Divination wasn't really one of Sky's finer classes but at least for now she didn't have a choice in the matter and needed to take all classes to keep her horizons broad and unfocused. Her robes were pink though, thanks to a laundry mishap, which made today's lesson slightly more bearable but she was still not looking forward to it. And the fact that the room was all stuffy and heavily scented, didn't help her opinion of the subject. She'd much rather use more concrete divining methods like runes or numbers or stars, then something so subjective.

"Good afternoon, Professor," Sky greeted politely as she took note of the young professor there. Just because she didn't care for her subject didn't mean the professor was bad, right?

But she was here and she was going to do the best she could of the situation. Choosing a seat at a table with one of ickle slytherins (Leesha), Sky grinned at the younger girl who seemed quite displeased by their wardrobe colors. "Please, Lee, the pink isn't that bad. It could be like an ugly burnt orange colour." Sky teased, as she wrote out her namecard:

His favorite girl was here. Cornelius beamed at Katerina, forgetting all about the elf and pink robes. To be honest, he was rocking it.

"Hey there, pretty laaady." His voice was a sing-song voice. She was so...PINK today. Looked great on her. Y'know, like that cute little blush she got on her cheeks at times.

Cornelius was about to reach for her hand when there were arms suddenly around him. He laughed. "Masooon!" He would recognize her voice anywhere. Was she trying to choke him? Apparently no. Good. "What'chu mean? I've been here alllll along. Where have YOU been," he said, eyeing her name plate. "The Queen." He smirked.

And not to be rude, he smiled at Katerina and gestured to Mason. "This is Mason, one of my best mates." Pause. "Mason, this is Katerina." The girl that was stuck in his head.

Like, how does that happen?

Mentions Ace and Haddy

The very grumpy third year shambled into the Divination classroom. She was not happy, not happy at all. She was not a fan of pink, and suddenly her clothes were all pink. The only good thing was that everyone was pink. Maybe the professor would say all their auras were pink or something. The girl looked around the room to find a seat. Well, all auras woud be pink except for hers. Samantha was pretty sure hers would be what ever color meant extra grumpy. She plopped down in a seat at a table next to where Ace and Haddy and people. Seeing the parchment she pulled out her quill and angerly scribbled down her name and information.

Paige had woken up that morning in complete shock at the state of her supposedly freshly washed school robes. It took very little time for panic to set in - given the strict nature of some professors with the state of uniforms over the course of her terms at Hogwarts - but thankfully the Devil's Snare sapling she had tucked under her bed had reminded her of her wand with a timid flick of ones of its vines. Right, a simple Color Changing Charm would do the trick in such circumstances.

Not that she had any real animosity towards the color pink, not really.

Hurrying up to the Divination classroom, the seventh year was greeted with the usual brick wall of aroma - although she personally did not mind it much - as she shyly made her way towards her usual spot....and realized that everyone else's robes had suffered the same fate as her own.

Oh.

Although she just had to assume with Blaise since he was wearing no robes at all.

Divination was already a subject that made the Hufflepuff's insides squirm, but now that she was one of the few people NOT adorned in pink she felt even more ostracized - all self imposed, of course.

"Good day....Professor Vance," Paige greeted, eyes and tone completely distracted as she finally plopped into her seat. Blue eyes glancing up at the board, Paige blinked several times at the start remembering...but did not question it further than that. Quill out, she set to writing the requested information, again, on a piece of parchment and set it on her table facing the professor.

Divination.

He heard from the grape vine this course was kind of a joke. I mean no one really believed in psychics. I mean back in history Professor Trelawney kind of ruined Harry's life with the prophecy. Anyways he made his way up the tallest staircase imaginable. He wasn't so out of shape where he was heavy breathing but he was sweating. He got up to the ladder and climbed on up to the classroom. He saw it was sort of filled. I mean there was a fair amount of people. He nodded and made his way to his own seat. He then saw Hady who seemed busy with other people but he didn't care. He plopped right next to her seat and nudged her. "Ready for this..?" he asked sarcastically. Although he was curious about his future.

