Meh, only ONE way to find out.. Quote:

"Are you suuuuuuure, sir?" he raised his hand and asked as politely as possible. He didn't really sound sure. "Because I could have sworn I just read something about cartomancy somewhere and I SWEAR it had to do with maps and bad romance. Cross me heart."
He illustrated this with a finger across his chest, very, very sincerely, and flipped his divination book open to the page on cartomancy. "See, right here." His finger now planted on a random paragraph. "And it says that you can use any type of map, like.... ordinary maps used in poker....face...."
Er..... shoot, that didn't say maps now did it... it said cards.... Fletcher grinned and looked back up at the professor. Maybe he hadn't heard that bit. Hehe. Quote:

It was something dragon related, but Preston couldn't remember. That had been quite some time ago, and he wasn't even sure if that was what the professor wanted to know or not. He went ahead and raised his hand, realizing that if he was wrong, or off, there wasn't anything horrible to make of it, he was sure the professor wasn't going to dock points for trying, right? Right.
"Th-there's a-a Ch-Chi-Chinese set c-c-called th-the G-g-gold-golden D-d-drag-dragon." Preston told the professor, suddenly remembering the golden part of the name. He bit his lip as he lowered his had, not sure if he had it entirely correct. Maybe it was Dragon of Gold...

She raised her hand anyway. "There are the Cat People Tarot. I don't know what they do, but they have pictures of kitties on them."
And kitties were coooool! Quote:

He knew a few variations of tarot cards yet he was not sure if he wanted to say it out loud. Because the idea of sleeping was more attractive to him instead of jumping on his feet to answer a question like a Ravenclaw.
So, raising his hand, of course without looking up or doing anything else since he was too comfortable with his text book, he decided to speak. ''There's Celestial Tarot, sir'' the Gryffindor boy said and moved to get in a more comfotrable position. Quote:

That was her job!
"Sure." she muttered, slumping down in her chair slightly and doodling in her notebook as she listened to the Professor. Seems like he caught on to what Josh was doing too.
Oops.
Name some of these decks?
Pfft, just say a few random words and it was probably a tarot deck like it out there somewhere. Listening to what the others were saying, she continued to doodle...random dragons...all over her page. Eh, she plenty more pages to write information down.
"There is the, Guardian tarot set." she said after raising her hand. That was pretty much the only one she knew of, besides a dragon set, but someone already mentioned dragons. Psssh. Cookie girl was lucky that it wasn't her that said it. Quote:

He'd been doubting this one, perhaps the Professor would enlighten him, "Professor, is it true about the Gummy Bears deck?" because it just sounded plain odd to him.
And it also sounded like something Sir Fletcher would say, truth be told.
Treyen's question about whether Fletcher was good in divination was answered. Quote:

"Professor isn't there The Curious Tarot. The pictures on them were kind of creepy to be quite honest," Alice said, recalling the pictures on them. "I think they depicted the workings of an atomic age, and I believe they are very difficult to come by." Quote:

"Professor Nolan, there is a deck called the Phoenix tarot deck that was created in the 20th century and are very colorful." he said nodding as he lowered his raised hand.
The Gryffindor fifth year eagerly wrote down the other names of decks that his classmates were saying. he then glanced back to the Professor to see if he was correct. He could care less about the others Quote:
Originally Posted by Yourenodaisy hmm, Emmaleigh was sure that she had looked at some of these decks when she was shopping for her school supplies. But which ones had been her favorites. She thought about this for a while, and then raised her hand to answer. "Well, there is the Robin Wood deck, DruidCraft deck and my favorite, the Fantastical Creatures deck." Quote:

"Good, points to all of you," Nolan said with a smile as he finally located the Celestial deck and the Major Arcana deck that he had stowed safely in his bag for todays lesson. "As many of your classmates have pointed out, there are MANY different types of decks out there...including the gummy bear deck," he added with a grin as he glanced at Treyen. "In fact, people are starting to decorate cards in almost any design they'd like...for example, one of my favorite decks is the Lord of the Rings deck, which has been decorated with characters and scenes from the popular Muggle book series. This one I have here is a Celestial deck, which mixes astrology with cartomancy to get a wider variety of readings," he explained, taking out the deck and fanning it out to show some of the designs on the cards. "Funny how none of you mentioned the most popular, and most traditional, deck," he added with a small chuckle, taking out the Major Arcana cards. "This is the Major Arcana, one of the most popular and most recognized decks used today. Can anyone tell me what some of the cards are? And what their meanings are?" he asked. Quote:

When he noticed there was a Divination class going on, he swooped in, INVISIBLE to everyone as he floated around trying to find something FUN to do. HEHE. CACKLE.
THEN the silly SILLY professor turned his back to the chalkboard, looking through his man bag for something. SILLY PROFESSOR! It was a starting point, he'd come up with something better later.
He swooped down, still invisible, and grabbed a piece of chalk, writing in huge letters "PROFESSOR REYNOLDS SMELLS!" before turning visible JUST for a moment to blow a raspberry behind the professor's back. HEHE HOW FUN! He had missed this!
He turned invisible a second later, swooping off to the corner to wait for another opportune moment to be MISCHEVIOUS! Quote:

Someone or something in the roo..."Peeves!" he gasped aloud as the figure appeared, then disappeared just as quickly. Quote:

Definitely. Quote:

Could it be...?
"YEAH!" he said, arms in the air, it WAS Peeves! PEEVES! HE'D FINALLY SEEN PEEVES! Can you believe than on his two years (this being the third) he's never encountered Peeves.
He was happy he'd have now.
And then...Treyen blushed, looking at the Professor. "Er, I mean, not that you smell Professor...because you don't..." yeah, he didn't know what to say, "...but...this is the first time I've seen Peeves" true.
Then the boy went back to stare at his hands. Quote:

He looked up, his face contorted with disgust. "Who did that?!" he then squeezed his nostrils shut with his fingers, not waiting for the smell to reach them. A divination class was NOT the time for this. Something, however, seemed to be capturing the students attention behind him. WHAAAT was going on?? "Thebes?" Nolan questioned when the young Ravenclaw boy seemed to shout that out. WHY would he be shouting out the names of random ancient Greek city-states? Had Babbling Beverages been served at breakfast or something?
He heard some giggling, then nearly jumped a FOOT in the air as someone blew a raspberry RIGHT behind his ear. HOLY MERLIN WHAT WAS THAT?! Letting out a little shriek, he dropped his Celestial deck on the floor and turned around to see "PROFESSOR REYNOLDS STINKS" written on the board.
Ok. All reason had flown out the window now.
He heard Treyen speak up, and it was like a lightbulb clicked on in his head. OOOOOOH PEEVES! That made much more sense. But now...UGGH. What should he do now?? They'd never covered what to do if Peeves showed up in class. Rolling his eyes, he picked up the eraser and quickly erased the obscene message. He did NOT smell! He showered twice a day. He was probably the nicest smelling person in this room! "It's alright class...let's continue the lesson and just...keep an eye out for him," he said, bending down to pick up his cards, but never taking his eyes off the chalkboard. Easier said than done, he was sure. "So erm...where we were? Right. Major Arcana. Who can name some of the cards?" he asked.
