And yet her eyes wandered past the witch and onto the students. Actually, the witch here may not be so dim. What was more rubbish than giving made-up fortunes had to be those who believed them. Althas face straightened up as she looked to the students in the tent, and shook her head slightly.
"I'll leave you to your fortune telling, now." and without saying goodbye she turned on her toes and withdrew her head from the tents entrance.
"Oh!" Altha called as she almost bumped into a boy. He stood much, much taller than her- he had to be in his sixth or seventh year. And pinned to his chest was a Gryffindor Head Boy badge. At the moment, Altha hardly wanted to think about Gryffindor - the house she apparently should have been sorted into, according to her entire family. The mix of the tents stench, Gryffindor badge, and ridiculous fortune-telling-talk brought a disgusted look to Althas face. "Don't even bother, it's a smelly station for false fortune telling. Brought-to-you-by... A lovely old hag!" she ended on the sarcastic note, looking at the boy.

Although feeling nervous, the Head Boy bravely walked to the tent that he knew was on the Grounds from what he had heard. Wouldn’t the ….person…. prefer an indoor room? The smell of the tent was awful, A mixture of scents that he could not place and thought he didn’t want to know either.
He wasn’t sure if he had to knock or something, could you knock on tent? He didn’t want to look stupid and try out so he looked at the bird and cat instead, curiously. “Uhm…..H-hello?” he called, trying to sound like his normal , confident self but failed. He would just…welcome her and then get away as quick as possible, yup. Following the child out Ursula stopped as she saw another. "You children have never heard curiosity killed the cat before have you?" Her wicked grin showing her ugly yellow teeth as she glanced at a cat leaving her tent. "Dearie if you come into someone's home, you should at least speak, it is rude to just enter and leave, thieves do that, but a thief will never come out." Her glare was a warning to anyone who tried to enter her tent again without allowance.
There was a shiny badge on the other one. It caught her eye, "I'll trade you a reading for that badge." It would go with her collection of objects. Quote:

“Helloo?” She quietly called out and fiddled with the thing in her hand. She was going to apologize and give the hag Professor…something about the smelly tent was making her nervous…or disgusted she couldn’t tell. “h-um…Excuse me I have a thing for you – an…apology for the train” Mel muttered as she walked a step closer and placed a little box with fairybread and a little now somewhat sticky sprinkle-covered-sparkly dream catcher necklace on the ground. “I’ve got the thing for you” she muttered, and took a small step back.

That Ursula herself wasn't the dangerous one, but there as a distraction so the one who was dangerous could fulfill their plans.
"Hello again, Mel," she greeted as she noted the young first year present there too. "Congrats on Gryffindor."
But she was not here for Mel and it would be rude to ignore the reason she was here. Smiling politely at the distasteful woman before her, she nodded at her. "Excuse ma'am, I just wanted to come by and introduce myself. And welcome you to Hogwarts." But if the woman was Divination professor, she likely already knew who she was, yes? She should just leave... besides, it seemed the tent was getting quite crowded. Stirring her pot that was boiling on a fire, the hag looked up as two guest had arrived. The smells that were coming from it were just as strong as the smells from her tent. What was she couldn't was not recognizable. "Come for dinner dearies?" She looked at them as if she was measuring them for something. "A welcoming is not what you should be doing, you should be protecting yourself and your friends for the dangers ahead. Doom will come to all that walk these grounds." Quote:

Did hags have husbands, and little hag children that had to be kept away from their hag mums in case the hag mum ate her hag children?!!
David shook his head before he got too carried away with these ideas. "Okaaaaaaay," he mumbled instead, looking at neither Professor Myers nor the other Ravenclaw, nor, even, the hag. He looked at the mossy rock for a moment instead. "I mean, sorry Mrs. Black." For asking an innocent question. He looked up eventually toward Myers. "I was actually on my way to visit you, sir, but I found you!" Here, at the hag's! Heh. Heh. Wait, the hag wasn't named Julia, right? Julia was the other kid here? David shot a glance at her as though making sure she was cool with this hag thing.
And anyway, back to the woman-ish thing of the hour. "You do fortune readings?" WAS SHE THE SAME HAG WHO WORKED IN KNOCKTU--- no, wait, he couldn't ask that either, probably. Not with all these sensitive people around. Hmph. "Can I have a reading?" Davie bounced a little closer to Myers, not out of fear since he was cool and he was there, but more out of curiosity and comfort. "You're going to get a reading too, right sir?" Right? Right? Divination was AWESOME. ALL the subjects were!

Ahem.
Protective Paul.
He tried to shoot her a reassuring smile as the hag..continued to spark fear in his heart at her words. Merlin. He was...not looking forward to the traumatized faces after Divination lessons...
Well. No, Paul did NOT trust her...but she wanted them to come in her tent. His Ravenclaw common sense was telling him that he should NOT let the children go in there..nor himself, for that matter, but his half Hufflepuff side thought it would be so so so so RUDE to turn down the offer. And after all, she was at HOGWARTS. What could possibly happen? It was a safe place! So Paul swallowed.
"Well if you insist, Ursula..." he chuckled nervous and shot David a look. A 'curiosity kills the CAT' look. He looked down at Julia. "We'll just have a quick reading and pop out, Ursula...I am sure the students have...shenanigans to get into and whatnot...in the castle.." Not out here. Near your tent. Ahem.
HE COULDN'T LET DAVID GO IN ALONE. And the boy CLEARLY wanted a reading so fihgerfgiuhetrghtighiutgh. "Come on then, all of you." She looked at the three and turned towards her tent. Moving slowly she let her macaw flap in first. The smells stronger as you enter, "Have a seat where you like." Moving towards a stack of papers she brushed them onto the floor to show the crystal ball that sat in the middle of the table.
