began to eat his delicious food. He never realized how hungry he was.

Felixir 05-10-2015 08:14 PM

Friday the 13th. SpooOOOoOOOooooOOOooky.

Toby didn't necessarily believe in unlucky days, nope, too negative. BUT it was pretty cool from a wizarding perspective 'cause of the magic thing, see? Yes. Anyway, that was his positive take on the date, because of course he WOULD have one.

Before heading to his seat, the comfy-clothes-wearing Tobias went ahead and dropped a pre-written proud moment into the snap cup. He turned to Professor Cassie and gave her a salute in a most enthusiastic manner.

"Good morning, Professor!" he said, offering her a big happy grin. "You seem happy today." He gave her some SNAPS. Snaps for you, professor. "Bludger and Curtis both say hi!" Okay, so they hadn't SAID anything. Toby was just translated. He could do that, y'know.

He didn't want to crowd up the front of the room, so moseyed off to a table. Once settled, he looked at the things laid out, and instantly reached for a soda. Sooooooodaaaaaaa.

SPOILER!!: proud moment
I am proud of my baby brother! I don't think there's any one moment I'm most proud of, I'm just proud of him.

carpediem 05-10-2015 09:14 PM

Ophelia tired not to audibly sigh as she walked into the Divination classroom. Needless to say, this wasn't her favorite class. The third year would rather be doing ANYTHING outdoors than reading teacup fortunes or learning about the stars or whatever. The thirteen year old was mover and a shaker, not someone who sat and tried to look into the future. Not to mention the fact that the blonde always had trouble in this class. That didn't help.

Scribbling down a proud moment, Ophelia placed it in the snapcup before sitting down at her desk and waiting for class to start. Please be an interesting class.

SPOILER!!: proud moment from Ophelia
My drawings, which always look pretty cool and make my friend happy.


At least it was Friday the 13th. That might shake things up a little bit. In fact, Ophelia wondered if this was actually going to be an interesting lesson and not just the usual. Hopefully. Come on, don't waste the date, she thought to the Professor. This was a big moment. A biiiiig moment. Bigger than when Ophelia first realized how to get pictures out of her camera.

Speaking of which, she missed the little guy. The third year caught herself several times trying to hold up her hands to catch something she thought was interesting, though there was nothing clutched in her hands. It became disappointing after the third time, and after the forth, she managed to stop. For now.

hermionesclone 05-10-2015 10:06 PM

It was still too freaking early. Grayson HATED waking up so early for classes and had practically had to drag himself out of bed just so that he can get here on time. A hard feat to do, really, considering how far away this classroom was from his dorms. Jeez, climbing those stairs was like doing a workout for a decade.

But the Slytherin finally entered the classroom, not at all surprised to find the snapcup right there. Ugh! Hadn't someone burnt this thing already? They should. Because--

YOOOOOOOOOO! Was that FOOD?! Now THAT was something he was excited to see. The boy quickly scribbled down something on a piece of parchment before dropping it into the snapcup.

Text Cut: proud moment
I'm proud of myself for looking so freaking fantastic in such a short space of time


Alright food, we're coming for you, man. "'Sup, Professor Cassie," the seventh year called as he practically zoomed his way towards a long table and helped himself to, well, everything. He was kinda sad that there wasn't anything meaty here -- what if he wanted bacon? -- but quickly let go of that once he got his fizzy drink and took a seat, munching away on the food on his plate.

This was the life, man.

kayquilz 05-10-2015 11:19 PM

DIVINATION! Eden was SO EXCITED FOR DIVINATION. She practically ran here from her common room--it was why she was slightly out of breath and her cheeks were tinged a light pink as she stepped into the classroom.

WAIT.

WAIT.

HOLD ON.

THERE WAS FOOD? THERE WAS FLIPPIN' FOOD.

Eden was the happiest seventeen-year-old IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE right now. She didn't wait to grab a plate and have a seat, BEAMING at Professor Morgan as she did so. No shame. Eden McGee had NO SHAME when it came to FOOD. "HOWDY PROFESSOR!" Howdy? HOWDY? Had she EVER said HOWDY before?!?! NO. BUT APPARENTLY SHE WAS SAYING IT TODAY.

She needed to write her snap cup thingy first, though--before devouring anything--so she DID.

SPOILER!!: SNAP CUP

Divination. Did she really have to say more? It was one of her favorite classes with one of her favorite professors. Yeah, she wasn't going to lie she had her favorites. Everyone did right? She bounced into class, which was weird for her. Maybe she shouldn't have have taken some of Emmy's candy this morning. Shh! Emmy doesn't know.

Lalala. She headed up the trap to door. Still bouncy and stuff this was weird. No more candy for her ever again. Okay not really. It was a good thing she had on her comfy clothes after class she was going to go run some of this energy off .... And food she smelled food. Yep now she was going to have to run off the food too.

Soda can in hand she was faced with a different set up than what she was used too. And the snap cup. She couldn't forget about the snap cup. She was doing this now. Yep. That way she could just go to her seat and not have to get up again. Although she might be too hyper to sit down for long. Proud moment of the day? Mmmm



SPOILER!!: snappy snappy snap cup


I'm proud that I didn't take more of Emmys candy.



She dropped her paper in the snap cup. "Goood morning, professor Cassie!" She bouncing a bit. She should really control herself a bit more. No more of that candy of Emmy's no wonder why her friend was always so hyper. She was always eating that candy. Bouncing on she found herself a seat and flopped down in it. Of course she grabbed a plate.

Anyone can grab him :)
 
Tyler climbed up the tower and entered the classroom and was stunned by what he saw, were they going to have a fancy dinner or something? Seems so by the tables that were set out and how there was food on the tables. Did those bits of food have something to do with the class? he wondered what if they did. So he gave the professor his bestest smile "Hi Professor, Im Tyler, nice to meet ya" he greeted her before sitting down and seeing they had something to do before class had even started. His proudest moment? Nothing came close to the day when he got his letter, come on! who does not want to go to a school to learn magic!! So he decided to put that down.

Text Cut: Proud moment
Getting my Hogwarts Letter


There he had written it down, meaning that it was true and no other moment made him prouder. He again wondered what all this had to with the class. But he knew that the professor knew what she was doing, so he waited, silently.

Oh Emmy knows Cinna. She doesn't miss a trick.
 
EEEEEEPPPPPPPP!
How do people not love Divinations? It was the best and most fun class at Hogwarts. Emmylou walked into the classroom and took a seat next to Cinna. While Emmylou was getting her things together for class she noticed that some of her candy was missing. She always had it in her top secret hiding place but some of it was gone.

Emmylou wrote down on the snaps.

Quote:

I know Cinna stole my candy but she doesn't know that I know. But she will soon.
The blonde looked over to her best friend/sister/cousin/Bart's girlfriend, Emmylou gave her a 'I know you stole my candy' look to her.

Marsha wasn’t really sure what to expect in Divinations. She had been through hurdles in Charms and had a heart attack and a jazzy singing professor in Astronomy - so what that meant for Divinations she had no idea…. but she was very excited to find out.

Moving into the classroom … which looked nothing like a classroom … Marsha smiled at the Professor. She had only seen her around the Great Hall,so she didn’t really know much about her. So on top of her smile, she gave the pretty blonde (who looked kinda like her Mam) a nice little wave. Hiii. She thought as she moved over to sit next to Rusty. At least with these tables, Evie and the boys could join them too and they would still have space to meet new students. Hehehe.

SPOILER!!: Snappy Cup
Quote:

I’m super proud of being sorted into Gryffindor!


”Woah,” Marsha said as she put the paper in the cup and looked at the spread. ”Suddenly I’m really happy I decided to skip breakfast and sleep a little longer.” Best decision ever for a Friday morning… AND she got to be comfy in her jeans and t-shirt. Hehehe. So far, she was loving this Professor just as much as Professor Airey… whatever her name was.

Whoops.

Food? FOOOD! Hayden was digging the music as she made her way up to Divination. She was even more excited when she got there and saw the room filled with food. FREE FOOD IN CLASS! It was like a dream come true. She went to the snap cup first, because if she went to the food first she would never get up from the table. What was she proud of? Hayden paused to think for a moment before writing.

SPOILER!!: paper
I am proud that I have been a very good mother to my new cat so far.


When that was taken care of, she turned to see professor Cassie. "Hello," she said cheerfully. "How are your kitties?" They were so adorable. Maybe Hallie would like them. They could totally schedule a kitty playdate! Help, her heart hurt from the thought of how could that would be.

FOOD! Finally she was able to go sit at a table. Hayden chose a spot by Leah, and not far from Norah. She, very politely, selected some crackers and cheese for herself. And poured herself a nice glass of milk of course. Then she turned to her friend sitting next to her. "Hi Norah," she said cheerfully. And it was time to EAT!

Yeah, could they make this snap cup thing a suggestion box? 'Cause Zander had a voice that needed to be heard.

Someone had to stop this absurd punctuality of his. It wasn't even on purpose or anything. Merlin, couldn't a kid just walk to class without being the first one? What had become of these horrible times? This was incredibly disappointing.

Despite the fact that he was the first in the room, Zander did smile as he passed by Professor Morgan on his way to finding a place to sit. "Hello, Professor... I hope you had an enjoyable holiday?"

... Oh and proud moment?

The upbeat music was just so much fun that Cassie couldn’t help but hum along, that was until the first student came into the room. She gave a huge smile and snapped, “Hello Zander. My summer was just perfect. How was yours.” Summer was always fun to talk about.

Zeke entered the tower, and very quickly wondered if he was in the WRONG tower. What the?

...

The third year stepped in and looked about, a hand resting on his bag that swung by his side - his books where in there. Both the textbook and a random book too, seeing as he wasn't 100% sure what to bring.

As for where to sit, he wasn't sure, so for the time being he stood, stared and started to make his way to the snap cup thing.

"Hello Professor Cassie," he greeted, noticing that she was humming along to the music. He was in the right place, of course he was.

As the second student came into the room she grinned and gave a small wave, “Hello Zeke, having a good day so far?” It was only 11:30 so not much of the day had come just yet. Always time to get better if it hadn’t started off good, but she always hoped it did.

Whoaa, the upbeat music was a nice change, but there was a moment where she wondered if she had entered the wrong tower?? Confused, she looked around and stepped inside the room. "Hello, Professor Cassie. Hello, Zander and Zeke." She gave them all smiles before heading over to a seat. On a piece of paper she wrote down her proud moment:

Seeing another familiar face walk into the room, Cassie nodded and smiled, “Good morning Lux, how are you today?” All the students seemed so happy, she hoped it stayed that way.

She was not even going to comment on this, as she knew what magic could do to a normal classroom. Also, if they were going to be eating, Merlin she had no problem with THAT.

She walked by the front of the room where Morgan was humming to the unusually exciting music. "Hi, Professor Morgan," the Hufflepuff smiled. She followed the instructions on the board and went ahead to look for a place to sit. But not before she slipped her proudest moment into the snapcup.

“Hello Leah” She greeted the Hufflepuff happily, “How was your summer?” She knew they had been a week or so into lessons, but it was always nice to ask.

It wasn't fair to walk into the happiest class of all the classes and not be happy, even if there were mopey things hanging around for no apparent reason. The mopes had no right to be in Divination so this fourth year wasn't gonna let 'em. So HAPPY HAPPY smiles as picked up a quill and wrote her thingy mabob for the snap cup, as usual.
SPOILER!!: snap cup

As more and more studnets walked in some not saying hello, but Cassie didn’t mind, she just smiled at all and spoke to the ones that talked to her. “Hello Norah, how are you today?” Beaming at the fourth year. What a good day for a small feast, yes?

Moving lightly to the upbeat music, Noel walked to the snap cup thing - where Professor Cassie was standing as well. "Hellooo Professor!" he greeted her before picking up a parchment to write. He never really wrote anything significant in but he enjoyed the act anyhow.

Pulling out a quill, he quickly wrote:

“Noel, good morning.” She beamed at the fifth year. She just loved the first set of lesson and the energy of all the excited students. She wished she could just bottle that up for when students got stressed with exams.

“Angel, hello.” Always happy to see the triplets, or at least a couple of them together. “My summer was wonderful, how was yours?”

As she arrived this morning her eyes took in a sight that she wasn't expecting and for a moment she was confused. What exactly was going on in here? Blinking just once she continued forward and gave a small nod of her head to her fellow mates that were already seated. "Morning Professor," Hady greeted softly as she passed towards the snap cup. Pulling a quill from her bag and a piece of parchment she quickly jotted down a moment and folded the parchment setting it into the cup and replacing the quill to her bag.

Seeing Hady come into the room she gave a small wave. “Hello dear, how are you?” It was good to see so many friendly students.

She yawned a big yawn as she entered the Divination classroom, half expecting comfy chairs and tea, but almost did a double take to make sure she was in the right room. A banquet? Cool!

She had worn her school shirt and cardigan, as they were super soft and comfortable, but she had worn some super comfortable pants and shoes. She wasn't sure how informal comfy they were supposed to go, but she felt like she was still in her pyjamas when she arrived. That was a good sign, surely! She felt herself wake up to the music, and was quite glad it wasn't the relaxing music that is usually on. Perhaps she would have fallen asleep, otherwise? She smiled as she entered, and said "Good morning Professor Cassie. I hope you had a lovely summer." She thought there was something different… but she wasn't sure if it was just the change of scenery. "Have you had your hair cut?" It was one of those things, Zhenyathought it looked different, but it could be her mind playing silly tricks.

She placed her moment in the snap cup.

As Zhenya came into the room, Cassie grinned at the seventh year, “Good morning to you.” beaming more as she noticed her new hair, “I did, I just felt like a change this summer and went for it.” How sweet of her to notice.

He noticed the Professor was already there too. Smiling, he introduced himself to her. "Good day, Professor. I'm Jackson Hwang, fifth year transfer from Seoul." He said (still with his Korean accent) and slightly bowed. Following the other students he wrote a thing and put it on a snap cup.

A student she didn’t recognize, Cassie smiled nicely as he walked into her tower. “Hello and Welcome to Divination. I’m professor Cassie.”

When Natalia walked in, she had noticed the banquet-like set up of the room: long tables, chairs, plates...and FOOD!

Even before reading the instructions on the board, Natalia grabbed a plate and filled it up with delicious-looking treats immediately. She'd never, ever miss a free food opportunity.

