At least Tarot had been. Runes had been looked at in overview, but not much further. "I wouldn't recommend trying to mix cartomancy and pyromancy, however. You wouldn't exactly get the result you wanted," she added with a grin. Unless your intent had been to burn the cards, which would be disappointing.
Maddie blushed. She'd obviously missed part of the question - the part that involved the pyromancy. She hadn't even noticed that all of the other students were naming things that involved fire. What an idiot.
'Sorry professor,' she said.
'I must've missed part of the question...' because she had been too busy looking for Justin, like an idiot.
Anyway, swiftly moving on. She grabbed a marshmallow and a stick and began to toast it, waiting until it was perfectly crispy before eating it. Yum. She looked up and listened - closely, this time - as the professor asked another question. She put her hand up again, determined to redeem herself.
'It's a hazelnut, Professor. Don't you put them by the fire, and then assign a goal or an aim or something to each one. If the nut explodes, it's likely that the thing assigned to that nut will happen, and if it just smoulders it's likely not to happen?'
