Meda was looking up again as another rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, she glanced around pointing at students as they rose their hands; SPOILER!!: Answers Quote:

She must have had a pretty good reason for it. One he was hearing as he was busy placing his books back inside of his bag. He did not want them to get wet when it started to rain.
Glancing up at the sky as Professor Euka pointed at it, Daniel thought for a quick moment. What was a form of Divination that required the evening sky and rain?
".........Rain Divination?" even he didn't sound sure of himself and he usually was. Divination, like Flying, was not his favoured class. "You are getting close, it is something to do with rain, but not specifically rain for this evening." Quote:

Raincoats? Protective spells? Interesting. She glanced at Daniel and Violet. Astrology, maybe. Rain Divination? Was it really going to rain on this fine evening? Her hand went up. “Um… night sky Divination?’’ came her guess. That’s right, folks. It was a pure guess. "We will be glancing at the sky, though not to look directly at the sky, but what is happening in it. The evening is just a better time to really see what we will be looking at." Quote:

Evan raised his hand and waited to be called on. "Lightning and thunder patterns?"
It seemed more like a meteorology type of subject, but if they could come up with predictions using tea dredges... he could imagine something could be determined from the time it took between thunder claps and lightning strikes. Besides, that would make sense why they'd had to wait for a specific time, right?
Which speaking of, he went ahead and packed away his book and charmed a sheet of parchment for his notes. The rain poncho was also pulled closer, just in case. "Very good! We will be looking at specifically lightening and thunder!" Quote:
Originally Posted by MadMadamMalfoy Unusual time and place for a divination lesson, was Heath’s first thought upon entering the astronomy tower. He’d said hello to Professor Euka on arrival and taken a seat near Claudine, greeting her with a smile and a quiet “hi”. He glanced up, transfixed by the night sky. Merlin, it was going to be hard to remember that this was divination and not astronomy, let alone pay attention!
Finally jerked out of his thoughts as the lesson began, Heath reluctantly tore his eyes from the sky and looked to the professor. Wait, raincoats under the desks? Books getting ruined? Protection spells on parchment? HIs eyes momentarily flicked toward the sky. Was Professor Euka expecting a sudden downpour? Just in case, he cast a nonverbal Impervius on his parchment. He blinked, unsure what to make of the question. His initial thoughts turned to stars, but that didn’t make sense. If that were the case, this lesson could’ve taken place any evening.
Then he remembered she’d mentioned needing perfect weather - probably rain, if the coats were any indication. Maybe something to do with the way rain droplets fell. Was that a form of divination? That didn’t quite make sense either! Then why would the lesson need to take place in the evening specifically? Completely stumped, he kept quiet for now. She moved around the room just as the rain started to lightly come down. Not getting people wet, yet, but just a sprinkle here and there. Quote:

"Something related to thunder maybe?" Like Evan said. So, were they going to be learning in the pouring rain? Interestiiing. "Very good, yes it is to do with thunder" Quote:

She did mention rain... should I conjure up an umbrella? Darius looked up not quite seeing any signs of rain at the moment. Rather than guess, he kept his head up at the sky and remained quiet for now.
Glancing around she took note of another child being quiet and looking around. Quote:
Originally Posted by dans_grl431 Bonnie glanced up at the night sky an evening class, how exciting. Wait what was that? Raincoats under seats and protection charms on parchment? Bonnie hated the rain, infact despised would be a better word. She ducked under her chair and grabbed the raincoat, hastily shoving it on - no way was she getting wet.
She looked around at her classmates and decided to follow suit, casting a charm on her parchment ready for taking notes. Her head darted here and there listening to the suggestions of her classmates. Divination, outside, at night, in the rain. What could they possibly be doing?
Bonnie nervously raised her hand "Is it something to do with the rain, perhaps how fast the drops are falling?"
Hearing the words come out, she began to blush. Of course it's not, we could do that in a lesson during the day. She slowly tried to shrink down in her chair. "There will be rain, but we won't be looking at the rain for this evening." Quote:
Originally Posted by lazykitty Would've been nice to know that they were going to need raincoats beforehand, so she could've brought her own but okay. As for what they were going to study? Well, the mention of raincoats and needing the perfect weather made it pretty obvious, didn't it? "Definitely some type of divination having to do with rain," Dia replied with her hand in the air. There was such a thing, right? "Rain does come with this, but we won't be reading the rain this evening." Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack Needing to put protection spells on their parchment was just a good excuse for Kinsay to opt against taking notes. She didn't like divination anyway and it was pretty easy stuff to remember. Plus, she never really took notes on regular days either. Usually she just ended up doodling in the margins... And sometimes not-the-margins. What? It was hard to find time to draw during the day. She had to use whatever chance she got.
She also chose not to use the raincoat under her desk. If it was going to rain, then she'd like to jump around in the puddles without protection. It was only fair. Y'know what wasn't fair though? When professors would ask questions like 'what do you think we're studying today?' Because they were just going to say what it was anyway and usually they were always soooo secretive when you try to guess before a lesson begins.
So because Kins didn't see the point of the question, she chose not to answer. As an act of defiance. Or maybe because she was thinking about jumping in rain puddles.
As she looked around and noticed all the others staying quiet Meda decided she needed to move on the lesson.
"Everyone had great guesses and many were very close. We will be working with the weather this evening, which is why we are here right now while the storm is coming in. It isn't supposed to be a bad storm, but perfect for observing the lightning and thunder." The rain started to come in a light stream as she continued to talk. "The form we will be using this evening is ceraunoscopy and it is the form of Divination that reads thunder and lighting. What I would like you to do first is just observe the storm. Take note on the thunder sounds and what the lightning looks like. I'm going to give you time, you can walk around the tower and observe the storm where you would like. Weather is a beautiful thing and can talk to us in so many ways."
**So sorry for the delay, we had a family emergency that ended up in the hospital yesterday. I should be back on track now, so for a mini activity please have your character observe the sky, I will be posting the narrator for some patterns soon.
