Divination 1
 

Once you arrive to the Divination classroom, you enter to find what looks like a standard classroom setup. Desks arranged in the center of the room, facing Professor Bishop's desk and organized into pairs, look toward a charmed blackboard which currently simply says "Divination Lesson 1" in a graceful cursive. A good-sized bookshelf is against the right-hand wall and contains a large amount of small fabric-wrapped shapes.

Professor Bishop is seated at her desk, writing on something, the wooden box from her office moved to the desk in here, but she's still aware of the room. Don't think she isn't, just because she looks occupied with other things.

Feel free to take a seat, talk quietly, get your things ready and class will start shortly.

Feel free to post your character entering, speaking to each other or the professor. I'll check in when I can, so don't go overboard, and the lesson will begin tomorrow.

Isobel walked into the room; it was very pretty. She found an empty table and sat down. Hopefully someone she knew would come soon so she wouldn't be alone. WAIT- "Hello Professor," she greeted before she could forget. She already had...but at least she remembered eventually.

Rae walked into the Divination classroom to find... It wasn't Professor Reynolds.. It was... THAT LADY INTERRUPTED! UGHHH. This class was gonna be fun.

She resumed walking to a seat that was in the middle-ish of the room.. Not wanting to put herself in the attention sections.. Foe she didn't want extra conversation with this lady.

Selina walked into the divination classroom. She had seen the teacher about and she seemed the more pleasant out of the Professors. Holding fast to her bag she walked up to the desk of Professor Bishop. Brushing a strand of free red hair behind her ear she bowed her head to her teacher and said, "Hello, Professor. I just wanted to take the time to tell you that I am looking forward to your class. My name is Selina. I'll be taking my seat then." She said bowing her head in respect one last time before she say at a table and saved the other two seats for Elektra and Violet.

When she sat down she pulled out a piece of parchment, her self correcting ink, and a phoenix feather pen. She was ready.

Jacob walked up the stairs, to the Divinatin tower... why did he have to do this on a full stomach. It almost felt like he was gonna vomit. When Jacob walked into the classroom, he saw a board some desks and a proffesor. It all seemed very normal. And even better Jacob didn't need a wand! Which was good cause Jacob didn't have a wand...

Jacob saw the professor do something, so Jacob gave her a simple "Hello, Professor" and took a seat. Yup this year Jacob was actually gonna pass Divination... Maybe.

Emily entered the divination's classroom. It was a surprisingly pleasant place to be.
"Remember to keep an open mind", she muttered to herself as she went to take a sat towards the back of the classroom, "Hi Professor Bishop", she greeted quickly, noticing that she was busy.

Emily took out her quill, ink and some parchment ready for note-taking. At the top of her parchment she neatly wrote: Divination -Lesson One

Parke peered into the Divination classroom. It looked normal enough. He stood there for a moment, perfectly still, until he realized he was blocking the doorway. He took a deep breath and slowly made his way over to a random seat.

He hadn't wanted to take Divination. In fact, he wouldn't have even been here at this moment if his father hadn't insisted he take every class possible. They hadn't anything like this at his old school and he had no idea to expect. And that scared him.

He gave the room, and the professor, a wary glance, as if they were conspiring against him and then started taking out his basic classroom necessities. Ink, parchment, qui- He paused mid motion. Did they even use this kind of stuff in this class? Frowning slightly, he carefully put everything back in his bag. He would just wait for instruction. And so there he sat. And waited.

Selena skipped into Divination, where she hoped the professor was nice and not evil or waiting to bite their heads off. Seeing a new teacher she waved and smiled. Divination wasn't so bad, she remembered fun times of teasing Alex in here - too bad they weren't friends anymore. Whatever though. "Hello Professor, how are you today?" Selena greeted before she took a seat near the front, pulling out her books and stuff.

Weeeh, class. Divination was one of the only cool or fun ones it seemed. Hehehe. She hoped that they would get nap time...

Rene walked into the classroom. Divinations....one word BLAH. "Hey professor Bishop" she said as she took her seat and placed her head on her hadn and waited for the class to start.

