Divination Classroom
 

Emma was intrigued by the subject of Divination and would never miss this class for the world. She was the first one in the classroom. "Good afternoon." she greeted the professor and sat down at a circular table.

Adrienne walked into the classroom. Her first thought was that it looked like New Age tea shop. It was cute, but mysterous at the same time. She liked it. She looked at ther Professor. "Um, hello." She looked down while saying this. Adrienne had always been intimadated by authority figures. She moved to one of the poofy chairs and settled in.

Rave walked into the classroom smiled at the professor. "Have an enjoyable summer?" she enquired politely.

Emma waited for more students to come in to class. She hoped one of her friends would come...

Romy walked into the classroom and look for a free desk as she passes by the Prof. she said politely "Hello Professor Kotkin" and the she sat down and put her bookbag on the floor. She lokes around it was her first time in the divination classroom. She was waiting for her friend Julie.

luna walked into the classroom and found a seat near the front of the class, she had really liked this class when she had looked into her orb and seen something, not everyone else did but she felt quite natural at it and it had became her fave subject ever scince. she had a good time with tea leaves too, she awnserd lots of questions and really shone during that lesson. as she sat down she shoved her bag under the table waiting for other students to come to the class.

Emma wondered when the class would really start.

Cassy entered the class cautiously and looked around before sitting near the back. Divination had always intrigued her and she was looking forward to her first lesson. She reached into her bag, pulled out parchment and a quill and placed them carefully on the desk. She looked up and smiled at the Professor. She couldn't wait for the lesson to start!

Professor Kotkin flitted around as the students started to gather. "Welcome, welcome. Adrienne, I hope you find your seat comfortable... and Rave, I had an amazing summer. I got to spend time in the water with the fish, lobster... oh, so many wonderful things to see there!" She then turned to Romy and Luna. "Hello Roma, and Luna, it's good to see you again!"


She then turned and nodded to Julie and Cassy and then said, "Ok, everyone be seated. To start with I'd like you to take turns to tell me what you would like to learn this term in Divination."

Rave looked up and saw Juile enter the classroom. She hadnt seen her cosin in a while and desided they had to meet somewhere and catch up. Waving to get her attention Rave mouthed "Meet me by the lake."

Emma saw that more people were coming. She was still the only person at her table and she craned her neck looking for someone she knew.

Sabrina raised her hand "Palmistry."

Seeing emma looking around Rave scooted over to her table and said "Hi I'm Rave Stone. MInd if I sit with you i dont fancy sitting alone."

Adrienne pondered the Professors question. Really, she din't know much about Divination, so she didn't know what there was to learn. She got out her quill and parchment, ready to take notes, and waited for her peers to respond.

Romy raised her hand: "I want to know more about the Inner Eye."

Emma grinned at Rave. "Neither do I." she said. "Sure you can sit with me."

She turned her attention to the class. "I'd like to learn how to tell the future by our dreams."

Rave raised she hand "I would like to learn more about crystal gazing and reading tea leaves."

"I would like to learn crystal gazing" Julie answered the professor's questions

Seeing what Raven mouther to Julie, she nodded to her that she got the message, and she will meet her at the lake after class.

"Crystal gazing, reading tea leaves, Inner Eye, palmistry......" Adrienne mumbled as she wrote down the other students responses. She had no clue as to what they were talking about, but that's why they call it learning, right?

Professor Kotkin listened carefully, taking notes and then stood up to write on the board. Waving her wand the words appeared.....Forms of Divination.... and then below it a list of terms to define....

Palmistry
Padomancy
Crystal Ball Reading
Tasseomancy
Hydromancy
Pyromancy
Cartomancy
Dream Interpretation
Seer

"First, I would like to cover some basics. As you all know, Divination is the form of magic where you can try to foresee the future. This magic can be imprecise, but it can be helpful to those who are gifted or talented in this area. I would like for you to define these terms for me starting with Palmistry."

(ooc: please take turns using one term only for each of you! feel free to add your own if they have been answered.)

Adrienne raised her hand. "Padomancy is the reading of the soles of the feet, as opposed to the palms."
