She would put up with it for the purposes of the lesson...but it definitely wasn't helping Nia's stance on divination. She raised her hand. "Due you have to use Earl Grey?" Nia asked. "Or will any of type tea work? In the case of not likely Earl Grey, for example."
By now she had hot water, so she added her tea leaves, trying not to think about the fact she was not looking forward to drinking it. She swallowed slowly, and eyed it wearily. Right, not to concentrate. Anything but the taste. What was she interested in knowing about for her reading?
Nolan shook his head. He knew some people would be put off with the taste of it, but unfortunately he wasn't able to get a variety of teas.
"It doesn't have to be Earl Grey, any tea leaf will do. Some people even use coffee grounds. Unfortunately, this was all we were able to collect for the lesson."
He waved his wand and gave it a little swish, pointing at her teacup.
"There, I dulled the taste for you," he said with a smile, since the girl just LOOKED like she was going to be sick at the
prospect of drinking it.
"If anyone else simply cannot stand the taste of Earl Grey, let me know and I'll do something about it," he announced to the class.

Either way, whether he liked the tea or not, he was learning something new, and something related to the future. The future was awesome, so, never mind the tea.
Treyen got up, because he didn't want to accio the tea leaves to him...eek! Can you imagine if he accioed the tea leaves and they got sprayed all over the classroom?! Er, perhaps he did make a good decision and got up. In almost an instant he was sitting again, tea leaves bag in his hand, and...time to get the tea leaves in his cup! He did smell the leaves, just to know if that's how the tea was going to taste. But..hmmm...orange-ish...odd.
Well, the leaves were in the cup now. No turning back.
Clearing minds. Clearing minds. He had only one concern. Actually, two. ACTUALLY, three. Or many more. Focusing, right. Yes! The celebrity in him thought it best to think if he was ever going to achieve the greatness that Gilderoy Lockhart had been in his days. Treyen could've thought about wandlore, oh-so-easily, but deep down he'd wanted to know if he's ever going to be like his great-great-great(?)uncle, Gilderoy....not like his owl, Gilderoy, just in case. He made an effort not to think of the owl, but the person named Gilderoy.
First, he reassured that the tea wasn't as hot as to burn his tongue, and then took the cup with his left hand...because he wrote with his right one. *Cough* *Cough* The tea went down the wrong way, and a couple leaves too. But it tasted alright.
Once again he took the cup, and started to drink the tea, focusing on what was needed.
Uh oh. Tea leaf choking victim number one! He made his way over to him, hoping with his fingers mentally crossed that he didn't choke so badly on them that he needed the nurse!
"You ok there?" he asked, eyeing the boy from behind his glasses.
No. more. injured. Hufflepuffs. NOOOOO!

She went to look it up and it meant... Trust your friends and not be independant? What friends? "Professor is this correct? Ivy is there... That means to not be so independant... and that........ Is... uh..." She pointed at the blob thing that she could not figure out..... "Professor what is that one?"
"Hmmmmm," Nolan said, peering into the girl's cup. Good thing he'd worn his glasses today!
"Well, to ME that looks like a bowl, which would most likely mean invitations in this case. Perhaps that means in the future, you'll have an invitation to do something with others that will not force you to be so independent of yourself?" he suggested.
"You know yourself, and the subject of your reading, better than I do. And do you think that looks like a bowl as well? Some people see signs differently," he told her with a nod. It was sort of hard for him to help with the readings, because he knew that what HE saw might not be what THEY saw.

Professor, Amy asked putting her hand up and showing him the notes, so what does it mean?
"Well, harp and foot both mean love--foot more specifically means MOVEMENT in your love life," he explained. Soooo dating drama? How common at Hogwarts!
"And wheel means outside forces are working on your life that you cannot control. What do you think that means in your life?" he asked her. She knew herself better than he did!
