As you enter the divination tower this afternoon, you notice that Professor Yoon has transformed it into a tea room. Round tables are set up with the Professor's desk at very front with a jar of fortune cookies. On each table you will find crumpets, scones with butter and some varieties of jam, and of course the tea! If you don't want to drink tea, there is a table on the left side of the classroom where you can find coffee, milk orange juice and water. The Professor is leaning on her desk, waiting for the students and sipping her tea.
Don't forget to take a fortune cookie before you take a seat. Feel free to enjoy the food and the drink while waiting for your classmates!

Just because Professor Yoon hadn't tried to eat them yet, and put down that thing about being a Presbyterian or whatever and that meaning she wouldn't eat them, didn't mean Hadley Denaker bought it. Because she did not. At all.
Hads entered the classroom like she always did: Wand in the pocket of her robes, hand on it, ready for action in a heartbeat. Today the room looked like a tea room...that was food related...Oh yeah, she was onto you, lady. She was just itching to make them crumpets! And...Oh. Fortune cookies.
Hadley made her way to the front of the room, and took a fortune cookie out of the jar. She eyed the professor suspiciously. "Professor," evil or not, they still tended to be grumps when you didn't greet them in some fashion. Hadley backed away, making sure to not take her eyes off Yoon, and...tripped as she backed into a chair at one of the tables right next to Yoon's desk. Hadley floundered for a second, brushed the hair out of her face and acted like she'd meant to pick this seat. But honestly: Great! She'll be the first one in the pot this time.
With a sigh, Hadley opened her fortune cookie and read it aloud. "A lifetime isn't nearly long enough to figure out what it's all about. Really? Fine..." When did fortunes stop being actual fortunes?

Fiyero peeked into the Divination classroom to find it completely deserted, except fir Professor Yoon leaning against her desk and one other student (Hadley). Whoa, weird...he was one if the first people here. Either that or he had his days mixed up.
"Good afternoon, Professor," he greeted the Divination teacher with a friendly smile, reaching into the fortune cookie jar. ;Thank you for the cookie."
Fiyero took a seat at one if the various tables, carefully setting out his quill and parchment before helping himself to a cup of tea and a scone. The food was definitely his favorite part of Divination class! Most of the other teachers were really picky about eating in class.
Hmm...I wonder what we're learning about today, he thought as he spread some jam on his scone.

Hadleigh stepped slowly into the Divination room taking in what appeared to be a Tea Room today. SIGH.
The last time she had drank tea in during a lesson she was shrunk down to the size of an ant...maybe smaller then one. Did these Professors not work together on this stuff? Was that coffee though?! She smelt coffee, she would know the scent anywhere and instantly she began to move that way before remembering her training. Backing away from the coffee she went for a glass of orange juice. It would have to do.
With the glass in one hand she take a plate and set just a single crumpet on it along with a little jam. That was all she needed. Just a small jolt of flavors to wake her up a little...those sleeping potions had done their job but let her feeling groggy most of the time.
"Hello Professor," she greeted softly with a very small smile, "Thank you for the food." Mhmm. Food always helped. Before continuing towards a set off in a corner she remembered to grab herself a fortune cookie which was also put onto her plate. Now with her food and drink in hand she sat herself down allowing her bag to drop onto the floor at her feet while she got comfortable. Nibbling at her crumpet she dipped the end in the jam her eyes straying around the room.
At least this lesson would be free of blondes whom she was trying hard to avoid. Today might be a decent day after all.

Janelle entered the Divination Tower and was pleased with what she saw. Snacks......and tea. Her joy was a little reduced as she thought about what happened the last time students were offered tea in a classroom. Professor Yoon didn't seem like the type to trick someone into eating charmed food, at least she hoped that wasn't the case.
"Hello Professor", Janelle said as she made her way to an empty seat. She picked up a fortune cookie on the way and then sat down. Dropping her book bag on the floor, she decided to throw caution to the wind. Janelle went to get a glass of orange juice and returned to her table. Then she grabbed a crumpet, buttered it and proceeded to nibble on the buttery goodness. Now this was definitely the way to pass the time, while you waited for class to start.

