As you come through the trap door there are a few things you are going to see first. Clouds, many clouds, the room is looking more like you just stepped off a muggle airplane in midair then the divination tower. The room has been charmed to look like you are walking on fluffy clouds. The next thing you will see are big comfy looking bed chairs placed around the room. Big enough to fit at least three people. The calming music and lavender smell will be familiar to all the older students as Professor Cassie wants calm and positive vibes coming into the room.
Professor Cassie is sitting on her own comfy looking bed chair and grinning as you walk into the room. Sipping on her usual peppermint tea. There is plenty for everyone and the front table has tea kettles and cups available. There is a new notice on the board that students should read.

There is a basket full of buttons. Please put these on while you are in this class. These positive buttons will show you how they work soon.
SPOILER!!: buttons
These positive buttons have been charmed to blurt out positive complements to anyone who walks by. Please go ahead and Rp your button by using a different color!! Be as creative as you'd like.
You can't start a Divination class without the Snap cup and of course it is sitting in the middle of the front table along with pink parchment for you to use.

"I'm quite well, thank you for asking, Professor.'' Not yet panicking about NEWTs. Nope. "Oh, you're welcome.'' Adi gave her another big smile before moving off.
...................
HAHA! That button Benny had was AWESOME! "You, little button, have got a great taste in hairstyles.'' As Adi sat next to his firend, he made a distinctive noise in his throat. He was trying to keep his mouth shut from saying that he would very much like to burn the dragon and replace it with something else. JUST INCENDIO THE THING! But being the VERY caring bestie, he held his tongue. Yes, he had known the stuffed thing Benny had gotten was given to him by... her. Not using any names.
....................
Squishing his Hippogriff like a kid, Adi looked around at the other students. Ava seemed to have a thing for giraffes. He tucked this bit of information away in his brain. But then he focused on Cassie when she began reading the snap cup entries. Pretty neat entries, guys!
Notes? Yup! He could take his notes quite comfortably... if he just put Bruce down to the side opposite of where Benny was to him. Annnnnd there went the first question! The Hufflepuff raised a hand. "Maybe we're studying the meanings of dreams,'' he suggested. "We'll probably have to take a nap and try to decipher our dreams using happenings or objects in them and this setting...''He gestured to the beds, clouds, stuffed toy and their attire... "Will help us out with that.'' This was just a random guess here. Heh.

Nodding at Professor Morgan's question, Paulina had to agree that it was a lovely day. "Very much so." And she was rather comfortable sitting back in her bed chair. She had taken up an entire one by herself, and was taking the opportunity to relax.
The snapping, however, brought her back to attention slightly. She wasn't entirely sure what the purpose of it was, but rules were rules and she supposed it was a way to acknowledge people's accomplishments. She threw in a few more snaps for good measure since the Professor seemed to enjoy them.
As the first question was asked, Paulina raised her hand. "Are we going to be studying dreams? Because beds and clouds fit perfectly with that. They are relaxing and help put you to sleep. Things like desks are counter-productive as far as that is concerned." Goodness, she was getting tired again just by sitting back in her bed chair!
Unsure what to expect from this class, Sabbath already had his doubts as he was supposed to wear his PJ’s to class! Well, he was adamant he was not going to turn up in his usual boxer shorts. So instead he slipped on a pair of his capoeira training pants and a black tank shirt and headed to class.
He’d overheard someone earlier muttering that this class had its head in the clouds. But now, after popping up through the trapdoor in the floor, he wondered if he’d misheard- Had they said ‘bed’ in the clouds? Because that was what he'd been faced with. He had greeted the Professor and approached the snap cap while attatching a badge. He paused in thought:

I am glad to have learned about sticky shoes
Then, he crossed the room and chose a free bed. He wondered if Nells was going to turn up?

Little Burton? Her brown eyes widened when she heard someone call her that. And there's only one person. "Hey Zeke." The young lioness greeted him back and chuckled when she heard his button complimented her eyebrows. Hehehe.
"You have a cute smile."
Oops?
And there's Blaise Bellaire too sitting beside her. "Hey Blaise!" And a Slytherin boy who seemed like a first year too. "Hello, Oliver. I'm Ava." She introduced herself.
----------------
And the class had started! Boo, no horror stories.
"Professor?!" Ava said as she raised her hand. "Because after this class you're gonna throw a sleepover party?" GRIN.

He was beaming, because he was hoping there would be a reaction to the nickname... unlucky for him, there wasn't. And just WHAT was wrong with his button? Seriously? Eyebrows? What?
...
And if that wasn't funny enough, Ava's button wasn't much better.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
"Whhhyyyy, thank you," he mused, pleased with the compliment even if it did come from a button.

