... So... that was... blood? Um. Oh. It shouldn't have been such a bad thing, because they worked with animal blood and stuff in Potions all the time, and MAYBE he should have expected it. But, uh... yeah. He hadn't. Toby eyed the vials for just a moment, but there was work to be done, something he was reminded of when an oracle thingy turned up at his desk. At least these were gathered humanely. That was good.
Right then, first off... name carving Toby could do that. He grabbed his wand and pointed it at the oracle section of shell he had. "Intaglio..." Usually the spell was done with runes, but Toby thought it could also work quite well here. It was still carving, after all, he just didn't need to keep chanting. "Intaglio." ... "Intaglio."
Eventually, he'd done it, carved 'Toby' on the shell. Except, uh... huh. The seventh year raised his hand. "Professor, do we have to carve our full name onto it? I'm not sure mine will fit, but what if I end up doing a reading for another Toby?" Not that he'd mind, really, but he'd never know if he was right about it. And... come to think of it. "... And was I supposed to write 'Tobias'? Or is 'Toby' okay?" Quote:

She was just too sweet for that. The sixth year just sit back listened and took notes. She didn't feel like doing much talking today. Just listening to the lesson, that was all. Asking questions when and if she had them.
First she was suppose to carve a name into the shell. So she carved her name into the turtle shell. She would have to do this rather small since her name was fairly long. She started out carving C-I-N-N-A- She looked at Cassie when Toby ask her the very same question that she was thinking. "Yeah, My full name is pretty long too." She look up and waited to hear Cassie's response to Toby's question and looked down the only way it was fitting was it was going to have to be very small. She was going to leave just Cinna, if she could. Who didn't call her that? In fact she was thinking about Just going by Cinna or Cinnamon and dropping the whole last name part, she could do that right? All sorts of awsome people went by one name.
Merlin. Beyonce. Madonna. Oz. Michelangelo. Oprah.
Yeah this was getting way of off the subject of divination. Oppps. Oh good, no one seemed to have any issues with using Dragon's blood or the shells themselves. She had feared she'd have some try to say they couldn't do it, but she had a great class as always! Just look at the gas lesson even the girls were awesome in it! Turning her head she heard first Toby and then Cinna ask similar questions, "Well you both are dominantly called by your nicknames so I feel those would work. They aren't some crazy off the wall names just a shortened version of your full name. As for your last name Toby, you could try to carve small, but you could also just use Fuller or Thomas. I don't see the reading being off since they are both part of you whether you use them together or not. " Hoping that answered the question she turned as the next voice caught her attention.
SPOILER!!: Aj Quote:

AJ would have bet money that he was. Well then. This was why they weren't Ravenclaws, huh? Speaking of Ravenclaws, Eden was spot on with her oracle bone mess. And that was what exactly? How did they know this stuff? AJ knew hip bones, and things like that, but oracle bones? Pffft. Get out of here with that mess.
"We get to drink dragon blood?" Her eyes lit up for a second before she realized that wouldn't be happening. Of course it wouldn't be. "Oh, right..." It was for the shell. Made sense, but AJ kind of wanted to drink it. No reason why she did other than she was a bit out there. She bet it tasted magical.
Obviously she was going to pick the vial that had dragon blood in it. Now she needed to get this turtle shell cracking. First, she needed her name carved into it. Picking up her wand, she got down to business. Before her very eyes was Aubrey written pretty sloppily on the turtle shell. It was still get the job done though.
Hearing Aj she looked at her confused a second, had she not heard the direction, but then it seemed like she figured it out. "I would never make you drink any sort of blood. Nor would I ask you to do anything that could potential make you sick." Giving her a smile she looked around for anymore questions.
Seeing that everyone was finishing their shells, Cassie made her way back to the front of the room. Flicking her wand and allowing pictures of shells and meaning to appear on the board. "Now the readings are all based on the way the crack looks, but also the direction it's heading. Many times if the crack is heading downward it is meaning something more challenging or not great news, if it is moving upward it's usually more positive." She loved to think of it as uplifting since it was moving up.
"For the remainder of the class I would like you to look at your shell and jot down what it looks like and then follow the pictures I have put on the board or find the page in your text. Write down what the meaning of the cracks could be. If you have two different cracks you might want to pull them together and think of the meaning behind it. If the top crack is moving downward it could mean some challenges ahead, but the lower is moving upward could mean that you will come out on top and have good come out of the challenge."
Quote: Crack is a straight line that moves upward before turning down: You will find yourself with a great opportunity to advance in your personal life. Crack is going upward, but not in a straight more of a zig zag form: You will be faced with choice one will be a good choice the other will give you great complications. Crack is going straight across: You will continue on the path you are on right now. You will maintain the mood and happenings that are in your life at this point. Crack is going downward: You will be facing a situation that will involve negativity and sadness. Crack is moving straight upward: Good things will come to you. You will find yourself faced with riches and success. OOC: Hey everyone, if you haven't done the first two post for the cracking part go ahead and finish those up! I'm sorry Felix and Sarah I wasn't feeling good yesterday and didn't get to post with your answers! Just as the direction says have your charrie figuring out what their shells are telling them. I'll post to wrap up the lesson in the a.m. EST tomorrow! You guys rock!!
