"Hmm...mmkay," LouAnn said, thinking that it was a pretty good idea for Fred to ask such a non-personal question. She might even consider inquiring about OWL results herself. It'd be better than asking about possibly murdering two Hufflepuff students. She shifted her weight until she positioned towards the burning wood. She stared deep into the fire, trying to find some sort of meaning within it.
She thought carefully about what Fred had asked, and she posed the question to the fire. On one of the pieces of wood closest to her, she noticed two stray markings coming together at a midpoint. She tilted her head and examined them a little closer. Well, not
too close...she didn't want to singe her eyebrows or anything like that. The formation the markings made was a plus sign, so LouAnn took that to mean that Fred's OWL results would be positive.
Keeping that in mind, she examined a separate piece of wood. A few markings of the wood formed what looked to be the letter T. There was a little minus sign next to the letter T, which LouAnn took to be a negative outlook. She glanced back up at Fred. "Well, I see a plus sign here...see the two markings?" she asked, pointing them out. "I think this means that overall, you'll do quite well on your OWLs. You'll have a positive score." She leaned over and pointed towards the second piece of wood she'd examined. "See that piece there? There's a marking that looks sort of like the letter T. Well, there's a little minus sign next to the T, so...I think you may need to really put some focus on Transfiguration. You know, study a lot and all."