Azura hadn't attended last years Divination "class" there had be NO WAY she was going to a class with a hag! What had the school even been thinking? She shook her raven head a little as she moved into the room, with no bad feelings at all. She was excited and ready to learn! She had read the rules carefully as well! Last thing she wanted was a repeat of Muggle studies!
Though her face fell ever so slightly as she saw all the food and her stomach turned. Her and food didn't get along lately! However she put a smile on her face and looked at the Professor. "Good Afternoon Professor Yoon. " She said as she took a fortune cookie. And then looked around the room.
She said Haddie and made her way over to her dorm mate. "Hello." She said with her fake smile as she sat down and looked at the food.

This was a conspiracy. Why were all the Professors trying to feed them after such a long tradition of 'no food in the classroom'? Call him paranoid after being shrunk, nearly stomped on and stuffed into another Professor's pocket but this whole tea set wasn't sitting well with the 13 year old.
Blaise entered the room, his hesitance as clear as day. He...wasn't so sure he liked where this was going at all.
The boy took a seat at one of the tables, his quill floating along just over his shoulder with his notepad. "Is there anything we should know about the food, Professor?" Because he wasn't NOT gonna ask. Never again would he blindly put his faith in those set above him. That kind of trust was hard to regain when you realized what they were all capable of.
"Also, good day." Never let it be said he was rude.

Mason poked her head through the trap-door, her arms clawing at the floor beneath her hands. It wasn't as if she was scared of heights or anything, but since she was a Second Year now, she spent as much time on the Quidditch-Pitch as possible. She was trying to perfect her beats, which obviously required a ton of upper-arm strength and those exercises were starting to take a toll on her body, especially in the arm division.
She scrambled into the tower-room, book-bag slung lazily over her sore shoulder. Mason was a bit excited for this class, since last year's had been such a fiasco or so she heard. . . she hadn't attended that class, since sleep was way more important, duh.
She gave the professor a little wave, "Good morning, Professor." Well, she hoped that it would be a good one, the professor probably knew. . . since she knew everything. . .
Oh! Pleasant snack-y surprise. Mason glanced warily at the tea though, since last time a professor gave them that, they turned into smol-Hobbits and had to go on plant-adventures. So she was going to steer clear of that. Mason grabbed one of the little cookie-thingys and went to take a seat, already rummaging around in her bag to make sure that she hadn't forgotten anything, something that she was wont to do. . . a lot.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
The moment Bec entered the Divination classroom she wondered if she had mistaken the room the subject was being taught. She could have sworn it was in here from the other lessons. This room looked like a tea room she had been to once before for her grandma’s birthday. But seeing the other students present made the Gryffindor realise the was in the right place and walked inside.
She first greeted the Professor with a simple “Hello, Professor” and a smile before she grabbed a fortune cookie. Were they supposed to open it now or did they have to wait? Holding it in her hand just in case, the first year spotted Fiyero in the room as well and she rushed over to him.
Poking his shoulder , she gave a quick hello to the girls he was sitting with (Hadley and Azura) before turning her attention to Fiy. “How long till that photograph is ready?” she asked, obviously talking about the picture he had taken during Herbology. Then, just because she was already standing here she pulled out a chair and sat at the same table Can we open our cookies?" she asked, holding up her own.

DIVINATION! CUE INTERNAL SCREAMING!
Scarlett practically BOUNCED into the Divination room, eyeing everything as she took a seat at the nearest table she could find. Hmm, would this lesson be on tea leaves? It seemed like a logical guess. Once she had settled down, she went up to the front and grabbed a cookie. Once she got her seat, she cracked it open, not even waiting to see if they were supposed to wait or not.
"The time is right to make new friends," she read aloud. Huh. That was a pretty straight forward fortune - and she could use more friends! She could ALWAYS use more friends.
Except...she was still seated at the table by herself. Meh. Hopefully someone would join her soon and she could fulfill her fortune!

He still had a lot of... trust issues... with Divination. The professor last term had taken her time about coming around to the point of Attempted Child Eating, and Jaemin couldn't be sure that this one wasn't going to do the same. Sure, she hadn't done anything yet, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't try soon. Wasn't that how things worked? Lull them into a false sense of security, and then BAM. You were suddenly Student Stew with a side of crackers and cheese.
Not happening. Not to him, nope. Not this term, nor any. The small boy slinked into the room quietly, eyes immediately landing on the professor; he watched her for a good long minute before giving her a little wave in greeting and taking a seat at a table that was safely between her desk and the door. Far enough away from the desk that he could run if anything went sideways, far enough from the door that he could still see what was happening at the front of the room. The fortune cookies were bypassed, because they could not be trusted.
The chair was squishy. He bounced a little in it before giving the food and tea on the table a rather dubious look. Was it safe? Or was it laced with "fall asleep and wake up in a pie" stuff? He picked up a crumpet and sniffed at it questioningly before setting it down. He would... wait. He'd wait. And see if anyone else ate stuff and had a reaction.

