GOSH!

WHAT WAS AJ YELLING ABOUT? Who was attacking her?! He was ready to go into ninja mode but then he remembered his promise to her. No being the OVER protective boyfriend. Plus, he had realised she was shouting Bob's name. His eyes snapped towards the pen just as Cassie spoke again.

What, what, WHAT? Did he hear correctly? Surely his beloved Professor had just NOT accused THEM of taking Bob? NO WAY! "Uh, Professor? I know all of us like Bob but I don't think anyone of us would steal him away from you.'' They weren't meanies. But poor Bob was anxious? "Can we take a moment to help you look for him?

UM.

SO.

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT.

The lights flickering out and back on again was weird enough, and the scream from the professor was enough to make Toby near jump out of his skin, and it all happened fast enough that in the confusion of the moment Toby didn't really pick up on anything else that was happening. All he knew was that the lights were soon back on and... something about...

Bob? Where was Bob? He was gone? What?

Toby blinked, still pretty confused and trying to process things. Bob had run away? He was missing too?

The Hufflepuff chewed worriedly on his lip and looked around the room at the others. Did Professor Cassie think that someone in here had taken him? That's what it sounded like. Maybe they just wanted to play with him or something. Toby waited to see if anyone owned up, and went from biting his lip to chewing his fingernails again.

Janelle had barely given her answer and Professor Cassie was in the middle of responding when the lights suddenly went out. She wasn't one to be afraid of the dark, but when it hit you unexpectedly........well, that was a little scary. Janelle's hand instinctively went to her wand becasuse she had paid attention to the Headmistresses constant vigilance speech. This was Hogwarts after all. What she would do with a wand in the dark, Janelle hadn't really thought through.

Just as quickly as they had gone off, the lights were back on. Everyone seemed fine, but then Janelle heard A.J. scream for Bob. He was gone. Why would anyone turtle-nap Bob? Janelle looked around to see if Bob had hidden himself somewhere out of fear. It seemed that her had vanished into thin air. Why did there always have to be drama at this school?

Hold the phones. Cassie was accusing them of stealing Bob? What? How did they know she wasn't the one playing the joke? This was a test... or not? Maybe? Ugh. She didn't know. AJ was not a Ravenclaw.

"Professor, where would we hide Bob?" Because if everybody was accounted for then there was no way Bob could be hidden to where she wouldn't be able to read them. AJ wasn't be rude about it either, she just thought Cassie was taking things a bit too far. In fact she was starting to act like Airey and he was on edge and more than happy to take points away for nothing.

"Do you think that whatever took Pebbles could have snatched Bob?" What? Everybody else was thinking it. She was just the one with a big enough mouth to say it.

One moment they were talking about divination using turtle shells, and the next they were in total darkness.

WAS THAT A HISS SHE HEARD??

Lux let out a shriek. She wished Bay was here because that sounded like a snake and she was scared of snakes. Terrified, she was shaking when the lights were turned on again.

...Bob was missing???

Oh no. OH NO.

This was bad. Not Bob. Cute little Bob who loved to play with his ball. "Professor, I think the culprit is whatever took pebbles and scared the Hippogriffs. I heard hissing...I think it was a SNAKE!" GULP.

Angel heard her sister shouting for Bob and she looked around to where he should have been and her eyes went wide with fear, he wasn't missing as well as Pebbles?

"SOMEONE CALL DOCTOR DOLITTLE!!" Angel was sure that guy could help them. "Call ANIMAL CONTROL, CALL THE NAVY, THE ARMY, CALL THE PRIME MINISTER, CALL THE MINISTER OF MAGIC!" Angel was on a mission now. "CALL THE WOMBLES!" Angel really wanted an army to help her search. "We need to find Bob!" Angel was still shaking and she could feel the tears coming down her face as she realised the Professor was there and she seemed to be mad, well of course she was her pet had been pet-nap, "Professor we need Sherlock Homes!" Angel had just realised that he was great at solving mysterious, so surely they could solve this one.

When the professor loudly called out 'OH MY GOSH', Kate jumped a little and looked at the woman with wide eyes. Ohh...the snap cup. Right. Kate had forgotten to do that, but she was proud of her daddy for overcoming his life-threatening illness and coming out on the other end healthy and alive.

Now, the steps needed to perform...

