Penelope was excited for the divination lesson. She had enjoyed the last divination lesson and the SNAC meeting, and seeing Professor Cassie always made her happy. Smiling, she entered the divination classroom. The room had that familiar scent of lavender and music, but it seemed empty. There were mirrors around the room. What would they be doing with the mirrors? Where was Professor Cassie? Even though the professor was not there, the snap cup was there, so Penelope wrote her proud moment on the parchment and put it in the snap cup.

Divination.

It was one of her favorite classes. Not that she had many favorites to begin with. You know just the average not a lot of work lessons. Now if Hogwarts had a art class. Yes the would be her favorite. And probably only class that she would ever take.

She was in a very good mood, she walked from the common to the divination tower and climb up through the trapdoor. Was she the first one there? Uhmm second Well that's a first. Better than second to last. Mmmmm no professor Cassie, yet? She went on and headed to a seat. This was an interesting setup for a divination lesson and so many mirrors. Wonder how many girls were going to stare at themselves all lesson. Oh right the snap cup thing. She wrote something down fast and put it in the cup.

Jasmine arrived at the Divination classroom wondering what Professor Cassie had in store for the class today. The classroom set up was a little differently and what was up with all the mirrors? Looking around, Jasmine didn't see the Professor. That was unusual. The Snap Cup was there though. At least some things remained the same.

Jasmine saw one of her housemates and greeted her. "Hi Penelope", she said with a smile. Then she found a seat and took out her quill. What was she proud of? Getting an idea, she began to write.

Ian walked up to the tower for his newly favorite class. He climbed up through the trapdoor and was greeted by the familiar lighting, scents and sounds. What he was not greeted by was his favorite professor. He frowned, as he had worked up an extra special greeting. He had even practiced a little rhythmic snapping. He tried to hide his disappointment. Of course it was hard to hide it when there were mirrors EVERYWHERE.

He walked up to the cup and scribbled out a moment of pride. He dropped the parchment, folded into the cup. Then he went over to a seat and sat down, watching the trapdoor, hoping to see the professor.

Norah poked her head into the Divination room and raised her eyebrows. Mirrors...lots of mirrors. Resisting the urge to make funny faces, she walked towards an empty seat like the mature almost-thirteen-year old she was. Heh. Mature, yep.

She pulled out her quill and scribbled down a proud moment, skipping to the front of the room to drop it into the snap cup. Woohoo, all done. Back in her seat, Norah scanned the room, waving at Jasmine and Ian, and noticing that the professor was nowhere to be seen....strange.

When Zander walked in the first thing he took note of was the change in the set up... Where'd the small tables go? But when he also noticed that the crystal balls were missing, he let out a small sigh of relief. Didn't need to fail at anymore of that scrying stuff. It was hard enough trying to get it the first time, let alone have another lesson about it. Except, what was up with the mirrors? And...... Where was Professor Morgan?

The only thing that was really the same was the cup. Except today he didn't really have a proud moment. And since Professor Morgan wasn't here to see.... He ignored the cup all together and ran to a table to get a seat. Hopefully she wouldn't really notice. It wasn't that he didn't want to write anything down, he just couldn't think of anything to write about. Proud wasn't really a word he'd use to describe anything that had happened so far this term.

It was eerily silent in the room, except for the music. She had been the first to arrive, and no one else was there yet. Penelope was starting to wonder if she was really really early for the lesson, or if the lesson had been cancelled and she hadn't been notified, or if everyone had died or poofed like the pixies and the troll or been possessed by that fairy tale book. Another person entered the room. Good, she wasn't the only one to show up for this lesson. That gave her another snap cup idea. They were allowed to put multiple pieces of parchment in the snap cup, right?

SPOILER!!: another proud moment

I am proud that Ravenclaw is in second place in the House points race.

Oooh, Jasmine was here! Penelope loved the Ravenclaw prefect. Jasmine was awesome. "Hi Jasmine!" Penelope sat down next to the older Ravenclaw girl.

