| | |  Divination Lesson One
Natasha Blaylock finally unlocked the trapdoor and made her way up into the dark circular classroom. With a swish of her wand, she drew the curtains and let the sunshine and air in. She stood by a window, watching the scene outside as she waited for the students to trail in.
What was going on over at the Care of Magical Creatures compound? It was too far for her to see... | |

Rhiannon added to what the Gryffindor, and several others, had said. "Fortune-telling at Muggle fairs is generally used to get money. And often is strictly for entertainment purposes. The so-called 'fortune tellers' often just pretend to actually be able to predict things. Actual divination is much more difficult and people don't generally do it on a whim."

Grinning at Jack's passionate rejection of the statement, Blaylock asked another question, "So... do you think Divination is real?"
She paused before going on, watching the students' reactions closely, "Who here truly believes that by following certain precise steps, throwing in a handful of interpretation and having a whole lot of belief can come up with a sure prediction?"

"Not quite, though it can be. As Muggles may use scrying objects, cheiromancy and cartomancy to extract a bit of news for their patrons. In most cases, though, I would say it isn't, simply for the fact that at muggle fairs, usually a divinations booth is set-up for entertainment purposes and nothing else." 'Except to take your money, of course.' He thought, but did not say outloud.

Jack was silent for a second before shaking his head again.
"Nahh. I don't think so." He said, being sceptical again. "I mean, I've never seen anything to make me believe that Divination was real."

"I think in order to have it be true Divination you need to have that other factor, the talent for insight that a true seer possesses. But sure, you can make a real prediction even without it, just based on being open to what you see when you follow the steps of divining... And once you have made the prediction you might make choices based on what you 'know' from your prophecy, and therefore you make what you believe become your future reality-- a self-fulfilling prophecy." Xana offerred.

H'mm, that was tricky. But, he supposed that it would be possible. Seers did exist, afterall. Rare, but they did exist. Why else would the Ministry put together a hall of prophecies,... so he heard. He put his hand up.

Rhiannon nodded as a response to the professor's question. She believed in Divination.She only wished that someone had used it before her parents had died, so that maybe they would still be alive today. She had never really seen something that had been predicted happen, but that didn't make her disbelieve that it could.

Amelia slowly raised her hand skeptically. "I think that that it can be real, but there are people who don't believe in it. Although the more you believe in something, then the more you could convince yourself that its true."

Qaz was getting very uncomfortable. The room was way to warm for her to think...especially in all of these clothes. A tank top and shorts would be better in this heat. Trying hard to concentrate, she took notes of what everybody was saying.

Suppressing a smile at the boy's answer, Natasha simply nodded before looking over at Cassandra, "Yes, Cassandra, what do you have to say in defense of Divination?"

"My mother is a seer, all of her predictions have come true. The interpretation can be wrong at times, but that is when a witch or wizard with an untrained eye is scrying." she said.

Alandra looked at Cassandra waiting for her answer. She, herself personally, had a great love for Divination. The mere power and mystery of it enthralled her.

Pushing throught the window, the little monkey sneak inside the room trying to make himself as quiet as possible. This seems like a strange room with all differents sort of things. Peaking in one of the creature bag (Amelia), he was searching for more foods.

There it was again! The one and same monkey from Care of Magical Creatures. It had to be. How many monkies could there be roaming around Hogwarts. He must've gotten away from Professor Clark and his cages. Sly lil devil! He followed the creature with his eyes, wondering if it would be wise to speak up on it's presence. It could afterall, just remain silent and keep to itself during the lesson.

Rhiannon's eyes widened as she sees a monkey crawl through the window and look into Amelia's bag, which was not far from her own. The same monkey from CoMC, she thought, Was this class going to end up in chaos too?
She didn't think Amelia had noticed, and wasn't sure she should say anything. So she simply sat there, occasionally glancig down to see what the critter was doing now.

Jack frowned when Cassandra explained about her mother. "And can you tell the future?" He asked her, "'Cause apparantly it's passed down.."

Qaz thought she was hallucinating from the heat, but no, it really is a monkey. Must be the same one. As long as the cat didn't show they would be save. This class was going to get real interesting very soon.

"Mhm. Training." He said sarcastically, raising an eyebrow. "I thought you were born with the 'inner eye'." He muttered.

Raising her eyebrows, but not to her feet (cos that just took far too much effort) Natasha eyed the creature apprehensively as it rummaged through her prefect's bag.
"... is that a... monkey?" she asked her husband and students, just to clarify that she wasn't going mental.