Then the lights went out, and Kate's line of thinking flatlined. She fidgeted in her seat a little, nearly moving out of it and closer to an older student. The lights came back on then, and Kate looked around frantically to see that Bob was now missing. Uhh... Somebody better start talking? Kate looked around the room. She had no idea what was going on, so she obviously couldn't offer anything.

If this wasn't planned, then Kate was sort of, kind of, maybe, definitely scared.

Kace smiled and greeted Professor Cassie with, "Oh I am fine Professor. I am just curious what we are gonna learn today." He always respected her as a teacher because she cared about her students and when Kace gave answers of his own opinion she respected them too. As Professor Cassie began the lesson, he saw the lights flickering. He tilted his head and furrowed his brow. Oh okay it might be a little power surge. Nothing to worry about maybe someone was playing a joke. Then he saw the lights flickering more and more and now this was serious. What was going on!?

He looked around and noticed his other classmates were having the same reaction he was. Well at least he wasn't crazy. Then he heard a slight hissing sound. Now that was weird. I guess a snake was coming into the room? He jumped when he heard books fall too. He had his wand at the ready just incase. He knew he didn't take Bob. "Professor I didn't take him but I am pretty sure he was someone's tasty snack from the hissing I heard."

Benny hadn't expected Professor Morgan's scream anymore than the sudden darkness. At least she seemed calm when the lights had returned. Unlike a lot of others including Angel beside him. He almost moved to reassure her but wasn't sure about being familair in a classroom setting. His attention however was turned away as the professor and many students noticed that Bob the Tortoise was missing from his pen.

Had he been pet-napped?

The Gryffindor didn't even want to think about what AJ was saying about Bob being a victim like Pebbles. "I don't think we have him..." he commented, agreeing with his friends about the fact that the class was indeed turtleless and not pulling a prank. Who would be so brash anyway? Taking a professor's pet from right in front of her and possibly causing the darkness to cover it up.

It was then Angel seemed to go off the deep end in reaction to what was going on. "Easy Angel..." he said, finally taking her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze, not caring about the others. "We'll find Bob," Benny assured her, inwardly hoping it was true. But right now he was trying to calm his girlfriend down, especially as the tears moistened her eyes.

It was dark and somehow in all of the commotion Cinna ended up in the floor. She heard the hissing but that was not a snake hiss that was for sure. She scrambled back into her seat before the lights flicked back on.

Well that was strange.

The sixth year looked around to see if anyone had seen her. Turning her brown eyes back to the front of the room. Why were people so worried about a rock? It was a rock. Easily replaced. "I don't think that was a snake hiss." She supposes the 'snake' flicked off the lights too.

She was walking around the room checking for the turtle, where could he be? He had to be somewhere. Seeing some of the students looking did make her feel better. That meant they were concerned too. Her green eyes went to Adi as he spoke, “Yes Adi it seemed everyone did like Bob, but someone in this room has taken him.” She was sure it was someone in this room. “Oh you all will be helping we have to find him.” Finding him would be easier if someone would confess in taking him.

“I’m not sure Aj, but maybe a book bag or a purse.” She eyed the girls in the room it would be easier for them to turtlenap they had purses. She couldn’t help but stare at Aj a bit and then at Lux, “Pebbles? Who is? Oh you mean that silly little rock of Professor Flamesteed?” She had forgotten all about him and that silly little rock adoption thing. So weird to her why someone would want a nonliving object for a pet. “The hissing was Bob, if you remember in the last class we discussed that a turtle makes a hissing noise as they pull their body into their shell.” They were very good hissers.

She watched Angel a few minutes before shaking her head, “Please calm down we will find Bob he has to be in this room. No one has come in or went out so the person that has taken him is right in this room.” She just had to figure out who that was. Her next glance went to Kace, [b] “You know many people say the person that is guilty is the person that first denies the guilt.”[/]b He started the sentence with I didn’t, that was a key factor in any guilt. “No the hissing came from Bob, he is still alive I can sense him, just it’s dark where he is so he can ‘t help me.”

“I know someone in this room has Bob and if you aren’t going to come out and say you have him we will have to do this a different way.” With a flick of her wand the lights lowered to a creepier glow, the room seemed a bit darker. She moved to erase the word Plastromancy and wrote Coscinomancy Turning back to the class she picked up her peppermint tea.