While holding her food-filled plate, Natalia beamed friendly at the professor. "Professor, thanks for the food!" Because teachers who offered food in class were always the best. Always. See, if you treat Natalia good, she'd treat you well back! Easy.

Now time to actually follow the instructions on the board. Proud moment? Just any proud moment? Ehh...

Beaming as she heard another student she glanced at the food, “You are soooo welcome. Enjoy as much as you want.” She wanted them to eat up, it would be important later.

"Hi Professor! My name's Rusty, it's lovely to meet you!" She gave the professor a HUGE smile, then went towards the banquet tables. Look at all these lovely vegetables, this was her kind of feast. All she had to do was avoid the cheese and stuff. She nibbled on a bit of carrot and looked at the board.

Hm... Proud moment. Rusty thought about it for a second, then scribbled something on a bit of parchment and dropped it in the cup.

Ooooh another new face, Cassie couldn’t help but snap with excitement over all the students. “Nice to meet you Rusty, I’m Professor Cassie.”

Speaking of her... "Hello, Professor! It's great to see you again. Did you know I passes Divination OWL?" Cassie must be SO pleased and relieved that he did her proud. "Thank you for the food, by the way. You're awesome!'' The sixth year grabbed a soda, stuck some cheese on a plate and headed to find himself a seat (after dropping off his proud moment in the snap cup). He threw Henric a smirk because he had worked up the courage to sit close to Leah, grinned at Leah, Zeke, Nats, Abby and a few other before flopping down next to Zhenya.

"Heeeey, Zhenya! Cheese?'' he asked, offering the plate to his friend.

Adi seemed to have a bunch of energy as he entered the classroom. “Good morning Aditya, how are you today? I had a wonderful summer.” She smiled at him as he went towards the food. “You are so welcome.” It was great that they were all enjoying it.

Ethan pushed his way further into the classroom and greeted the blonde professor up front. “Good day, Professor Cassie! Nice...setup you’ve got here.” BEAM. Merlin...Hogwartians are indeed food driven, yeah?

Ethan made a beeline for the long table and gathered healthy food on his plate. How awesome was that, yeah? There he was, working out like mad to get a good healthy physique, and the professors, particularly Professor Cassie and Maddox had incorporated healthy stuff into their lessons. Ethan was definitely winning at life. Mhmm.

Oh and snapcup!

Getting a piece of parchment from the table, he scribbled down his proud moment: I’m proud about passing all of my OWL exams with flying colours.

Another student entering the room made Cassie smile, “Well hello Ethan, hope you are doing well. Glad you like it. Hopefully it will be a very interesting lesson.” She was so hoping they would enjoy it.

Sitting down by her Gryffindor friend, Penelope got out a bit of parchment to write her snap cup proud moment. Now for food. Penelope grabbed a plate and went to go get some snacks. After putting food on her plate, Penelope made her way back to her seat to eat and wait for the lesson to start.

Seeing Penelope walk into the room she gave a wave to the fourth year. “Hello, hello, how are you?”

"Dont mind if I do teach.." he said and took a plate and filled it. I mean no shame there right? He had a huge appetite for good food. He was surprised he wasn't fat yet. Anywho as he got his plate quite full he needed a place to sit. He found a seat near the side and he forgot a drink. He got up yet again and got his favorite soda and sat down.


Oh right he needed to fill out his proud moment slip. He thought about it and once he did, he got out his quill and began to scribble....

As the seventh year Hufflepuff walked in, Cassie gave him a weird look. Teach? That really wasn’t a respectful way to greet someone, but she’d look past it for now. “Hello Kace”

Toby didn't necessarily believe in unlucky days, nope, too negative. BUT it was pretty cool from a wizarding perspective 'cause of the magic thing, see? Yes. Anyway, that was his positive take on the date, because of course he WOULD have one.

Before heading to his seat, the comfy-clothes-wearing Tobias went ahead and dropped a pre-written proud moment into the snap cup. He turned to Professor Cassie and gave her a salute in a most enthusiastic manner.

"Good morning, Professor!" he said, offering her a big happy grin. "You seem happy today." He gave her some SNAPS. Snaps for you, professor. "Bludger and Curtis both say hi!" Okay, so they hadn't SAID anything. Toby was just translated. He could do that, y'know.

He didn't want to crowd up the front of the room, so moseyed off to a table. Once settled, he looked at the things laid out, and instantly reached for a soda. Sooooooodaaaaaaa.

Smiling as Toby came into the room she gave some snaps. “Hello Toby, how are you today. It’s a great day to be happy.” Yes it was, she was teaching, the students were excited, and it was just a beautiful day. She gave a small squeal as he said the names and snapped some more. She had visited them over the summer a bit and Curtis was just to adorbs. She wondered if Toby was kind of a nephew too since Javy called her Aunt Cassie to Curtis. Hmm this could be fun! “Well Bludger will have to come visit soon and I can’t wait to see Curtis again.” She adored babies and kitties!

This was the life, man.

Seeing Grayson come into the room she looked at her watch. Did he just get up? It was 11:30 she figured there was more classes earlier, but maybe he didn’t have any on a Friday. “Hello Grayson, how are you today?” Almost time to start, yes, it will be fun.

THERE WAS FOOD? THERE WAS FLIPPIN' FOOD.

Eden was the happiest seventeen-year-old IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE right now. She didn't wait to grab a plate and have a seat, BEAMING at Professor Morgan as she did so. No shame. Eden McGee had NO SHAME when it came to FOOD. "HOWDY PROFESSOR!" Howdy? HOWDY? Had she EVER said HOWDY before?!?! NO. BUT APPARENTLY SHE WAS SAYING IT TODAY.

She needed to write her snap cup thingy first, though--before devouring anything--so she DID.

Seeing Eden come into the room Cassie gave her a happy smile, “Hello Eden, how are you today?”

Of course she grabbed a plate.

And poured herself a nice glass of milk of course. Then she turned to her friend sitting next to her. "Hi Norah," she said cheerfully. And it was time to EAT!
__________________

Giving Hayden a smile she looked towards the corner of the room where her cats were laying in their cat purse sleeping, “Oh I think they are doing well. They’ll probably be moving around later in the room.” She beamed before turning, yes it was time to start.


“Good morning everyone, I know it’s close to lunch time so I hope you are hungry. If you haven’t already please grab a plate, pile it high if you’d like, and eat. I asked you to bring your favorite soda, if you didn’t there are drinks up front.” She hoped they all had something. “For anyone who is new and don’t know me I’m Professor Cassie Morgan. You are welcome to call me Professor Cassie.” She wasn’t her mother so it was fine to use her first name. Now to get down to business, picking up the snap cup she started to pull out the proud moments. “Anyone who doesn’t know the snap cup will soon learn to love it. I feel it’s a great way to start the class on a positive note. As I read everyone’s moments you will snap for the person.” Were they ready? “I'm a third year now.” She snapped for the person’s proud moment, “m proud I have made it to Seventh year without a detention, or losing points.” “I was really proud when I beat my older brother in a tree climbing contest” I ran a pet rock adoption fair with Professor Flamsteed at the start of term feast.” I’m super proud of being sorted into Gryffindor!” She snapped for each until she had read them all.

Leaning against her desk she grabbed a piece of cheese and took a bite, swallowing before speaking. “Divination can be a very complex subject. It has different parts to each form that we use. One part can be fun, light, and good. A reading about a person’s personality or their future. You’ve done in my past lessons ways to find things, know when a visitor is coming, and even how to match a sign, but there is another side to each form a darker side. We will usually only use the lighter side of things, but sometimes I do like to touch the darker side so you can be more aware of it.” She gave them her bubbly grin before getting up. “Before we get into all of that though, I must thank the ones that did read the notice on your house boards and wore comfy clothes. Your robes are just too much for this lesson. So if you did wear your robe, please take it off. Your uniform underneath will do.” She had noticed some had come in school robes, which she was fine with, but it would be easier in the end if they didn’t have them. “Now why don’t we have a little bit of fun before we begin?” She waved her wand and the music turned up just a bit louder. “Feel free to stand up and move around, dance, jump, anything that involves body movement. While you are doing that can anyone tell me anything that all the food and drinks have in common?”

What a happy upbeat tune that had come on, Cassie even bounced to the beat as she watched the students.


So sorry I didn't post earlier like I said I would. A street lamp in front of my house was on fire, so got distracted by fire trucks and neighbors thinking it was my house!

The dark part of divination? Hayden didn't know what that was supposed to mean and she wasn't sure she wanted to find out. But she was already in class so there was no backing out now. Plus there was free food, AND she really liked professor Cassie so she couldn't leave. Hopefully they weren't going to do anything too scary. Professor Cassie was nice, and that made Hayden feel a bit better. And first they were DANCING! Hayden shoved the rest of her food into her mouth before getting up. She wasn't a particularly good dancer, but at least she was having fun. Hayden finished chewing and swallowed before she raised her hand to answer the question.

"You can eat them all." She knew that definitely was not the answer professor Cassie was looking for but hey, she wasn't wrong.

ArianaBlack 05-11-2015 02:58 AM

Zander wasn't sure why Norah was smiling at him so much... But he smiled back, not as enthusiastically but STILL. Merlin. It was kind of creepy? Not that she was creepy... Just all the smiling. Who in the name of Merlin's greying underpants would ever be happy about a lesson? Ravenclaws maybe? And Sophie Brown for sure.

Though he was VERY quick to jump to his feet at the mention of all the food stuff. Without a second more of waiting, Zander ran over to grab and plate and began piling up the food, skipping the vegitables of course. He also grabbed a bottle of water because he maybe sort of kind of forgot to read the notice board again. It was a very hard thing to remember to do, okay? And erm... Also took off his robe as he sat down. Merlin.

... Whut?

Was that a trick question? "Uh, they're all edible?" he offered with a raised hand. Yup, that's all Zander had.

He watched as she wrote her proud moment thing, and was pleased when she came over and gave him a nudge. "Yes ma'am," he said, perfectly content with not deciding the seating arrangements of the lesson. He followed along without complaint and slipped into the chair beside her, shoving his bag beneath the table at his feet. "Any idea what this is about?" he asked, wondering what they were supposed to be doing. If he'd have known that they would be eating then he wouldn't have bothered before hand. Of course, come to think of it, the notice DID say something about food, didn't it? And... soda?


Ma'am? Well wasn't he the polite gentleman this morning. Hady laughed quietly grinning at him. That boy just never seemed to amaze her. He was so easy going and everything was just more fun when they were side by side. "No idea, the notice just said comfy clothes, a book and your favorite soda..." She whispered in reply shrugging her shoulders as she looked from Zeke to the nicely laid out tables. Really what was this all about? It sorta looked like a dinner party or something.



Comfy clothes, yeah, that... he was fine in his uniform, minus the robes... robes did tend to get in the way, why were wizards so impractical? Hhhmm?

"Yeaahhhh... I only brought a book," he noted, he hadn't cared enough to bring soda. Whoops? OH WELL.

The lesson was still a mystery.

"Heeeey, Zhenya! Cheese?'' he asked, offering the plate to his friend.

SPOILER!!: PROUDNESS!
I am proud of my self for passing all of my OWLs.



Seeing Adi arrive, Zeke returned his greeting with a small wave of his own. Hehe. HI.

The upbeat music was just so much fun that Cassie couldn’t help but hum along, that was until the first student came into the room. She gave a huge smile and snapped, “Hello Zander. My summer was just perfect. How was yours.” Summer was always fun to talk about.



As the second student came into the room she grinned and gave a small wave, “Hello Zeke, having a good day so far?” It was only 11:30 so not much of the day had come just yet. Always time to get better if it hadn’t started off good, but she always hoped it did.


Seeing another familiar face walk into the room, Cassie nodded and smiled, “Good morning Lux, how are you today?” All the students seemed so happy, she hoped it stayed that way.



“Hello Leah” She greeted the Hufflepuff happily, “How was your summer?” She knew they had been a week or so into lessons, but it was always nice to ask.



As more and more studnets walked in some not saying hello, but Cassie didn’t mind, she just smiled at all and spoke to the ones that talked to her. “Hello Norah, how are you today?” Beaming at the fourth year. What a good day for a small feast, yes?



“Noel, good morning.” She beamed at the fifth year. She just loved the first set of lesson and the energy of all the excited students. She wished she could just bottle that up for when students got stressed with exams.


More and more students came into the room and Cassie grinned, “Hello Abby, how are you today?”


“Angel, hello.” Always happy to see the triplets, or at least a couple of them together. “My summer was wonderful, how was yours?”


Seeing Hady come into the room she gave a small wave. “Hello dear, how are you?” It was good to see so many friendly students.



As Zhenya came into the room, Cassie grinned at the seventh year, “Good morning to you.” beaming more as she noticed her new hair, “I did, I just felt like a change this summer and went for it.” How sweet of her to notice.



A student she didn’t recognize, Cassie smiled nicely as he walked into her tower. “Hello and Welcome to Divination. I’m professor Cassie.”



Beaming as she heard another student she glanced at the food, “You are soooo welcome. Enjoy as much as you want.” She wanted them to eat up, it would be important later.



Ooooh another new face, Cassie couldn’t help but snap with excitement over all the students. “Nice to meet you Rusty, I’m Professor Cassie.”


Adi seemed to have a bunch of energy as he entered the classroom. “Good morning Aditya, how are you today? I had a wonderful summer.” She smiled at him as he went towards the food. “You are so welcome.” It was great that they were all enjoying it.


Another student entering the room made Cassie smile, “Well hello Ethan, hope you are doing well. Glad you like it. Hopefully it will be a very interesting lesson.” She was so hoping they would enjoy it.


Seeing Penelope walk into the room she gave a wave to the fourth year. “Hello, hello, how are you?”


As the seventh year Hufflepuff walked in, Cassie gave him a weird look. Teach? That really wasn’t a respectful way to greet someone, but she’d look past it for now. “Hello Kace”



Smiling as Toby came into the room she gave some snaps. “Hello Toby, how are you today. It’s a great day to be happy.” Yes it was, she was teaching, the students were excited, and it was just a beautiful day. She gave a small squeal as he said the names and snapped some more. She had visited them over the summer a bit and Curtis was just to adorbs. She wondered if Toby was kind of a nephew too since Javy called her Aunt Cassie to Curtis. Hmm this could be fun! “Well Bludger will have to come visit soon and I can’t wait to see Curtis again.” She adored babies and kitties!