Marigold inhaled deeply as she entered the classroom. She hadn't realized before, because she always considered herself down to earth, but she really liked Divination class. It was calming and rewarding, if she got the activity right. She was relaxed already, coming into class, so she glided in and smiled at the others. Norah, Zander, and Cinna all got smiles and nods. She had PLANNED what to write in the snap cup today, and so she put it in happily.

Where... was Professor Morgan? Toby looked all around him as he entered the classroom, blinking as he was suddenly hit with that familiar smell of lavender. Huh. Maybe she was hiding or something.

But the snap cup was there, and Toby headed straight for it. Okay. So. Proud moment.

Uh... Toby had no idea. He'd not done anything recently that he was all that proud of, quite the opposite in fact. The Hufflepuff stood there for a moment, biting his lip thoughtfully, trying to think of SOMETHING to write. Eventually, he just went with:

Well, they deserved the recognition, okay? Dogs were amazing.

That done, Toby went to find himself a seat and wait for class to start.

The first thing Lux noticed upon entering the classroom was Professor Morgan's absence. The second was the layout of the room. No more small tables, and there were mirrors everywhere. At least the sent of lavender had remained, as soothing as ever.

"Hey, Cinna!" Taking a seat beside her best friend, Lux pulled out a piece of paper so that she could write down her proud moment. What was she proud of? There was the hard work she was doing, but she had already written about that so something new would be nice. After a moment she figured it out and happily wrote it on the paper:

Quote:

I am proud to have so many amazing people in my life.

Skipping over to the cup, she dropped her piece of paper in before heading back to her seat. Hopefully Bay and her other friends would arrive soon as well as Professor Cassie.

There wasn't much in the way of surprises as he entered through the trap door, the music, the smells... ugh.. the smells... but then, there weren't any crystal balls, there were mirrors instead. Hhmmm.

Zeke paused in front of one - not to check himself out or anything, but to see if it was a MAGICAL!WEIRD mirror. But he couldn't tell at this point in time. Eventually, Zeke claimed a spot at the looooooong table, and waited for the lesson to begin. Seeing as there was no Professor Cassie yet, it might take a while....

To fill the time, Zeke took a slip of parchment and after scribbling a short message, added it to the snapcup thing.

SPOILER!!: SNAPCUPPPP message

I'm proud of representing Gryffindor in Gobstones and winning

As Hady stepped into the Divination room she took in a deep breath of lavender and allowed the soothing music to calm her as always. She was probably one of the few that honestly enjoyed this class finding it relaxing and a good way to clear her head from everything else in the day. As she walked further into the room she noticed right away that the Professor wasn't there yet but that were huge mirrors everywhere.

Interesting. Wondering what they'd be doing today she made her way to the front of the room and the snapcup. Taking out a parchment and quill she wrote down a short note of what she was proud of and slipped it into the cup.

Quote:

I'm proud of myself for making several new friends this year.

It was true after all. So far she'd made lots of friends and they were all great to her. With a small smile in place on her face she turned around made her way to the long tables and settled down on one of the seats.

After the previous Divination class, Benny wasn't quite sure what to make of the subject. Was it real? Was it just chance and circumstance...thoughts brought to mind in time? The spooky events of the club event that he had avoided didn't help any either. But regardless, the fourth year was trying to keep an open mind, and insuring himself that Adi, or Angel, didn't try to drag him there if he didn't go voluntarily.

He was a tad taken back when he noticed that neither his friends, nor the professor, were there already when he climbed up the last steps into the classroom. Had he missed something? And what was with all the mirrors. Setting his bag at one of the free long tables, away from Ian, the Gryffindor set aside filling out the woman's usual request. Dropping it into the cup before actually taking a seat.

I'm proud I managed a few rolls in gobstones

Mirrors.

That's the first thing Grayson noticed when he headed up the trapdoor and into the Divination classroom. Mirrors. Were they gonna be working with mirrors today? He freaking well hoped so. It wouldn't be a bad thing, so to say. MUCH better than what they had to do in the SNAC meeting. Jeez, summoning the dead was plain weird and something that people died as a result of in horror movies. He didn't believe them but that didn't stop it from being kinda creepy.