Skot walked in the room carrying his supplies for the class. He tripped as he walked in the room and dropped everything he was carrying. He scrambled to grab everything and then stood up and found a seat. He looked around the room and saw a few other people but not many people were there yet. He walked up to the teacher. "Hello professor. I'm Skot Brooks. I look forward to this class. My mother speaks highly of the uses for divination."

Alyssa walked in. She said "Hi Proffesor!" rather cheery, and waved with a smile. She sat down and unpacked her things.

Wisteria entered the classroom feeling good today. She walked in and noticed that Professor Bishop was writing things down, possibly for the preparation of today's lesson.

"Good morning Professor." she said eagerly. She walked to the far left of the room sitting in front. She pulled out a piece of parchment and her ink quil. She headed her paper:
Wisteria Hartly
Gryffindor
Divinations: Lesson 1

She looked over the bookshelf containing covered fabric items. She sat there and wondered what they could possibly be.

Raven arrived early, he think , but it find out some student more early than him, as he always do, walking silently, finding a chair pacing a desk. Divination what is class going to teach, fortune telling, he minds. "Good day Professor" he say simply

Emmaleigh hiked all the way up to the divination classroom, and let out a little pant when she reached the door. She was so excited, and yet so nervous about this class. Taking a deep breath, and walked into the room. Seeing a seat at the front of the room, the young Puff headed to it. It was an unusual move for the girl, but since Divinations was one of her favorite classes, she wanted to have fewer distractions. As she sat down, the girl smiled at the lady behind the desk. "Morning Professor."

Alice wandered into the classroom, leaning ever so slightly to the left because of her rather heavy bag. Maybe she was carrying round a few too many books but she might need them! She made her way to a seat fairly near the front of the classroom then stopped suddenly before she sat down and turned to the professor. She was not going to make the same mistake she had made in potions even if she hadn’t gotten yelled at like the other students. “Good Morning professor” she said with a smile. There we go now there was no chance of her being called rude. She sat herself down, slipped her heavy bag off her shoulder with a sigh of relief and took out a piece of parchment and a quill.

Honestly, Treyen Lockhart did NOT want to enter, he lingered for a while outside the door preparing himself for the no-Nolan scene.

But he couldn't just give up Divination, right? He actually liked the subject very much as to not be a part of it, not to mention he'd been pretty good at it before. There was also a part of him that felt curiosity at the thought of having this woman as a Professor. There was something about her...he was simply curious.

The boy straightened himself and sighed, then announced his entrance with a simple "Morning, Professor," and made his mind go blank. He didn't want any memories from when Nolan was here to be in his mind...or he'll break down in class.

He took a seat, not at the front like he used to. He took nothing out of his bag either.

Alex was not happy as he entered the Divination classroom, because his legs were killing him from climbing all those stairs. Those Ravenclaws and Gryffindors must have calves of steel by now! As he entered the room, he looked around and saw Treyen, the boy who'd mistaken him for a fifth year at the beginning of the year, and headed over to him, taking the seat next to him.

"Hi," he said happily, taking a seat and pulling out his books. He noticed that Treyen hadn't unpacked any of his things and wrinkled his brows. "You ok?" he asked. Something seemed off about him. Or maybe Alex was just crazy and imagining things.

Divination.
Adam remembered writing down the dreams last term in his log, and seeing how that connected with his future life. In a weird way the one about spies and him being a sidekick to Kurumi was seeming to become true, so this interest him more.
Dreams impressed him deeply how it can say something about who you are or what emotions you are feeling.
He entered class and sat at the very front, to get the best out of it.

Chris climbed into the tower, less than excited for her Divination lesson. She knew she would have to work hard in this class. It just wasn't something you could study. "Hey..I mean good day Professor," she said, making sure she didn't sound disrespectful, "nice handwriting." Well, it was true!

She saw the girl from Ancient Runes, Wisteria, sitting in the front of the room. "Hey," she said. "Mind if I sit by you?"

