Divination Lesson 2 - Astrology - The Moon and More
Antonio busied himself about the classroom, getting ready for the students who were about to enter the room. There were two posters on the wall behind him, both very large and able to be seen by the entire classroom. One showed the standard astrological signs and their meanings, and the second one showed the solar system of our galaxy.
There were also some textbooks set up on the desk at the front of the room:
Antonio prepared to greet each student as they filed into the room. They were going to be covering a lot of material in this lesson and the next one, and he wanted to be sure that everyone understood what they were doing. By the time the final lesson was over, every student in this room should be able to figure out how to read a chart, or at least figure out what the planets were in a chart and their meanings. He hoped so, anyway.
"Good morning, everyone. Come in and take a seat and we'll be getting started shortly," he greeted.

YAY Divination!
YAY because that meant he was going to have lots lots lots of fun! And he was going to make up for missing the first class because of...gah whatever. Hehehe that was ordinary stuff.
''Hello, Professor Dumont!'' he said cheerfully, and of cource loudly again the very moment he walk into the class and thought about gaining Gryffindor a little bit points to make for the ones he had lost at least this class.
As he walked towards the seats and claimed one from the front row, he grinned at the thought of how a natural was he at Divination and how most girls liked it. Teehee

So.. Oliver had no problems finding the Divination classroom this lesson.
He wandered into the classroom and grinned at the professor. “Mornin', Professor Dumont.” He nodded at the man then eyed the Astrology posters. Oh maan.. it was such a girly subject – he wanted to delve into the fun side of Divination.. like throwing entrails over your shoulder and all that shizz. The manly stuff.. ya know?
Shrug.
He wandered over to sit down and waited, as patiently as he could for someone so full of hyper twitchy energy, for the class to begin.

Marie walked into class only to find none other than Rex sitting there.
Yippee!!!!! That meant Kay would probably be along soon too, oh what a fun class this would be.
"Good morning Professor Dumont" she said as she found a seat in the back of the room, faaaaaar away from Rex. Hopefully Destiny and Evelyn would show up soon so shewould have someone sane to talk to.

Gah!
Josh and Rex in this class..
And a lot of books!? Oh Merlin, they were going to LEARN things today! Not that they never learned anything before..now it just seemed they were going to be learning A LOT of something.
There was no way she was going to sit anywhere near Rex. No way. Finding a seat as far away from his as possible, Destiny pulled out the things she thought she would need, 'Helloooo, Professoooor!'
Yes! Marie was here!

Arya walked into the classroom with her bag slung over her shoulder. Her eyes were on the posters at the front of the classroom as she walked to her seat and threw her bag on the desk."Hello Professor." Sitting down she waited for class to start.

Yes! Marie was here!
" Oh, Hi Destiny, ready for class?" Rex asked her. " You arre like Marie, a far out girl" Rex told Destiny.
Miranda hurried inside the classroom, her bag over one shoulder and ready to start learning stuff about astrology. Wooot!"Good Moooorning, Professor Dumont. How are you today?" Miranda smiled and headed towards a desk at the frrront.
Her hair falling over the sides of her face, Ivory stepped into the classroom with her head ducked down over the textbook she was carrying.
She'd heard this class was going to be a doozy and was trying to cram as much last minute information as possible. Her eyes skimming over passages and meanings and diagrams, she feet led her through the door and past a few rows of desks.
Obviously such good luck had to end and she was bound to bump into something eventually. In this case, it was somebody's stray foot. Before her brain even registered what was going on, she was falling. One minute staring at the black letters on a page the next speeding towards the edge of a desk her book flying in the air.
Luckily, she was able to bend her leg at the last minute and catch her book by the front cover, landing on one knee and looking for all the world as if she was proposing with a book.

"Are you ok?" Rex asked the girl. " my name is Rex Trigwell and You probably do not have the problem I did but I had been clumsy all the time in front of cute girls and women" Rex said to her. "" I had amnesia, healer helped me out and now I am not clumsy anymore so maybe if you are clumsy, which you are probably not, thee healer can help you but you probably do not need her" Rex explained to her.
Sarah pulled herself into the Divination classroom, oddly not in the mood to do lessons.She was tired, having not slept a wink that night.Wesley's mutterings about the 'Hufflepuff Killer' had got her paranoid as well.Not good.
Yawning, something she tried to muffle behind her hand, Sarah dragged her bag along the floor and made a beeline for an empty seat.Stopping just before she sat down to give a small wave and smile to Dumont "Good...." *yawn* "...morning, Professor Dumont." Oh yeah.Dignified.
"Good morning, students," Antonio greeted each student one by one. "I hope you are doing well today and ready to make a very exciting discovery today, your own personal astrological reading! We won't be doing that just yet, today we'll only be working on the moon sign, but we are going to be talking about the meaning of each of the planets in your own personal astrological chart and what the impact is on your life. Because each of those planets does control an area of your life, your personality.
Last lesson, we learned about the sun sign. The sun sign is way too broad to base any reading off, that's why general astrological predictions such as you might read in either a wizarding or muggle newspaper are always very general and accurate. To get a true reading you have to know the position of all the planets as well as what houses they may be in. We won't be going into that this term, though, just the planet themselves.
For this lesson we'll learn more about the moon sign and the impact of the planets, as I said. For the final lesson of this term we will begin to figure out how to compute our own personal charts, and there is a useful tool to help you do that which you will be learning about. But not in this lesson." Antonio laughed.
"So, I'm going to wait for a while and we will get started discussing the moon and its impact," he finished.