Seeing Grayson come into the room she looked at her watch. Did he just get up? It was 11:30 she figured there was more classes earlier, but maybe he didn’t have any on a Friday. “Hello Grayson, how are you today?” Almost time to start, yes, it will be fun.



Seeing Eden come into the room Cassie gave her a happy smile, “Hello Eden, how are you today?”


Cinnamon got a smile as well and a wave, “Hello Cinnamon, having a good day so far?” She had just caught up with the sixth year when she visited the office, so no need to ask about summer.


Another new student came into the room and Cassie gave him a smile, “Hello Tyler it’s very nice to meet you. I’m Professor Cassie.”



Cassie couldn’t help but giggle with the comment of the first year, “Well I’m glad too, but you have to be hungry. Eat up”



Giving Hayden a smile she looked towards the corner of the room where her cats were laying in their cat purse sleeping, “Oh I think they are doing well. They’ll probably be moving around later in the room.” She beamed before turning, yes it was time to start.


“Good morning everyone, I know it’s close to lunch time so I hope you are hungry. If you haven’t already please grab a plate, pile it high if you’d like, and eat. I asked you to bring your favorite soda, if you didn’t there are drinks up front.” She hoped they all had something. “For anyone who is new and don’t know me I’m Professor Cassie Morgan. You are welcome to call me Professor Cassie.” She wasn’t her mother so it was fine to use her first name. Now to get down to business, picking up the snap cup she started to pull out the proud moments. “Anyone who doesn’t know the snap cup will soon learn to love it. I feel it’s a great way to start the class on a positive note. As I read everyone’s moments you will snap for the person.” Were they ready? “I'm a third year now.” She snapped for the person’s proud moment, “m proud I have made it to Seventh year without a detention, or losing points.” “I was really proud when I beat my older brother in a tree climbing contest” I ran a pet rock adoption fair with Professor Flamsteed at the start of term feast.” I’m super proud of being sorted into Gryffindor!” She snapped for each until she had read them all.

Leaning against her desk she grabbed a piece of cheese and took a bite, swallowing before speaking. “Divination can be a very complex subject. It has different parts to each form that we use. One part can be fun, light, and good. A reading about a person’s personality or their future. You’ve done in my past lessons ways to find things, know when a visitor is coming, and even how to match a sign, but there is another side to each form a darker side. We will usually only use the lighter side of things, but sometimes I do like to touch the darker side so you can be more aware of it.” She gave them her bubbly grin before getting up. “Before we get into all of that though, I must thank the ones that did read the notice on your house boards and wore comfy clothes. Your robes are just too much for this lesson. So if you did wear your robe, please take it off. Your uniform underneath will do.” She had noticed some had come in school robes, which she was fine with, but it would be easier in the end if they didn’t have them. “Now why don’t we have a little bit of fun before we begin?” She waved her wand and the music turned up just a bit louder. “Feel free to stand up and move around, dance, jump, anything that involves body movement. While you are doing that can anyone tell me anything that all the food and drinks have in common?”

What a happy upbeat tune that had come on, Cassie even bounced to the beat as she watched the students.


So sorry I didn't post earlier like I said I would. A street lamp in front of my house was on fire, so got distracted by fire trucks and neighbors thinking it was my house!



How was his day so far?

"Okay I guess," he decided, though really it was too soon to tell. How his following lessons panned out would have a great impact on whether the day was a pleasant success or a ghastly failure. He was hoping for the former.

The introductions were stock standard, and he was mildly amused that his snap cup was read out. He WAS a third year now indeed. T'was cool. Food and drink though, he didn't have any yet, should he go get some? Get someone else to get some? Did they NEEED it for the lesson or was it just there as an option??? So many questions. In the end he exchanged a side glance with Hady. What was she planning to do about this?

Before he knew it though, they were being instructed to stand and to... dance?... and things. Uh huh. Okay. Righto.

Zeke remained seated.

Were they going to force him to do this to music? Or could he get away with sitting, OR... jogging? He could jog quite well. Reluctantly, he rose from his seat and did a little side-stepping thing, his arms flailing at his sides. Yep. He was moving.

And what did food and soda have in common???

"We can taste them?" he offered, a hand semi-raised as he continued to flail about.

GoldenSnake 05-11-2015 03:14 AM

What was happening exactly?

Natalia was still sitting awkwardly at one of the banquet tables and stuffing her face (attempting very hard in a satisfying, lady-like manner) with all the food she can. Get up and dance? No way, not now.

Divination sure looked like an entertaining and relaxing course! Natalia hoped that every divination class would be like this (and with food, preferably). Sure, she never understood the irrational side of this abstract subject like she understood logic and reason. But hey, Nat wasn't born with to be a seer, and she never planned to be one. The foremost plan right now is to pass the course and enjoy the experience!

What the food and drinks have in common? That was a peculiar question. "They both make us happy." Natalia responded while situated in her seat. No way was she going to dance or move around in front of everyone. She was perfectly comfortable where she was. "They keep us alive and make us happy." cc:

RandomRaven 05-11-2015 03:24 AM

He took his robe off once the Professor asked them to. It reminded him in his dance lesson in Kirin since they didn't need to put on their uniform on that class. Just a pair of training shoes, plain t-shirt and sweatpants. But he didn't wear them today because he thought it was kinda rude to attend a class with those outfit so he chose to put his favorite sweater, cream-colored pants and sneakers. He did some stretching, jumping while putting on his hand in the air.

Everyone put your hands up and get your drinks up!

Okay, that's enough. He went back to his seat and answered the Professor. "Well, I think you did serve such a... healthy selection." Because there's milk, fruit, veggies.. Well, exclude the soda. It wasn't healthy. Too much sugar in there.

Food and drink? This was Ophelia's kind of class. Okay, maybe this would be the one Divination lesson that didn't completely annoy her or make her want to nod off. No offense to the teacher, or to those who actually enjoyed Divination, but the little blonde didn't have the sight, or whatever you called it. Nope, no way. It just wasn't there. There were some people who had it and others who didn't, and the thirteen year old fell so hard into the second category she bruised herself coming down.

Piling her plate and taking out her soda, the short girl listened respectfully and gave snaps to each other her classmates. This was the one thing she could get behind. It was cool hearing what your classmates were proud of. Especially when it was something exciting, like making it to seventh year without detentions. Kudo's to whoever put that! She was tempted to laugh a bit, as Austin would never get to put that in the snap cup and for some reason she found that amusing. Even thought it totally wasn't.

AHEM.

The darker side of Divination? Was there a darker side? You could find out when someone died, or like maybe read a bad future, but that was really it. What else did this mumbo-jumbo really do, exactly?Getting up slowly from her seat and slipping some food into her mouth, Ophelia felt glad that they got to move around for a little bit. It would keep her from getting sleepy, and maybe the eating while moving would cancel each other out. Was that how digestion worked? Probably not, but whatever.

What did the food and drinks have in common. Peculiar question for a peculiar course. Well, a peculiar question got a strange answer, and this was Ophelia's.

HAND RAISE.

"Food and drink are both delicious and keep us healthy. Without food we wouldn't have the energy to dance or jump around like we're doing now." She stopped for a second to prove her point. "For example, this is the soda I just drank." She bopped up and down. "This is last nights supper." She made tiny punching motions, careful not hit anyone. "And this is what I just ate. "And she hopped with more vigor. Was that correct? Was she close? What did this have to do with Divination?

griffin 05-11-2015 03:33 AM

Oooh, the lesson was starting now! More happy snaps and gentle bouncing in her seat were happening. What was this about the darker part of divination? Penelope suddenly stopped bouncing and snapping. Was today going to be one of those days where they learned about the darker part of divination? Takes off robes if you're wearing them... No, Penelope was not wearing her robes. Fun before they begin. Sounded fun. She was feeling happy and bubbly again. Standing up, she jumped and bounced as she thought about the next question. What did all of the foods have in common? Penelope stopped moving and stood very still, deep in thought. This was a divination lesson, and there was food, and the food was supposed to have something in common. "Can all of these foods be used for some form of divination?" That would make sense, seeing as this was a divination lesson.

FearlessLeader19 05-11-2015 03:44 AM

"I'm super great, Professor, thanks for asking,'' said a bubbly and happy Adi. Allll this food was driving him crazy. Where were the cookies hiding, though?
......................

The darker side of things? Interesting. VERYYY interesting. Adi nommed on a piece of cheese, his head tilted to the left side as he watched Professor Cassie. Count him in for whatever she had in her mind.

Anywhoooo, the comfy clothes. Right! Adi had not worn his robes because he had chosen to wear a batman tee shirt with a comfortable black pants so he was all set for jumping right in to the lesson. Yep!

And dancing! YEAAAH! The Puffer was not one bit good at dancing but he jumped right up and got himself moving. He probably looked silly but WHO CARED? Certainly not him! LOL. His hand was up and he replied, "They all taste good.'' What?! Adi had no problems with veges.

Zhenya noticed Adi walk into the classroom, then he sat next to her. She smiled at him, then laughed. "Hey Adi! Sure," she said, taking a piece and eating it. "Raspberry?" she asked, offering him a nice raspberry.

So sorry I didn't post earlier like I said I would. A street lamp in front of my house was on fire, so got distracted by fire trucks and neighbors thinking it was my house!



Zhenya didn't hesitate, she got her plate and filled it up with delicious food and ate away. She listened to Professor Cassie introduce herself and the class of Divination, before turning up the music and encouraging them to get up and boogie! She looked around, took everything in… soda, water, milk, and an assortment of foods. She raised her hand and waited, then said "Uh… it's food you'd find at a PARTY?" she asked, a big smile on her face. Were they having a PARTY?

Expecto-Penguin 05-11-2015 03:57 AM

As Kace was taking the food, he heard Professor Cassie say hello to him. He gulped and didn't expect her to hear him say teach. Whooopsss. "Erm.." he cleared his throat. "Hello Professor Cassie.." he smiled greeting her formally. "Nice food selection you got here." he said pointing to all of the food.

Sitting at his table and eating his delicious food, the big puff heard the Professor reading out all the proud moment strips. I mean it was a good idea on the teachers part to do this. It made everyone feel special in their own way which is what you want right? Now onto the lesson. After finishing his meal, he heard Professor Cassie wanting them to get up and do some physical activity? What is with all the teachers making them do physical activities? I mean first Maddox and now her? Well if she insisted. He got up from his seat and started stretching. I mean he was gonna exert himself after finishing the food.

Professor Cassie asked them what does the food and drink all have in common? That is an interesting question. He shrugged and raised his hand, "Ermm the food and drinks are all used to give us energy?"

kayquilz 05-11-2015 04:00 AM

Eden smiled up at Professor Morgan...and yeah...she had forgotten to wear comfy clothes.

OOPS.

She slipped her robe off and...dug into her food because FOOD. And even if she had decreased her FOOD intake lately due to low spirits, she was starving right now so...yeah.

OOOH dark side...it all sounded so COOL and mystical. And cool. COOOL.

She raised her hand. "Um....well...none of these foods could make a meal...not enough protein..." Eh. It was probably not what Professor Morgan was looking for, but it was a all Eden had to offer. And milk was protein enough, wasn't it? Pffffft.

Sararara 05-11-2015 04:27 AM

Norah grinned even more when Zander smiled back 'cause it was proof that it was WORKING. It really did look like she was happy. Take that, Mr. Prefect Man. She fooooled you. She should become a master detective or something with this level of skills, uh huh. The fourth year snapped along with Professor Cassie when each proud moment was read, using the noise as a cover to let her face fall back into a little frown again. She didn't like frowning but it just kept happening today. Weird werd. But then the snapping was over and it was time for FOOD. Putting the big ol' grin back onto her face, she got up from her seat and piled a big plate full of fruit and cheese ('cause who needed vegetables anyways), and a glass of milk which she toted back to the table only spilling a few eensy weensy drops so really it didn't count as spilling at all.

It was a relief to have food though, 'cause she could stop smiling when she was eating and nobody would even suspect anything. 'Specially Zander, because he was friends with Sophie Brown AND was prefect so if she didn't look grown up enough in front of him it'd be all sorts of bad news. She paused her chewing to give him a close-mouthed smile (because MANNERS) just in case he'd forgotten how un-mopey she was, before taking a big swallow and turning her attention to Professor Cassie again.

What did the food have in common? Like besides the fact that it was...food? Um um. Uuuummm. She busied herself with taking her robes off from on top of her comfy clothes instead of answering. Here she was thinking she was an EXPERT on food and she had nothing at all to say. Lame lame LAME. WHY was she being so LAME. Norah stared at her plate and didn't smile and didn't chew and didn't answer. Just moped. 'Cause she had no answer at all.

Lux smiled at Professor Cassie. "I am doing awesome, thanks!" She had talked to Bay earlier and that always made her really happy. She was so ready to learn new things about Divination!

Taking a plate, she filled it with different foods. Even though she had eaten breakfast there was nothing stopping her from having more. As she ate, she listened to all the proud moments, snapping along. She always enjoyed this part of the lessons. It was nice to have a refresher about Divination, and because she had worn comfy clothes, Lux didn't need to take her robe off.

Getting up from her seat and began dancing. It was so much fun making up random dance steps!! Raising her hand to answer the question she said, "they are all delicious and can be used to do readings?" The last part was just a wild guess.

You are welcome to call me Professor Cassie.” She wasn’t her mother so it was fine to use her first name. Now to get down to business, picking up the snap cup she started to pull out the proud moments. “Anyone who doesn’t know the snap cup will soon learn to love it. I feel it’s a great way to start the class on a positive note. As I read everyone’s moments you will snap for the person.” Were they ready? “I'm a third year now.” She snapped for the person’s proud moment, “m proud I have made it to Seventh year without a detention, or losing points.” “I was really proud when I beat my older brother in a tree climbing contest” I ran a pet rock adoption fair with Professor Flamsteed at the start of term feast.” I’m super proud of being sorted into Gryffindor!” She snapped for each until she had read them all.