He then saw the Professor upfront and waved. "Hello Professor could you crack open a window? Im sort of sweating.." he said fanning himself. He saw a note and realized the Professor didn't know his name. He scribbled down his info...

Jace leaned closer to the small student so he could take a better look at his robes. "Sorry about your uniform..." he started and gestured to his own, "Must be terrible to have it ruined during your first year..." Because...brand new and all for the little kid. Will his mama get mad too? Well, he can attempt a color changing charm for his own robe, but he had a feeling that it won't be enough given that it's stained all throughout.

"Not good...I feel like my head's about to explode." he said as quietly as possible because he didn't want to offend the professor. What if this was her preferred setting, right? "You've got worse robes than I do." Jace said as he eyed Azura's uniform. "Should we attempt a color changing charm after class? I can't let my mum know about this..." he continued raising a pink-stained arm.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LANDON WAS IN THE........ ROOOOOOOM!!!!!

The bouncy red headed 2nd year strutted into the room in his pink get up, Helllooooo everyone! He had his handy dose of Chocolate and sugar this morning... did you? "gooooooood lovely morning Professor Vance!!!" He wasn't overly loud, but he was overly large in actions today as he pratically bounced to a choice seat up front. Riiiiiiight in the center. He took the closest available seat while he started on his Nameplate.

And Yes, he was aware he always wrote his name all weird, leave him alone.

If anybody thought that Owen was not enjoying his day because of the supposed pink robe disaster of the entire student body, then they were wrong. He was more than enjoying this day not only because pink was his favor color but more so because of the varied reactions among his peers. Some embraced the pink with all their hearts, others adorned their pink robes with scowls and sulking faces. Truly entertaining, no?

So with his usual side grin in place, the badger climbed up to the Divination classroom and was assaulted with aaaall the perfume.

ACHOOO!

Sorry, Professor. He was trying his hardest to get used to the smell but sometimes it was just too strong. Rubbing his nose, he bowed a bit at the woman Professor, "Good afternoon, Professor maam." Nimma was there too! "To you too, Nimma. Good job with the robes." He remarked, winking as he went to find a vacant table. Then wrote down on his name tag as instructed.

So the thing was, Char happened to miss the laundry day, but she wasn't one to be left out of something so fun as pink robes, and that meant she'd charmed them herself. Pink!!! Yeah! She DID prefer purple but she looked great in pink soooo why not?

She skipped into class and sat down. She didn't mind the heat (colour wasn't the only thing charmed in her robes) but the smell was a little strong. Hadn't anyone ever told the professor that sometimes less was more? Oh well!

Alyce was not too happy with her pink robes. Red hair and pink not match. She hoped this pink stuff is not permanent, if not she's not going to be very happy and she might need to owl her mother to buy her another robes.

As soon as she entered the classroom, the first year noticed that she's not the only one with the pink clothes problem. It seems everyone has the same problem. Wonder why?

"Hello, Professor. You look lovely in Pink." She told the Professor before she went to look for a seat. Oh. Look. Empty seat beside a Ravenclaw (Landon). "Hello." She gave him a small wave before she sat down next to him. "I like how you write your name. Its pretty cool." A bit weird but cool.

First Year

Mason hadn't wanted to come to Divination after his robe was bought back by the house elves and it had turned to pink. Not that there was something wrong with pink, he actually found the color soothing, but he was afraid that he would be the only one that it had happened to.

But still, he couldn't skip a lesson just because of something like this so without his pink robe on which was tucked away in his bag and still wearing yesterdays school uniform that hadn't been changed, the Ravenclaw entered the classroom and was immediately greeted with the sight of pink all around him.

Feeling a bit better that his clothes hadn't become the only victim, the fifth year nodded at the Professor as he spotted her and said a "Hello" as he took out his robe and put it on to match the other kids with the pink.