Evleyn SPRINTED as fast as she could! Stupid over sleeping! How could it do this to her!? She thought she and sleep were friends!
Huffing, and gasping for air, she made it to the classroom and paused juuuust outside. Composing herself, she wiped the tiny beads of sweat off of her forehead and took a deep breathe before entering the room and looking around. Oh good Josh was here. And...so was Marie and Destiny. But, they were practically sitting on the opposite sides of the room. Oh how she hated choosing between these people.
But really, she hadn't really sat next to Josh in class in awhile. So, giving an apologetic look over to Marie and Destiny, she went over and sat next to Josh. Even if it meant...sitting in the front. *shiver*
And the Professor started to speak. Sooo they were going to be talking about their moon sign. Huh. Well, only made sense since they had studied their sun sign last lesson.

Resisting the almost overwhelming temptation to guffaw (although a small snicker did escape his lips) at the girl falling to her.. er.. knees.. and then the conversation which followed with the boy named after a dog, Oliver smirked and looked away, focusing instead the on Yellow prefect on her way into the classroom. She was looking more than a little worse for wear. Also rather funny. Smirk.
As she slid into the empty seat beside him, he turned his head to look at her, smirk still in place and his eyes glinting mischievously. “Mornin', sleepy.” he nudged her playfully with his elbow. “Rough night?” heh. “You look...” Like what? “.. like the living dead.” heh.
Walking into the Divination classroom, she see Rex. Kay started to walk over to him and hears him talking to Marie and Destiny. Starting to giggle remembering her last class with them she sits down next to Rex. "Hi, love. Are you being nice? Kay asked smiling at him. Looking up to the front of the room she see the Professor. "Hello, Professor Dumont. How are you today." Still smiling she looked back and smiled at Marie and Destiny. Turning back Kay got her things out for class.

Until she heard the d word.
Turning around in her chair, mouth gaping, Wesley stared at that curly haired boy behind her. The one from the last class.
"D-don't s-say that!" she pleaded, taking in Sarah's poor appearance with concern.
"Nobody's going to d-d-d," unable to say it, the Hufflepuff moved on, "Nobody else is going to get hurt."

Jack wandered into the Divination tower, taking his usual seat near the middle of the room. He was not in a good mood, and he was still stressing over his girlfriend, who had most likely been ATTACKED by someone in this very castle. There were huge bags under his eyes and he sighed, running a hand through his limp hair. Worrying about her was making HIS health suffer.
"Hello Professor," he said, putting on a smile as he sat. He looked around and noticed the solar system chart behind Dumont---OOOOOH. That might take his mind off of things for a while!

Josh laughed when Rex remarked that Gryffindor was going to rule this class ''Of course!'' he said with a serious nod ''We just rule at everything'' ha ha! Then he was about to speak further on Gryffindor lion pride when he got distracted by Destiny's voice and afterwards sight.
His eyes searched for Rose around her but...no...she was no where at sight yet... Why did not she bring her hmm? With the thought he took a half eaten chocolate out his pocket and threw it towards the Slytherin girl ''Destiney!'' and of course stopped it immediately when the professor started to talk...
...then someone else sat beside him. YAY! ROSE! ''Welcome, Silver Viper'' he whispered with a grin ''It's good to see you'' Hehehehe. He was going to be with her in a Divination class: more fun! But at first he had a question to ask the professor.
''Professor! Professor!'' the Gryffindor jumped on his feet ''Are we going to analyze personalities?'' ha?

Nobody.
Say wha?
Oliver turned away from looking at Sarah to look at a small girl who was addressing him. She looked terrified. The smirk instantly faded on his lips. For some reason the way the girl was talking made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
D-d-d- "Die?". He finished her sentence a little louder than he mean't too. But that was what she was going to say, wasn't it? He frowned realising what his words could be interpreted as. Hadn't Sarah been one of the girls who escorted Miranda up to the hospital wing the night that...that... *gulp*
But hold on just one little second here. Oliver had been attacked, operated on, or whatever, and he had got over it. He was carrying on as normal and -he glanced over at Miranda- she seemed to be pretty cheerful too. He was forcing himself NOT to dwell on it.. otherwise.. otherwise... he would lose it completely.
He made a face and tugged at his fried ear, immediately regretting that move and his hand dropped to the desk as he flinched. Not as well healed as he thought.
“You reckon?” He whispered. “Can you guarentee me that cos I sure as hell don't want to wake up like that again.”
Sad eyes. He had been in such a good mood and now he just felt miserable and sorry for himself.
Pout.

Lucy walked into her Divination classroom, a smile on her face. Yes, she was going to ace her OWLS. Well, maybe not cause she was a bit lost, but...hmm she really needed to start doing her homework.
Taking a seat near the back, she dropped her bag next to her desk, and smiled up at the professor. "Hello Porfessor Dumont!"
Bella walked into the classroom, she smiled as she looke around and saw all the other students. She liked this lesson, and she was willing to learn. Smiling to herself she sat down into a seat, "Hello Professor" She said, as she looked round again. She didnt know anyone, but she hoped she did.
Jacob half ran into the classroom. Was he late? nope right on time.
Jacob walked further into the room. alrighty, let go. He took a seat and waited for class to started. He was still breating heavily, and looked up at the professor. Wondering whether or not it was going to be a good class. He hoped there was a point to coming today.
