Thereos was, to say the least, disappointed in many of the facial expressions and reactions to the activity. Did students forget that everybody performed this act and that it was not something taboo? Scatomancy was a celebration of the body's natural ways, not something to be scorned nor wrinkle a nose at. Not all, however, were disappointing and the centaur took careful note of just who those select elite few were.

It wasn't until she felt and heard the toots that she raised her eyes but not dare her head. She giggled at the vibration but looked concerned around the room. "Do fairies use miniature toilets and if so do we have any?" There was one thing Chloe wasn't wanting today and that was poop in her hair even if it was most likely filled with glitter and smelled like roses coming from these really cute creatures.
Miss McCarthy being among the elite. Though before he could address her question, she was given her answer. Nothing further to comment there, Thereos allowed his attention move elsewhere.

DID THE FAIRY JUST RELIEVE ITSELF ON ANALIESE'S PALM?!?!?!

"EEEEEEK!" She jumped about ten feet into the air. And then Thereos caught her eye. "S-sorry about that, s-sir." Fortunately yet at the same time very unfortunately, the fairy's excrement remained on her hand. Fortunate because she had scatomancy to do. Unfortunate because of hygiene reasons. Awkwardly one-handed Analiese opened her textbook to page 202. She observed the excrement and came to the conclusion that she needed to take caution, be wise with her money, and needed to 'put away childish indulgences'.
Specifically to the screams of yet another student. "I would apologize to the creatures, those fairies specifically, rather than myself," he cautioned with a set jaw. "Depending on your sincerity I may exclude you from joining Miss Castillo in detention."

If she couldn't see them then they couldn't see her.

RIGHT??

Wrong. Clearly.

At this point she could hear Thereos giving more instructions on the other side of the """"classroom""", but Nina couldn't be bothered. She was stuck frozen in utter FEAR!!!!!!!!! UM HELLO????????? Again, she made uneasy noises with her lips sealed and when the Niffler TOOTED again, all color fell from her face.

SHE WANTED TO GAG.

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew," she whimpered, bouncing up and down a little bit. Get it off, get it off, get it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of the girl...the centaur's brow knitted more tightly as she continued to under perform in his lessons.

"To the task, Miss Castillo. We have all suffered your screeching enough," he scowled at the girl. Her apparent obsession with material possessions, those sparkly hoops danging from her ears specifically, was off putting and a clear distraction to the divine art.

If she didn't get credit, her grade would suffer. If her grade suffered, she would look bad, and…

She had to take a deep breath to stop herself from spiraling into a state of panic. Maybe she could make up a reading instead? She consulted the page in her textbook, searching for information to make a convincing reading, when she read something fitting. 0 - your future is clouded in uncertainty… Duh! As if she needed divination to tell her that! Every day in this stupid school consisted of nothing but uncertainty. Still, as useless as that prediction was, it was the one that made the most sense for her reading. She knew there were demiguise droppings, but she couldn't see them, so that was basically 0, right?
Dismissing his attention from the Slytherin girl, Thereos' gaze easily fell upon the Ravenclaw and the stars fading within her eyes. Such concern with failure, these Hogwarts students. He himself found her situation rather humorous.

"The sun does not cease to shine simply because it is masked by clouds," the centaur said sagely to her while resting a firm hand upon her shoulder. "It simply means today is not the day for it to shine upon us." He paused and then nodded a firm chin towards her parchment, his way of encouraging her to write what she had witnessed. "Do not fight the wheel of destiny, but learn to rotate with it."

And then he was off, slowly walking back towards the collection of stumps.

"I fear that our time has come to a close," he announced boldly with his hands cupped around his mouth. "Place your scatomancy readings upon this stool and, with the exception of Miss Castillo and Miss Allanach-Senchuri, you may be dismissed."
OOC: that's all he wrote! This lesson has officially come to a close but will remain open for approximately another 12 hours for anyone wishing to play a bit of catch up or wrap up their RPing. The creature accounts will continue to interact with you as best they can, but you are free to take some creative liberties at this time.

This also brings us to the end of RP'd Divination lessons for the term. Thank you everyone gave us your time and creative energy <3 you have all been amazing! Looking forward to seeing you all around the Hogwarts RPG forums as the school term draws to a close.