Leaning against her desk she grabbed a piece of cheese and took a bite, swallowing before speaking. “Divination can be a very complex subject. It has different parts to each form that we use. One part can be fun, light, and good. A reading about a person’s personality or their future. You’ve done in my past lessons ways to find things, know when a visitor is coming, and even how to match a sign, but there is another side to each form a darker side. We will usually only use the lighter side of things, but sometimes I do like to touch the darker side so you can be more aware of it.” She gave them her bubbly grin before getting up. “Before we get into all of that though, I must thank the ones that did read the notice on your house boards and wore comfy clothes. Your robes are just too much for this lesson. So if you did wear your robe, please take it off. Your uniform underneath will do.” She had noticed some had come in school robes, which she was fine with, but it would be easier in the end if they didn’t have them. “Now why don’t we have a little bit of fun before we begin?” She waved her wand and the music turned up just a bit louder. “Feel free to stand up and move around, dance, jump, anything that involves body movement. While you are doing that can anyone tell me anything that all the food and drinks have in common?”

What a happy upbeat tune that had come on, Cassie even bounced to the beat as she watched the students.


So sorry I didn't post earlier like I said I would. A street lamp in front of my house was on fire, so got distracted by fire trucks and neighbors thinking it was my house!



Rusty was content with water, since she didn't drink fizzy drinks or milk, so she sipped at her drink whilst Professor Cassie spoke. Ah so THAT'S what the snapcup was... it... was interesting? Rowan didn't see what clicking your fingers would do for anyone but she was ALL FOR anything that would make people happy, so she clicked along with the rest of the class as the professor spoke, and found herself grinning even bigger by the time they were done. Okay.. so it did work. Cool. Rowan liked this teacher.

.... Darker side? Were they going to do that? Cause Rusty wasn't too sure she wanted to know about the darker side. She was all about light and happiness, and when people's readings turned out bleak back home she did all she could to cheer them up afterwards, because she liked people being happy and things. She fiddled with the sleeve of her tie dye sweater as she thought about it... surely the professor wouldn't make them do anything really dark, right? So it'd be okay.

And now they were dancing?!!! Well that was one of Rusty's favourite things in the world to do! Especially because she had no hint of self consciousness about her, so she moved around, twirling and waving her arms and generally doing whatever she wanted, dance-wise, even if it did make her look a bit ridiculous. She didn't mind. She was having fun.

She wasn't sure exactly what all the food had in common, but she gave one of the older girls a funny look. Not enough protein? Rusty lived off a plant based diet, and she had enough protein, so it was fine, it was just about which fruits and nuts and soy and things you ate. "They're all vegetarian, professor?" Unless she had some of that sneaky cheese that wasn't... Rowan eyed the dairy suspiciously...

Angel sighed as the Professor asked how her summer had been. "Dismal. I was ill most of it." Angel really hadn't liked being ill but at least she had been well enough to go on the field trip.

Angel then raised her hand as she listened to the professor. "Professor do they give you too much energy if you have too much of them, like you will go hype." Angel wasn't sure but it was worth a try.

Samia 05-11-2015 11:56 AM

SEE this was why he liked Divination. It was light and fun. When the professor turned up the music, Noel got up and moved a little and gave Leah a few spins too. Thankfully he was not in his robes already so he didn't have to go through the hassle of all that.

At her question, Noel rose his hand before saying: "they are all just awfully healthy. Not for a party definitely" Not his kind of party anyway.

Symphora 05-11-2015 12:57 PM

WAIT...dancing?! Henric may be good with any other things but DANCING?! No no ...huuuu....His sense of coordination was never in sync because he had two left feet.Nope.He was just going to sit here, enjoy his food, talked to llia who he was glad sat next to him...unless she wanted to dance too?

Noel was already on his feet and pulling Leah with him too. Deng it...he missed his chance to get closer to her.Hmm...well...he was not going to move away from his seat,that was final...but he felt bad not able to participate fully with the rest of the class.But he did raised his hand to answer the professor but he wasn't sure if she could hear him.

"They are very delicious food,thank you by the way,great way to have a great time with family and friends?"he shouted, hoping that his voice could be heard over the blaring music.


"Uhh...you're going to dance too?"he asked, turning to llia.

Saz Hale 05-11-2015 01:13 PM

Abby was listening to what her fellow classmates were saying and taking notes and had nothing else to add to what the professor had asked and decided to wait for the next question

DuckyLinJi 05-11-2015 01:13 PM

Divination, like Astronomy, was a class that Yoongi hadn’t learned in Charms School. So this lesson was the first one for him and he felt like an overgrown first year. He was eating from his plate when the Professor started the lesson and like in Charms, he wondered why they had to move around. Did the Professors think they were all too lazy or fat? Did they want them to grow muscles or something? He liked his body right now, it was perfect if he said so himself. He did take his robe off (wearing his school uniform underneath as he had forgotten to look at the announcement board for comfortable clothes) and stood up.
As the music began to play, Yoongi automatically moved his head on the beat and he was soon tapping his right feet on the ground and swaying a bit from left to right but he remained seated. “Smoothies” he answered. “Vegetable smoothie for example, you put some vegetables together, stir it until it becomes liquid and you can drink your food”

nanyjj 05-11-2015 01:19 PM

"My summer was great, thank you for asking!" she said. She missed summer already and they were only a week or so into school. Ten more months to go!

Leah looked up as familiar faces began arriving. A smile stretched across her face as Henric and Ilia sat down across from her, though it might have faded slightly at the ones they gave each other. There was nothing going on between them... right? The smile however, returned when she felt somebody slide into the empty seat next to her. She was about to reply to Noel, but after GRIIINING back at Adi and giving a friendly smile to Hayden, the lesson was starting.

Morgan was happy like always. This was why the Fifth Year liked her. Why couldn't all professors be like her? Leah was already wearing comfy clothes, not like pajamas-comfy, but they were good enough. Oh YAY music time! She stood up and just moved around awkwardly before she was dancing with Noel. This was fuuun. She grinned at him before raising her hand. "Noel doesn't seem to like them much." HAHA.

Felixir 05-11-2015 03:02 PM

Great day to be happy indEED, wasn't it? Toby thought so too, but then he thought that about every day, but then probably so did Professor Cassie. He grinned at her still more and nodded, "I'm sure Bludger will be around soon enough." He seemed to gravitate to other cats and to cat people; Toby had often found him loitering up on the seventh floor. "Both of them, maybe." Toby had some wild ideas about borrowing his baby brother and bringing him to Hogwarts to show him off, but he was unlikely to actually put them into action. If anything, Javy might bring him to school one day, so it was a possibility. Or, maybe not, thinking about it.

Ahem, yeah, anyway. Toby was all nice and settled, chugging sipping on a soda and ready to get started. Even as he drank he snapped along with the moments from the snap cup, out of courtesy and 'cause it was a positive thing to do. He listened, staying tuned in with some difficulty because this was Toby, and paying attention never came easy. In fact, his mind had already started to wander to some of the food that was set out for them all when something in particular that Professor Cassie had said managed to get his attention alright.

Darker side. DARKER side? Did she mean dark as in... with negative connotations? Or more like... turning the lights off and doing readings in the dark? Was this going to be a sad lesson? Because Toby didn't want to do sad.

He listened, paying a little more attention now, perhaps because he was trying to listen for DETAILS on what this 'darker side' entailed. But she'd already moved on, and now they were... dancing. WELL... there was no way THAT could be negative, so everything was looking good so far. He leapt up out of his seat, bouncier than usual after that sugary soda, and began LEAPING around the classroom like a FAIRY PRINCE AT A BALL. Half dancing, half frollicking.

"All these food and drinks," he piped up after a particularly hilarious pirouette. "Keep us ALIVE."

Yes, Toby was being AGGRESSIVELY POSITIVE okay.

MudInMyBlood 05-11-2015 03:45 PM

Comfy clothes, food and music. Did life get any better than this? Extra cool points for the professor for this being allowed in a lesson. It was the little things in life that made AJ so happy. The professor didn't have to tell her twice to pile her plate high. There was so much food that there was no way one more of anything would be able to fit.

Stuffing her face, AJ listened to Cassie go on about light and dark. In her personal opinion she liked when she touched on the darker side of Divination. It was pretty cool. Things weren't always "light," that just wasn't realistic.

The music was cranked up and AJ got out of her seat and danced while still holding her plate of food. Swaying and stuffing her face. The girl was talented. The real MVP was the plate holding up with the weight of the food. What did they have in common? "Everything is yummy and puts me in a good mood."

Kolyander 05-11-2015 05:17 PM

SPOILER!!: Zeke
Comfy clothes, yeah, that... he was fine in his uniform, minus the robes... robes did tend to get in the way, why were wizards so impractical? Hhhmm?

"Yeaahhhh... I only brought a book," he noted, he hadn't cared enough to bring soda. Whoops? OH WELL.

The lesson was still a mystery.
Hady wore what she usually did when she was told to wear something comfy. Sweatpants and a t-shirt along with her sneakers. Simple, easy and comfortable. So she was good with that. "I have my book in my bag and well of course when given the okay to bring soda I did." She laughed pulling a can of Cherry Cola from her bag and setting it on the table. "I don't mind sharing with you if you like." So she was being nice and sharing soda...not like that was uncommon for her really especially seeing as there were cups on the table so it's not like they'd be drinking from the same can.

Having kept quiet while the snap cup things were read she snapped along like normal. However then they were being told to eat and then whoa...oh no.. did they have to 'dance'? She really didn't want to dance...didn't want anyone to know she could! Shifting slightly she glanced back at Zeke and shrugged placing a bit of cheese and some fruit onto her plate. Food was always good.

Dancing though she didn't know. However she rose to her feet and with another look towards Zeke ended up grinning at what he was doing. Raising her hand she gave the only answer that came to mind. "They give us energy?" It was true really whether it was fruits and milk or soda it gave you energy.

Now back to this moving about stuff...she was half tempted to ask Zeke to dance with her but she didn't simply chewing on her lip instead and not exactly moving much.

As the music started Evie tried to place the song, but was bummed when she couldn't. Instead the first year stood from her seat and began to dance around (which honestly was more like bouncing around.)

She paused for a moment to sip more of her favorite fizzy drink, it tasted like cherries and licorice. Once she sat the cup back down she started dancing again.

"They make up the food groups?" And even once she said it she knew it was wrong as she mentally calculated the food groups "Dairy, Fruits, Grains, Meat, Vegetables, Water, and Confections" Sighing she just continued to bounce about.

Grrr..Meow 05-11-2015 06:15 PM

Food, Dont mind if I do Professor... he he he. "Thanks Professor" she said while getting up from her soft little chair to go grab a plate of food. WOW! there was like almost everything here! piling up her place she carefully balanced it back to her table while taking out her bottle of pepsi that she was told to bring earlier. She placed it on the table as she started to eat some of the foods on her plate... this class was just the best you know, food, comfy chairs, pop.... and the Professor was just hands down awesome.

Following instructions though Echo got up and started to dance by her chair, hoping someone would come and join her.

Bazinga 05-11-2015 06:38 PM

She was so glad that all the students seemed to enjoy the food and many got up to move around. From dancing to jogging at least they were trying! She gave them all snaps and beamed.

SPOILER!!: responses

Professor Cassie was nice, and that made Hayden feel a bit better. And first they were DANCING! Hayden shoved the rest of her food into her mouth before getting up. She wasn't a particularly good dancer, but at least she was having fun. Hayden finished chewing and swallowed before she raised her hand to answer the question.

"You can eat them all." She knew that definitely was not the answer professor Cassie was looking for but hey, she wasn't wrong.

The first person that took a stab at the answer was Hayden and she got a smile and snaps, “Yes you can eat them all, but that wasn’t quite what I was looking for.” Though it was a correct answer all the same.

Though he was VERY quick to jump to his feet at the mention of all the food stuff. Without a second more of waiting, Zander ran over to grab and plate and began piling up the food, skipping the vegitables of course. He also grabbed a bottle of water because he maybe sort of kind of forgot to read the notice board again. It was a very hard thing to remember to do, okay? And erm... Also took off his robe as he sat down. Merlin.

... Whut?

Was that a trick question? "Uh, they're all edible?" he offered with a raised hand. Yup, that's all Zander had.

Seeing the next hand go up, she smiled towards Zander. “They are all edible, you are correct. Again though not what I was looking for.” She did give him snaps though because he wasn’t wrong.

The introductions were stock standard, and he was mildly amused that his snap cup was read out. He WAS a third year now indeed. T'was cool. Food and drink though, he didn't have any yet, should he go get some? Get someone else to get some? Did they NEEED it for the lesson or was it just there as an option??? So many questions. In the end he exchanged a side glance with Hady. What was she planning to do about this?

Before he knew it though, they were being instructed to stand and to... dance?... and things. Uh huh. Okay. Righto.

Zeke remained seated.

Were they going to force him to do this to music? Or could he get away with sitting, OR... jogging? He could jog quite well. Reluctantly, he rose from his seat and did a little side-stepping thing, his arms flailing at his sides. Yep. He was moving.

And what did food and soda have in common???

"We can taste them?" he offered, a hand semi-raised as he continued to flail about.

She watched Zeke do his side steps and smiled approvingly, she didn’t care what the children did as long as they were moving. She had a reason for her crazy right now, they would soon see. “Yes we can eat everything I have out, though not what I was looking for. Good observation though.” That gained him snaps of course.

He did some stretching, jumping while putting on his hand in the air.

Everyone put your hands up and get your drinks up!

Okay, that's enough. He went back to his seat and answered the Professor. "Well, I think you did serve such a... healthy selection." Because there's milk, fruit, veggies.. Well, exclude the soda. It wasn't healthy. Too much sugar in there.

She looked at the food and beamed, she did serve up a very healthy variety didn’t she? “Thank you for noticing, I do love my health foods, though don’t get me wrong chocolate is my favorite.” She snapped for the boys answer before moving on.

There were some people who had it and others who didn't, and the thirteen year old fell so hard into the second category she bruised herself coming down.

Piling her plate and taking out her soda, the short girl listened respectfully and gave snaps to each other her classmates. This was the one thing she could get behind. It was cool hearing what your classmates were proud of. Especially when it was something exciting, like making it to seventh year without detentions. Kudo's to whoever put that! She was tempted to laugh a bit, as Austin would never get to put that in the snap cup and for some reason she found that amusing. Even thought it totally wasn't.

AHEM.

The darker side of Divination? Was there a darker side? You could find out when someone died, or like maybe read a bad future, but that was really it. What else did this mumbo-jumbo really do, exactly?Getting up slowly from her seat and slipping some food into her mouth, Ophelia felt glad that they got to move around for a little bit. It would keep her from getting sleepy, and maybe the eating while moving would cancel each other out. Was that how digestion worked? Probably not, but whatever.