Through the trap door went Adi! "Hello, Professor Cassie!'' He smiled brightly at one of his favourite Professors. "You look lovely as always." Oh! He had introduce his stuffed toys! Yah, toys. As in plural. He had brought his two stuffed Hippogriffs: the one Ariel had helped him make in his first year at the Prefect's event named Bruce (aka Batman) and the one Ilia had gotten him for his last birthday named Barry (aka The Flash). "Say hi to Bruce and Barry, Professor. I couldn't decide which to bring so I brought both.''
Adi turned to read the stuff on the board. Cool! Buttons! He snagged one, pinned it to his Green Lantern pajamas before bounding over to the Snap Cup then wandered over to find a seat. Ava, Zeke, Blaise and Hady got grins or waves while Benny had the honour of putting up with his silly bestie. "Yo, Benny. The Superhero Squad is here.'' Hehe. Today he was the Green Lantern flanked by Batman and The Flash.
But didn't Benny bring a stuffed toy? How sad. No one should be without a stuffed toy. "Here. You can borrow Barry for the lesson since you didn't bring a toy.'' Adi held out the Hippogriff. Of course he was keeping Bruce. Batman was the best, you know.
As the room started to fill, Zeke peered around to see who else was here, and as he did so caught sight of Adi's wave. He returned it with a solemn nod of his head. Yo, dude.
SPOILER!!: Norah

She hadn't followed the rules exactly as they'd been stating, bring her SECOND favorite stuffed animal instead of her very favorite, 'cause last time Professor Cassie had practically STOLEN their animals and Leo the Lion was way too special for that. So here was Pem the Pig, who was much more on board with adventure, and who she'd pretended to leave home with the rest of her animals where they'd been hidden under her bed after 4th year because she was much too old for such things. Being old wasn't as much fun as it was supposed to be, though, so Pem and Leo had snuck along in her trunk. Y'know, just for some fresh Hogwarts air. It was the humane thing to do. The Prefect was wearing her PJs though, the purple ones with the yellow polka dots that clashed wonderfully with her hair.
She knelt down in front of the snap cup and wrote down her proud moment and picked up a button. She'd show them they were WRONG, uh huh. And Professor Moxley could be proud too. And Culloden, if he knew how to be proud. The pin was fastened right under her badge (which she'd pinned to the front of her t-shirt as well, just in case it was needed. You never knew).
Norah took the last available space on the bed thing with Hady and Zeke, and opened her mouth to say hello. Her pin beat her to it. Your sneezes sound like a chorus of angels giggling She looked down at the pin with one eyebrow raised. How did it know what angel giggling sounded like? HOW did it know what their sneezes sounded like? Man. That was a pin with a lot of experience.
He was wondering who might join Hady and himself on this ridiculous bed thing, it was WEIRD having beds in class. Like, those two didn't go well. It was not a done thing... until now. His hazel eyes followed Norah as she approached their bed chair, and he nodded her a welcome - and would have verbalised it too had her button not been as ridiculous as his had been moments ago.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
"Thanks?" he smirked, shuffling over slightly to make more room for her. It was as he was shifting that his own button responded with a compliment of its own.
"Your teeth are so clean I feel dirty just looking at them."
....... ... "Hey." Yeah. HEY.

Her lessons had fully brought her bubbly side back out and she was smiling and as chipper as ever sipping her tea. Seeing the trap door open she moved a bit on her seat to smile at the first to arrive.
Seeing Zeke come in the room Cassie snapped to welcome him, “Hello Zeke, how are you?” Looking down at her clothes she chuckled, “Well thank you! I do enjoy Pj day!” She had it once before in her room, but today it worked so well with the lesson.
Looking towards the class she took another sip of her tea. “Hello once again everyone. If we can get settled and comfy in our beds we are about to get started. You might have seen some of the new rules that were posted, it is time to have some fun with learning. She loved that they were all to be positive. Picking up her snap cup she looked at the class as she started to pull moments out. Speaking each one and then snapping after, “I am proud that I am making new friends.” I really appreciate how capable my quick quotes quill is turning anything into a brilliant story.” I am glad that I did not die after climbing all of those stairs to get here” Once she was finished reading every single moment and snapping for all of them she placed the cup down. They were all snapping, weren’t they? “Very good, I love all your moments! You all deserve extra snaps.” Extra snaps she did!
[b] “Now as you notice the room is very different today. I hope you are all comfortable, but please make sure you are able to take notes. You will need them for later. ‘ “First thing though, why beds? Why would I hold a lesson in this type of room? Isn’t it smarter to have desks and a place you can focus?” She started walking around the room and her slipper claws moved. “I want you to take a moment and think about why I would place beds and clouds into a room. Why would I do this and not something else?” With all the forms of Divination she had learned there could be a few that beds could be involved, but only one would be today’s lesson.
She turned to the first person with their hand raised and motioned for an answer.
The snaps... OH THE SNAPS... he didn't like them, but he lived with them. "Not bad, Professor." Life could be worse, he could have a grim waiting around the corner for him. Buuuttt anyways.
Zeke didn't want any tea, and he didn't want to sleep or have induced sleep or any form of sleep right now... no dreams. Please. Trying to keep thoughts from his mind he fidgeted with his self inking quill and his notebook. Maybe they'd be reading tealeaves? From the comfort of a bed? That sounded... pleasant enough.
The snapping continued, and he subconsciously went along with it, though his snaps didn't have the same enthusiasm or rhythm as the Professors.
His fears were confirmed when she started asking about the beds, and WHY the beds... and nope, nope, NO. He didn't want this to be a thing.
Letting the others answer, Zeke just sat there, a look of distaste clearly etched on his face.
Angel blushed as she remembered that it was November, this is what happened when she was so upset about different things that had happened this year already, it felt like it should be April but it wasn't.
Angel raised her hand and then she tried to think of something that you would use a bed for. "Professor are we studying Scrying, I think that you need a clear mind, so that would be why the beds are here, to help us clear our mind." Angel sighed, this was going to be hard for her if it was the case.
Zander didn't have any designated pajamas. He normally went with a tshirt and sweatpants approach, so that's what he decided to opt for today. Just that. And 11:30 wasn't exactly a hop-right-out-of-bed-and-head-to-class time... So he had to go down for breakfast, then for his first class of the day, then climb all the way back up to the Gryffindor towers to get into his "pajamas", just to walk over to the divination tower. It's a good thing divinations was near Gryffindor. Made things loads easier.
Also, he didn't have a stuffed animal? Well no, okay he had one. But it wasn't even because he needed it. There was that one time in Fifth Year when Eden McGee had a first year leave a stuffed snake plushie in his dormitory for him. Fifth Year was rough, okay? So he kept the plushie. And that's what he brought to class. The snake. It was a weird choice of animal for a Gryffindor, but it was a gift, alright?
Ahem. ANYWAYS. What the heck was going on with the classroom? Firstly, why clouds? Secondly where were the chairs? Thirdly... Were those beds? Weird. All really weird. So weird that it made the weird rules look almost normal. So he walked over to the snapcap, pretty used to the routine by now. "Uh, 'morning, Professor.... I feel like I'm back in my dormitory," you know, with the beds... But without the lavender smell stuff and the pink and the clouds... Actually, it was nothing like his dorm.
SPOILER!!: snapcup
I guess, I'm thankful that Toddles and I are buds now because my chocolate frogs haven't been disappearing as much lately.
And he grabbed a button too before looking for an empty... bed? "Anyone sitting here?" he nodded at the bed Candice was sitting on. This was too weird. Also the button had a few words to say too...
"You've got really pretty hair AND OOOH YOUR NAILS look dazzling,"
Uh. So the buttons said weird adjectives like dazzling ? Okaaaaaaaaaay..... Weird.