Was she nuts? Who knew... She didn't believe in Divination or being able to even try to tell the future, but well it could be useful if she was able to do so. So figuring better to be safe then sorry TJ decided to at least attempt to attend one class, maybe two of Divination. She wasn't too hopeful she'd get anywhere, but oh well.

Finding a seat as far away from the front as she could, she plopped her bag on the floor, and sat down.

Witsy looked up when she noticed a girl was standing in front of her. "Oh, hey Chris, it's nice seeing you." She smiled and moved some of her stuff indicating for her to join her. "Sure can; how are you?"

Witsy's pocket started making bubbles, oh no, she thought. Popping them with her hands. "I was practicing charms studying the simplest of ones and I saw ones dealing with bubbles my wand backfired" The bubbles started multiplying, "What should I do?" She was hoping Chris would have some idea.

Dal and to whoever would like to sit at the partner desk of Satine's...
 

Satine didn't really hate classes because well she was a nerd, but a pretty cutie patootie nerd...but back to what she was thinking...she didn't really hate classes but she did dislike Divination. I mean she understood it and followed it and such but she had never really seen much truth in it, but it was a requirement so she headed to class.

When she entered she noticed that desks were paired up. As she walked in searching for a desk she introduced herself to the Professor, "Howzit, Professor. I'm Satine Farris, Sixth Year Ravvie. I hope you had a great break!"

She glanced around the classroom and saw an empty spot beside Dallin and paused for a moment debating if she should sit by him or not. She didn't want to seem needy or annoying so she made the decision to sit at the pair of desks across from him not at the desk paired directly with him. You never knew who might want to sit by her...right...

She sat down and pulled out her rainbow quill that made taking notes more entertaining and a purple notebook with a butterfly on the front of it and set them on her desk.

Satine glanced over at Dal with a smile and then opened her notebook and began writing on the first page. Then she tore the page out and folded it up and passed it to Dallin with a mischievous smile. As she handed it to him, she whispered, "for your eyes only..." with raised eyebrows trying to convince him that it was muy importante.



As she waited for Dal to read her note, she turned in her desk and watched the door to see who all came in so she could be prepared for who was going sit at her partner desk.

Things were getting busy fast, which was why he wasn't sure if going to divination would be such a good idea. He was sort of dreading it in all honesty, though each and every class had been it's own little bubble of interesting event, comments and emotions, almost like a mini theme-park ride, some better than others. This class though should prove to be one of the better ones. And if not for the content than for the one person he had been trailing since he started towards the classroom.

It was only when he was inside the room that he caught up to Stern and he wasn't about to waist the opportunity or time. With a grin, and a bit more of a childish attitude than his age suggested he should, he half-jumped onto Kellen's back before sliding off to grab the boy in a brief headlock. "Where have you been?" He tried to eye the Head Boy with a disapproving frown but it didn't have as much weight as the grin on his expression as he released his hold to fix the strap of his backpack on his shoulder.

It said something about Kellen's survival skills that he didn't even hear Sabel coming. Or maybe it was because he wasn't expecting to get tackled in a place of learning. His arms waved around a bit as he exclaimed, "Get...! Nargh!"

Respect for the badge: Sabel Dakest did not have it. Unfortunately, there appeared to be a grin on Kellen's face, and he pointed his finger at Sabel's face, "Demerits will be thrown, Dakest. Thrown."

To demonstrate, he grabbed several invisible demerits out of the air and limp-wristed them at his friend. Reprimand given, he took a seat and slid his backpack off his shoulders, "I was wondering the same about you. After class we go pester the house elves for food and talk, yes?"

Also known as; I'm trying to be all professional and Head Boy-ish right now, please stop encouraging lawlessness.

Salander trudged up the Divination tower, seemingly in no rush. He remembered how Prof Nolan dropped the bomb during finals last term, so the Slytherin lad knew that its gonna be another new face to replace him, maybe another dude that he couldnt possibly be bothered about.....

.... or so he thought as he walked into the classroom.

Hello!

It took him a moment to realize that he was staring at a hawt brunette seated where Nolan was usually perched, greeting students coming into the classroom. Is this the new Divinations Professor?