“Can anyone tell me what this is and what does it mean?”

Yeah, Adi was willing to help. Gosh, but AJ had a point. Pebbles, Princess and now Bob. Not forgetting as Lux mentioned the scared Hippogriffs. He remembered her hearing something back on the Walkway on the day of the mapping but he hadn't heard it then but he trusted his friend fully. He was certain she heard the same hissing. And what was with Angel, though? O__O

The Hufflepuff was impressed with his Professor's 'sight'. She could actually sense Bob? That was SUPER cool! He tilted his head at her. He was confused. Why was she accusing them like that? He never thought she would like that though. Maybe she was feeling the pressure of loosing Bob.

Okaaaay, so no Plastromancy? Alrightey then. But Adi did like the lowered lights. He liked eerie shadows casting about. Anwayyyy, back to Cassie's question. He raised his hand. "It's a method used to find offenders in a criminal act. That's what you meant when you said we'll find Bob another way...'' Ehh, that made sense but Adi was sure none of his classmates had the turtle.

Cinna didn't seem to think that the hissing came from a snake, and Professor Cassie confirmed it. "Oh." Well, that was a huge relief though she still wished that Bay was here - she always wished that he was still at Hogwarts.

It was a relief to hear that Bob was alive since the Professor could sense him. She remembered hearing about that ability back in Third Year during one of the SNAC meetings. If he was alive, where could he be? She didn't think that any of her fellow classmates had done the deed. It HAD to be the thing that had attacked the Hippogriffs, killed the pet bird, and rocknapped Pebbles.

As the word 'Plastromancy' was erased from the board and replaced with 'Coscinomancy', Lux frowned; she did not like the sound of this one bit.

After a moment she raised her hand. "It's a form of Divination that is used to determine the guilty party of a criminal act." So basically it was going to be used to determine who had taken Bob.

Cutty was smiling when the lights went out. A hapless sort of grin that managed some genuine mirth in keeping with the positivity that Professor Morgan was trying to set off in the room. When it all went dark, his first reaction was excitement, but being unfamiliar with the hissing sound he naturally clung to Beverly Wayne. She'd protect him. M'mm h'mm.

His curiosity was piqued and he became more excited than fearful when he'd heard the Professor scream. What a sound it was. He had not heretofore met another like it or known that sound had such power of resonance.

The lights were back on and he quickly let go of Beverly Wayne. Also, the ball had slowed to a full and complete stop. Bob was outty.



Accusations were flying and he didn't find them unjust or illogical. Bob was somewhere in this room. And one of these students had him. Maybe an animal lover who didn't trust that Bob would not be used in someway or another for Plastromancy. He looked around at mostly the witches in the room...'Cept Bev. If it wasn't a dragon she wasn't very likely to give a murtlaps bottom about it.

He could think of several ways of retrieving the turtle. Starting to search all dark spaces in the room for starts, maybe even summoning the turtle, but it was far more exciting to watch a courtroom drama so he left that be and raised a hand to add to the answers given by the class. "It's a very old practice. Soom muggles thought they knew how it wehrked and would actually use it to determine who was guilty or innocent in early forms of joostuss."

Merlin. Angel needed a calming potion stat. She was killing the vibe over here. Even if things got real in here, there were so many people that the odds of you getting taken out were slim. Unless you had rotten luck. AJ would show no mercy to the attacker so she wasn't scared.

Well, she didn't have a purse so that would be one less thing to search. Although, she really felt this whole thing was silly. Now, if a unicorn had gone missing then it would be wise to hog tie AJ until you found it because she would be totally guilty. But this was a turtle. Not something she was willing to stick her neck on the line for. She knew how to choose her battles.

Cassie had them there. The whole pet rock thing was pretty silly, but AJ wasn't one to be judgy. Everybody had their things. "What if you can still feel him because he hasn't been a snake snack yet?" Not trying to freak anybody out buuuut maybe they should be trying a bit harder to save Bob's life. Yeah? If AJ was going to go around snatching up rocks and turtles she was going to have a good time with it. If you snarfed them down right away... well, where was the fun in that? Savoring the moment. That was what she was talking about.

It was dark again. Only this time she could still see. This was getting interesting again. "Professor, can we call on the spirits to help locate Bob?" What? She was totes setting the mood for that.