Unfortunately this giant teddy was the only stuffed animal she could find. (Wonder why?) Plus it was her favorite stuffed animal, Bart had gotten it for her one valentines day. So yeah, her favorite one.
Cinna walked through the trapdoor, well tossing the bear up the trapdoor first then herself. No she didn't throw herself up there. She picked the bear up and carried it again. Obviously with the size it looked like there was a giant teddy was attending class now, as she walked passed professor Cassie she peaked around the bears shoulders, "Good morning, professor Cassie." Big smile and grabbing a button. Wait it was still morning right? It felt like morning, They all were still in pjs and stuff. She sat the bear back down to right down the snap cup.
SPOILER!!: snap cup
I'm proud of myself because I finally know what I want to do as a career when I leave Hogwarts.
Okay Mr. Bear. Let's find a place to sit. Beds? Okay. And the sky. Was this a dream? It had to be. She seen a spot next to Zander and the younger girl Candice that's where she was going. "Hey, Zander we're sitting with you guys, okay?" Tossing the bear on the bed. Sorry Zander if you get bear slapped in the face. Mr. Bear has rather large arms. Button on.
"You smell of bacon and chocolate frogs"
Haha she'd just sit on Mr. Bear's lap. Extra comfy! Hehe. Was there tea? She better skip the tea. She would definitely fall asleep then.
As soon as Candice sat down, she saw Yoongi entered the classroom and heard something about her nails being cute? before she could responded to the Yoongi' button, he already walked past her towards another beds.
After seeing what the button could do, Candice decided to try hers. But when she was about to press it, Zander was looking at her bed. Okay that's sounds weird. "Nope. Not that I know of." So the Head Boy was welcome to sit here. And she didn't need the button to inform her that her hair was nice and her nails looked dazzling, she already knew that. But hearing a compliment always nice even though its from a button.
"Not a bad bush you have there. I approve." Apparently her button had its own brain.
Not long after the Head Boy arrived, another older Gryffindor joined them. "Hey, Cinna." And sure she's welcome to join them.
“You have the prettiest skin. How do you get it to glow like that?”
Well, the button wasn't wrong on that.
SPOILER!!: Professor

The snapping was kinda weird. She need sometime to get used to it. Quite possibly the whole term. "I'm good, Professor." A little bit sleepy all thanks to the atmosphere in the room.
And the class was finally started.
The reason behind why she arrange the classroom looking like this?
Candice raised her hand before she answered the question "Dreams. I think we're going to learn something about dreams? Dreams interpretation maybe?" She offered.

So it was okay to not have a stuffed animal for this class? Yoongi sighed in relief. He did have a stuffed animal, more than one actually but they were all at home in a closet and he had completely forgotten to ask his parents to send him one with the owl post.
He shuffled on the bed chair until he sat indian style with his legs and looked at the other Gryffindor girl (Olympia) who was still staring at him. Raising an eyebrow, Yoongi looked back and chuckled when she quickly looked away when she realized she had been staring. “My beauty is that breath-taking it’s hard to look away, right?” haha! “Just kidding” NOT, he was completely serious. “Hello, I’m Yoongi” he smiled.
Oh! Class began. The Gryffindor got out his notebook and pink flamingo quill when the Professor told them to write notes. Hearing all the dream related answers to the first question, something Yoongi had thought as well but since everyone was giving those answers already he decided to –SNAP SNAP SNAAAAP- his fingers enthusiastically.

It was Janelle that was next, Cassie snapped and smiled, “Hello, how are you today? I just love your Pajamas.” Giraffes were cute.
Looking towards the class she took another sip of her tea. “Hello once again everyone. If we can get settled and comfy in our beds we are about to get started.

