"Exactly!" Blaylock said with a wink to the child, "Take 2 points, dear."
She turned back to the class, "Tasseomancy...it is merely a fancy name someone made up for what is more commonly known as tea-leaf reading." Quote:

She beamed at the student, "That's right. But seeing as I’m quite averse to drinking coffee, and there is also the fact that it would be morally wrong for me to serve wine to my students…” She paused, “And well, I obviously love tea a bit too much, so we shall just do it the good old way.”
Blaylock pointed vaguely to a cupboard behind her which was stocked with antique pink and blue teacups, "Take one and bring it back to your tables...Be careful, these are OLD." |