Skylar didn't know what to think about Divination. She heard many ideas regarding the subject, but tried to keep an open mind about it. Indifferent expression, the first year made her way into the classroom taking a look around at the room and noticed it was set up like a tea party might be. Except with fortune cookies. So was it Chinese in origin?
Finding an open seat next to a Hufflepuff girl who looked way to excited to be here, but perhaps she could help her if she struggled?, Sky decided right then that she wasn't drinking the tea. Or the water or the juice. Last time she drank something offered at the start of the lesson, she shrank to the size of an insect. She would however open her fortune, but only because she happened to thoroughly enjoy the sayings.
Be definite now, worry about precision later. Skylar read quietly to herself, before looking up to take in more about the girl at her table. What did that even mean? She didn't need to be accurate? She was already perplexed and the lesson hadn't even started!

Why Ilia was still taking this class she had no idea. Really she probably should have dropped this and muggle studies in her new year. She survived with A's, but hated every moment of it. They had gone from Miss happy snaps , to the kid munching hag , to this unassuming professor. Would she be a raging nut like some of the professors? Would she be somewhat normal like Hirsch? "Greetings Professor Yoon." She gave her a customary bow that she did to all professors and collected a fortune cookie like she was supposed to. "Thank you."
She saw all of the food yes, but she wouldn't be having any of it. No, none at all. She didn't trust any of the professors, especially ones she was not extremely familiar with. No Hogwarts professor could be trusted on anything consumable. None of them. Not a one. Food in class was always a bad sign. The last time there was food in divination class, there were egregious butt trumpeters, belligerent belchers, the unbearable fart wars....no eating of the food. If this turned into gastromancy again she was leaving mkay? Let her fail it on the newts, but she was not getting gassed by her peers ever again.
Hogwarts professors and their 'food peace offering' to tame and appease their students were always laced with tricks. Cookies had caused her boyfriend being a temporary Demi mutt....now don't get her wrong she liked a bit of hair and for him to be manly...but were hair was a no go. And not to mention the professor she thought that she could trust SPIKING HER TEA AND SHRINKING HER! Without her permission. So no, just no food in class, at all, ever. They had probably ruined her for life on this.
Still, she did crack her cookie open. Be unordinary, visionary even. Ilia's eye brow raised at it and she sighed. So much for a fortune? She already was a visionary and so not ordinary, thank you very much.
Kitty was developing a very strong anti-Divination outlook. The whole idea of not being able to change ones fate truly bothered Kitty and was contradictory to her personal philosophy. And then last year their teacher had tried to EAT them! That a cannibal was the best person the Headmistress could find was proof that it was a horrible subject, at least in Kitty's mind. So far Professor Yoon hadn't tried to eat them, and she seemed like she could be likeable and maybe even a good teacher. But she was also the only teacher who outlawed the wearing of excessive makeup in class. Kitty ALWAYS wore Gothic makeup to every class she attended. Without it she felt vulnerable. And now she was forbidden to wear it.
Before Professor Yoon, the only people at Hogwarts who knew what Kitty looked like underneath all her Gothic makeup were the girls who slept in her dorm, and anyone who noticed when Miffy and Peeves through glue at them. But now everyone knew. And that made Kitty nervous...and angry.
Kitty walked right up to Professor Yoon with her head held high. "Good afternoon Professor," the Gothic girl greeted her curtly with her hands crossed in front of her. Then she read her cookie's message aloud for no particular reason. "Disease can be cured; fate is incurable. -- Chinese proverb." She paused. "Is my makeup okay? I'm sorry if I don't know what 'too much' makeup means. I am just being myself." The only makeup she was wearing today was black eyeliner, lipstick, and nails. She felt tempted to say that it was her fate that she wear lots of makeup and that there was nothing that Professor Yoon could do to change that, but she didn't want to get in trouble.

