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.
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. Before Willow could say anything, or even consider her answer to the Professor's first question, about a dozen of hands were already in the air, ranting about what Tasseomancy was. Blink. Blink. Blink. This class was full of Divination freaks! Eeep. Yes, she was definitely going to drop this class, the minute she became a fifth year; no need to be around so many people with mental issues.
Not being able to suppress a sigh, Willow listened to the Professor's instructions about brewing tea. She didn't want to learn that; she had house elves back at home that took care of that! Sigh. Hopefully, she wouldn't burn her fingers in the process--which was very likely to happen, knowing her.
Rolling her eyes at the whole thing as if letting Evangeline know that this was insane, Willow poured hot water on her bowl, careful not to burn herself with it.
There was no need to visit the hospital wing.
"Tasseomancy originated in the Middle East, Professor", She answered with her hand in the air. "And some of the substances that can be used are coffee, sediments, and tea, of course". Good thing she had read the book before coming to class. No matter how boring it was.