After finding a place to sit near the back, the Ravenclaw wrote down his information quickly and then grabbed his 'Curses and Counter Curses' book to read it before the lesson started.

Silas had already put on brand new school robes and thankfully it wasn't pink. Well, accept for his socks. They were the only ones in his outfit that were dyed pink, the rest were exactly the same. Shrugging, it wasn't like he didn't know how to colour change it with magic too. Good thing Silas brought extra pair of shirt and pants in his trunk. Even so, he still thanked the hardworking house elves for bringing back his clothes from the laundry room. Urgh...Crazy Miffy! What was wrong with this school? Couldn't they control their ghosts around here?

Not surprisingly, he entered the classroom with a roomful of kids dressed in pink. Silas greeted the divination professor, "Good day Professor Vance, you look lovely in ...uh pink." Yes, cast that charming smile. Good job, Silas. Wait...where was this smell coming from? Silas sniffed the air and couldn't help rubbed his nose. Ooph. Too strong.

Silas took a seat on one of the available desks. He followed the rest in writing their names on their tags for the professor.

SPOILER!!: Nametag

Wearing his pink uniform, Carl entered the classroom through the trapdoor. Pink was not his favorite color, but since everybody else's robes were also affected, he guessed him wearing pink would not stand out too much. "Hello, Professor Vance." He said to the Professor (also dressed in pink, he noticed), smiled at his classmates, then made his way to a seat at the side of the room.

A nameplate. The boy pulled out his quill and used the parchment to make his nameplate. When he was done, he got prepared for the lesson to begin.

Laurel was making her last preparations for the class when the first student arrived. "Good afternoon Kimi," she greeted the hufflepuff with a smile.

So, pink robes and all, he entered the Divination Tower. He had actually managed to get here in good time because he hadn't got lost (first time!). So it was that he was one of the first ones to arrive. It would be awkward to not sit next to the only other person in the room, so Finn strode over to a young Hufflepuff and took a seat.
"Hi, my name's Finnlay. Finn for short."
Before he had a chance to forget, he took out his quill and wrote out the information the professor had requested on both sides, folded it up, and made it stand on the front of the table next to the other boy's. Too bad he couldn't see it.
And of course, he gave a polite nod to the professor. Didn't want to disturb her aura or anything by talking to her. If that's even how any of this worked.

Nodding to the next boy that walked in she murmured "Good afternoon Finnlay." even if he hadn't addressed her.

Making his way inside, he greeted the professor with a wide grin "Hello, Professor Vance. Lovely day..." he is in a pink colored outfit and she is too. It's probably for the best but Sean doesn't like it one bit. He sat down and filled in a small parchment.

It was hard not to grin back at the boy that followed grinning too. "Good afternoon Sean. It is indeed a lovely day, perfect for divining."

Blinking away the tears that formed in the corner of his eyes, Jace stood straighter and inclined his head towards the professor. “Konnichiwa, Vance-sensei.” Jace then sat next to a Hufflepuff first year (Kimi), gave him a grin and a nod of his head, and wrote down his name plate as instructed:

Laurel was not used to the Japanese way of greeting so she simply smiled saying with a glance at his nameplate. "Good afternoon Jace."

"Good afternoon, Professor Vance." The lion all but choked, finding himself once again greeted by the strong scents that circulated the room. How was this still okay, a month into teaching? How had they not all been admitted to the Hospital Wing with respiratory problems? "Is it possible for us to crack open a window...or three?" Please? Strong scents bothered him and messed with his concentration.

Laurel wasn't unmoved by the student reactions to the heavy smell and heat in her classroom. So when Blaise addressed her and asked if they could crack open some windows she said with nod at him. "Good afternoon Blaise, yes you have my permission to crack open a few windows. I expect you to close the windows if some of your peers starts complaining that its gotten too cold." He was old enough to take responsibility right?

Strutting into the classroom (AFTER CLIMBING A MILLION STAIRS, GOSH PEOPLE, YOU TRYING TO KILL US?!), Liv held her head high! "Good afternoon, Professor." After the greeting, she flounced her way towards a seat and parked herself, getting her nametag in order.