ANYWAYS. He was here. And he'd noticed the Snap Cup too. Cringe. These things were still HERE?! Was there any point in hoping that they would have magically disappeared because of some kid having had enough and chucking them out a window? No? MAN. Shaking his head, Grayson picked up a piece of parchment and scribbled something down.

Quote:

I'm proud of myself for looking good

There were mirrors in here. MIRRORS. Of course he knew that he looked good.

................... Hold on.

Wait. Just hold the freaking phone. Where was Professor Cassie? And had someone had enough of the snap cup that they decided to take HER out as well? Because that was just plain rude. Couldn't they pick on a professor who was actually mean and set lots of homework? After placing his proud moment into the cup, Grayson headed over towards an empty seat and sat down. What were they meant to do NOW?!

Eden was excited for this class. It was one of her favorites IF not her absolutely favorite. She ADORED Professor Morgan, so...pssh, yeah. She took a seat near Toby, smiling and waving his way. She didn't want to take the seat RIGHT next to him because she didn't want his girlfriend not to be able to sit by him. That would be kind of MEAN, at least Eden thought so. And she had noticed the two pretty much sat together in every class. It was very cute....

Eden tried not to think of the confusion of her OWN love life at this movement...so...yeah.

She waved at Jasmine, too, and smiled...and also at cute little Norah.

OH OH OH HI CINNA! Eden waved frantically at her and winked at her Lionness friend. LIONS WERE THE BEST exceptfortheeagles. But Lions were probably..TIIIIED with them, yeah, according to Eden. Finally, she looked up to talk to Professor Morgan----BUT SHE WAS GONE.

GONE.

Eden's face fell--and she looked sourly disappointed. WHAT WAS THIS. WHAT WAS GOING ON. Eden wanted Professor Morgan there NOW. NOW NOW NOW. Ugh. She grumbled a bit as she struggled to figure out what the heck to write on her snap cup thingy.

Divinatiiiiiion!

Adi had gotten used to the fact that he now looked forward to these lessons. Even more so after he SNAC meeting which had been super COOL, by the way. He practically happy danced all the way to the Divination Tower and towards the classroom where he was greeted by...mirrors? What were those for? He ran his hand through his hair, messing it up a bit as he gazed at his reflection. "Looking good, Adi." Hehe. And there were long tables? So many changes! But where was the always smiling Professor Cassie? Hmm.

Oh the Snap Cup. Adi retrieved his already written proud fact then slipped it into the cup.
Now...where to sit? By a bestie, of course. "Benny. You're early for a Divination class.'' Must be because his dorm was so much closer to the Divination tower.

Ah, there was the bestie.

And good news to the Gryffindor, Adi was sitting by him, not that Benny minded when the Hufflepuff chose to sit by anyone else. It was a free country and he didn't control his friend. "Uh huh. I was surprised to beat you guys," he agreed, admitting to how he had felt upon seeing none of the other three there before him. The girls and Adi were certainly the bigger fans of the subject then he was in the long run.

Kace decided to come to Divination since last time he had lots of fun. He even remembered participating in the SNAC meeting. It was pretty cool to talk to a spirit. As he made his way to the classroom he noticed that a few students were in here. He noticed Cinna and gave her a nod and wave. He even saw Lux and he waved to his fellow cucumber. He wondered where Emmy and Bay were? Eh they might show up soon. He looked for the professor and she wasn't here yet so he decided to go sit down at the seats next to Lux and Cinna. "Hello my ladies how are we?" he asked with a grin. "Where is the professor?" he asked looking around the room. He got a piece of paper out and decided what to write for what he was proud of....

He thought about it and clicked the quill on his teeth. Once he had an idea, he dipped the quill into the ink and wrote...

It was cheesy but it was the truth. He was earning more house points than last term.

Angel walked into the classroom and was about to say hello to the Professor but for some reason the Professor wasn't there which is weird because she was normally there, Angel was now a bit confused about what was going to happen this lesson.

She decided to do what was said on the board.

Lex hadn't managed to head all the way down to the dungeon to speak with Collarbin yet but she'd taken the talk to mean she wasn't being kicked out of the lesson so...she showed up entering right behind the others who'd made their way to the Divination classroom. So far her mind was pretty open, she wasn't thinking about anything and she wouldn't allow herself to.

