Yes! Hah. Peeves! Amazing.

The second year couldn't recall ever meeting this demon she had heard so many stories of. Yet, here he was! Hah.

And, of course, Ellie laughed at his actions. Appropriate?

Definitely.

YEAH PEEVES! we love you <3 Sorry Professor, we love you too!
 

Oh my Gilderoy!

He wanted to yell at Fletcher to look towards the board!

The chalk was moving!

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.

Daisy raised her hand, "There is the Vampire Tarot Deck Professor." Tarot Cards, this was going to be a good lesson.

Peeves!
 

Riley had been in the middle of writing his notes and didn't notice the self-writing chalk writing those horrible things about his professor on the board. The only thing that brought him up from his parchment was the sound of a what he hoped was a rasberry sound made by a mouth.

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.

Preston had been minding his business and trying to keep up with his notes by writing down all the things that the other students were saying. If any were wrong, he would just go back and cross them out...he didn't want to miss ANYTHING important...

Preston looked up quickly seeing something written on the board while the professor was digging through his bag...Preston narrowed his eyes, ignoring the fact that the chalkboard now read that professor Reynolds smelled, in search for the reason of the chalk moving by itself.

Preston was about to shrug it off and go back to his notes, summing it up to a student with their wand trying to get points docked from their House for a little fun and games when he saw...Peeves? Preston's father had told him all about Peeves, and this was the first time in seeing him. But before Preston could do or say anything Peeves disappeared again...

Oh MERLIN.

What the heck was going on with the chalk?!

Rubiey guffawed loudly when the message appeared on the chalkboard. *teehee*

Then.. OHHHH! NOW IT MADE SENSE!

PEEEEEEEVES!

Rubiey laughed when the raspberry sound was made. She had heard all about the poltergeist's pranks, but never thought she'd actually witness one! Yet here she was, watching this strange little man harrass poor Professor Reynolds.

Then he disappeared.

Oh dear. That wasn't good.

Jenny was struggling to come up with a tarot card when she saw something weird. A piece of chalk was writing on the chalkboard by itself!! Then she saw something white appear behind the professor and blow a raspberry at him. Wow...was that the legendary Peeves the Poltergeist? The ghost-like guy who kept wreaking chaos at Hogwarts everywhere?

Jenny was still amazed when Peeves disappeared. Wow, that was fun while it lasted. Back to notes.

"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.


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.

Did...a ghost just appear in the classroom? It was the first time Kurumi had seen one and she was so fixated on watching it that she forgot to answer the professor's question and mentioned the Majong Tarot Cards that her grandmother used often.

Right. There was a new question.

"The Moon, Professor," she said with her hand raised. "It is the 18th card in the deck and is often described as representing life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit."

Was scary Slytherin girl still glaring at her? Kurumi took a quick peak over her shoulder. Yep. *shiver*

"There is the lovers card," Daisy said raising her hand. "It means love, union, passion, temptation, and communication," she continued, naming just a few of the meanings and key words to the card.

Heh. Funny.

"Aren't tarot cards supposed to be depressing and about when you're going to DIE! and how?" Ellie asked. That's all she'd ever heard of, anyway. Death and depression. "Are there black cats and voodoo dolls on cards?" Bad stuff.

Peeves was floating in the corner, INVISIBLE of course, wondering why Professor Four Eyes hadn't worn his glasses today. That would have been the perfect cause of chaos...a blind professor. DARN. What a wasted opportunity!

But then...the professor turned his back AGAIN after he dropped his deck of cards. Hmmmm, dropped cards...PEEVES HAD AN IDEAAA!

Oh silly professor. He was just not thinking today, was he? CACKLE!

Peeves decided it would be best to be VISIBLE for this part, as he SWOOPED through the air towards the desk where the other deck of cards lay carelessly UNGUARDED as the professor picked his other cards off the floor. He snatched them up and flew towards the ceiling. "WHO WANTS TO PLAY 52 CARD PICK UP???" he cackled, dropping the cards one by one and people's heads before tossing the remaining cards up to the air and watching them fall down. Like little snowflakes. Hehehehe.

"There's The Juggler, sir, which.." I have no idea what they mean in Divination's concept, ".. I can't tell what they truly mean." And that wasn't something wrong, right? People go to school to learn, she convinced her brilliant brain.

Louisa was petrified when that ghost appeared. Although she was a witch and in a magical school, she'd never EVER get used to ghosts. That was it. She gasped loudly as the ghost (was it called Peeves?) dropping cards randomly. She silently crouched uner her seat and covered her head. This Peeves thing looked crazy enough to do something totally stupid and she WOULD NOT be fooled by a GHOST, OK? Heh.