"Goodmorning Ma'am" he greeted her as he slid into a seat riiiight by the front. And sat there. Attentive. Almost unblinking.

Laughing, Sabel playfully batted Kellen's hand aside when it was jabbed in his face. To the demerits he simply rolled his eyes, grin ever-present. "If I trusted your throwing skills, that might actually work. And if paper flew better without having to be folded into airplanes."

Moving over to the seat beside Kellen, he flopped himself down and placed his backpack beside the chair. "Busy. Lots of classes, lots of drama --" Wait he wasn't going down that road. "Busy. But catching up sounds like a done deal."

Tilting his head a little, he pulled the sleeve of his shirt over his wrist and gave a spot on Kellen's badge a little rub. "How's Head Boy life treating you?" A slight frown took hold as the spot didn't seem to want to come out. And he didn't think Kellen would appreciate spittle on it. So he took his hand back and went to retrieving his books from his bag.

DIVINATION! Sammy had missed out on Divination for the past two years, but now MWAHAHAHAHA! SHE WAS HERE! No one can stop the insane gifted mind of Sammy Star now. :mwaha: Anywho. She took a seat, somewhere in the middle of all the desks. She was too excited to realise Selena and her dorm buddy were there."Hello Professor" she said happily, with a smile.

It's time for her favorite class. Divination..!!Yaaayyyy..!!

Freya walked towards the Divination classroom with a grin plastered on her face. She couldn't wait for her first Divination lesson this term, too bad that Professor Reynolds wasn't teaching Divination anymore, she really enjoyed his class. She entered the classroom slowly and saw that a few students already there and the new Professor already sitting on her chair. "Hello Professor.." umm..the blonde realize that she didn't know the Professor name. After she greeted the Professor, she settling herself in an empty seat.

Katie walked into the classroom exited, she couldn't remember is she came last year buuut, who cares, Katie smiled as she saw her sister and smiled at her, buut she probably didn't see her so who cares :erm: "Hello Professor, how are you?" She asked looking at the professor instead of Sammy.

Brittany walked entered the classroom fairly Quickly. She was dying to have a seat because the journey there was not a short one. She looked at the professor upon entering ang noticed this was yet a new face. so basically it was another teaching style to get use to. She didnt let it bother her though there wasnt anything she could do about it. "Hello Professor." she said as she looked around and spotted her best friend. She walked over and plopped down beside her. "Hi hun." she said letting out a much needed sigh

Emmaleigh was absentmindedly flipping through her textbook when she noticed someone sit down at the group of tables next to her. She looked up to see who it was, and was surprised to see it was Salander. Smiling brightly, she greeted him saying. "Hello, Salander."

But as soon as she greeted the snake, she was aware of someone sitting beside her. Turning her head, she smiled as the other girl greeted her. "Hey," whats up?" she asked.

Another one of Mia's favourite classes and another one where there was a new Professor. She had liked Professor Reynolds but oh well this Professor was probably very nice too.

Making her way into the classroom, Mia gave the new Professor a cheery smile. "Good day Professor." It was a shame that she couldn't remember the woman's name.

As she turned to find a seat somewhere, Mia was immediately drawn to the purple haired girl. She loooooved the colour purple. So flounced her way over to the girl's desk and plopped down beside her. "Hello." Her eyes drifted up to the girls hair again and Mia smiled. "I really love your hair." Actually it reminded her of Eli, who she had met last year but hadn't seen since. He had been a quirky kid.

Mia pulled out her quill and some parchment and waited patiently.

Kurumi's cheeks turned the color of ripe peaches the moment she entered the classroom. Jake's fake mother was in the front. At least she had gotten the awkward part out of her system at the feast, so there was no need to make a scene now. Just, take a deep breath, walk to the front, say good morning, and find a seat.

"Good morning, Professor Bishop," Kurumi smiled nervously adding a small bow at the end. "I-I-I-It was nice talking with you at the opening feast." She flashed another smile at the professor before turning her head slightly to the side to find a seat.