Echo climbed through the door and she was so happy! normally these classes makes her want to have a nap but yay! tea and cookies, her day was totally looking up. "Hi professor" she said while finding her way to a table. "thanks for the tea and treats" and she meant it. this is exactly what she needed.
Finding a table that already had someone sitting there she pulled out a chair with one hand, cookie in her mouth and her tea in the other hand. Sitting down she took the cookie out of her mouth and placed it on the saucer. "hey" she said to the girl, Echo couldn't remember her name but she had seen her around plenty.

Esme couldn't get over how wonderful it was to have Divination back to how it SHOULD be. How it HAD been before Professor Cassie had left. The Hag had ruined so much, but she was starting to re-develop her love of the subject.
"Hello, Professor," she said with a smile before grabbing a fortune cookie and setting about getting herself a cup of tea. It wasn't her favourite drink by any means, but she had developed a liking for it after practicing tea cup readings a couple summers ago. Waving to her friends, she joined Mason. "Hey," she said to her friend before taking a sip of her tea.

Surprisingly enough, the first student who came into her class was Hadley Denaker. That Ravenclaw student hadn't caused any trouble in her class.... yet, but Sora still kept her eyes on her. "Miss Denaker." The divination Professor greeted her back.

Sora could see that there's something wrong with this Slytherin girl. Bet that she had a boyfriend problem, typical teenagers stuffs. "Miss Lynch, I hope you enjoy the food and the class." She replied to her.

"Miss Guidry." She saw a Ravenclaw girl came to her class and greeted her back. It seemed like Janelle didn't feel suspicious about the food, and it was good because for the love of Cassandra, the food and the drink wouldn't harm the students.

Another traumatized student. She did hear about Professor Myers spiking their tea with shrinking solution and made the student shrunk. "You don't have to worry about the food and the drink here, Mr. Bellaire." She spoke to the Gryffindor boy. "I didn't poison them with anything. In fact, I'm currently drinking the tea that I served here." Did something wrong happen to her? No. "And good day to you too."

"Miss Reynolds, good to see you here." She said to the Hufflepuff girl. Did she forget to greet the professor because she was too enthusiast with the class or something?

Another suspicious student. It's okay, it took a long time to gain a trust with all these students since the hag and spiking tea problems. Sora just nodded slightly when Jaemin entered the class.

Finding an open seat next to a Hufflepuff girl who looked way to excited to be here, but perhaps she could help her if she struggled?, Sky decided right then that she wasn't drinking the tea. Or the water or the juice. Last time she drank something offered at the start of the lesson, she shrank to the size of an insect. She would however open her fortune, but only because she happened to thoroughly enjoy the sayings.
Be definite now, worry about precision later. Skylar read quietly to herself, before looking up to take in more about the girl at her table. What did that even mean? She didn't need to be accurate? She was already perplexed and the lesson hadn't even started!
"Miss Digory." She nodded to the Slytherin firstie when she entered the classroom and joined Miss Reynolds.

"Greetings Professor Yoon." She gave her a customary bow that she did to all professors and collected a fortune cookie like she was supposed to. "Thank you."
She saw all of the food yes, but she wouldn't be having any of it. No, none at all. She didn't trust any of the professors, especially ones she was not extremely familiar with. No Hogwarts professor could be trusted on anything consumable. None of them. Not a one. Food in class was always a bad sign. The last time there was food in divination class, there were egregious butt trumpeters, belligerent belchers, the unbearable fart wars....no eating of the food. If this turned into gastromancy again she was leaving mkay? Let her fail it on the newts, but she was not getting gassed by her peers ever again.
Hogwarts professors and their 'food peace offering' to tame and appease their students were always laced with tricks. Cookies had caused her boyfriend being a temporary Demi mutt....now don't get her wrong she liked a bit of hair and for him to be manly...but were hair was a no go. And not to mention the professor she thought that she could trust SPIKING HER TEA AND SHRINKING HER! Without her permission. So no, just no food in class, at all, ever. They had probably ruined her for life on this.
Still, she did crack her cookie open. Be unordinary, visionary even. Ilia's eye brow raised at it and she sighed. So much for a fortune? She already was a visionary and so not ordinary, thank you very much.
"Miss Valke." She returned the greetings.

