Oh, yeah--and pointless. Divination was pretty pointless, too.
Shrugging was the only response that Willow had to Evangeline's response, for she didn't know if what the Slytherin had said was true or not. "Me neither. I'm not good at this". Sigh. "Actually, I think Divination is rather pointless and stupid", Willow added, dropping her voice, so Evangeline could be the only able to hear her. No need to let St. Touissant hear that.
Reaching for her bag to take out her Divination book, Willow started to flip the pages of it. "Er, this is Tasseomancy, right?". She gave Evangeline an uncertain look.
They were doomed.
It seemed that Willow shared her opinion about Divination and Evangeline pressed her lips tightly together when the Ravenclaw girl categorised Divination as being 'pointless' and 'stupid'. Yup, that sounded about right.
At the same time the girl started flipping through the pages of her book, the Professor decided to finally start the lesson and Evangeline simply nodded her head when Willow asked if they were covering Tasseomancy today. Well, Touissant had just said that but hey.
Turning to the Professor, she straightened in her seat, ready for class.

Clara Belle was a witch of such admirable taste and style, in St. Toussaint's opinion. It would not do to have the young ladies of her namesaked school going around splashing hot-water on themselves. Ugh! Tacky much?!
"As one of you mentioned, sediments of wine are also lumped together in this category of Divination. Where did this practice orginate? And, what other specific substances may be in this category?"
ooc: Don't worry if I missed you, I always go back and check the thread before tallying the points. Will return later.
Wrinkling her nose slightly, she tried not to snort at the Professor's instructions. Aah. So they were going to drink tea. How brilliant. At least was good, which was at least a plus. Raising an eyebrow at Willow in a silent way of saying that this was mad, she took a pinch of tea from the bowl in the table and put it in her own bowl, then adding the water without a splashing a single drop out of her bowl.
Good think she was used to prepare tea.
"Hmm...This practice originated in Asia, the Middle East and Ancient Greece, Professor." She said, hand raised after setting the bowl of hot water back onto the table.
"Tea leaves, wine sediments or coffee grounds can be used.. Coffee grounds readers like to use Turkish coffee."
Hmmm. Coffee wouldn't be so bad either. It would keep them from falling asleep.