Adam! It was really nice to see him taking a more active interest in classes at Hogwarts. Waving at him, Kurumi didn't even feel the need to ask for permission and took a seat next to him. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any outbursts this term telling the other students that their dreams were lame. "Look at you, sitting in the front," she teased nudging him softly with her shoulder before setting her textbook, parchment, and quills on the table.

Tyrone was excited. It was time for Divination. He entered the room and nodded in greeting to the Professor before sitting in an empty seat at one of the empty tables. He couldn't wait to see what was going to happen during the lesson. While he had to wait for the lesson to start, Tyrone grabbed a book from his bag and settled back in his seat to read it.

"Whats up?" she said slightly scandalized. "You mean to tell me it didnt bother you having to rush up here from potins class." she said with an eyebrow raised. She didnt know about em but she definetly didnt fancy having to keep making this trip *sigh*

Sebastian walked into the Divination classroom. Oooh yay, another class. Blaghh. Hopefully this one will be better than all the other ones instead of him getting so nervous about embarassing himself in front of people. He watched as the professor seemed to be concentrating on other things as he took a seat. It seemed tough as he knew almost no one here and in his case, he seems to think that if he does things wrong in front of people he doesn't know, well it could be bad. He hoped for the best.

"I'm pretty good. My mind's gone a bit numb from the sudden rush of new information though," she said. Then she noticed the bubbles. She giggled, reaching out and popping a few, wondering what on earth Witsy had done to that wand. "Well, it's a long shot, but maybe just try casting something different. Simple. You're wand's acting like it's stuck on that one charm, so maybe you can distract it with something else. Well besides the fact that your pockets are bubbling, how are you?"

rearranging a bit ;) (So I can fit everything into one post)
 

Renée had taken the time between setting up the classroom and class beginning to jot down a few more plot ideas for her next book. Normally, she would have tried to just remember everything until she had free time, but she had a feeling her train of thought would shift before then. Especially if students actually appeared. She'd hoped there would be more than just the few students who'd seemed interested earlier, but she'd decided to hold the class either way. She'd get people interested one way or another.

She'd glanced up from the page on her desk briefly as people started filtering in, however. Smile growing as they kept coming, and she found her hopes growing. "Good morning," she said to those who greeted her. "Make yourselves comfortable, and I'll get things started soon," she added, before briefly noting a bit more on her paper.

Looking up again, another amused smile crept onto Renée's face as she saw the familiar figure of Rae, from the feast. Not to mention the expression on the Slytherin's face. "Good morning Miss Skye," she said, somewhat deliberately. The girl could dislike her, and could continue to choose not to speak. She was fine with that, simply because she knew it was just because of Jared. But that wasn't going to stop her from continuing to prove she knew she was there.

Her dark eyes tracked over from Miss Skye as Renée sensed a bit of boredom entering the classroom, and she smiled at the blond boy as he spoke politely. "Good morning,' she replied. "Hopefully you'll find my class is less tiring than you've previously thought." Just an assumption, nothing more, but people who chose to sit at the back usually expected little from class.

Renée smiled at the next girl who entered, skipping. The enthusiasm was almost refreshing, even if she couldn't say where it came from. It reminded her a little of herself when she was younger, really. "Good morning," she said in response to the greeting, as the girl made herself comfortable. "I'm doing quite well today." It seemed she wasn't going to get much more written though. Oh well, class should start soon anyway.

Her dark eyes widened slightly as she watched a boy literally trip into her classroom, but Renée remained quiet until he spoke. She watched as he righted himself, however. She just didn't want to step in if it could be taken wrongly. "Good morning," she replied as he settled into his seat. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Brooks, and I'm happy to hear that." There were still too many people who looked down on the subject as a bunch of guesswork and smoke and mirrors. At least he seemed to have recovered from his near miss.

A dark eyebrow raised infinitesimally as Renée saw the silent shudder of the Ravenclaw boy who entered. There was definitely a bit of curiosity as to where that had come from, but she wasn't about to call him out in front of the others in class. Perhaps later, although the smile she gave him as he spoke was just as curious. That smile could be a ruse, and she wasn't about to take it for granted as otherwise. "Good morning, Mr. McKinley," she replied instead, simply. Setting her pen down finally as she decided she wasn't going to get much more work done.