As Professor Cassie responded to her greeting, Janelle smiled. "I'm fine professor. I hope you are well today." It seemed that she was. The professor was her usual perky self and that was good. When she complimented her on her pajamas, Janelle said, "Thank you". "Giraffe's are my favorites so I love these pajamas."
When Janelle realized that they really had to sit/lie on these beds, she awkwardly climbed aboard and tried to make herself comfortable. Just as she did, class was called to order and Professor Cassie began to speak. Janelle tried to follow directions and postition herself for optimal note taking. It was not easy. When the first question was posed, Janelle raised her hand. She already had an idea about what they would be doing today and now was the time to share it.
"Will be be working on dreams today?" Pajamas, beds, clouds. All they were missing was the sheep to count. What else could they possibly be doing today?

Oh look, there was Olly too! The boy grinned over at the Slytherin when he joined him and Ava on the bed chair. It was even better when you got to sit next to friends in class--especially less pressuring classes that he actually enjoyed. It made him re-think his stance on this whole school thing.
Blaise sipped contently at his tea and listened as his own entry was read to the class. Hear that quill buddy? He appreciated you.
"I think it's 'cause you understand how stressful our other lessons are and wanna make it even a little easier for us to cope, Professor. It's really nice of you." NODNODNOD. Maybe next time he would put that he appreciated HER in his snap cup. It was certainly true.
Of course, all that talk of dreams could have been true too. He didn't know. There was still a lot that he didn't know.

SPOILER!!: Zeke
With the arrival of Hady, claiming one of the spots beside him, he smiled briefly before returning her greeting, "Hey." And because he could say anything more, his button did the rest.
"You're cooler than the other side of the pillow."
She smiled lightly at him however the smile turned into a quiet giggle at the compliment from the button he was wearing. Her own button the decided apparently that it couldn't be outdone and spoke up.
"Your smile could make even the saddest person smile."
Hady blinked a few times poking at the button she was wearing. Uh-huh button go on then and speak exactly what she was thinking. Was it possible her button was taking the thoughts straight from her head?!
SPOILER!!: Norah
Norah took the last available space on the bed thing with Hady and Zeke, and opened her mouth to say hello. Her pin beat her to it. Your sneezes sound like a chorus of angels giggling She looked down at the pin with one eyebrow raised. How did it know what angel giggling sounded like? HOW did it know what their sneezes sounded like? Man. That was a pin with a lot of experience.
Before she could say anything in reply to Zeke or either of their buttons they were being joined on their bed/seat thing. As Zeke shifted over to make room Hady also did the same just a little bit. There now it wouldn't be like they were all squished. Once more a button, this time Norah's got to say something and she laughed quietly. Geez these things were strange however she gave the older girl a small grin.
There wasn't any time for anything more to be said as she had to take out her parchment and quill to begin her note taking. Silently she listened to what was being said and wrote down everything in her fine small script, pausing occasionally to snap along with everyone else. When the question was asked about beds and such she raised a hand, "Beds and clouds are usually a sense of peacefulness. It makes people sleepy and relaxed...so whatever we're working on today we most likely need to be calm and relaxed for." Yeah she wasn't going to mention dreams and the like. Enough people were probably thinking that already.

Why beds in the classroom? Henry wasn't completely sure and he didn't really think they'd be taking naps during the lesson. Did teachers even allow that? He remembered another boy getting into trouble at his primary school for falling asleep during a lesson so he didn't think that would be allowed here. And he didn't know enough about Divination to really venture a guess without feeling self-conscious, but hearing a couple people say dreams sounded like it made sense. The 11 year old seemed to remember something about dream interpretation and it sounded like a divination type of thing.
He didn't add to the answers because one, a lot of people said dreams already and two, he was growing increasingly distracted looking at the cloud covered floor. It was super cool and he had already been distracted enough walking on it as he entered the class, but he couldn't stop thinking about how it worked. It was only when he heard the voice coming from the button pinned on his dragon pajamas that he snapped out of his thoughts.
"What a GREAT answer!"
Hmm? Henry wasn't sure exactly what had been said being a little distracted, though it had come from the girl on the bed chair next to him. Oh right... he gave her a snap of his fingers. That's what they were supposed to do, right?