The next girl to come into the classroom had taken the pink to a new level. She had even gone so far as to make the hood of her robes pink. "Good afternoon Olivia," Professor Vance greeted with a cheery smile.

Nimma appeared next to Professor Vance and slowly, nervously tugged on the Professor's robes to be noticed. Nimma would have to punish herself for such forwardness later. "Nimma is here, as Mistress asked."
She held up a basket of eggs. Nimma did good?
Nimma looked around wide-eyed at everyone's uniforms. "Why are studentsies pink?"

Laurel was looking at her watch to see how many minutes to wait before she got started when a loud pop was heard by her side and next minute an elf was tugging at her robes. Lowering her gaze to meet Nimma's eyes she beamed warmly as she accepted the basket full of eggs. "Thank you Nimma. You did very good."

She was about to put away the basket of eggs when Nimma asked her a question. Shrugging Laurel said to the little elf. "I was informed that there had been an incident in the laundry room causing everyone's washed robes to now be pink so that's why we all look like this." Laurel was not going to guess. It was the headmasters job to investigate.

Immensely curious. No assigned seating. That's one thing she loved about Hogwarts. No assigned seating. Though glancing around she only saw a few faces she knew and could tolerate, so it didn't leave her many options.

Laurel had just put away the egg basket on a table and turned back towards the student tables when another student addressed her. Smiling she said "Good afternoon Hadley, yes as a matter of fact I knew you were coming to my class." Not the exact minute or so but she knew to expect her.

It certainly wasn't helping her headache out at all. That was for sure. She managed a smile as she looked over at the Profesor. "Hello Professor. " She said with a nod as she looked around and found Jace she settled down next to him with a soft sigh and smile before looking down at her parchment and then writing on it.

"Hello Azura," Laurel greeted the young girl as she made her way to a seat.

"Hello Professor" giving her a smile she found a seat at one of the round tables.

The senior girl that followed the younger one was not wearing pink robes. She had charmed hers back to black by casting a spell. Laurel nodded to her. "Hello Natalia." She wasn't going to comment on the colour of the girls robes. She had used her magic to aid her as any sensible student should do.

Though seconds later, it was a lot less of a strut and more of a hunched back wobble. The amount of perfume in the room was going to make him sneeze.
"Gud aternun," he managed to get out as he passed the professor, pink uniform clad arm raised to his nose in case the sneeze finally decided to make an appearance. Which it DIDN'T. All he got was a burning sensation which made his eyes water..

"Good afternoon Lancelot." Laurel greeted the boy. "Do you need a handkerchief?" Because he looked ready to blow off a sneeze at any minute.

"Hello Miranda." Laurel called over after a glance at the badgers name plate.

And find a seat he does. Oh look the Dazzling Denaker is there, and even rocked the pink look with her hair. He goes to join her and another young Ravenclaw student "Heya Hadz! Hey..... Finnlay" seems like these nameplates is just as beneficial to students as they are to the professor.

Nodding to the boy that spoke to her next she said simply. "Hello Tenacious, yes, my robes were in the wash too." But Laurel could wear pink on other days too. It was a nice colour.

At least divination class was the lesson for the day. Some might say it seemed fitting to have the crazy robes in the class. It certainly seemed to blend right into the reddish light of the tower classroom as she climbed the last few steps inside. And look…the professor even matched them. “Hello Professor,” Cassie greeted before reading the blackboard for any possible instructions. With no assigned seats, the third year moved to take an armed chair near a window as her seat. Setting quill to paper as she prepared herself for the lesson.

"Good afternoon Cassandra." Laurel greeted the next girl to climb up through the trapdoor and find herself a seat.

Lucy entered the class and was immediately overcome by the heat. She was already unfastening her robe before she even made it halfway across the classroom to check the board. No assigned seats. Good.
She meandered over to one, rolled her robes into a ball and threw it beside her seat. She threw her hair up and rolled up her shirt sleeves. She sighed and filled out her nameplate.