What did the food and drinks have in common. Peculiar question for a peculiar course. Well, a peculiar question got a strange answer, and this was Ophelia's.

HAND RAISE.

"Food and drink are both delicious and keep us healthy. Without food we wouldn't have the energy to dance or jump around like we're doing now." She stopped for a second to prove her point. "For example, this is the soda I just drank." She bopped up and down. "This is last nights supper." She made tiny punching motions, careful not hit anyone. "And this is what I just ate. "And she hopped with more vigor. Was that correct? Was she close? What did this have to do with Divination?

“Yes it does make us healthy.” Cassie chuckled and gave her happy snaps for the demonstration. “Food does do so many things for our body, very good.” The answers she was getting were very creative and very correct, but just not what she was looking for with this lesson.

Sure, she never understood the irrational side of this abstract subject like she understood logic and reason. But hey, Nat wasn't born with to be a seer, and she never planned to be one. The foremost plan right now is to pass the course and enjoy the experience!

What the food and drinks have in common? That was a peculiar question. "They both make us happy." Natalia responded while situated in her seat. No way was she going to dance or move around in front of everyone. She was perfectly comfortable where she was. "They keep us alive and make us happy." cc:

How could you not smile at this answer? It was so perf that Cassie snapped even more excitedly. “Food does make us happy, or at least it makes me happy. Maybe it doesn’t everyone, but really who doesn’t love food?” She glanced around chuckling to everyone. “Food does keep us alive, very good. Not quite what I was looking for, but great just the same.” Amazing job everyone so far.

Fun before they begin. Sounded fun. She was feeling happy and bubbly again. Standing up, she jumped and bounced as she thought about the next question. What did all of the foods have in common? Penelope stopped moving and stood very still, deep in thought. This was a divination lesson, and there was food, and the food was supposed to have something in common. "Can all of these foods be used for some form of divination?" That would make sense, seeing as this was a divination lesson.

Penelope was trying to think outside the box, which of course she got snaps for. “That is an interesting though, and you can learn many things about someone with what they eat, but it’s not the food that is the form of divination, but something that goes on with eating the food.” Could that be their hint to the way this was going?

Anywhoooo, the comfy clothes. Right! Adi had not worn his robes because he had chosen to wear a batman tee shirt with a comfortable black pants so he was all set for jumping right in to the lesson. Yep!

And dancing! YEAAAH! The Puffer was not one bit good at dancing but he jumped right up and got himself moving. He probably looked silly but WHO CARED? Certainly not him! LOL. His hand was up and he replied, "They all taste good.''What?! Adi had no problems with veges.

Looking towards Adi, Cassie gave him a smile and snaps. “This selection does all taste good. Not quite what I’m looking for though, but great answer.”

She raised her hand and waited, then said "Uh… it's food you'd find at a PARTY?" she asked, a big smile on her face. Were they having a PARTY?

A chuckle left her lips at Zhenya’s answer and she gave the girl snaps. “It is found at parties. Many places have these out with their main foods for finger food snacks. You are very right! Not what we are using it for Divination today, but nice guess.” She loved all the responses, it felt good to be back.

Sitting at his table and eating his delicious food, the big puff heard the Professor reading out all the proud moment strips. I mean it was a good idea on the teachers part to do this. It made everyone feel special in their own way which is what you want right? Now onto the lesson. After finishing his meal, he heard Professor Cassie wanting them to get up and do some physical activity? What is with all the teachers making them do physical activities? I mean first Maddox and now her? Well if she insisted. He got up from his seat and started stretching. I mean he was gonna exert himself after finishing the food.

Professor Cassie asked them what does the food and drink all have in common? That is an interesting question. He shrugged and raised his hand, "Ermm the food and drinks are all used to give us energy?"

“Why thank you Kace, I’m glad you approve.” She did like that they could enjoy the food while learning. They just weren’t aware they were part of the learning at the moment. Hehe! Giving him snaps she nodded, “It does give you energy, but how is that related to Divination?” Giving another thing to think about, this was fun!

OOOH dark side...it all sounded so COOL and mystical. And cool. COOOL.

She raised her hand. "Um....well...none of these foods could make a meal...not enough protein..." Eh. It was probably not what Professor Morgan was looking for, but it was a all Eden had to offer. And milk was protein enough, wasn't it? Pffffft.

Looking to the next person to talk she smiled at Eden, “Well you are correct in that manner. Though if we had some lettuce and dressing we could make a pretty good salad.” Giving her snaps, she was happy she gave it a go.

“They are very delicious Lux” Snaps went to her for pointing out how yummy these snacks were. “We won’t be doing a reading on the food per say, but we will be doing a reading with what goes on with the food.” Did that give too much away, she hoped not.

She was all about light and happiness, and when people's readings turned out bleak back home she did all she could to cheer them up afterwards, because she liked people being happy and things. She fiddled with the sleeve of her tie dye sweater as she thought about it... surely the professor wouldn't make them do anything really dark, right? So it'd be okay.

And now they were dancing?!!! Well that was one of Rusty's favourite things in the world to do! Especially because she had no hint of self consciousness about her, so she moved around, twirling and waving her arms and generally doing whatever she wanted, dance-wise, even if it did make her look a bit ridiculous. She didn't mind. She was having fun.

She wasn't sure exactly what all the food had in common, but she gave one of the older girls a funny look. Not enough protein? Rusty lived off a plant based diet, and she had enough protein, so it was fine, it was just about which fruits and nuts and soy and things you ate. "They're all vegetarian, professor?" Unless she had some of that sneaky cheese that wasn't... Rowan eyed the dairy suspiciously...

Looking to the first year she gave her snaps, “Very good all of this can be used for a vegetarian diet. Some may say the dairy is not, but I always eat cheese and drink milk.” So in her mind it was fine for vegetarians, since she had been one for many years now.

____

Angel got a little bit of a look for a moment before she got snaps, “I think you are a little confused by energy and hyperactivity. Sugar is the main source people say will cause hyperactivity, energy which we get from food is a little different.” Though it was still a good answer.

At her question, Noel rose his hand before saying: "they are all just awfully healthy. Not for a party definitely" Not his kind of party anyway.

She was waiting for that comment, she really was. A bunch of teenagers with healthy food it was only a matter of time. “Well it is very healthy, but healthy can taste good and actually many parties do have these exact foods along with the chips and candy.” So it could be a party with these foods. He got snaps too, because he gave his best answer!

Noel was already on his feet and pulling Leah with him too. Deng it...he missed his chance to get closer to her.Hmm...well...he was not going to move away from his seat,that was final...but he felt bad not able to participate fully with the rest of the class.But he did raised his hand to answer the professor but he wasn't sure if she could hear him.

"They are very delicious food,thank you by the way,great way to have a great time with family and friends?"he shouted over the blazing music.

“They are delicious, yes” She gave him snaps for his answer and then grinned, “You are very welcome. I’m glad you are all enjoying them.” It was wonderful to see.

Did they want them to grow muscles or something? He liked his body right now, it was perfect if he said so himself. He did take his robe off (wearing his school uniform underneath as he had forgotten to look at the announcement board for comfortable clothes) and stood up.
As the music began to play, Yoongi automatically moved his head on the beat and he was soon tapping his right feet on the ground and swaying a bit from left to right but he remained seated. “Smoothies” he answered. “Vegetable smoothie for example, you put some vegetables together, stir it until it becomes liquid and you can drink your food”

Now that was a unique answer, “Very good, smoothies are fabtastic” He got snaps for sure, what a great observation. “Not what we are doing today, but smoothies from this would be lovely.”

Leah looked up as familiar faces began arriving. A smile stretched across her face as Henric and Ilia sat down across from her, though it might have faded slightly at the ones they gave each other. There was nothing going on between them... right? The smile however, returned when she felt somebody slide into the empty seat next to her. She was about to reply to Noel, but after GRIIINING back at Adi and giving a friendly smile to Hayden, the lesson was starting.

Morgan was happy like always. This was why the Fifth Year liked her. Why couldn't all professors be like her? Leah was already wearing comfy clothes, not like pajamas-comfy, but they were good enough. Oh YAY music time! She stood up and just moved around awkwardly before she was dancing with Noel. This was fuuun. She grinned at him before raising her hand. "Noel doesn't seem to like them much." HAHA.

Turning to Leah as she spoke up to answer, Cassie gave a small smile, “I don’t know if I’d come to that conclusion. He just pointed out that it was healthy and it wouldn’t be party food in his eyes.” Giving her another little smile she moved on.

He seemed to gravitate to other cats and to cat people; Toby had often found him loitering up on the seventh floor. "Both of them, maybe." Toby had some wild ideas about borrowing his baby brother and bringing him to Hogwarts to show him off, but he was unlikely to actually put them into action. If anything, Javy might bring him to school one day, so it was a possibility. Or, maybe not, thinking about it.

Ahem, yeah, anyway. Toby was all nice and settled, chugging sipping on a soda and ready to get started. Even as he drank he snapped along with the moments from the snap cup, out of courtesy and 'cause it was a positive thing to do. He listened, staying tuned in with some difficulty because this was Toby, and paying attention never came easy. In fact, his mind had already started to wander to some of the food that was set out for them all when something in particular that Professor Cassie had said managed to get his attention alright.

Darker side. DARKER side? Did she mean dark as in... with negative connotations? Or more like... turning the lights off and doing readings in the dark? Was this going to be a sad lesson? Because Toby didn't want to do sad.

He listened, paying a little more attention now, perhaps because he was trying to listen for DETAILS on what this 'darker side' entailed. But she'd already moved on, and now they were... dancing. WELL... there was no way THAT could be negative, so everything was looking good so far. He leapt up out of his seat, bouncier than usual after that sugary soda, and began LEAPING around the classroom like a FAIRY PRINCE AT A BALL. Half dancing, half frollicking.

"All these food and drinks," he piped up after a particularly hilarious pirouette. "Keep us ALIVE."

Yes, Toby was being AGGRESSIVELY POSITIVE okay.

She watched Toby doing his dancing a bit and clapped excitedly. What a great sport to do this with the class. Many seventh years would not be so brave. “They are all food and drink and keep us alive. Very good.” He did get snaps as well for that.

Stuffing her face, AJ listened to Cassie go on about light and dark. In her personal opinion she liked when she touched on the darker side of Divination. It was pretty cool. Things weren't always "light," that just wasn't realistic.

The music was cranked up and AJ got out of her seat and danced while still holding her plate of food. Swaying and stuffing her face. The girl was talented. The real MVP was the plate holding up with the weight of the food. What did they have in common? "Everything is yummy and puts me in a good mood."

Looking to Aj, Cassie smiled, “Yes everything is very yummy and does put you in a good mood.” Snaps for her answer as well.

"I don't mind sharing with you if you like." So she was being nice and sharing soda...not like that was uncommon for her really especially seeing as there were cups on the table so it's not like they'd be drinking from the same can.

Having kept quiet while the snap cup things were read she snapped along like normal. However then they were being told to eat and then whoa...oh no.. did they have to 'dance'? She really didn't want to dance...didn't want anyone to know she could! Shifting slightly she glanced back at Zeke and shrugged placing a bit of cheese and some fruit onto her plate. Food was always good.

Dancing though she didn't know. However she rose to her feet and with another look towards Zeke ended up grinning at what he was doing. Raising her hand she gave the only answer that came to mind. "They give us energy?" It was true really whether it was fruits and milk or soda it gave you energy.

Now back to this moving about stuff...she was half tempted to ask Zeke to dance with her but she didn't simply chewing on her lip instead and not exactly moving much.

Looking to another student that answered Cassie smiled, “Very good, they do give us energy.” Happy snaps went to Hady.

"They make up the food groups?" And even once she said it she knew it was wrong as she mentally calculated the food groups "Dairy, Fruits, Grains, Meat, Vegetables, Water, and Confections" Sighing she just continued to bounce about.

Hmm, now this was an interesting answer. She looked to the food again before snapping and smiling. “These do make up the food groups, yes, but again not quite what I was looking for.” Great guess though, everyone was doing so well.


She watched them move around for a few more minutes before giving a clap. “Alright, very good. Please find your seats again.

Abby had no clue on what the answer was so she just waited to see what her fellow classmates were going to answer

Grrr..Meow 05-11-2015 07:06 PM

Oh this was going to be a very noisy lesson he he he. just randomly her hands went to her belly "hope no ones trying to speak to me" she thought while trying to figure out why she knew about this already. Holding up her hand she said "Professor, its called Gastromancy. It has to do with standing over someones grave and they are able to comminucate through the sounds of the belly?" she had heard one of her crazy aunts talk about this before but she was actually really surprised that it had stuck with her.

FearlessLeader19 05-11-2015 07:07 PM

"Can I have more than one raspberries?" Adi asked Zhenya. Because you know... FOOD WAS THE BEST THING EVER! He took an offered berry and popped it into his mouth. Yum!
...................

Aw, man! His answer hadn't been right. Ah, well. But did they have to sit again? Disappointing but Adi knew they could not keep moving through the lesson so he flopped down back beside Zhenya. He eyed his Professor? Did she just say GASSIER foods? LOL! Divination... using the sounds of the stomach was what they were doing? It did sound familiar. It was likely he had read on it.

So... bodily noises it was. Adi removed his specs as the lights were dimmed and after a bit of racking his brains, he raised his hand. "Gastromancy. They use it on the dead because... um...those that have passed on, if the bodies were fresh enough, the bodies made the same sounds as the stomachs of the living and it was easier to listen to the dead?'' You know, the sound of the gasses moving around. Anyway, was Adi even making sense? He looked at Professor Cassie, frowning a bit. He wasn't sure he put that into the best explanation. Hey, at least he gave it a shot.

Rowan was about to point out that A: some cheese had animals fats in and wasn't vegetarian and B: not eating dairy made you a vegan, not a vegetarian, but she had learned from her family never to be harsh when someone was talking about food cause then they'd call you a self-righteous vegan somethingorother, and whilst that may be true, it wasn't good to make people judge you just because you preferred a cruelty-free diet. So she kept her mouth shut.

Also, she quite liked it when the professor clicked at her, and she didn't want to upset her AT ALL. Especially cause she thought this might just be her favourite class ever.

