| | |  Divination Lesson One
Natasha sat on the weathered old armchair in the middle of the class. There was nothing out of the ordinary with the class this time; small circular tables were spread on split levels around the circular classroom and inviting pouffes were scattered all about.
She fingered the hem of her emerald green robes as she absently stirred her tea with the tip of her wand. The students should be arriving soon, and she couldn't quite think straight...not while the twin girls were still missing. | |

Jackie walked into the classroom, carrying her bags behind her, and smiled at the professer as she took her seat. "Good morning, Professor," she said as she settled herself more comfortably on her cushion.

Jaimine entered the class and took a seat in the middle she never quite understood divination, and this was her first time in a wizarding school so she was still in oblivion as to what anything ment. Jai removed her textook and notebook then set her bag beside her and waited.

Qaz entered the classroom, pleased that she was one of the first ones there. After nodding at the professor, she climbed to the back of the room and sat down.

Joe came walking into class with her school robes on. She looked around the classroom glad that the first divination class of the year would start. She took her place in a table closer to the front. While gathering her books from her bags he looked around the room to see if she would find any familiar faces. | |

Natasha smiled at the students as she wiped her wand off on her robes. She hoped there would be a few more students, but it was still a bit early so they may still be making their way up the insane amount of steps that led to her classroom.

Nat walked into the room and headed to the back, sitting on a comfortable pouffe in the corner. She gazed around, wondering what she would learn today. Catching the professors eyes as she walked in, Nat smiled nervously to her, slightly worried as this wasn't her best subject. You can only try your best, she told herself.

Kimberly walked into the classroom staring into space dreamily but when she had ran into a table she was trnsported back reality, she shook her head, nodded at the teacher and made her way to an empty chair.

Belle skipped into the classroom and went over to a table that was on the middle level of the room. She smiled at the teacher before pulling out her textbook and her quill and parchment.

Katelyn entered rather reluctantly. She thought Divination was a load of rubbish, but came to the class all the same. She sat down next to Qaz, and gave her a small wave before taking out her books and quill, and copying her name, the date, and the class on a peice of parchment. | |

Kimberly began settling herself in getting out all the materials for note taking. She had heard all around that Divination was garbage but she wanted to give it a chance, it seemed interesting anyway.

As Brooke came into the classroom, she gave a small smile to Jaimine then took a seat close to the back of the room. She put her bag on the floor next to her and took out her textbook, waiting for the class to start.

Cassandra walked into the classroom and took her seat in the front row. She looked at Professor Blaylock as she seemed as if she was in a different world. Cassandra had never seen her divination teacher so flighty. "Professor?" Cassandra started asking, genuinely concerned, "Is everything... I mean to say, is something wrong?"
Brooke was sitting in the back and usually she'd have called her over, but Cassandra felt a little guilty for picking the Ravenclaw Kennedy Jennings as her partner instead of her friend. She held her head high though thinking, Whatever it takes to make the grade.

Natasha turned to the young Slytherin with a raised eyebrow, "Hmm? I'm sorry, dear, I promise to have all my wits about me during the lesson."
She stood up from her comfortable chair and looked around at the students gathered in her circular classroom. "Hello everyone and welcome to the very first Divination lesson of the term."
She waved her wand and the trapdoor slammed shut. She winced at the way the sound was magnified by the ancient stone walls and turned to the students with an apologetic smile.
"After the disastrous efforts to bring in more experimental methods of Divination last term I figured we should start this term with the ever popular art of Tasseomancy.”
She paused, as if waiting for their reactions to that particular statement, "Any idea what Tasseomancy is?"
OOC: To the students who didn't get to post before this post, don't worry about not being able to join the lesson. Just post as if you've been in class from the very beginning. DO NOT post yourself coming in late if you like having house points.

Belle raised her hand and smiled at the teacher "A divinatory form of fortune-telling by reading tea leaves."

Qaz rasied her hand and said 'Tasseomancy is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments.' | |

"Is it a form of furtune telling using tea leaves?" Nat suggested. She thought she had heard of this before.

Jackie raised her hand, "It's another name for reading tea leaves, Professor". She was vaguely aware of what the art of reading tea leaves was and was now much more interested in the lesson.

Katelyn wrote down the question on her parchment, and bit the end of her quill, examining her neat, script handwriting with somewhat pride. She smiled, and scribbled down the answer, and smiled at the professor. She still though Divination a load of rubbish, though. | |

"Exactly!" Blaylock said with a wink to the child, "Take 2 points, dear."
She turned back to the class, "Tasseomancy...it is merely a fancy name someone made up for what is more commonly known as tea-leaf reading." Quote:

She beamed at the student, "That's right. But seeing as I’m quite averse to drinking coffee, and there is also the fact that it would be morally wrong for me to serve wine to my students…” She paused, “And well, I obviously love tea a bit too much, so we shall just do it the good old way.”
Blaylock pointed vaguely to a cupboard behind her which was stocked with antique pink and blue teacups, "Take one and bring it back to your tables...Be careful, these are OLD."