Laurel watched as another girl entered without a word to her, to find herself a seat and pull off her robes to manage the heat she supposed. She shot the girl a kind nod. "Hello Lucy."

"Lovely day to you, Professor. How do you do?" He was ever so polite.

The next boy to arrive was according to his name a polite Slytherin. "Hello Cornelius," Laurel greeted with a cheery smile. "I'm quite good, thank you for asking. How are you?"

Geeez so many scents such a little space... could someone possibly open up a window.... she couldnt breath..... not to mention everyone was wearing pink just like she was.. She was so going to write to her parents about this... these house elfs or who ever messed up her clothes so badly.
"*cough.... cough*** hiii Professor" she said inbetween her coughs as she went to a desk and wrote her name tag.

The coughing girl knowm as Echo got a nod and a simple "Good afternoon Echo." before she turned to the next arrival, stealing another glance at her watch.

"Good morning Professor Vance."[/b] She walked on pass the professor and heading up to a seat. Spotting a empty seat right next to Cornelius she grinned. "Hello Curly." Sitting next to him. She liked having all of these classes with him so that they could sit together. She wrote her name on her name tag.

Raising a brow at the badger that addressed her next Laurel said "It's good afternoon to you too Katerina." It was after all well after lunch not after breakfast.

So there she was, strutting in the class like the queen that she was, a smirk fixed permanently onto the beauty that was her face. "Good morning, Professor. . . Whatever." She said with a curt nod of acknowledgement. It wasn't like she knew any of these new peasants.

The next student to arrive caught her full attention. She did not take disrespect in her classroom. Eyeing the girl from her old house she said curtly. "Ms Stevents, you will apologize to me right now and properly address me as Professor Vance or I will take 5 points from Slytherin house for disrespect. I will not tolerate sass in my classroom."

"Professor...". Cue dramatic cough.
This was a lot of strong smells, and though he was being dramatic at the moment, he was uncomfortable with it. He climbed up the ladder after Phillip and plopped unto the seat, at the table where Blaise was sitting. He noticed at his cousin had opted out of wearing robes all together. He however just charmed his black.

Turning her attention away from the sassy girl Laurel's eyes fell on another boy that walked in coughing. "Good afternoon Bentley." She greeted quietly.

She really hated that color, it was too girly and she had started to dislike that same color while wearing it that day. "Hello Professor" she said, still looking sour while walking to a seat as far in the back of the room, hoping to keep out of the teacher's direct view.
Sighing she folded her arms and waited for this o so boring and totally NOT interesting class to start.

The next girl to arrive looked like she had swollen a whole lemon for lunch. As long as she was respectful and followed the rules then Laurel supposed she could continue sulking. She greeted her though with a nod of her head. "Hello Leesha."

"Good afternoon, Professor," Sky greeted politely as she took note of the young professor there. Just because she didn't care for her subject didn't mean the professor was bad, right.

Another snake girl took a seat next to the sulking one. Shooting the girl a kind smile she greeted. "Good afternoon Skylar."

The next girl to arrive Laurel didn't need a nameplate to remember her name by since they had had a long conversation a few days ago in the quiet of her office. "Good afternoon Paige." Laurel greeted with a kind smile. It was good that the badger was there despite her feelings towards things.

Catching another youth's wave Laurel called over "Hello Colt, you can help Blaise open a few windows, but I expect you to close the windows you open before you leave the classroom." She was not going to do it. It wasn't she that was sweating or feeling uncomfortable.

Now here was a polite young man Laurel thought when she even got a bow from the badger which in turn got a warm smile from her. "Hello Owen."

Looking down at her attire and then up to meet the young girl's gaze and inclining her slightly in acceptance of the compliment. "Afternoon Alyce. Thank you for the compliment. You wear your pink uniform for the day well even if it clashes slightly with your lovely red hair."

