Well, it looked like Benny would spend the rest of his sixth year sneezing the Castle down if these dust and webs continued. The poor bestie. Though Adi didn't particularly appreciate him sitting that far from him. Hmph. "Yo, Dragon.''
...................
Soooo, they would be working with ickle Bob again. WOOT! Could they get to watch him and his ball antics for a while longer though? Adi found that VERYYY entertaining. Yup! And of course he knew Cassie wouldn't be harming the turtle. As if she could harm a soul...
Oh, new cracks on the shell. Adi could see one of those so he raised a hand. "There's one that's going downward but it's all zig zaggy.'' Could Cassie see it? It was riiiiiiight there. Mhmmm. "It could mean that choices that will all result in negative things.'' How exactly did he reason that? Well, the crack going upward and zig zag meant a choice of something good and another of something with complications. A normal crack going downward meant negativity and sadness sooooooo he combined those two meanings to come up with that new one. "Yes very good Adi!" He received snaps for such a fantastic answer. She looked at the shell and then back out to the group.

Angel raised her hand. "Professor, there's a straight line there." Angel pointed at it. "It's moving upwards, then it turns downwards" Angel thought about the next thing. "That means you will find yourself with a great opportunity to advance in your personal life, right Professor?" "Wonderful job, that's exactly what that means. Now if you would put the two readings together that Adi said and you what do you think that would mean?" This is where things always got tricky. Of course Angel got snaps for a great answer!

Lifting her tea cup Hady took another sip of the hot liquid enjoying the peppermint taste it left in her mouth. Holding her cup close to her body so it wouldn't spill she continued to take slow even breaths inhaling the soothing scents around her and allowing herself to relax a little as the lesson began.
From what she gathered of the Professors words they'd be working with Bob again. Or well at least something to do with turtles and or their shells. Slowly raising her hand into the air she gave the one answer she could remember and that hadn't yet be given, "There's a line going straight across the shell. I think that one means that you'll be staying on the same path you're on now, nothing will be changing." Thinking back to the lines she'd gotten on her turtle shell during the previous lesson Hady wished a straight line across would've been one of them...sadly it hadn't been. She glanced at the line before looking back to Hady, "Very good. You have a great sense of reading shells." What a positive reading too! She got snaps!

"I'm glad Bob's doing well too!" Yeah. Super super glad.
Were they not reading from the snap cup today? That was weird but Toby just went along with it; maybe Professor Cassie was switching it up and doing the proud moments at the end of the lesson instead or something.
As for the cracks in the shell, Toby squinted as he tried to remember what some of them were and what they meant. He'd sort of attempted to forget his own try at reading the cracks in the shell that one lesson. Cleansed it from his memory like he always did with unfavourable things. But that made it harder to remember the relevant things. Still, he raised his hand to give it a go.
"Is it... I think there's one were... a crack in the shell moving upwards means, like... maybe a positive thing? Like, good things will happen?" Logically, that sounded right. Maybe. Kind of. "I can't... remember." Y'know, just a disclaimer there.
Yeeeaaahhhh... Toby needed to step up his Divination studying game. He'd been far too focused on the subjects he usually had trouble with so that now he'd forgotten to keep up with the others. The same had happened with his OWLs, but Toby was confident he could get back on top of things like he'd done before. Yeah. Sure. Cool cool cool. She kept a watchful eye on Toby, she was still worried about the lad, but he seemed to be doing alright today. "Very good Toby, that is certainly a great answer!" He was getting snaps as well.

This was a "there's no wrong answers" kind of class. AJ sure did appreciate that.
Oh, tea? "I would actually love some." How did she miss it? The fourth year got up and helped herself to some. "Thanks." Oh, did Lux want some too? She probably should have asked. No time to worry about that now though because the lesson was moving on.
Umm... she did see the zig zag that some of the others pointed out. This was the part where you could really say anything... Raising her hand, she waited to be called on. "I think the zig zag means that you should abort whatever plans you had going because they are doomed for failure." See. Totally pulled that answer out of left field. Even if it wasn't technically correct it still wouldn't matter. "Sometimes though failure is a good learning tool. We need to fail to succeed at times. How awful would it be to just succeed always in life. What would we learn by that?" She gave her snaps for a brilliant answer though, "you are correct on your reading though." She also got a beaming smile.