Coscinomancy? Uh, no.

"Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me..." Yup, the professor had lost her marbles. But, could they for real call on the spirits?

Where was Bob? Janelle could not believe that one of her classmates would kidnap him. Maybe she was just being a naive second year, but she just couldn't see it. There were those who liked to play jokes,, but stealing someone's pet was taking it a bit too far.......especially a professor's pet.

Professor Cassie seemed to believe that one of the students was guilty though and it was clear that she meant to find out who it was. When she brought up coscinomancy, Janelle drew a blank. She was not familiar with what she assumed was another form of Divination. The older students did know about it and Janelle listened as they shared their knowledge with the class. It seemed like Professor Cassie was about to go "Judge Judy" on them.

Okay. Okay. Okayokayokay.

People were yelling and someone had suggested Bob had been eaten and Lux had brought up the Hippogriffs and Toby was starting to feel extra anxious like he had that day and Professor Cassie was being kinda mean about Pebbles who was STILL MISSING WHICH WAS SO SAD AND ALL THE NEGATIVE FEELINGS WERE HAPPENING. He felt an uncomfortable knot form in his stomach as he watched the professor look about the room and address the class and he suddenly didn't really want to be here.

And then the room was darker and at first it seemed like they were moving on from the issue of Bob but it seemed like that wasn't the case. She was probably going to try and See who had him. Okay, cool, good. Then everything could get back to normal or something. Or maybe class would end. Hopefully the latter, because Toby had himself a sudden sad.

Instead of speaking, he folded his arms on his desk and rest his chin on them, more interested in pretending that he was a room in a happier atmosphere than in finding out who had Bob.

Angel suddenly felt a squeeze on her hand and she looked up and she saw that it was her boyfriend Benny, she was about to say something when the Professor spoke and Angel squeeze her boyfriend hand back and gave him a small smile. "I hope so." Angel tried her hardest to stop the tears.

Angel raised her hand. "Professor it uses a suspended sieve doesn't it." Angel wasn't sure and her mind was blank with what was going on with Bob. "It's too help you decide who is the culprit right?"

This lesson was growing more interesting by the second. They were being accused of having kidnapped Bob. Beverly, of course didn't have anything to worry about. If she was to steal anything it'd be a dragon egg. Even then, stealing wouldn't even be necessary.

Oh, now it was a snake? So scaaary. Beverly Wayne was unimpressed. The only snake they should worry about was right here, with a Cutty Mordaunt who had been clinging to her moments ago. They boy was smart though 'cause nothing would get pass her and hurt her friend, just FYI. Her patience was running low, though.

Coscinomancy.

Her eyes narrowed. "This is all part of the lesson," she whispered low enough so only Cutty could hear her. This was an act. Had Morgan been frightened for Bob's safety then she wouldn't be drinking tea. At least, Beverly wouldn't. She'd be blasting walls for her creatures.

Her hand went up into the air. "A tool--a sieve is used to perform this form of divination. According to some, if the sieve rotated at the sound of the accused person's name, they were guilty of whatever crime." Which is redundant. "Tongs or shears were also used, but in different manners."

Morgan had Bob.

Cinna watched as professor Cassie walked around the room. Her brown eyes looking around for bob too. Where did the little turtle go? Who took him? Shame on them. Such a cute little pet. She sat quietly in her seat. See she remembered that turtles hiss before retreating to its shell. Cinna was slightly amused by AJ's theatricals. Or was the Angel? She needed a twin or a really good partner in crime. Wait she has one of those already.

That was the thing with twins they looked alike. Maybe one of them did it, or both? But she wasn't going to make any accusations. That was what made you look guilty. Cinna couldn't help but to laugh when Cassie said that to Kace. Maybe he did do it.

Oh... Coscinomancy? Oh she knew this one. Finding out a thief or proving someone's guilt. "Professor don't you use a sieve or scissors. Which rotate toward the guilty party or person in question."

Bob was GONE? Norah threw a panicked look over at Professor Cassie. Who would take Bob? Cutie patoootie little Bob. It had to be a really mean kind of person, for sure. Unless it wasn't a person at all, but something....else. At that thought, she began to tap her fingers on the table, keeping in rhythm with her feet tapping on the floor. She tap tap tapped, eyes trained on her sparkly shoelaces, and watched the glitter reflect the funny lighting in the classroom. There. That wasn't nearly as dreadful as thinking about what horrid things could happen to Bob.