So far Professor Yoon hadn't tried to eat them, and she seemed like she could be likeable and maybe even a good teacher. But she was also the only teacher who outlawed the wearing of excessive makeup in class. Kitty ALWAYS wore Gothic makeup to every class she attended. Without it she felt vulnerable. And now she was forbidden to wear it.
Before Professor Yoon, the only people at Hogwarts who knew what Kitty looked like underneath all her Gothic makeup were the girls who slept in her dorm, and anyone who noticed when Miffy and Peeves through glue at them. But now everyone knew. And that made Kitty nervous...and angry.
Kitty walked right up to Professor Yoon with her head held high. "Good afternoon Professor," the Gothic girl greeted her curtly with her hands crossed in front of her. Then she read her cookie's message aloud for no particular reason. "Disease can be cured; fate is incurable. -- Chinese proverb." She paused. "Is my makeup okay? I'm sorry if I don't know what 'too much' makeup means. I am just being myself." The only makeup she was wearing today was black eyeliner, lipstick, and nails. She felt tempted to say that it was her fate that she wear lots of makeup and that there was nothing that Professor Yoon could do to change that, but she didn't want to get in trouble.
"Miss Valentine." She greeted and looked at the student's face. "I don't think your make up looks excessive for now. Just keep it minimum." Since this student seemed like a student who always applied make up everyday, she knew the differences between everyday natural make up and a party one, right?

Finding a table that already had someone sitting there she pulled out a chair with one hand, cookie in her mouth and her tea in the other hand. Sitting down she took the cookie out of her mouth and placed it on the saucer. "hey" she said to the girl, Echo couldn't remember her name but she had seen her around plenty.
"Hello Miss Duchaness, I hope you enjoy them."

"Hello, Professor," she said with a smile before grabbing a fortune cookie and setting about getting herself a cup of tea. It wasn't her favourite drink by any means, but she had developed a liking for it after practicing tea cup readings a couple summers ago. Waving to her friends, she joined Mason. "Hey," she said to her friend before taking a sip of her tea.
"Hello, Miss Darcy." She smiled to Hufflepuff girl.
Looking at her wristwatch, Sora then closed the door and started the lesson. "Hello, class. Welcome to another Divination lesson this term. I know that some of you develop an issue about the food and the drink that I served here, but you have nothing to worry about. I didn't put anything that can shrink you or something like that." It's not like she served them here without any particular reason. It's related to the lesson that she's going to teach today.
She waved her wand to the blackboard.

Hobbling Hinkypunks this room…. The only thing lacking from this place is his grandma Aunt Caroline giggling and gossiping away with her friends while she "babysat" her grandson-- errr little cousin. He even found himself sitting upright and stirring his tea with his pinky in the air. At least his fortune cookie wasn’t too bad-- 'Somebody speaks well of you.' well he hoped that’s true, and not some kind of reverse psychology gag some people seems to be so fond of.
So Tasseomancy-- what did he know about it? Well saying it’s a bunch of hogwash probably isnt the best answer, specially not when you're surrounded with a stack of china that can easily be used as projectiles.
"Uhm… other than tea leaves, you can also use coffee grounds, or any kind of sediment left over from drinks."

Text Cut: Bec
The moment Bec entered the Divination classroom she wondered if she had mistaken the room the subject was being taught. She could have sworn it was in here from the other lessons. This room looked like a tea room she had been to once before for her grandma’s birthday. But seeing the other students present made the Gryffindor realise the was in the right place and walked inside.
She first greeted the Professor with a simple “Hello, Professor” and a smile before she grabbed a fortune cookie. Were they supposed to open it now or did they have to wait? Holding it in her hand just in case, the first year spotted Fiyero in the room as well and she rushed over to him.
Poking his shoulder , she gave a quick hello to the girls he was sitting with (Hadley and Azura) before turning her attention to Fiy. “How long till that photograph is ready?” she asked, obviously talking about the picture he had taken during Herbology. Then, just because she was already standing here she pulled out a chair and sat at the same table Can we open our cookies?" she asked, holding up her own.
Fiyero smiled as he saw Bec coming toward him. He had completely forgotten about the photo he'd promised her until just now! After quickly swallowing a bite of scone, he replied, "I just got it back last night." He reached into his bag for the picture of the color-changing rose he'd taken in Herbology and handed it to her.
He wasn't sure about her other question. He didn't see a problem with opening the cookie, but then he remembered the apples in Professor Flamsteed's class. Maybe the cookies were part if the lesson. Before he could answer Bec, Professor Yoon spoke.
Text Cut: Question 1
"Today, we're gonna discuss about tasseomancy, or tea-leaf reading." She spoke again. "What do you guys know about tasseomancy?"
Fiyero stared dumbly at the long word written on the blackboard. Tasseo-what? Oh, tea-leaf reading! Why didn't she just say so in the first place?
What did he know about tea-leaf reading? Not much. He scratched his head, trying to think of an answer. "Tasso- Tassy-" Fiyero stumbled over the long word. Finally he gave up trying to pronounce it. "Tea-leaf reading is basically what it sounds like: interpreting symbols in the tea leaves left at the bottom.of a person's cup. Some symbols mean good things; others not so much. Like for example, a Grim means death."
Fiyero couldn't believe he came up with such a long answer. He was starting to sound like a Ravenclaw!

