Lyra smiled to signal that she understood the joke.
"Yup, just my opinion."
She read her card to herself:
Claudius Ptolemy
Born in Egypt in about 85 A.D.
Ptolemy was one of the most infuential Greek wizards, astromomers, and mathematicians of his time. As Ptolemy studied and observed the heavens, he formulated The Ptolemaic System shows the Earth as the center of the universe, followed outward by the moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Through his system, Ptolemy was able to greatly improve wizard's abilities to read the heavens and predict the future. His system allowed for Divination to be studied on a broader scope, and he is often considered one of the prominent figures that shaped the structure of Divination as it is today.
Lyra groaned inwardly.
'Divination- sure to be one of my worst subjects.' Especially since it had been one of her mom's favorites. Ever since she had chosen Ravenclaw over Gryffindor, Lyra had lost all interest in proving herself to her mom. In fact, she didn't want to be like her at all, anymore.