.......

Okay but really? Rowan had NEVER heard of food divination, not seriously... wizards were weird. Sounded cool though, and it meant she could eat, so she was down. She listened to what people were saying and tried to come up with a different answer - wasn't worth repeating what everyone else said. "Professor, does a person's ghost come out if they fart after they're dead?"

Yeah, that'd do it.

SarcasticStrawberry 05-11-2015 08:55 PM

Nom nom nom

She was running around Emmy. She wasn't going to get her she ran and ate and ran from Emmy. Not that she was afraid of her. Because she wasn't. Not all at. It was just that Emmy was quite protective over her candy. She was sure that Emmy kept a count of every piece now. Hehe. She couldn't help it she needed the candy! But the candy had ended up being a bad idea.

The sixth year was sitting there listening to Cassie talk about what the lesson was going to be about today. She kind of couldn't help but to silently giggle to herself over the lesson. The ways they could divinate things. Cats, crystals, water and ton of other things. Weird and cool. Apparently using bodily sounds to tell the future. Cinna snorted at the baby lions (Rusty) answer she couldn't help it. It was too cute. She was never getting into Emmy's candy again. She raised her hand. "Gastromancy. It's used to find omens?" That was right. right? She wasn't sure how exactly the dead was going to tell omens but she felt that she was on the right track here.

GoldenSnake 05-11-2015 09:28 PM

Natalia was already at her seat. Haha.

After listening to the professor's lecture, Natalia now understood why they had to do all these trivial things...it turned out the random feast wasn't trivial at all! So, the gassier the food, the more likely and louder the stomach makes the sounds, the better the results of the reading, huh? It made sense in the overall picture. Interesting...

Natalia had never heard of such a type of divination, but she did admit that it was rather creative. Whoever came up with stomach-growl-reading must have been very bored but very imaginative...Einstein? Hurhur.

"I have no idea what it's called, but I guess it makes sense to listen to someone's stomach after they're not living anymore..." It was difficult for Natalia to justify her answer logically; she just felt that no living person would allow another person to listen to their stomachs! How weird would that be? "I mean...it is very possible to fit a tiiiiny person in the stomach." So logically, the older civilization would have believed a person could be trapped in the stomach.

littledhampir 05-11-2015 09:54 PM

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hayden had taken her seat again as instructed but she almost fell out of it again because she was laughing so hard. They were going to tell the future through FARTS? HAHAHAHA. Okay no, not funny. She was a nice, mature, fourth year lady. And it wasn't funny. Okay it was a little bit funny. It was pretty funny but Hayden would stop laughing because she had to at least pretend it was not funny. Hopefully that wouldn't be too hard.

Hayden had no idea what that kind of divination would be called. One girl gave a very logical answer. Gastromancy. Alright that made sense. But why would they want to use that? Who would think there was any logical sense in that? Hayden did have one idea, so she raised her hand.

"Maybe they thought that after people were dead their farts were actually messages in morse code." Maybe the dead could communicate about life was like after death, but they could only communicate through farts. HAHAHAHA. Nope not funny at all.

WhittyBitty 05-11-2015 09:58 PM

Oooh, so she was right about the food being delicious and wrong about it being used for readings. LOL at them doing readings based on bodily noises, though. Okay, she was 16 but that didn't mean she couldn't get a little silent giggle over the idea. Some of these divination methods sure sounded odd. She HAD read about this last term though, while studying for her OWLs.

Raising her hand, Lux took a shot at answering the question. "This form of Divination is called Gastromancy. Maybe it's used as a method of communicating with the dead? Because maybe if the body is fresh enough, it still makes bodily noises?" Ehhh, that was as good a guess as any.

Weasley174 05-11-2015 10:00 PM

Angel raised her hand. "Professor isn't it called Gastromancy because it takes the voices from the belly?" Angel then thought about something. "So does that mean all the Ventriloquist people today are thought to be able to do this?" Angel was really lost and confused now.

Felixir 05-11-2015 10:20 PM

Toby was a big fan of this whole trend of the professors getting the students moving and grooving at the start of lessons. First Quigley, now Professor Cassie. And then there was Airey who aaaaaaaaaaaalways had them doing a lot of fun stuff that was almost like PE. Yeah. Toby liked this. He was still smiling and happy even when they were told to stop and go sit down, even. Though... a lot more bouncy now.

It was not always such a brilliant idea to hype this not-child up.

Wait... was Prof. Cassie trying to make them gassy?

Oh boy, THIS was gonna be a hilarious lesson. Or completely embarrassing. Or both. Or neither. It would... definitely be informative, right? Bahahaha. And AH! So she DID mean literal darkness? Well THAT just made Toby even happier, and he beamed as the lights were lowered. Oh, but then death talk. Maybe THAT was the dark thing? It was all very confusing to think about.

SO... what was the name for divining using... those sounds? No idea. Still, he raised his hand to answer 'cause WHY NOT. "Gurgle-omancy?" Oh... wait, probably not, as everyone else was saying that other thing. Welp. Toby pushed ahead anyway. "And, like, you said the sounds are like someone talking. Sooooo maybe it was used on the, um... living impaired... because they would be talking from beyond the grave. Like a... a... gaseous medium."

Daydreamer11 05-11-2015 10:35 PM

Catching up
 
Janelle listened as Professor Cassie asked a question about the food and drinks. After thinking about it for a moment, she raised her hand. "All of the food and drinks can be eaten alone or mixed with other food and drinks." Even though she didn't think that was what the Professor was looking for, Janelle had given it a try. It turned out that her answer was not correct, but oh well......she tried.

Professor Cassie went on to explain the reason for the gassy foods they had been given. When she mentioned bodily noises, Janelle couldn't imagine what that had to do with Divination......but of course it did have something to do with Divination. As the next question was asked, her mind was blank. She had no idea what the reading bodily noises form of Divination was called. It took everything she had not to laugh at the thought of it. Hey, she couldn't help it. Chalk it up to being twelve.

As she listened to her classmates answers, Janelle was afraid to think of what their class activity was going to be. Gassy food, bodily noises......she did not like where this was going.

Expecto-Penguin 05-12-2015 12:58 AM

Kace smiled and I mean Professor Cassie did have great taste in food. I mean she had all his favorites here. That counted for something right? He began to snack on his food, when Professor Cassie asked him how does the food giving him energy relate to Divination? He honestly had NO idea and was stumped. He smiled and said, "I will get back to you on that one.." Then he went back to his seat and thought about it. How in the bloody merlin did food have to do with Divination? I mean he couldn't think of any ideas. He heard her addressing the class. Woaaahhh she picked gassier food!? Umm....Professor Cassie do you know what you are up against? No wonder he felt his stomach bubbling.

When he heard he could burp. Kace grinned gleefully like a kid in a toy store. Don't mind I do. He was already feeling one coming on. He did a little...

"BBUURRRRPPPPPP...." and he turned around and it felt awkward but relieving at the same time. He might as well be polite, "Excuse me.." he said and couldn't help but hold back a chuckle.

This lesson was getting better and better. Props to you Professor Cassie. Props to you. He heard the term was Gastromancy because that sounded legit. He had no idea why they would use it. Kace was gonna give an answer coming out of his butt, "Professor I think they communicate using bodily functions like burping or farting because it is simple like code I guess. It is something the spirits understand. I mean they can't really speak because it is delayed but I guess simple sounds are easier to imitate to the person." That was his guess.

Stormdancer 05-12-2015 01:20 AM

Marsha grinned wide as she was told to eat up. Best Professor ever. She thought as she opened her can of pepsi and took a sip before she pulled her plate over and started to fill it with as many foods as she liked that were in front of her. So much fruit! And cheeses and everything! Hehe.

As she nibbled on some of the food on her plate, Professor Cassie asked them to get up and move around. Um… Food… Dancing… Foood… Daaancing… With a smile, she popped some more berries into her mouth and then stood up to join Rusty in dancing. She really didn’t have any good ideas for why they were eating these foods specifically, so she didn’t say anything simply listened to the others opinions and suggestions.

However, when Professor Cassie told them to sit down again, she did so with a big grin as she continued eating the yummy food on her plate. And Pepsi! In glass! How awesome was this?

Gastronomy… Hmm. Interesting.

Hand raise. ”Oh, is it not also due to the fact that when people die, their bodies are still processing the food and drink that we have eaten in the previous day? But in the 17th century, it wasn’t likely that they would know that science agreed with that - so they probably assumed it was a ghost or a demon or something.” She paused and frowned slightly. ”I think, they were paranoid about people sneezing too… Is that not where the term ‘Bless you’ comes from? They thought it would stop their souls leaving their bodies... “ Right?

Was she just rambling now? Probably. She should maybe just keep eating and listen instead of babbling.

Kolyander 05-12-2015 01:24 AM

Hady easily and wordlessly slipped back down onto her seat when told they could sit once more. Sitting was best right now. Mhmm no dancing required when ones bottom was set firmly on a chair.

Once seated comfortably she let her legs swing a little bit beneath the table but made sure she wouldn't come close to kicking anyone. It wasn't her fault she was still as short as she was and could barely reach the floor. Anyhow picking up a bit of cheese off her plate she began to nibble at it as she listen to Professor Cassie explain about the foods and what was going to be taught today.

The talk of gassier foods and such didn't even cause the third year to crack a smile. It wasn't funny, it was normal. So no laughing from this girl. The question though yeah she didn't know. Sure she could guess but really everyone else was saying the same thing so she choose to keep quiet and just listen for now.

kayquilz 05-12-2015 02:02 AM

Um.....as Eden ate...and listened...and took notes...what was even HAPPENING? FOOD GURGLE DIVINATION? How weird. She didn't mind, but it was still weird. In fact, it kind of made her giggle to herself, because someone BURPED--

She smirked over at KACE, the CULPRIT. Heh. Eden THOUGHT about letting out aaaallllllll her burps but...eh...she had to be classy. Why? Well, because she just WANTED to be classy today. She had actually brushed her hair for once....yeah. It was a classy day.

Classy-ish.

She also had NO IDEA what the answer to Professor Morgan's question was, but...yeah. She just ate. A lot. And almost choked when that first year asked about farting.

WHAT WAS HAPPENING?!

Casey O 05-12-2015 03:52 AM

Marigold had turned a bit pale, even after eating food, because stomach things GROSSED HER OUT. It was WEIRD. It was just one of those things. So she scrunched herself close together, arms crossed over her stomach, and raised her voice to be heard. "Gastromancy?" she asked. She had heard that word before somewhere.

Jessiqua 05-12-2015 04:01 AM

Zhenya tried not to crack a smile as she looked Adi in the eye, siriusly, and said "No, just one." She waited a few seconds before her composure cracked and she giggled, offering more than one to Adi.

And now onto flatulence. Zhenya tried so hard to keep a straight face, but she was still a bit giggly from all the fun they had been having, and she felt her face involuntarily crack into a big grin, a giggle bubbling up. Honestly, she was SEVENTEEN! She should be more mature than this. But she actually wasn't.

She vaguely remembered something about it, and was a but annoyed at herself for not thinking about it in the first place. Not joining the dots. Food + divination = not a party. Well, a party maybe but not the answer Professor Cassie was looking for. The bit she did remember from the gas-divination, she decided she should say. She raised her hand and waited to be called on, "People used to listen to the gut sounds and interpret it as the dead talking to them," or something like that.

Deng it...he missed his chance to get closer to her.Hmm...well...he was not going to move away from his seat,that was final...but he felt bad not able to participate fully with the rest of the class.But he did raised his hand to answer the professor but he wasn't sure if she could hear him.

"They are very delicious food,thank you by the way,great way to have a great time with family and friends?"he shouted, hoping that his voice could be heard over the blaring music.


"Uhh...you're going to dance too?"he asked, turning to llia.



Ilia was glad that she sat next to Henric, as usual. When she saw everyone get up and start moving around though.......she choked back a giggle. Some people were moving in some pretty ridiculous ways to her and she felt more comfortable sitting and watching in this case. She sat next to Henric and lightly picked here and there at her food, only taking a bite or two. He almost sounded......nervous?....when he asked if she was going to dance too. "I kind of think watching is more fun right now." She grinned back at him. She liked to dance and could do so pretty well, but the other students were more entertaining. This was an awkward setting to dance in and she was just wearing jeans and a white sweater top.

She listened to the other student's answers and the teachers response. They....wait.....what!? Ilia wasn't the prissy girl around but.....that sounded gross. She had a feeling that she would NOT be enjoying this class and firmly decided that she would be sticking close to Henric.

Penelope sat down when Professor Cassie said that they should find their seats again. There was a kind of divination about stomach sounds? Fascinating. Apparently there were branches of divination for everything. However, she wasn't sure what this particular form of divination was called. Many other students seemed to agree that it was called gastromancy. Gastromancy would be a logical name for it because gastro meant that it had something to do with the stomach. So it probably was gastromancy. "Gastromancy, because gastro means relating to the stomach."

What was that second part of the question? Use it on somebody who has already passed on? "They used it on dead people?" Eeew. Why would anyone do that? And how could they hear dead people's stomach sounds if the people had been buried in the cemetery or had been dead for so long that they didn't have stomachs producing stomach noises? They weren't going to have to do that, right? Just on living people with the food that they were eating. Penelope turned her attention back to her food. She sipped her soda and nibbled on the food as she listened to what other people were saying. So, how could stomach sounds be used for divination? She was slightly skeptical that stomach sounds could tell you anything that would be useful for divination purposes.

Sararara 05-12-2015 04:45 AM

Norah didn't even have time to get excited about spending a whole class talking about food because Professor Cassie had already moved on to another question she didn't know the answer to. How did people just KNOW things? She felt as if she never knew anything at all except for what Sebby had told her and he was only ELEVEN which now that she thought about it made this whole entire thing loads worse. Fourth years were supposed to be SMART. She'd have to get Sophie to teach her all the thing sometime because it was really getting lame to know less than everybody ever.

Sliding down in her seat until the bridge of her nose was level with the table, the fourteen year old put all of her grapes into her mouth until they bulged in her cheeks and made her look like a rather lumpy chipmunk. Somebody else could answer the question. Norah still didn't have an answer, alright? Nothing new here.