SPOILER!!: Welcome
Smiling at the first year Cassie gave snaps, “Hello dear, how are you? Oh no, no horror stories will be in here.” She did not care for horror stories and wanted some happy fun for today’s lesson, though she would touch on the dark just a little.
Seeing Zeke come in the room Cassie snapped to welcome him, “Hello Zeke, how are you?” Looking down at her clothes she chuckled, “Well thank you! I do enjoy Pj day!” She had it once before in her room, but today it worked so well with the lesson.
“Thank you Hady, I do love my slippers!” She looked at her feet and wiggled her toes inside the slippers. When she walked the claws moved which was super fun, but they could all see that later. Giving a few snaps for her greeting as well!
Snapping for Angel she smiled, “Thank you, I do like yours as well!” Though being that it was November and they had class many times she wasn’t sure what the summer comment was. It was okay though, no need to say anything she just grinned at the eager students!
The first years were the best! She loved when they joined her class. They were always so excitable and the face on Blaise was priceless. “I always enjoyed the walking on air comments as a child and now it feels like we really are.” She snapped and looked around the fluffy room.
Giving more snaps she grinned towards Benny, “Hello there! Hope you are having a great day.” She wanted all her students to have great days!
Watching as more students came in and grinning as she started hearing the buttons, Cassie snapped happily. “Hello Oliver, nice to see you!” Oh she felt like she could feed off their energy, the more that came into the room the more excited for the lesson to start she got.
Seeing another student come into the room Cassie snapped to great her. “Hello”
Seeing Adi she snapped to greet him. “Adi, hello, how are you?” She gave a grin as he complimented her. “Thank you”
Snapping as Norah walked in she grinned, “Thank you, everyone looks just splendid today in their Pajamas don’t they?”
Snapping for Candice as she walked into the room, “Hello, I’m fabulous! How are you dear?” She took a sip of her tea. It was time to worm up her throat for talking!
Yoongi was the next to come in the room, “It is fine, you didn’t need a stuffed animal or toy for class today, it was just a suggestion if you would like one.” Trying to give an encouraging smile as he went to sit.
Wow Cassie was always told she was excitable, but this one, this one could give her some competition. She smiled and snapped for her, “Hello, yes you are.” chuckling as she watched her head to her seat.
“Well Zander if you have these nice of beds in your dorm I think you are very lucky.” She chuckled half joking. Snapping to greet him as well she watched as more students came into the room.
“Cinna hello, how are you doing today?” She had just seen the seventh year, but it was always nice to see them again!
“Hello” She snapped to the first year as he came in and soon she was giggling. She couldn’t help it, it was so funny and adorable at the same time. “Dear buttons don’t flirt. It is just giving you a compliment.”
Another seventh year came into the room and Cassie smiled and snapped, “Hello dear, lovely day isn’t it?”
It was Janelle that was next, Cassie snapped and smiled, “Hello, how are you today? I just love your Pajamas.” Giraffes were cute.
She knew this one the minute he walked in. Annie’s son! She adored that he was in her classes now, though she missed Annie. It was great to have her son. Laughing and snapping as the button spoke up she grinned, “Why thank you. I do like them myself.”
As it was almost time to get started she noticed another student come into the room and started snapping. “Good morning, how are you?” Looking down at the floor she sat not sure what he meant and then it hit her. “Oh gosh no, I change this room all the time.” She planned to do it at least once today.
Looking towards the class she took another sip of her tea. “Hello once again everyone. If we can get settled and comfy in our beds we are about to get started. You might have seen some of the new rules that were posted, it is time to have some fun with learning. She loved that they were all to be positive. Picking up her snap cup she looked at the class as she started to pull moments out. Speaking each one and then snapping after, “I am proud that I am making new friends.” I really appreciate how capable my quick quotes quill is turning anything into a brilliant story.” I am glad that I did not die after climbing all of those stairs to get here” Once she was finished reading every single moment and snapping for all of them she placed the cup down. They were all snapping, weren’t they? “Very good, I love all your moments! You all deserve extra snaps.” Extra snaps she did!
[b] “Now as you notice the room is very different today. I hope you are all comfortable, but please make sure you are able to take notes. You will need them for later. ‘ “First thing though, why beds? Why would I hold a lesson in this type of room? Isn’t it smarter to have desks and a place you can focus?” She started walking around the room and her slipper claws moved. “I want you to take a moment and think about why I would place beds and clouds into a room. Why would I do this and not something else?” With all the forms of Divination she had learned there could be a few that beds could be involved, but only one would be today’s lesson.
She turned to the first person with their hand raised and motioned for an answer.
Olympia jumped slightly as the Professor began to talk, but soon relaxed and listened intently to what she was asking them. Hm. Why beds? Well.. why had she given them all beds to sit on; Olympia certainly didn't know. She bit her lip and looked around at her class mates, listening to their answers and remembering to SNAP when appropriate.. which was a lot. Call her dramatic, but her fingers were definitely starting to ache, and they were only five minutes into the lesson.
Slowly, the Gryffindor raised her hand in the air. "You could have given us beds to help us relax, Professor?" Olympia took a breath before continuing. "I mean, if we're all relaxed and comfortable on something nice other than a hard chair, then we'll be able to interpret or see what we're meant to be seeing a bit easier or.. something." She trailed off. Whilst fiddling with one of her blonde curls her mind went into over drive. Had that even made sense?!?! It had made sense in her head.. "The clouds are really nice aswell.. very pretty." The lioness quickly added, returning her gaze to the enchanted clouds above them once more for a few seconds before returning her attention to the class. She smiled.

He shuffled on the bed chair until he sat indian style with his legs and looked at the other Gryffindor girl (Olympia) who was still staring at him. Raising an eyebrow, Yoongi looked back and chuckled when she quickly looked away when she realized she had been staring. “My beauty is that breath-taking it’s hard to look away, right?” haha! “Just kidding” NOT, he was completely serious. “Hello, I’m Yoongi” he smiled.
Oh! Class began. The Gryffindor got out his notebook and pink flamingo quill when the Professor told them to write notes. Hearing all the dream related answers to the first question, something Yoongi had thought as well but since everyone was giving those answers already he decided to –SNAP SNAP SNAAAAP- his fingers enthusiastically.
Olympia blinked, raising an eyebrow of her own. Was he being serious orrr...? She was unsure, but chose to roll with it when he spoke again. Grinning, her eyes flew to the boy's pink flamingo quill. All his stuff was very pink and pretty; Olympia couldn't quite work out which year he was in.
"That's a nice name." She replied. "I'm Olympia.."