The boy that followed actually wore his house robes in blue and bronze which first made Laurel think he had escaped the laundry mishap but such was not the case it turned out when the boy donned his pink robes suddenly. Confused Laurel still shot the boy a smile. "Good day Mason."

Yes, cast that charming smile. Good job, Silas. Wait...where was this smell coming from? Silas sniffed the air and couldn't help rubbed his nose. Ooph. Too strong.

Stroking out some blond strands of hair out of her face Laurel smiled broadly- "Thank you for the compliment Silas. Pink is the new black, havent you heard?"

Adjusting her robes, pulling her hair out of her vision and standing straighter Laurel felt it high time to start the lesson. With a smile tugging at her lips she spoke to the class. "Welcome everyone to another lesson in the wonderful and mysterious art known as Divination. For those who might have been absent or just not remembering from last lesson, I'm Laurel Vance and I will be your professor in this subject the year out." She paused for a few moments to let that sink in before she continued. "Before we get to our main activity for the day I'd like to test your knowledge in the subject. Can each and every one of you share one fact that you already know about divination with the rest of the class?" Sadly the notes from previous professors in the subject had been lacking in her opinion and thus she had to start off easy.

OOC: Class has now started! Please don't post arriving late after this post or there will be IC consequences, just jump in and answer the question asked as if you've been there the whole time. Everyone should list one fact/thing they know about Divination it can be anything from methods to what divination is etc. I will move on in approx 24 hours from this post.

One of the house elves appeared in the room, and it too asked why their robes were pink. Of course...they’d be concerned over it because they take care of the laundry. Well, mishaps can happen so there really is no reason to be upset about it, right? It’s just that...his robes are brand new for the year and it ended up...pink.

Seeing that the lesson has started, Jace forced himself to focus on the woman upfront and tried to ignore the strong scent that he has been inhaling the past few minutes. With eyes up front, the Ravenclaw got his writing implements out, ready to take down notes.

What is Divination?

Raising a hand, Jace waited for his turn. “Divination is a form of magic used to foretell the future.” It may be a lot of guesswork to many, but it sure does come in handy if you’re out of options.

Kimi thought and said "Well one aspect of divination to use tea leaves to read your future" Kimi was sure that was right because he remembered that his mum does this reguarly

Adjusting the cuff of her robe, Liv sat primly atop her cushioned seat; grinning widely at her peers as they trickled into the stuffy classroom. There was so much pink to be noted, and as an avid lover of the color, she wasn't even mad about it. Though, some had opted not to wear their robes. Like Blaise. She wasn't even surprised.

Pink COULD be a manly color. Gosh, Bellaire.

Ahem. BUT DIVINATION. What did she know about it? Well, funny Professor Vance should ask, because she had a TEA-rrific answer. PUNNY! "Some people use tea as a medium. They prepare the tea carefully, drink it, and then read the remaining leaves." And Olivia DID love her tea, as everyone knew ... and she couldn't help but to think that might be a cool party trick to learn. Hehe, SHE COULD THEME A TEA PARTY AROUND IT. They could dress as fortune tellers!

"Good afternoon Lancelot." Laurel greeted the boy. "Do you need a handkerchief?" Because he looked ready to blow off a sneeze at any minute.

Wiping his nose upon his sleeve, he put his quill down and looked up to the Professor.

"I'm okay. Thank you."

He was a bit giddy actually for the lesson to start. First year in divination, it had to be pretty cool right? Seeing the future??He even managed to read about it before hand and a few topics stood out to him. Not the tea stuff that people were mentioning though. No, he didn't like tea.

"You can look at the clouds in divination," he said, raising his hand.

They should all just totally go outside, considering it was probably a lot cooler out there than in here too.

Chloe wasn't sure what she could say about divination. It was the art of reading the future. There was no correct way to do it. You either had an aptitude for it or not. And so, there weren't definitive divination things. Not really, at least. Those with the sight had it. Those without could play guesstimation all they wanted but none of it proved sure fire, okay?