Symphora 05-12-2015 05:14 AM

Henric inwardly sighed in relieve that llia said she wasn't going to dance too. If she did, he needed to be gentlemanly and asked her to dance with him, right? His dad thought him that he must.He was even more relief that the professor decided to cease the dancing and the music playing so they could continue with her lesson...yes..thank you, thank yoouu...professor Cassie! He made sure to pay her a visit one day.yup.

----------------

Henric continued listening to the professor talking about the dead and stuff. Interesting stuff, it was once believe they could talk to the undead by listening to the sound of a dead body would make? But didn't they have the ghosts and the moving talking portraits to talk to? It wasn't the same of course, they were talking to only memoirs.Hmm..right...back then..anyone believed anything they found out of the ordinary or superstitious.

Uhh....Gastro..what..Mancy? It was the first time he had heard of it, and he was surprised that a lot of the students knew of the answer.

"Yeaahhhh... I only brought a book," he noted, he hadn't cared enough to bring soda. Whoops? OH WELL.

The lesson was still a mystery.
Hady wore what she usually did when she was told to wear something comfy. Sweatpants and a t-shirt along with her sneakers. Simple, easy and comfortable. So she was good with that. "I have my book in my bag and well of course when given the okay to bring soda I did." She laughed pulling a can of Cherry Cola from her bag and setting it on the table. "I don't mind sharing with you if you like." So she was being nice and sharing soda...not like that was uncommon for her really especially seeing as there were cups on the table so it's not like they'd be drinking from the same can.

Having kept quiet while the snap cup things were read she snapped along like normal. However then they were being told to eat and then whoa...oh no.. did they have to 'dance'? She really didn't want to dance...didn't want anyone to know she could! Shifting slightly she glanced back at Zeke and shrugged placing a bit of cheese and some fruit onto her plate. Food was always good.

Dancing though she didn't know. However she rose to her feet and with another look towards Zeke ended up grinning at what he was doing. Raising her hand she gave the only answer that came to mind. "They give us energy?" It was true really whether it was fruits and milk or soda it gave you energy.

Now back to this moving about stuff...she was half tempted to ask Zeke to dance with her but she didn't simply chewing on her lip instead and not exactly moving much.



He should have known Hady would be more organised, and so long as she didn't mind he was happy to take her up on her soda offer. He watched her take it out of her bag, Cherry Cola, he wouldn't say no to that. "Sure, I'll just have a bit though."

... ....



It was a shame that Professor Cassie had misinterpreted what he was saying, he didn't mean they could EAT them, he meant they could TASTE then, as in, they had FLAVOURS... but alas... OH WELL.

Seemed he was bring up the wrong tree anyway.

As Professor Cassie continued talking though, he found it increasingly difficult to keep a straight face. GAS? They were going to be farting and things... in front of each other?

HAHAHAHAHA.. Ahem. Zeke smirked in an attempt to keep in the laughter.

GAS!!!!

He wasn't even going to attempt to answer her next question, because he had NO idea. None. Unless it was GASOMANCY. Was it?

RandomRaven 05-12-2015 11:48 AM

So, this wasn't about the healthy food but the ones that could produce gas to your stomach. He just knew about that. He kept listening to the Professor Cassie as he munched his peach. Nom nom.

So, they're gonna learn about gut sounds? To be honest, it sounded gross. Especially when there's an older student burping. EEEEEWWWW!! It was totally gross... and impolite. He wasn't a person who often act with polite manners but still... Burping in front of many people and there's a Professor in it? Not good. The Korean guy couldn't help but shook his head. "Well uh.. does it related about listening to your gut when making decision?" He tried to answer.


DuckyLinJi 05-12-2015 12:53 PM

Of course Yoongi had opened up his divination book before going to school in the hope of getting some kind of information. But whatever the Professor was asking what kind of form of Divination it would be if one would be leaning over a grave in a cemetery he had no idea. Graves, cemeteries, death were not really his cup of tea and he probably skipped that chapter. He did laugh a bit at a young Gryffindor’s question (Rusty).

Well, he had correctly answered the previous question so he decided to not answer this one because he had no clue. Instead, he stopped eating because the talk about the death and farts and stuff made him lose his appetite and grabbed his Divination notebook instead, ready to scribble down notes.

………………….Did someone just burp out loud? Yoongi turned his head in a Hufflepuff’s direction (Kace) and looked extremely disgusted.

nanyjj 05-12-2015 01:26 PM

Huhhh she didn't get snaps! Well, her answer WAS kind of bad. It was all because of Noel haha. She sat down again, rather reluctantly, pulling him along. Oh. The real answer was pretty unexpected - gassy food. Who would have guessed THAT? And then the music was off and the lights dimmed. Great, Leah liked dramatic settings.

"Gas something," she said with her hand raised. Listening to her classmates speaking up, she remembered the term. "Oh yeah, Gastromancy." After a pause, she continued, "Are dead people easier to work with?" It was a guess. She did not really want to think about it anymore.

Samia 05-12-2015 05:22 PM

Gassy food? THAT was the answer? Noel didn't appreciate it because things could get a little nasty in the classroom if everyone kept eating like this. THANKFULLY he hadn't tried anything yet thinking it had been just healthy food.

Noel let Leah pull him down and watched as the lights dim. Ohh theatrics.

Everyone else started giving the answer .. so there was no point repeating it. But he did ask: "Dead people have gas?"

MudInMyBlood 05-12-2015 06:03 PM

No more moving? Boo. AJ took her seat and continued to popped the last of her food in her mouth. Now maybe should concentrate. Actually that wasn't likely. She was more in the mood for a nap now. Yawn.

But then her ears perked up, and suddenly the last thing she wanted was a nap. Farts, farts, farts. This was highly amusing and the lion didn't even try to hide her laugh. This was going to be one of the funniest lessons ever. She wondered how the girly girls in this class would be reacting. Yes, AJ was really a ten year old boy at heart.

It seemed like a huffie boy had the same idea as her, but she couldn't not ask. "Dead people can't fart... can they, professor?" Or were magical dead people different?

Hearing the second year Cassie beamed and gave her snaps, “Yes you are correct, it is Gastromancy. Back in time people did stand over graves and try to communicate. The sounds of the belly were considered the voice of the dead, but this changed many times over the years.” This was a very complex form, she hoped they would all understand it.

So... bodily noises it was. Adi removed his specs as the lights were dimmed and after a bit of racking his brains, he raised his hand. "Gastromancy. They use it on the dead because... um...those that have passed on, if the bodies were fresh enough, the bodies made the same sounds as the stomachs of the living and it was easier to listen to the dead?'' You know, the sound of the gasses moving around. Anyway, was Adi even making sense? He looked at Professor Cassie, frowning a bit. He wasn't sure he put that into the best explanation. Hey, at least he gave it a shot.

Looking towards Adi she gave him some snaps, “Very good you are correct, as the body just passes and the bodily functions do keep going. Gasses pass through, hair still grows, and nails keep getting longer. So I freshly deceased body would be better to do this form on then one that had been passed for some time.”

So she kept her mouth shut.

Also, she quite liked it when the professor clicked at her, and she didn't want to upset her AT ALL. Especially cause she thought this might just be her favourite class ever.

.......

Okay but really? Rowan had NEVER heard of food divination, not seriously... wizards were weird. Sounded cool though, and it meant she could eat, so she was down. She listened to what people were saying and tried to come up with a different answer - wasn't worth repeating what everyone else said. "Professor, does a person's ghost come out if they fart after they're dead?"

Yeah, that'd do it.
______________

When her green eyes fell on the first year, Rowan she couldn’t help but chuckle, that would be such a sight. Giving her snaps, “That is a great thought and you aren’t far off from what some thought when this first originated. Many were afraid of demons and curses that could haunt after a person’s death. So some believed this form could communicate and release those evils away from earth. Other’s believed that the dead could help them with the future, so finding the omen within. ” Always so interesting how things evolved if you looked at it. History was so fun!

But the candy had ended up being a bad idea.

The sixth year was sitting there listening to Cassie talk about what the lesson was going to be about today. She kind of couldn't help but to silently giggle to herself over the lesson. The ways they could divinate things. Cats, crystals, water and ton of other things. Weird and cool. Apparently using bodily sounds to tell the future. Cinna snorted at the baby lions (Rusty) answer she couldn't help it. It was too cute. She was never getting into Emmy's candy again. She raised her hand. "Gastromancy. It's used to find omens?" That was right. right? She wasn't sure how exactly the dead was going to tell omens but she felt that she was on the right track here.

“Correct, omens were a huge part of why Gastromancy became so popular in the 1600’s.” Cinnamon got snaps for her great answer.

Natalia had never heard of such a type of divination, but she did admit that it was rather creative. Whoever came up with stomach-growl-reading must have been very bored but very imaginative...Einstein? Hurhur.

"I have no idea what it's called, but I guess it makes sense to listen to someone's stomach after they're not living anymore..." It was difficult for Natalia to justify her answer logically; she just felt that no living person would allow another person to listen to their stomachs! How weird would that be? "I mean...it is very possible to fit a tiiiiny person in the stomach." So logically, the older civilization would have believed a person could be trapped in the stomach.

Giving Natalia snaps she nodded, “It does make sense and we have evolved, but if you think about even the muggle history back then, they thought all crazy things. This form of divination has been used both by muggles and wizards. “

Okay no, not funny. She was a nice, mature, fourth year lady. And it wasn't funny. Okay it was a little bit funny. It was pretty funny but Hayden would stop laughing because she had to at least pretend it was not funny. Hopefully that wouldn't be too hard.

Hayden had no idea what that kind of divination would be called. One girl gave a very logical answer. Gastromancy. Alright that made sense. But why would they want to use that? Who would think there was any logical sense in that? Hayden did have one idea, so she raised her hand.

"Maybe they thought that after people were dead their farts were actually messages in morse code." Maybe the dead could communicate about life was like after death, but they could only communicate through farts. HAHAHAHA. Nope not funny at all.

She really wasn’t trying to be a immature child, but even at 35 she couldn’t help a small giggle at Hayden’s fart answer. “Well it’s more then just farts. Bodily noises can be gurgles throughout the stomach, have you ever felt a gas bubble in your chest? The noises don’t have to be coming fully out of your bottom or mouth to be used in Gastromancy.” Hayden certainly got snaps for her answer though.

She HAD read about this last term though, while studying for her OWLs.

Raising her hand, Lux took a shot at answering the question. "This form of Divination is called Gastromancy. Maybe it's used as a method of communicating with the dead? Because maybe if the body is fresh enough, it still makes bodily noises?" Ehhh, that was as good a guess as any.

Giving Lux snaps, Cassie nodded, “If the body is fresh enough the gasses are still moving around. Though back in the 1600’s people tried this form on graves that had been sitting for years. People get desperate when they want to communicate with loved ones and this was a way for some to do it. Though it really wasn’t the reason for Gastromancy.”

Looking to Angel Cassie gave a nod, “It is voices in the belly or so people said back then. We know now that it is gasses not actual voices. Ventriloquist is different, but many people that don’t believe in Divination started saying that Gastromancy was nothing more then them tricking the community or the grieving loved ones.” Always someone to try and say her profession was a fake, but haters would hate. Angel got snaps before she moved to the next person.

He was still smiling and happy even when they were told to stop and go sit down, even. Though... a lot more bouncy now.

It was not always such a brilliant idea to hype this not-child up.

Wait... was Prof. Cassie trying to make them gassy?

Oh boy, THIS was gonna be a hilarious lesson. Or completely embarrassing. Or both. Or neither. It would... definitely be informative, right? Bahahaha. And AH! So she DID mean literal darkness? Well THAT just made Toby even happier, and he beamed as the lights were lowered. Oh, but then death talk. Maybe THAT was the dark thing? It was all very confusing to think about.

SO... what was the name for divining using... those sounds? No idea. Still, he raised his hand to answer 'cause WHY NOT. "Gurgle-omancy?" Oh... wait, probably not, as everyone else was saying that other thing. Welp. Toby pushed ahead anyway. "And, like, you said the sounds are like someone talking. Sooooo maybe it was used on the, um... living impaired... because they would be talking from beyond the grave. Like a... a... gaseous medium."

Smiling proudly at Toby she gave him snaps, “That’s a great try, but it’s Gastromancy. Gastro for the digestive system and gas of course.” Listening to the rest she gave him another snap and nodded, “Yes, that is exactly how many described it. The dead were giving a message, so they were talking to their loved ones through these sounds.”

He smiled and said, "I will get back to you on that one.." Then he went back to his seat and thought about it. How in the bloody merlin did food have to do with Divination? I mean he couldn't think of any ideas. He heard her addressing the class. Woaaahhh she picked gassier food!? Umm....Professor Cassie do you know what you are up against? No wonder he felt his stomach bubbling.

When he heard he could burp. Kace grinned gleefully like a kid in a toy store. Don't mind I do. He was already feeling one coming on. He did a little...

"BBUURRRRPPPPPP...." and he turned around and it felt awkward but relieving at the same time. He might as well be polite, "Excuse me.." he said and couldn't help but hold back a chuckle.

This lesson was getting better and better. Props to you Professor Cassie. Props to you. He heard the term was Gastromancy because that sounded legit. He had no idea why they would use it. Kace was gonna give an answer coming out of his butt, "Professor I think they communicate using bodily functions like burping or farting because it is simple like code I guess. It is something the spirits understand. I mean they can't really speak because it is delayed but I guess simple sounds are easier to imitate to the person." That was his guess.

Oh and look someone had already started, “Very good Kace, we will talk a little later on burping, but nice to show the class the sound.” She gave him snapped not at all offended that he had just burped in class. “The noises are some what like codes, which we will talk more about later. Depending on the sound and on the number of sounds would mean different things.” Very good observation from the seventh year.

As she nibbled on some of the food on her plate, Professor Cassie asked them to get up and move around. Um… Food… Dancing… Foood… Daaancing… With a smile, she popped some more berries into her mouth and then stood up to join Rusty in dancing. She really didn’t have any good ideas for why they were eating these foods specifically, so she didn’t say anything simply listened to the others opinions and suggestions.

However, when Professor Cassie told them to sit down again, she did so with a big grin as she continued eating the yummy food on her plate. And Pepsi! In glass! How awesome was this?

Gastronomy… Hmm. Interesting.