Kurumi's gaze immediately went over to the ghost who had decided to reappear. Suddenly, the classroom had a downpour of playing cards and one landed on her head - the 7 of hearts. She wondered what that was supposed to mean?

Daisy caught the card that fell on to her head and rolled her eyea. "Peeves is such a rude ghost," she mumbled writing down what the students were saying about the tarot cards. She laid the one that had fallen on her head on her table. Then it was raining cards basically. She picked up the ones that fell around her and counted five in all. "Here you go professor," she said extending the cards in her hand. Stupid rude ghost ruining her day.

Hehe. Peeves! Viky had not seen him before - well, obviously, since this was her first year - but she'd heard about him, and read about him in the big history book thing of the school that her mum had given her. That thing had taken forever to get through! She giggled a little at the writing on the board, and then turned back to her rather confusing notes. Confusing, because Divination was confusing. And her handwriting was almost illegible at the best of times, which this was not. She was too confused to write things neatly.

But.. tarot cards. Okay, THIS she knew about, at least. Her best friend had taken her to a taort lady person in Russia once. That had been... an interesting experience. But she remembered some of the cards that had come up on her reading 'Sir, they have the tower, which means a change, or upheaval... I think. And Death, which means - well, death, or change. And the Priestess, which is knowing' yeah. Though she wasn't knowing, and she certainly hadn't died. The change part was right, though - that had been the week before she was told they were moving to England.

Pfft. Now Peeves was throwing stuff everywhere? Viky was all for the writing on the board - hey, that was a little bit funny, at least - but that was uncalled for. She was sitting near the front, so a few cards landed around her. She picked them up, and held them out to the Proffessor. There were about five in her hand 'Here you go, Sir' she said wirh a polite smile

Raising his hand again, attempting to do as the professor had suggested "Is the Magician one, prof..." being cut off as a couple cards floated down on top of his head, he closes his eyes momentarily "....essor."

Sighing, he figured it was going to be an interesting class.

Alice looked up from writing in her notebook at the exact moment so that the card intended to hit her in the head, ended up poking her in the eye.

"Ow!" she said, rubbing her eye which was now watering profusely. "Evil Peeves!"

Alice bent down and picked up the cards that were around where she was sitting. She got up and headed towards Professor Reynolds. "Here you go Professor Reynolds. That ghost truly is rude!"

Emmaleigh raised her hand, "Um, there is the Fool, sir. I believe it stands for i-innocence, and infinite possibilities. And, um, Death which mostly stands for transformation."

Em frowned as Peeves returned. Why couldn't he interrupt a boring class instead of one her favorites? Then he dropped a card on her. How Rude! She went to pick it up, but edge slipped along her finger and gave her a paper cut. "ouch!" she exclaimed, as she saw blood start to escape the cut.

Oooh. Okay. Treyen was all good, then. The Gummy Bears deck was for real, and whoever owned them was...a very strange person, yes.

He raised his hand to answer the next question, and then.....CARDS FLYING EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE! And there was Peeves! All visible to them! Treyen couldn't help but grin, and he clapped while all the cards were flying around.

Er, but this was a class....so....he stopped the clapping, and blushed again.

Picking out a card that was now on his right shoulder. "Er, how about the Sun, Professor?" he said, with a nod, "It represents energy, enlightenment, and all things that symbolize the sun, depending on how you interpret it" another nod, and another card was on his lap.

Haha. Fun!

'there is a lover one which means your aregoing to find something such as love or lose love." she said

Evelyn couldn't help but laugh out loud at what was written on the chalkboard before the professor erased it. She may have hated peeves before with that spider incident at the slumber party in the great hall but...

If he messed with any professors, he was the best poltergeist ever!

"There is the Hanged Man card. It represents surrender, sacrifice, submission, letting go of something perhaps...anything related to that." Stuff like that. Hmm, for a subject she took no interest in, why did she keep reading about it? Surely it wasn't all because of Josh.

Or was it?

Raising a brow at the now visible peeves, Evelyn chuckled as the cards he picked up flew everywhere, dropping on people's heads, tables, and the floor.

Hmm yes, gotta love Peeves.

As long as he wasn't flicking spiders at them, it was all good. Glancing at the card landing on their table, she turned it over to see which it was before going back to staring at the professor. Was he going to freak out?

She knew Dodson would freak out, though Reynolds wasn't the Herbology professor. No matter how much they sorta looked a like.

"15 is the devil. It can suggest materialism, ignorance, lust, obsession, anger, passion, temptaion, or pessimism," Lila answered.