She rose her hand tentatively and added to the discussion, "Centaurs have their own way of practicing Divination different from humans." See? It was about divination but now how they did it. Because, well, Chloe did not have the sight. Not even a little.

This room was too bright and pink. Sean focused on the dark colors of this classroom. As Professor Vance started the lesson, Sean listened to her well whilst she spoke up. Divination is indeed mysterious. Sure they can read someone's future through teas and tarot cards and palm readings and not to mention the crystal balls but it takes a great deal to fully understand Divination. Sean doesn't believe too much in this art mainly because he believes that a person controls his own fortune, luck and future. BUT he needs to give this class a chance after all Professor Vance is just the prettiest.

One fact they already know about Divination?

Hmmm...
That is a hard question considering how much Sean doesn't believe in Divination but from previous notes he can share what he has learned in this class. Raising his hand up to answer to the teacher "One of the well-known methods of reading about your future in Divination is Cartomancy. Which is using a deck of cards." Sean said.

Ace had to wonder when young Finnlay said that what Hadley and he did with their name plates were disrespectful. He looked at the Hadzters and back at his name plate "Is it? Its just being share-y and informative.... dont mean anything bad about it."

But before he can continue with that convo, bestie Sam came and sat at the table next to them in a huff. Okay she was ticked off about something, he knew that much. He gave her a look that said talk to me later ok?

Because class was starting.....

What did he know about Divination? Well many and nothing, because Grandma was a fan and he was either too young, too distracted or too Tenacius to remember things like these properly. But as something more recent was brought up in another class, this he remembered better. Up goes the hand "Professor Socks.... Suckle.... uhm..." good grief the struggle with that name again "...uhm the Runes Professor mentioned that you would know more about Runes Divination." So yeah thats the extent of what he knew about that. A side comment from another teacher.

Wow everyone was going up agains the house elf weren't they? Natalia just sat quietly as her classmates pointed a finger. Pulling out her parchment and book she was ready to get started with the lesson. That was until the professor talked about knowing what they learned. She slid down a bit in her chair, not that she didn't know anything, but that meant they were reviewing for students who should probably not even be there.

So she doodled on her parchment for a bit listening to the others speak up. Her doodles getting her attention more she lost track of what others were saying and was starting to wonder if they would actually learn anything today. She hoped this was going to be an quick easy class.

Finally looking up she put her hand in the air, "Professor, certain beings as someone mentioned Centaurs do their own version of divination, but others do as well. Hags like to do tarot cards or crystal balls. That's why the school hired one a few terms back, isn't it?" Though she did hear that the hag was never actually hired, but it was something she was sure no one else had mentioned yet.

One fact about what he knew? Um... That wasn't much for him... He wasn't very good with divination... Could he pass? No... Um. When it came to his turn he knew he'd seem like a fool but... "Divination is the method of obtaining knowledge of the unknown or the future by means of omens... Typical ways of doing this are through astrology or crystal gazing..." Right? He hoped he was right at least.

Catching up and answering!

Okay, Dora wasn't a HUGE fan of Divination typically, but seeing as she had been absent a while, she had trudged in with everyone else... in pink robes. How did that even happen?! Ugh. She didn't understand how BLACK turned oink, but WHATEVER. After having filled out her place card she raised her hand high into the air and smiled.

Azura nodded.. "Same, I think my head is about to explode as well." She whispered back to him before the start of class. She looked down at her rather violently pink robes and she nodded. "They aren't even a lovely pink, it's more like a burn your retina's type of pink." She said softly, before nodded. "Of course.. Let's try it." She said with one last whisper before class started and she turned her attention to the Professor.

Azura smiled up at the Professor as she spoke and asked her question and Az's hand went into the air before she answered whith one fact that she knew about Divination. "There is a form of Divination called Tasseomancy, which is the art of reading tea leaves and trying to divine the meanings of the images left behind in the soggy tea leaves." They had done that last year.. Which had been pretty fun.
