Thereos stopped once to a decent spot on the grounds and was about to get started when he was interrupted.

As they have reached outside, Jonathan looked at the professor "What are we learning today professor?" he asked. He didn't ask to be rude, no. He was just curious to what they were going to learn other than the bird pattern they just drew moments ago.
Has the kid not been paying attention AT ALL this lesson? "Fifteen points from you for your apparent lack of focus and memory!" Goldfish probably had a better memory than this kid. "Ornithomancy was the topic in the classroom and still is the topic now."

Um what? "Ten points from you for your carefree chatting." Seriously? Just because they were moving places didn't mean they could just talk whenever they felt like it.

Right. NOW he can get started with the second part of the lesson.

"So as we learned some of the flight patterns of birds and their meanings, part two is to show you more about how Ornithomancy is done." Because believe it not, having your head tilted back and you gazing upward was not really practical. "I have some shallow bowls. If you need more, one of the older students competent in charm work can use the duplicating charm. You'll also need about 5-10 medium sized stones. And water, which you could use your wands for or get from the lake..." the latter was what he had to do.

"Lay your stones carefully around the edge of the bowl and then fill up the middle with water." Thereos glanced around to make sure they understood. "If you wish, you may also do this on the ground, with no bowl, but you'll need to stack the stones higher to add more water, so it doesn't all seep into the ground."
