| | |  Divination 1 - Bibliomancy
Professor Blaylock stood in a sunny corner of the North Tower, she had opened all the windows to let in the wonderful sunshine and fresh air in. The entrance to the tower was open, and any moment now, she expected to see the students' heads appearing as the climbed up the step-ladder. Several round tables were scattered around the room, with colourful pouffes and beanbags for the students to sit comfortably on. On each table sat a random pile of books, just waiting and ready for the students to go through them later. OOC: Just post yourself coming into the class and taking a seat. I'll start when there are enough students in attendance. | |

Erin giggled once she was done, realizing that the last thing she'd said rhymed. She wasn't sure if she was right, but at least it sounded funny. "You are all correct, take 2 points each. While the concept of seeing the future is the same in both practices...Divination is more complex, it is more formal and yes, it is not something that just anybody can do." Professor Blaylock laughed at that, "I bet you're all wondering why we teach it if you cant all do it. Well, there are some basic forms of Divination that everyone can do, but then again, just a minority are able to truly See." She watched the students as the absorbed this, "There are four categories of Divination...can anyone tell me what they are?" |

Brookelyn looked around at all the hands that were raised and decided to say her answer anyways. She raised her hand and said, " It's like the art of telling the future and it's events. There's like seven different forms of divination that are included."

Tia beamed with pleasure when the Professor said that she had earned Gryffindor several points. After all, the more, the merrier. Of course, that only applied to when you were earning points – not losing them.
She raised her hand again at Professor Blaylock’s next question. “Omens and omen texts, Sortilege, Augury, and Spontaneous, Professor,” she said, all in a rush, even though other students had answered the question already, Serena being the first one. She smiled at her friend, lowering her hand. | |

Serena smiled. She knew the answer to this, due to the fact that she had read along in her textbook. Raising her hand again, she said outloud. "The four categories are Omens and omen texts, Sortilege, Augury and Spontaneous Divination."

Marie didn't know what was the 4, but she try one "I think one is oneiromancy. Divination through the interpretation of dreams." She was so unsure of that one.

Tas raised her hand again. "Omens and omen texts. Sortilege, also called cleromancy. This consists of the casting of lots whether with sticks, stones, bones, beans, or some other item. Augury. Divination that ranks a set of given possibilities. And Spontaneous which is the gift of a true Seer."

Take 2 points for conciseness and speed." she said, chuckling to herself. "There are hundreds of methods of Divination...but they all fall into these 4 different categories. Now, who can tell me what type of methods fall under the category of Omens and omen texts? I'm not asking for the methods, merely what kind..." She said, hoping the question was clear enough. OOC: What I mean is, not answers like "bibliomancy" or "palm-reading". | |

Erin smiled, happy to have earned a few points for Gryffindor.
As Professor Blaylock asked another question, Erin looked around at her classmates. She didn't know the answer, but she was happy that Serena, a fellow Gryffindor, had answered first.
Erin pulled out her notebook and took a few notes on the forms of divination. | |

Tia’s hand shot up once again.
“The most primitive, clumsy, but enduring method is the simple recording of sequences of unusual or important events," she began. "There happen to be some scrupulously documented occurrences of strange births, the tracking of natural phenomena, and other data..”

Tas raised her hand. "That is the kind of Divination which predicts the future by prophecies made - texts, oral prophecies, etc."

i don't Know that!WoW! I'm amazed! Eliza thought shocked,taking out a piece of parchment and quill,putting her glasses on and started writing everything down.
Her glasses were glittering in the sunlight as she wrote and the words:gryffindor rules flashed around the frames . | |

Professor Blaylock said cheerfully, "The anceint Chinese wizards were best known for this method, as they are one of the most...advanced races in the world. Both muggle and wizarding." "Now...what about Sortilege? Or cleromancy as some people have been known to call it." | |

Tas's hand was up in the air. "This consists of the casting of lots whether with sticks, stones, bones, beans, or some other item. Modern playing cards and board games developed from this type of divination."

Eleanor raised her hand as soon as she heard the professor. 'Sortilege consists in predicting the future with sticks, bones, etc' She said.
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

She nodded to the other students, "Hello everyone. Make yourselves comfortable, but not too comfortable that you nod off and start snoring through my class. The class will begin shortly, we'll just wait a while longer for any stragglers..." Michiko walked into the class just in time to hear Professor Blaylock speak. "Hello professor" she said smileing, and she sat down. I hope I like this class... | |

Natalie stared at Eliza in awe. She was amazed at how much Eliza knew about Divination. She had never took much interest in it but decided she'd give it her best shot.

More common practices falling under the Sortilege category includes the reading of Tarot cards, or even board games." She decided to hurry up the lesson a bit, so they could get to the interesting part, "Now...what about the other two categories? Augury and Spontaneous?" Quote:

Professor Blaylock sighed as the student entered her class late, "You are late. That will be 5 points from Hufflepuff." OOC : Ya'll shouldnt announce that you just came in when the class is already underway. Just assume you've been here all along. | |