"You smell of bacon and chocolate frogs"
Haha she'd just sit on Mr. Bear's lap. Extra comfy! Hehe. Was there tea? She better skip the tea. She would definitely fall asleep then.

But hearing a compliment always nice even though its from a button.
"Not a bad bush you have there. I approve." Apparently her button had its own brain.
Not long after the Head Boy arrived, another older Gryffindor joined them. "Hey, Cinna." And sure she's welcome to join them..[/COLOR]
"Cool," he grinned at Candice before sitting down.... Nice bush? He ran a hand through his hair, trying to decide for himself if it was a bush or not. What. And then, just as Zander settled and grabbed some parchment from his bag, they had a new arrival to the bed chair thing. Uh. "Hey Cinna!" he smiled, noting her HUGE bear. How in Merlin's name did she manage to lug that thing here all by herself. Looked massive. Probably need an army to get that thing around. He was almost impressed.
And yes, he did get a slap in the face with Mr. Bear's furry arm. But no harm done. Just some fuzz in mouth. Blegh. Aheeeeeeem.... Bacon and chocolate frogs? He went to say thanks... Well, was it a good thing, actually he wasn't sure? But before he could even say anything himself, his button took the opportunity to speak instead.
'I bet your heart is just as big as that bear.'
Uh.
His cheeks turned a little pink as he made a grab for the button. Did these things have an off button? Because if it was going to go on like this the entire lesson....
SPOILER!!: Professor

Dreams. Everyone had answered with dreams. But Zander didn't really fancy the idea of sharing his dreams.
Sharing his deepest thoughts with the entire class? Telling people about where his mind wandered when he had absolutely no control in the matter? As great as that sounds... Thanks, but no thaaaaaanks, Professor.
So in order to steer her away from this whole dream thing... "In divination you've gotta have a really clear head and a relaxed state of mind so that you can make your inner eye work," Or something like that... It's why he had trouble with it. 'Cause he could hardly ever get himself to focus. "And there's no place I feel more at ease than when I'm sleeping on my bed... So maybe it's 'cause you want us to stop thinking about all that other stuff and just kinda ease up our minds?"

This class was weird. Daxton had been interested in the idea of Divination, but now he was here he was fairly certain he did not like it. Beds? As chairs? No. Sharing the bed chairs? No. He was perched right at the edge of the 'chair', unwilling to have anyone sit anywhere near him.
No.
After his button had chirped out its first positive phrase, Daxton had given up on it and shoved it down the back of the bed chair, out of sight and where he could no longer hear it. It was annoying.
As for the question the weird smiley teacher had asked, he wanted to know that too. Why the beds? Why?

So much snapping! Davie was, truth be told, not very good at clicking his fingers together. It was one of those little things he had never mastered, although he was, at least, a very good whistler. So he sort of just beamed and softly rubbed his fingers together in appreciation of his classmates, most likely looking like a creepy cricket.
Anyway.
"I think you want us to focus on something deeper, like our inner eyes," Davie volunteered, already sinking deep deep deeeeeep into his pillow-desk. He did prop his knees up, though, so he could use them as a place to rest his parchment. "Also, you want to get us thinking about our DREEEEEEEAMZZ." Because they were surely going to interpret those today!

Puck both loved and was entirely boggled by the fact that Professors wanted them to wear their Pajamas to class. Her hands clutched and tugged at the terrycloth robes that she had thrown over her plaid bottoms and tank top. Her feet were snug in her slipper shoes. This was cuter and warmer than her usual sleepwear. Which was important right?
The room was airy and breezy and in the north tower. She had even written a nice non-sarcastic snap cup thing. Which was good right? She was improving as a human maybe?
The comments from the buttons were making her grin. Did that thing really just tell Marigold that her sneezes were like a chorus of angels? So nice. Yawning slightly she lazily blinked up at Professor Morgan from her place on the cozy bed [b]”you have shiny teeth”[/i] the button chirped out.
Weird. The buttons were weird. She was sure really that they were doing something dream related but the room was so relaxing almost too relaxing. She just grinned over to the people around her. “Professor…I’m sure we’re doing something dream and sleep related? Are we possibly doing something and having people read our future’s by the way that we move and the positions we sleep in?” She asked kindly even though dreams were probably the thing right?