Seeing the mirrors, she might have tried thinking up reasons for them but didn't because that might have led to skepticism, you know? And it was too early for that.

"Good day Prof--" Hang on, she wasn't here? Oh. Well that was different. Sure. If she wasn't here she wouldn't notice her not writing and dropping a slip in with the rest...but eh, she was making SOME effort so she wrote one anyone then dropped it in the cup with the others.

Ian saw the others come in, including Norah. Norah waved at him and so Ian cheerfully greeted her back.

He saw other students come in as well. Adi, Angel, Benny, Lux, Lex...so many others. Ian thought that her meeting with Professor Morgan had gone well since she was here. Bad thing, that episode in SNAC.

Finally the Queen had found something decent to wear that showed that she was a queen. That ridiculous woman that taught in the tower had no clue what real fashion was. Thankfully she had something that could represent the Queen in all her glory. Walking with pride through the trap door she looked around. "What on earth is this awful place." Seriously why was her castle such a disaster. She blamed that horrible step daughter. Was she here? If she was there would be a heart to take.

Glancing around she noticed children, ugh! Such disgusting things weren't they. Though she would deal with them since none of them was as beautiful as her. The queen carried a book under her arm and an apple in her hand. She never went anywhere without her special apples. "I am your queen and you will bow down before me. Have you no manners? Very well I have something to share with you. You should feel oh so lucky. " She certainly didn't read to just anybody.

Opening the book she began to read, "Who's there?" she called suspiciously, remembering the dwarfs advice. "I'm an old peasant woman selling apples," came the reply. "I don't need any apples, thank you," she replied. "But they are beautiful apples and ever so juicy!" said the velvety voice from outside the door. "I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said the little girl, who was reluctant to disobey her friends. "And quite right too! Good girl! If you promised not to open up to strangers, then of course you can't buy. You are a good girl indeed!" Then the old woman went on. "And as a reward for being good, I'm going to make you a gift of one of my apples!" Without a further thought, Snow White opened the door just a tiny crack, to take the apple. "There! Now isn't that a nice apple?" Snow White bit into the fruit, and as she did, fell to the ground in a faint: the effect of the terrible poison left her lifeless instantaneously." Suddenly she slammed the book shut. "That idiot" Who wrote this book? They had the ending clearly wrong.

She slammed the book down on the long table near the peasants. She would rip out it's heart if it had one, but since it didn't her eyes flashed to the mirrors. "Oh a magic mirror. Tell me peasants why do you have magic mirrors in your class?" Where did they get them? Only the queen had a magic mirror. She moved towards the mirrors waiting for an answer and if it wasn't an answer she wanted they would pay.


ooc: Whoops forgot to place this here. The story was found and from here.

The book was being opened again and it stretched it's pages, but soon it was slammed down against a hard table. That wasn't what the Fairy Tale book was use to and it glowed a bit to welcome the niceness again.

What...what? Eden looked up at Professor Morgan entered class---and she was being...mean? And she dressed all funny--all Medievally--what in Merlin's---

And then she REALLY knew something was wrong. Eden could feel her face turning RED. NO NO NO. PROFESSOR MORGAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE NICEST PROFESSOR HER. NO. Eden did NOT accept this at all---she was GLARING up at Professor Morgan so MEANLY--UGH. And she was reading things...from that book--what? Eden had no clue what was going on. This was Divination class, not...Fairy Tale class.

Also. Eden refused to bow. NOPE. not happening. And she had kind of forgone the idea that all of these professors were pretending--during that Hogsmeade weekend, when she had run into Professor Walton...she knew. She KNEW that it had't been Walton pretending. He had a different LOOK in his eye. Eden could see the same here with Professor Morgan. She felt..upset...confused...concerned...andalsoalittl escared.

She didn't say anything. Until...she suddenly saw that BOOK. It was GLOWING. Eden wanted to throw it out a WINDOW, okay? What magic mirror was she even SPEAKING of--Eden WAS JUST VERY CONFUSED. She raised her hand and just raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about, Professor?" she asked, sounding extremely unamused--even a bit RUDE, yeah?