Azura wasn't at all worried about the food being spiked. She rather enjoyed Professor Meyers class. That wasn't the reason why she hadn't touched her food. No, her and food didn't get along still. But she took a few sips of her tea and listening to the professor..
Azura's dull eyes flicked to the blackboard as a word came up..
Tasseomancy? What in the Fwoopers was..
Ohhhhh Tea Leaf reading! She knew a little about that. Sorta!
She raised her hand and spoke "All I know is that it's an art to help predict the future or fortune telling if you will, by reading tea leaves.. And sometimes coffee grounds." she thought at least. She had studied a bit. She just didn't know how it worked.

Abby thought and raised her hand and said "Well the art of reading tea leaves is that it can predict what happens to you in the future" Abby wasn't sure it was correct but it was worth a try

Busy enjoying her crumpet, Janelle was happy to hear that the food and drink were untainted. That was a relief, seeing as how she had almost finished her pre class snack. Janelle then heard a voice speaking to her. A Slytherin girl that she had seen around, but didn't really know, had joined her at the table. It was always nice to have someone close to your age to talk to. "Hey yourself", Janelle replied. "I'm Janelle, by the way", she added, as she took the last bite of food. "Well that really hit the spot. Good stuff, huh?"
Then the professor continued to speak and Janelle turned her attention to the front of the class. Ahhhh, so they would be doing Tasseomancy today. As for what she knew about it......not much. She tried to call up what she knew about the subject and then raised her hand. "Tasseomancy involves reading tea leaves. You can't use tea bags, by the way. You pour out the liquid or drink it until and interpret the shapes that the leftover tea leaves form.". Annnnd that was about the extent of her knowledge.

She gave the Professor a small smile. Without a blonde in this lesson she was very much sure she would be enjoying it more then some of the others. Sitting up straighter in her chair as the lesson began.
Quietly nibbling at her food she raised a hand into the air slowly, "As most of the others said it's the art of telling someones future by reading tea leaves after all the tea in their cup as been consumed." That was by far the easiest way to describe it without leaving out much details. Lowering her hand back down after she gave her answer to pick up her glass of orange juice and taking a long sip.

Kitty relaxed when Professor Yoon told her that her makeup was okay. "Thank you Professor," she said somberly before going to sit in a chair near one of the front tables. Tea was perfectly fine with her Kitty, so she picked up a cup and began to sip it gently.
"Tasseomancy," she answered after taking two small sips. "Is the study of reading tea leaves to try to predict someone's future. Some people believe that it works, but I've also heard that the predictions many times turn out to be wrong. Often when they are right it was just a lucky guess. From what I've read in history, real predictions in Divination weren't made from tea leaves, but from deep trances - such as the ones made by Professor Trelawny about the chosen one and Voldemort's return."

Olly was there, of course. Divination wasn't his favorite subject but it wasn't the most awful one he could think of. And he was curious about this new professor, so there he was. Anyone would be better than that hag they had last year. As long as this professor didn't like eating children. She didn't look like a child-eater. Though he was not sure if he would be able to tell something like that by appearances.
Right, actual learning. He just stared at the big word written on the blackboard? How was he supposed to know what that meant? Right, maybe if he had looked at his textbook. But he had not. Why would he have looked at a textbook before coming to class? Maybe he should sometimes but he only looked at it when he had to, for homework or whatever. So he had no idea what it meant and he just listened to the answers his classmates were giving. He would have to write that down.