When Professor Cassie began to speak, the fourth year looked up at her but caught Bob's empty cage in the corner of her eye. That sent her gaze right back down again as she silently tap tap tapped her feet and fingers. She didn't know what that other -omancy thing was, anyways. The word sounded an awful lot like "casserole" but that was hardly the type of thing you could talk about when poor little Bob and all his cuteness had been snatched. Casseroles weren't even that fun to talk about normally.

So...

No one was going to fess up and admit they took Bob, well she had her ways to find him. As she glanced around the room she had her thoughts on who had taken him.

She gave Adi a few snaps, "It is a method that helps find offenders in a criminal act and it's exactly what I meant by finding him another way. If no one is going to confess then I have other ways. You never lie to a Divinor they always find the truth."

"Very good Lux, this form has been used many times in courts and practiced by wizards to figure out who was lying and who was telling the truth." Exactly what she would be doing today.

"Oh my friend it can and will determine who the guilty is. I have practiced this form of Divination many times and it is always accurate in what I need to find out." She actually enjoyed her practice in this form so this was a bit exciting.

Bev got a small smile and snaps, "Very good, the sieve does rotate if the person is guilty. That was the best way to find if someone was lying. There are many other ways, but for today this will help us find the turtlenapper."

Her eyes moved to Cinna and sat for a moment she nodded her head, "Scissors were used as well as other sharp objects to scare the guilty to come clean before it moved towards them, but some just try until they can't try anymore to keep their secret a secret."


"In the 17th century is when Coscinomancy began in Greece. The people used a sieve to determine if a person was guilty of crime. With Coscinomancy the guilty party will sit in a chair and the sieve is either hung or set in front of the person." She walked around for the dramatics looking and eyeing each as she passed. "The leader or judge would ask the guilty party if they had done the crime, if they said they did not the Divinor would step up. Using their wand, or as Cutty said the muggles would recite magical conjurations over the sieve." Were they keeping up so far?

"Now since we weren't going to do this to begin with I will need to grab the sieves so give me a moment." She headed for the back of the room and pulled out a cart from the closet with sieves. "Each of you will take a sieve for you and your partner." Talking as she moved the cart up to the front of the room.

"Can anyone guess what spell we say with our wand touching the sieve?"

Snap, snap, snapsss!

Adi got his snaps and he happily made his notes as Cassie moved onto the other students. He was still convinced none of the others had taken little Bob. Gosh, he was so trusting of persons! Notes done, he set down his quill and eyed the cart. Partner? Whoooo was going to be the lucky one to work with him? Adi's eyes fell on Lux.

"Hey, Lux. Wanna work together?" he mouthed to her as he tried to get her attention. Maybe she wasn't as rubbish as he was at this subject. He would grab a sieve for them both if she agreed but about Cassie's question. Uhhh...."A version of 'Revelio'?'' Adi suggested with his hand up. "Liar Revelio... or something...'' Ugh! That was so lame, Rehman! Was there even such a spell?

Cinna wrote down a few notes since they were talking and apparently doing a new form of divination. New topic. New notes. She answered the question and took more notes on what professor Cassie was saying. Other sharp objects? She looked up at the professor and then give her a small smile before looking back down at her notes.

She continued taking a few more notes. Partners? She looked around, deciding to get up, get a sieve and a partner. "Anyone want to partner up?" Not knowing an answer to the next question she stood there quietly wanting on a partner. But she did believe that the spell would be something close to what Adi had said.

Kate honestly had no idea what was going on. Yes, she was a Ravenclaw, but that only meant she could think things through really well. It did not ever mean she had all the answers. She had no idea what the form of Divination was, but she paid attention as the professor told them about it. Kate also chanced a look around the room to a few of her nearby classmates. Had somebody really taken Bob, or was the professor just carrying through with something she'd planned?

Kate was unsure of a lot of things, but what she was sure of was that she wanted to partner with an older student who might have a better idea of what was going on. "I do," she said, turning toward Cinna. She'd met Cinna a year and a half ago when she was about to be a little firstie. They hadn't talked since, so Kate had no idea if the girl would remember her. When the sieves came by her, Kate collected one, still not sure what to do with it.