She thought she saw some sort of zig zag ish....thing, so she put a hand up just in case she WAS seeing correctly. Apparently it was a bad day to not be wearing her glasses, even if they DID get in the way of everything fun. Usually she could get away with squinting but apparently turtle shells were too cool for that. Sigh. "I think there's a zig zag and that means you're going to have a make a choice that will end up really good or really bad." Yes no maybe so? She added a doodle of a turtle to the top of her parchment, just in case they were going to get to work with their own shells again and her turtle needed a friend. Was this one having a hard time seeing? "Norah are you alright? If you need to move closer please feel free. I don't bite, promise." She beamed at the child and gave her snaps for her answer. "There will be two paths, very good."

She gently patted his shell. Waving at Lux, too.Then she headed over to her seat where Emmy joined her and Kace soon joined them. Hey people.
-------------------------------
It was long that she had sat down and took a few sips of her tea that professor Cassie started the lesson. She listened to the others giving their answers. She nodded in agreement with them. Cinna didn't feel very opinionated on the subject today. A rare thing for her. So she just sat there sipping on her tea.
Well then continuing to listen the opinions popped in her head. "If the crack is straight across then things will stay the same as they are right now and continue that way." She ended with a nod. She wouldn't mind getting a reading like that. She was very happy about the way things were going for her right now. She saw the touching and was going to say something of no touching Bob, but Bob seemed calm today. Maybe all of them would get a chance to pet him later. "Very good Cinna, those are my favorite cracks at times." She liked change, but she liked when things were staying nice and the same. Snapping she moved on to the next hand.

Then it was time for class to begin. The first question had do do with cracks in turtle shells. Janelle thought back to the previous lesson and then raised her hand. "If the crack goes in a downward direction, it means that bad or sad things are in store for you." That would definitely be a crack that Janelle hoped she wouldn't see. No time for negative things here. Nope. "Great answer Janelle" She got snaps as well. These students of hers were so super smart!! Wonderful day to be a teacher.

She tried to go over all of them in her head, but as her classmates started sharing their own answers, Kate's line of thinking kept getting interrupted. She was trying to come up with something that hadn't been said, but with everyone else sharing answers, too, she couldn't remember what had been said and what hadn't.
"What about a crack that goes straight downward?" she asked, raising her hand. "It means negativity and sadness." Speaking of which, how were you supposed to tell if the crack started up top and moved downward, or if started at the bottom and moved upward? Because, both of those meant two different things. "Very good Kate if a crack moves downward it does mean negative things." She gave her snaps and was glad they weren't having negative things here today!
As she snapped for the class something hit her.
"OHMYGOSH!!!!"
She hurried over to the snap cup, "I got so excited to start our lesson I forgot the most important part. Let's get the positive vibes flowing shall we?" Oh yes they shall. Pulling out the very first snap she looked it over. "I'm proud of myself for being able to handle most of my problems on my own. Snaps for solving our own problems." That was a great one for everyone that could do this. She moved on to the next snap and the next until she had read every single snap. "Finally deciding my career" Snaps for figuring out careers "Moved on from toxic and irrelevant hags." Hmm.. well.. ummm Snaps for moving on." Yes that last one was very interesting, but they were moving on and moving on was a positive things.
"Now we have talked about what the cracks mean, which all of you have done very well at remembering. If you need a refresher you can find it in your text book that you have brought with you today. Before we do get started with the shells though, who could tell me the steps that are needed to preform plastromancy?"
Oh.. She glanced at Bob as she sensed some anxiety from him. No, no don't worry Bob no one was doing this on you!!
