That was the only time anything was ever actually perfectly clear. Sure, she knew better than most about Divination, she had odd urges she could not explain. But she hoped that she was wrong about this whole death urge. It was a bit too much for her to even contemplate. So much bad had happened already and anything more... well, she would not know what to do. Especially if that bad happened to Kurumi.
When Kurumi showed her the next symbol Selina's throat tightened. A wreath of flowers, more specifically asters. That meant death. She was not wrong... this was not good. So Selina put on her happiest face and said, "Yeah, its totally a good thing. I means, good fortune in the family." She hated lying to Kurumi, but now was not the right time to tell the truth.
"
And even then you never really know," Kurumi said with a small shrug. It was sort of like dealing with a timeturner she supposed. In one sense, knowing what would happen could make that very thing come to pass. On the other hand, well, you could make something bad happen in trying to avoid the bad thing you had been trying to avoid in the first place. It was all so complicated.
"
Selina..." Kurumi said, rolling her eyes slightly. She was going to add Potions to the end, but the red head was smart enough to figure out that Kurumi knew she was being lied to. Actually, Kurumi had something else to compare Selina's inability to lie to - the house elves. They were terrible liars as well. "
It's all a bunch of guess work anyway. Next thing you know you are going to be seeing something in my cup that looks like a dog and then we are both going to assume it is the Grim and that the world is coming to an end," she sighed, throwing her arms up in the air as if creating a metaphorical explosion representing the world coming to an end. She took her cup from Selina and set it on the table.
"
Enough about me, let's talk about you," Kurumi chirped. Grabbing Selina's cup, Kurumi peered into it and immediately started chocking back laughter. "Well...there is a Christmas tree, which is really ironic," she laughed, referring to her textbook. "
Oh, but that means that... you may expect some special happiness at the Christmas season...so...you need to wait...several months...and...there is something that looks like a wasp. So...distress caused by the sharp tongues of those around you...." Kurumi set her book down and looked at Selina. "
So...you are going to be really happy around the holiday season...but distressed about the waiting..."
That seemed rather obvious, didn't it? Who didn't seem distressed about waiting for something good to happen?