Milo wasn't sure if this was something that was usual for Divination (like to make the aura better for Seeing) or not but he was intrigued. It was definitely panning out to be an odd bit of magical learning so far. Professor Morgan was calling their attention to the fact that they were all in beds instead of desks and that there were clouds all around them. The first year thought for a moment. Well, you usually laid in beds but their were also clouds. These could represent thought-bubbles maybe and they would study dreams, but he wanted to give a different answer because a lot of the others were saying Dream Divination.
Raising his hand, Milo spoke up. "Professor, maybe we are doing some sort of cloud-gazing Divination? You have clouds here and you have to lay on the ground to look at the clouds for a long time or your neck would start to hurt. Did you have beds in here to make us more comfortable?" If so, he was appreciative and with that thought he snuggled into a blanket. Could he have a blanket in all of his classes?
Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always.
Divination.
Noelle was actually super excited for this class. Her mum had hated it when she was at Hogwarts. She had called it Hogwash. But Noelle thought it was a brilliant tool. Maybe she would be a Seer!! You never knew!
[Before Class Started]
Noelle's eyes brightened as she looked at all the clouds and the beds. What a way to start a class! And they got to wear their PJs? Oh this was easily becoming Noelles favorite class.
Looking for a seat... Er... bed, Noelle and her one pieced pajamas with crowns all over it, found a spot. She had spotted Sabbie. Beaming, she raced over and plopped on the bed beside him. He looked to be looking for someone. Of course, Noelle had her snaps ready to go.
"Hi! Who are you looking for?" Noelle asked but didn't get an answer before the professor was speaking. Her attention immediately turned to her. Did she mention she was excited for this class?
Noelle tilted her head to the side and thought about the question she had asked. "Well it would seem that beds are peaceful and relaxing," Just like your relaxing rules Noelles snap popped up. Whoa. "Anyways, relaxation leads to sleep and sleep leads to dreams? Are we going to be learning about dreams??"
Did she get it right?? She looked back to Sabbie as he snap went off again. Youre the best thing since sliced bread!Heh. This snap thing was pretty cool.

Oh hey Ellery joined them too. Oliver grinned at his sister and snuggled up with her. He liked the idea of not sitting in desks, because this way he was right next to his sister. He could hug her whenever he pleased without having to get up. Nice.
And now class was starting and he had to pay attention. But as soon as the professor moved his button piped up, "Your voice sounds angelic." He quickly moved his hand to cover it, hoping that would quiet the sound. Didn't it know that it couldn't speak during class. It was rude. Oliver, on the other hand, could speak to answer the question since he raised his hand. "Um if we fall asleep in class, it would be more comfortable." Not that he was going to fall asleep in class. Ahem.
Norah snapped along with Professor Cassie as the proud moments were read out, shooting her button a look when it burst out Your nostrils flair with the grace of a butterfly. RUDE. That was called interruption, which you'd think the button would avoid considering it was supposed to be nice. Being interrupted definitely did not feel nice. 'Scuse you, button. Nice compliment, though. Nostrils deserved appreciation too.
Her fingers quickly reached the point of feeling like they'd break right in half from all the snapping, so she put her hand in the air. Everybody else had answered with essentially what she'd meant to say, but if she snapped one more time she was DEFINITELY going to need a visit to the hospital wing. How did Professor Cassie do it all the time? "The beds kind of tie into the whole dreams and relaxation thing, like everybody said. If we're trying to tell the future it helps if we can clear our minds by laying down 'n breathing or something like that."

The students all looked so comfy in their Pj's. Maybe she should have comfy pj day more often. Though they looked comfy she was on her feet walking around the classroom as they started answering her questions. The button she wore spoke out to students as she moved near them.
You have fabtastic slippers!
You have pretty hair.
I'm so glad you came to class today!
SPOILER!!: answers

Notes? Yup! He could take his notes quite comfortably... if he just put Bruce down to the side opposite of where Benny was to him. Annnnnd there went the first question! The Hufflepuff raised a hand. "Maybe we're studying the meanings of dreams,'' he suggested. "We'll probably have to take a nap and try to decipher our dreams using happenings or objects in them and this setting...''He gestured to the beds, clouds, stuffed toy and their attire... "Will help us out with that.'' This was just a random guess here. Heh.
She didn't have any surprise when students started guessing correctly. The beds did give it away. Snapping at his great answer, "Yes we will be working with dreams today. Very good."

"Very good, yes we will be studying dreams." Snaps for her!

She couldn't help but chuckle, "I love sleepovers, but not this time." She got snaps for a fun answer!

Angel raised her hand and then she tried to think of something that you would use a bed for. "Professor are we studying Scrying, I think that you need a clear mind, so that would be why the beds are here, to help us clear our mind." Angel sighed, this was going to be hard for her if it was the case.
She glanced at Angel snapping at her good try. Everyone was snapping still, weren't they? "No not scrying, we need to be relaxed and clear our mind, but maybe the beds would clear them too much."

And the class was finally started.
The reason behind why she arrange the classroom looking like this?
Candice raised her hand before she answered the question "Dreams. I think we're going to learn something about dreams? Dreams interpretation maybe?" She offered.
She snapped for Candice, "Very good!"

When she complimented her on her pajamas, Janelle said, "Thank you". "Giraffe's are my favorites so I love these pajamas."
When Janelle realized that they really had to sit/lie on these beds, she awkwardly climbed aboard and tried to make herself comfortable. Just as she did, class was called to order and Professor Cassie began to speak. Janelle tried to follow directions and postition herself for optimal note taking. It was not easy. When the first question was posed, Janelle raised her hand. She already had an idea about what they would be doing today and now was the time to share it.
"Will be be working on dreams today?" Pajamas, beds, clouds. All they were missing was the sheep to count. What else could they possibly be doing today?
Snap, snap, snap
"Yes we will be working with dreams! Awesome job!"

Blaise sipped contently at his tea and listened as his own entry was read to the class. Hear that quill buddy? He appreciated you.
"I think it's 'cause you understand how stressful our other lessons are and wanna make it even a little easier for us to cope, Professor. It's really nice of you." NODNODNOD. Maybe next time he would put that he appreciated HER in his snap cup. It was certainly true.
Of course, all that talk of dreams could have been true too. He didn't know. There was still a lot that he didn't know.
Answers were great, especially when they got creative. This one got more snaps from her, "I do understand, but that isn't why we have the beds today. Though that was a great answer!"