Hand raise. ”Oh, is it not also due to the fact that when people die, their bodies are still processing the food and drink that we have eaten in the previous day? But in the 17th century, it wasn’t likely that they would know that science agreed with that - so they probably assumed it was a ghost or a demon or something.” She paused and frowned slightly. ”I think, they were paranoid about people sneezing too… Is that not where the term ‘Bless you’ comes from? They thought it would stop their souls leaving their bodies... “ Right?

Was she just rambling now? Probably. She should maybe just keep eating and listen instead of babbling

Looking to the first year, Cassie snapped happily, “Yes, very good. The body is still digesting even though the heart and brain has stopped. This goes with hair and nails as well. Muggles fearful of the diseases that took many and the unknown did start that saying for soul purposes. Very good.” Such bright student, she just adored teaching them.

Looking to Marigold, Cassie gave snaps and smiled, “Very good it is Gastromancy.”

Honestly, she was SEVENTEEN! She should be more mature than this. But she actually wasn't.

She vaguely remembered something about it, and was a but annoyed at herself for not thinking about it in the first place. Not joining the dots. Food + divination = not a party. Well, a party maybe but not the answer Professor Cassie was looking for. The bit she did remember from the gas-divination, she decided she should say. She raised her hand and waited to be called on, "People used to listen to the gut sounds and interpret it as the dead talking to them," or something like that.

Cassie turned to Zhenya next and gave her snaps, “Yes, people would listen to the sounds to interpret what the dead were saying. It has evolved to use on living as well now, but we will get to that in just a bit.” She didn’t want to get ahead of herself.

“Very good Penelope. It is Gastromancy because of the stomach.” She was getting snaps for her great answer, but she always got a little chuckle with the question. “It is sometimes, we do use it on living as well now a days.” Again they would touch on that in a moment.

She thought this argument would be the argument that would start and she tried her best not to fully laugh. She could be immature too, it happened. “Well in a way, yes, bodies do pass gas after they have passed on. The gasses in your body release along with other bodily functions.” as gross as it was it was true.




Swooshing her wand towards the board behind her desk, the word Gastromancy formed. “Wonderful answers everyone. Gastromancy is what we will be studying today. I’d like to start with what some would call the darker side to it. It was related to dark magic at one time, because people felt communicating with the dead through their bodies was something that should be left alone. “ With that she walked away from her desk with a grin on her face, “Please stand up and back away from the desks for a moment.” Watching them all she waited for all to be standing before she moved her wand changing the room to be charmed as if they were standing in the middle of a cemetery. Tapping herself with her wand her comfy clothes transfigured into a black dress, Nessa wasn’t the only one that could put on a performance, hehe, Cassie was sure to learn some tricks from her best friend.

“Now imagine we are in 1625. People used Gastromancy to speak with the dead. Some felt it was to cast the demons and curses away, while others wanted and omen, basically they wanted to know what their future would be without that person. If disease took them the spouse was trying to make sure the same disease wouldn’t come over the rest of the family. If it was a killing, the spouse was most likely trying to find out who did it. There were many different reasons for doing this, but always the same outcomes.” She walked closer to a tombstone and then turned to face the class once more.


“Now I do have a few things for you to think about. The first is, people are buried six feet below ground. How could anyone hear the stomach noises from that far down? The second thing is what is the different noises that could happen and what do you think they would mean?” She paused a moment to let them think about this. Without warning she started to sniffle and pretend cry, dramatics were super fun! “Oh goodness me, it’s 1625 and my husband has just died a horrible death from disease.” She sniffled again, “Please help me, how can I find out if I am going to have the same fate? “ She tried to stay in character, but Nessa was better, she couldn’t help but grin. “If you were the Diviner going to do this, what steps would you do to get the answers I’m looking for? Take a few minutes and discuss this with each other.” She couldn’t wait to hear their steps and responses; this was so fun minus the creepy graveyard.

So Gastromancy was believed to be dark magic at one point of time because people thought that communicating with the dead was …bad. Well, they communicated with the ghosts right? And they weren’t evil. Atleast he thought not.

After scribbling down some useful notes, Yoongi got up from his chair as the Professor told them to and watched as she changed her clothes to a black dress with a tap of her wand. Then the classroom changed and not in the good way. A second later, they were in a cemetery and if there was one thing that Yoongi did not like apart from…dead bodies and gore and sadness and stuff. Was everything combinated in a cemetery.

Looking around as if a grave would pop open and a zombie would crawl out, Yoongi followed the Professor to a tombstone. All the while he stayed close to someone, ready to grab the person’s arm if things got too scary. And no, he did not care if it was a first year. If something happened he was outta here. Possibly even screaming in fear.

‘Focus on the questions Yoongi, you’ll be fine’ he told himself. “Well, first of all I would get the hell out of here, go to a healer and put on protection spells in case the thing that got your husband gets to you” whaaaat? He wanted to get out of here! T___T

Adi popped another one of the berries Zhenya had offered him and chewed thoughtfully. Look at that. His answer had been sort of a guess but he had happened to be on the right track. Also, the nail and stuff growing even AFTER someone died? Cool! No, wait... it was beyond FASCINATING! And that burp from Kace... LOL! Better out than in, eh?

Cramming another berry in his mouth, Adi jumped up again, holding his hand out to Zhenya to help her up before moving away from the desks. WOAAAH! It was a GRAVEYARD! SUPER cool, yo! But where was the Grim Reaper? LOL! It was the subject of a future tattoo that he was going to have. Now to picture 1625... how exactly did that look? Adi supposed everything would be ancient; old looking.

Hmmm. Interesting questions. The Huffie took a moment to consider them before casting a look at the Slytherin girl beside him. "Maybe to the seeker or the person who wanted to do a reading, the gases sound louder to them alone,'' was the suggestion from him. "Um, um, how about a really loud wail like Kace's burp signalling something really dangerous?'' That was TOTALLLLLY wild guess there. Adi replayed Professor Cassie's little enactment in his head before continuing. "I think the steps would be to find a body fresh enough to head the gasses, clear the mind and then ask the question you want answers to before listening to the sounds and interpreting them.'' Clearing the mind was vital, was it not? Adi glanced towards the Professor and repeated what he had said to Zhenya earlier so that she could hear it this time, his hand up.

When a loud BUUUUURP punctuated the classroom, Lux had to LOL. Of course it would be Kace to start off the lesson for everyone. Smiling, she gave her friend a thumbs up because wow that had been a loud one. And nope, this wasn't sarcasm either.

Hmmm, so she was right about people being desperate to communicate with dead loved ones, but that wasn't the reason for this form of Divination. Honestly she couldn't remember what she had read about it because she was too busy wondering what farting and burping had to do with telling the future. Lux had a feeling that this would be an interesting lesson and she WAS curious to see where this would go.

After cramming a few food items into her mouth and hands (table manners were out the window after all), Lux stepped away from the desks... and into a cemetery. Obviously it wasn't REALLY a cemetery, but wow did it look legit. As she listened to Professor Cassie, she looked around at the different tombstones. There had been a time where she might have been scared in case ghosts came, but now she was older and not scared of ghosts anymore.

Some great questions were raised, and props to Professor Cassie for pulling a Glendower move with the dramatics. Theatre was a lot of fun even though her only experience with it so far had been in the History of Magic classroom. This wasn't the time to dwell on that stuff, though. Biting her lip, Lux became thoughtful as she tried to work out answers to the questions.

Clearly she wasn't good at this stuff, because she was stumped.

The blonde turned her head when she heard her boyfriend burp REALLY, REALLY loud! The sixth year covered her mouth and giggled. That was funny but she was pretty sure that wasn't what this lesson would be about at all. Actually she had no idea what it was that they would be doing. Emmylou happily listened to Professor Morgan and stood up. Where were they going? Or were they going to be doing some type of exercise.

Oooooh. Oh? A cemetery? Spooky.

So they were going to speak with the dead? Like people that are buried six feet in the ground and like all bones now? But who was there to speak to? Have witches and wizards always done this and would Emmylou be able to speak to her dead dog or just see him? The sixth year raised her hand. "Excuse me? Professor? Would this work on a pet that passes away?" She questioned and then began to continue. "I mean I know that dogs or anything can't talk to us but would it be possible to maybe just see them again?" That would make Emmylou happy, to see her favorite dog in the flesh or would it be in ghost form? She was excited and confused.

This... gastromancy sounded so... sketchy to Natalia. How would a dead person's stomach give any information of the future? Crystal balls, tarot cards, and stars even... they have some basis of belief (because Natalia personality thought that the predictions from these methods were rather accurate). But..listening to dead stomachs! Does that even work?

Sketchy.

Oh Merlin, so they were actually trying to mimic the situation, huh? Authentic location, time, and story line! How interesting...if this was a theater class.

"Well, I suppose since we're wizards, we always have some kind of spell to amplify sounds." Natalia tried to think of the actual spell that could magnify sounds. "Would sonorous work?' She already knew that the incantation would work on human voices but was uncertain whether it applied to...stomach noises.

What, did the professor just start...acting? Well, the acting was rather decent. To Natalia though, knowing that this was a performance aimed at personifying the situation, she couldn't help but let out a very quiet chuckle.

Natalia never had any obvious clairvoyant abilities. She would have absolutely no idea how she would interpret all the different gastric sounds. Frankly, if Natalia heard noises from the stomachs of the dead, she would be very, very scared. For this part of the question, Natalia remained silent as she had nothing useful to contribute to the class.

Don't mind us.. just.. figuring life out here.
 
What in the world was going on? Izzy stood from her desk and watched as they cleared and the graveyard scene appeared.. what was happening. was it a funeral of someone whose died?!? In class!? She watched the professor curiously as she began to.... cry................... it was her husband!? "what?" she whispered lowly. Professor Cassie was just smiling though and the girl was never more confused in her who life. Especially when she turned to them and smiled again.... "wouldn't a wife be too distraught to sit and listen to anything?" She was clearly thinking way too into this death thing and it was going to be the death of her for sure.

kayquilz 05-12-2015 10:46 PM

...what was going on? Eden one minute was EATING, then standing, then.......the room was a cemetery. O_____o WHAT? She didn't like this much...it felt eerie and weird and she knew her mother wouldn't like this at ALL. Irene McGee was not about that cemetery life. NOPE TO THE NOPE.

So Eden just glanced at all the tomb stones..and then to Professor Morgan..and widened her eyes. This class was hard. Her brain just wasn't thinking of things correctly. It was probably all the food. Eden just loved food so much ;__;

"Um...well..I wouldn't recommend digging up the body. That's always a bad idea." All horror books/movies had taught her THAT. "Um...wouldn't you just...eat food...stand near the grave and..see what your stomach did? The noises would be the dead person speaking through you?" Literally, that was what Eden had come up with. She had no idea if this was right or not.

JustAlice 05-12-2015 11:01 PM

Rowan looked around the classroom - THAT WAS NOW A GRAVEYARD HOW COOL WAS THAT - and stared at the scene before her with wide, excited eyes. "This is so cool..." she said quietly, grinning at the stuff that was happening.

...

OKAY QUESTIONS

What would the first step be to divining from a dead body??

"Oh, oh, Professor we learned a charm to shoot things into the air so you could use a charm that brought the body to the surface but probably less dramatic than the ascendare spell cause you have to be respectful of the dead." she said, nodding at the end of the sentence to prove her point.

Saz Hale 05-12-2015 11:03 PM

Abby thought and said "Well i would check my surrounds first and i would probably cast protective spells on myself and then i would maybe run if it is too dangerous" Abby wasn't one for sticking around for too long

Yeah, that'd do it.

....Zahra had no control anymore. She was wheezing from laughing so hard. MORSE CODE FARTS and losing your soul out of your butt via fart vessel and TINY PEOPLE IN YOUR BELLY making fart sounds??!??!?!?!?

Zahra was gonna die herself - of laughter.

Professor Cassie and Z hadn't always seen eye to eye (this one time, Professor Divi got her panties in a wad 'cause Z was "too rough with the crystal balls") but this..... this was great. This was REAL education right here.

"I reckon you're late to the party, Professor. See, Professor HADLEY the muggle lady said that when you die? You poop your pants. Straight up - you just poop right on the spot after you croak. So if you were wanting to hear some bowel howl ... well.... you needed to be there when old dude died. OTHERWISE..... I got a shovel!"

But mostly Zahra wanted to go back to Morse Code Farts. That was the best idea she'd heard in years.

Felixir 05-13-2015 12:05 AM

Ahhhh, well. WELL. That was close enough, see? And Toby still got snaps, even though the first part of his answer was wrong. He grinned at Professor Cassie, quite satisfied with the praise he had earned.

Oh, okay. Now they really WERE going to find out what was meant by the 'darker' side, and Toby really did pay extra super attention now. Oh... 'cause... it had to do with dead people. That kind of made sense, yeah.

At the prompting, Toby got up from his seat and moved back with everyone else, in time to see the classroom change more or less into a... a... graveyard. :mellow: No no. No thank you. Toby wasn't too sure about this. Buuuut... he wouldn't make any judgements. He'd stick with it, yes okay.

Oh, oh, oH. This was like a MYSTERY. Toby had some suggestions.

"How about a STETHOSCOPE?" he piped up. Boy, that was almost as hard to say as it was to spell. "That's used on bodies. Usually alive ones, though. And without six feet of earth in the way." Um. Hm. "Maybe we should go graverobbing."

Symphora 05-13-2015 12:08 AM

Who was that burping so loud? Henric turned to the sound and it was not surprising that it was dear old Kace.He chuckled lightly as if it was expected of him to do just that....-.-...

They were told to stand up and moved to the side, so he did. Henric was amazed how the scenery slowly transformed itself by magic,of course, from a banquet hall to a now grimmer, eerie looking setting! Woah...the classroom has turned into a cemetery?! He felt goosebumps all over his arms and neck. Henric wasn't too fond of the supernatural, a nagging sense of fear occured, what if a dementor suddenly came out from nowhere and sucked the living out of him! And then he realised, he was being ridiculous...Hogwarts would never let those things in, ever! Divination studies was sure scary sometimes!

Just in case, he stood a little closer behind llia, Leah and Noel, practically everyone who was near him. He listened to the answer given and couldn't help but give his two cents of thought too with the class.

"Professor, perhaps a divination expert would sit with the deceased relative near their grave and did some sort of a ritual? It might be possible the relative was told not to eat anything before the ritual began, and there was no doubt their stomach growled in the process, they believed that the sound the belly makes were the voices of the dead," he answered.
