Sitting instead of standing she sipped her tea and let the music just relax her mind. As the first child entered she let her green eyes watch him come in.
Finishing off her third cup of tea, yes her third Cassiopeia vanished the mug since she was fully finished and flicked her wrist turning the music way down to a whisper. Green eyes scanned across the room and she wondered if Nessa would be joining them. She wouldn’t mind if a certain other person would have decided to join, but right that wasn’t something to think about now, so Cassie turned to the board and cleared it. “OHMYGOSH, can I first say how wonderful it is to see all these adrob Pj’s. You all look fabulous. Plus with the start of term why not have a comfy way to get back in the swing of things.” EEEP! She was snapping now so much for calm and collected.
“First things first, for those who don’t know me, my name is Professor Cassie and you are in Divinations right now.” Just to make sure no one wondered in by mistake. “Welcome to anyone who hasn’t ever been here and welcome back to those who have. Now the way we get our lessons started is we like to become super positive and what better way to be positive then going into the snap cup.” Picking up the pink cup she stuck her hand in finding the first parchment. “I will read everyone’s without names, so once I’m done with a proud moment everyone snaps for the person.” Were they ready? Pulling out the first one she looked at it, this was interesting.. hmmm, Then she read it very clear and grammatically correct without missing a beat, “I'm proud that I stood up 4 expresing myself thru fashion even tho sum peepl r stuck in the midle ages & think its ok 2 limit peepls individualty. Snaps for expressing yourself.” Yes this was good and she snapped happily. Pulling out the next one, “I'm proud of not being a girl and not make drama. And to be in Slytherin too. Snaps for being a boy and a Slytherin.” She snapped and giggled at this one. She just loved everyone’s proud moments. Going through the rest of them and snapping of course to each, she finally came to the final one in the cup, “"I am proud of my wonderful little sister Emilie. Snaps for Emilie.” Wasn’t that just wonderful.
“Now that the excitement is over we are going to be doing something today that requires everyone to be the most comfortable and relaxed they possibly can be. The mind is better at certain Divinations when it is fully clear of anything else. So as we dicsuss today’s topic please sip your tea, let the smell of the lavender and the sound of the music just relax you.” Moving towards her own chair she decided to sit and work on the relaxing part too. Rolling her shoulders a bit she smiled, “So seeing the crystal balls on the table should be a clue as to what we will be discussing, but what form of divination uses a crystal ball?”
So that's what the snap cup meant? Snaps for props? It seemed a little silly, but Paulie could agree that that was a good way to pass introductions in the beginning of a term. Yay for no-name introductions. Two snaps for you, and 4 for you.
The prefessor was starting into the lesson, and first question led to the crystal balls. Paulie raised her elegant little hand in the air,
"I might not know the correct name of the form, but I know it's a type of scrying. Like water, or with mirrors." From what her batty Granam's had explained, it was harder than it looked. Lotsa concentration.