Geez these things were strange however she gave the older girl a small grin.
There wasn't any time for anything more to be said as she had to take out her parchment and quill to begin her note taking. Silently she listened to what was being said and wrote down everything in her fine small script, pausing occasionally to snap along with everyone else. When the question was asked about beds and such she raised a hand, "Beds and clouds are usually a sense of peacefulness. It makes people sleepy and relaxed...so whatever we're working on today we most likely need to be calm and relaxed for." Yeah she wasn't going to mention dreams and the like. Enough people were probably thinking that already.
Hady got snaps for sure! "they do make people relax and relaxing and calming is always great here in Divination!"

That was a nice thought and Cassie made sure to give snaps. "Divination is always easier with a clear mind. So very good." It was a great answer though it wasn't fully true.

Now this kid had a good idea. Could she do a reading with clouds here? It wasn't naturally made clouds, thought they could just go outside on this nice November day.

He quickly moved his hand to cover it, hoping that would quiet the sound. Didn't it know that it couldn't speak during class. It was rude. Oliver, on the other hand, could speak to answer the question since he raised his hand. "Um if we fall asleep in class, it would be more comfortable." Not that he was going to fall asleep in class. Ahem.
Giggling over the answer she gave snaps, "We should not be sleeping in class!"

Nice compliment, though. Nostrils deserved appreciation too.
Her fingers quickly reached the point of feeling like they'd break right in half from all the snapping, so she put her hand in the air. Everybody else had answered with essentially what she'd meant to say, but if she snapped one more time she was DEFINITELY going to need a visit to the hospital wing. How did Professor Cassie do it all the time? "The beds kind of tie into the whole dreams and relaxation thing, like everybody said. If we're trying to tell the future it helps if we can clear our minds by laying down 'n breathing or something like that."
She got snaps as well, "Yes they do go into relaxation and clearing minds."
Such smart students, all of them were just so smart. She noticed the ones that didn't respond, yes she was keeping an eye on them. "Now most of you got it right correctly. We have this room set up for dream interpretation. Dreams can be a wonderful thing. It helps you escape from reality, bring back your greatest accomplishments, show you your wants and your biggest fears. " Pointing to the clouds as she walked past a few, "Dreams can be light hearted and happy. You can wake wishing you were right back in it."
The room was so pretty, the clouds white and fluffy floating around. She smiled watching for a moment, "Dreams have other things they can be too. They can be darker, scarier. They could be warning you about something or telling you a future. Maybe it's trying to help you solve a problem you have in your life. " She waved her wand as she talked to the class and the clouds changed to a darker grey. "Dreams can be scary they can make us not want to go to bed, but if we know more about these dreams we can rest easier whether we will have a nightmare or a wonderful time asleep."
Moving back to the front of the room with her button still talking to any student she walked past. "Can anyone tell me what they know about Dream Divination? What is it's real name? How do you remember your dreams?"

Why were the clouds getting darker? Olly hoped that it would not storm in the classroom, because that would be scary. He clung to his sister. Oh, it was representing nightmares. Well that was not very good either. He did not appreciate nightmares, they were very scary. He especially did not like having them while at Hogwarts, when there was nobody around to comfort him. But some dreams were happy, and he tried to focus on that fact. Olly stared at the clouds that were white and fluffy, like clouds should be. They were nice, and not scary at all. Good. He raised his hand.
"If we write down our dreams as soon as we wake up we can remember them later. Or read about them if we don't remember them." But he did not know what dream divination was called. He was just a first year, he couldn't be expected to know something like that. He wasn't some sort of divination prodigy. That would be crazy.
There was no need to wait for snapping this time, oh no. Norah KNEW this one. Sebby had taught her a whole bunch of greek roots 'n things over the summer for plant reasons (and because what else were little brothers good for?). Of course dreams were mentioned TOO because dreams could be almost as exciting as plants And scarier too, but they didn't need to think about those, 'specially since nobody was ever allowed to know she still had those all the time. That was a baby thing, probably, but sometimes the bad ones just wouldn't go away. It wasn't fair.
With her hand straight up in the air, she said, "It's called oneiromancy! Because the greek root oneiros means 'dream.'" As for the how to remember the dreams part, she had no idea. Sometimes she remembered her dreams (even if she wished she wouldn't) and sometimes she couldn't recall having a dream at all. That was brain stuff. She was still learning the words to DESCRIBE brain stuff. The understanding bits could come later.

Rats. So they WERE going to talk about dreams today.
But Zander could just say he didn't remember any of his dreams anyways, so all clear. Or he could make something up. He tended to do that with this class most of the time anyways. And it always worked for him, so y'know? What's the harm. Not like someone could actually prove that he didn't dream whatever dream he claimed to dream. That was a lot of dreamin'. Woah.
Eeeeer. "Dreamomancy?" he offered. Well. It was worth a shot. At least he was putting himself out there, Professor. Or maybe it was sleepomancy? Could also be bedomancy, even. That'd explain the beds.
And also he had no idea how people remembered their dreams. It just sort of happened? Like sometimes you'd wake up and your dream would just be in your head. And other times it wouldn't. Just science. Was there really a method to the madness?
