SPOILER!!: Kaiden

Mika didn’t know what was going on. She of course wasn’t the one dealing with the foot nudging and had no idea what was going on. She just saw her friend frown and cross his arms like she didn’t even know what was going on.

SPOILER!!: the quill dropper

West soon snagged her attention as he stared at their table. And he seemed t be laughing. Why was he laughing – and what was with the quill dropping…that was weird.

SPOILER!!: *eyesyou*

What was with this? The girl just frowned, furrowed her eyebrows and then gasped. Oh no. She hadn’t done anything. How could she know off something that she hadn’t been doing? She just frowned and glanced at the table before muttering. “Oh gosh I was right he is telepathic…” because that was the only sane answer but on the off chance it was something else she whispered over to him.

”I’m not doing anything, just taking notes.” she pointed at her note book and leaned forward, as she did so she pulled her leg backward and looped it around the chair leg which was somewhat visible by the edge of the table.

SPOILER!!: Elwood

Professor Elwood had been listening to the students report their knowledge and quick research on the different types of cups that could be used in Tasseomancy.

Her attention was caught at the quick disappearance and then reappearance of West Odessa. Now he was waving his quill around. He must have just dropped it.

Before Elwood could go back to listening to the other students she noticed a bit of movement and hushed whispers going on at the table. "Excuse me, Miss Johanson, Mr. Yarborough, and Mr. Branxton. Is there something wrong?" She looked at the three briefly. If the movement was because one of them needed a drink of water or to use the restroom they could leave quietly and come back.

"If not, I'd like to continue the lesson." She looked at them one more time and went back to her lesson.

SPOILER!!: Zodiac Cup Answers

"Good, yes the people who gave answers about the Zodiac cup are all correct." She started to tick off the things they said on the board as she reiterated them. "These sets do contain both zodiacal and planetary symbols. Like you said the interior of the cup contains the planetary symbols, while the saucer has the astrological sign symbols. Overall this cup allows for the desired combination of astrology with tasseography."

An interesting cup for sure.

SPOILER!!: Symbol Cups Answers

The symbol cup was a rather self-explanatory one but she was glad the students didn't shy away from it. "You all gave the Symbol cup its worth with your answers. Like the name suggests, these cups are decorated with between a dozen and fifty of the most common symbols that can be found in tea leaves, and like Miss Cambridge said are often supplied with an explanatory booklet. The symbols are also on the outside or inside the cups and on the saucers in some sets."

She nodded and continued. "The Symbol Cup is by far the easiest cup for beginner's to start with."

SPOILER!!: Playing Cards Cup Answers

Playing card cups were kind of a funny subject seeing as the last lesson she had taught the previous term was on Tarot cards. "The Playing Card Cups or Cups of Knowledge." Callie smiled at Marcus and Beatrice, "are much the same as the symbol cups but instead have pictures of 52 cards plus a joker or 32 for a different type of deck. The card pictures also sometimes are place on the outside of the cups or on the saucer."

"Excellent point Mr. Odessa." Callie had learned from having this particular Slytherin in her lessons that he was not always a fan of the Noble Art but he had a certain knack for bringing up very interesting and in this case extremely correct ones.

"Everyone, did you hear what Mr. Odessa just asked? He is wondering why we bother with these fancy cups with images displayed all over them when we are supposed to be focusing on the images left behind by the tea itself." She paused and looked around the room. "He is right. These other cups are helpful for certain readings but in my opinion and the opinion of many diviners, you will get the most accurate readings on your own with a plain cup." Elwood had already mentioned a few times the importance of reading one's own tea leaves rather than with a partner because they need to be concentrated on themselves, how was looking at images made by someone else any different than those other distractions?

"All these other cups are nice and fine in their own respect but we won't be dealing much with them today on account of the school's cut-back and the fact that...we don't have them." She threw up her hands causing her bangles to jingle loudly. Calista was obviously annoyed. "But this opportunity will allow us to start the subject with this clarity that a plain cup will give us."

The blonde Professor walked over to her desk and retrieved a box that was on the floor behind it. She raised it up and placed it on the desk's surface. "The cups we will be using today are ones supplied by the school on account of the selling of all the china." They surely have noticed by now all the dishes being gone, well it effected her stores too. She held one up to show them. They had been shrunk down to allow for the same amount of space as a normal tea cup and were charmed to not allow the students to be burned. "Because they are disposable I will be giving you the option of doing your reading today in a plain and clear cup or if you wish to make your own symbol cup, because if you do it yourself the distractions will be limited as opposed to a store made one, using the symbols in your textbook. Come on up and grab a cup for yourself and then either wait for further instructions if you plan to use a plain one or you may begin decorating and adding your symbols with your wand or quills." She waited by the cups for them to begin working.

OOC: The cups choice is up to you. If you chose to leave the cups be and do a 'plain cup' reading, just post grabbing your cup and then sitting back down having made the decision. If you plan on making your own cup then use any photo-editing or creating program to do so on a cup like this and include it in your post.

When Professor Elwood spoke up though her face immediately reddened because she liked Professor Elwood. She just glanced at the table and her notes. She just muttered an apology and glanced in confusion at her tablemates – what had they done?

She was just glad points were not lost for the whisper wars. So they were using solo cups for class today. Wouldn’t they melt? And well, obviously that was accounted for right? She just sat there in silence and glanced at the cups. Finally when they had the chance to she got up and walked to where the cups were.

When she was up there she sent Professor Elwood an apologetic smile. “Sorry about earlier I honestly have no idea what was going on over there” it was the truth she was as confused as anyone could be in a time like this. “Thanks for the cup” she smiled as she grabbed a cup and practically skipped back to the table.

Back at the table she immediately sat down and began to work on finding the symbols she wanted to use. She just glanced though the book and couldn’t really decide what to use. So she glanced at the cup once more. She was too distractable today maybe, maybe she'd do the normal cup? She had no idea yet.

Nudge, nudge, hello. Don't scoot away, this could be fun. And now she was being weird. That was a lot to know about tea reading stuff. Like, he thought it was mostly just drinking the tea and looking at things. But the cups were cool. Raising his hand he said. "Well, there is the symbols cup. They have twelve or more images inside that usually appear in the tea leaves. I think they can be decorated on the outside too." Mika didn’t know what was going on.

Not in front of the pretty professor, and not when Mo was trying to defend her mum's honor and stuff. He shook his head at her. "Knock it off," he whispered before giving Kaiden a furtive glance. Ahem. Professor Pretty was talking again, and he raised his hand. "The Playing Card cups are also sometimes known as the Cup of Knowledge. They have little cards printed on the surface so that readers can make the leap between Tasseomancy and and Cartomancy, which is a lot less subject to interpretation." What was with this?