She had thought there was somebody standing just outside the door, and Renée smiled as it proved to be Mr Lockhart. opening the wooden box, she slid her papers inside as he greeted her, noting the neutrality of the words as she watched him. "Good morning, Mr Lockhart. You seem to have come to a conclusion or two," she commented idly, but still welcoming, latching the box and settling back into her chair as she smiled again. Perhaps he'd figured out a few more things, as she found amusement in how he'd cleared his mind, or possibly he just didn't want another situation.

As the next girl entered, Renée was both surprised and not surprised by the brightness. Of the girl's hair, of her demeanor. It seemed there were all kinds at Hogwarts, which was the exciting part of the Wizarding world. Along with the many things that could be learned. "Good morning, Miss Farris. Pleasure to meet you, and in fact my break was quite lovely," she replied with a smile, watching as Satine seemed to go through some consideration as to where she should sit. And as she chose, Renée kept watching. It seemed the bright girl knew Dallin, at least. "Be careful with the note passing. You don't want to risk the wrong person getting hold of them," she warned, before going back to waiting for others to arrive.

Another bit of amusement went through Renée as she noticed the next arrival to the classroom. Or, the student, who appeared to be a Slytherin, seemed to notice her. Interesting, going back to Miss Skye and her resentment. Seemed Slytherin was the place for that type of response. As he slid into one of the front desks, she fought to not laugh as she remembered the feast again. it seemed there was the possibility Professor Descoteaux wasn't the only one who gained the attention of students. He just got them first. "Good morning," she replied, still choosing to simply be amused by the way the boy was staring. Even as it could be just this side of creepy to others. "I appreciate the respect, but 'ma'am' makes me feel old. I'd prefer Professor Bishop," she said with a little grin. If they were continuing the respect issue.

Renée bit back another grin as the next girl arrived shortly after she'd spoken to the Slytherin boy, silently asking for her name. if she'd been just a few seconds earlier, that might not have been a question, but she wasn't abotu to begrudge the girl. "Bishop. Professor Bishop," she supplied, "and good morning to you as well, Miss Salvatore. You seem excited." She wasn't against a bit of prying for basic information.

Renée's amusement faltered a little as she watched the next young girl enter, smiling at another girl before apparently deciding against it. There had seemed to be excitement moments before, but now she felt a pang of sympathy. "Good morning. I'm quite well," she replied, giving her a smile. At least she would pay attention. "How are you?," she added, continuing her choice of being polite. At least there was time before the lesson. She thought she'd let more people make their way up before starting.

And as she'd decided to let people continue to filter in, Renée looked toward the door as she heard another person arriving. "Good morning Miss Hollingberry," she said to the Gryffindor from the feast, charmed by the apparent continued nervousness. She was going to get the girl to relax before long, especially as she wasn't offended by the mistake from the summer. "It was nice. I hope you're getting more into the swing of things." Relaxing and all. She hoped the girl didn't retain her embarrassment for too long. At least she seemd to have a friend in the lesson, as she watched Kurumi take a seat next to another Gryffindor boy. She was really going to have to learn everyone's names.

Violet walked into the classroom seeing other students already there. She saw the Professor in front of the room and she smiled walking up to her gracefully. Violet continued smiling as she said politely,"Hello Professor Bishop, my name is Violet Le Veela. I'm sure I'll be learning a lot of new things in this class and I'm very excited." She then smiled at her again before turning and seeing her best friend Selina. Violet quickly walked over to her taking a seat right next to her, pulling out her book, ink, and pen. "Good morning Selina! How excited are you about Divination?" She giggled as she played with her a hair a little bit.

Cass entered the room and looked around. Divination really isn't her fave subject...but if she planned on being one of the best students in Slytherin...then she had to take divination as well..

She walked towards the table and said with a smile. "Good day Professor." Then she turned around and walked over to a vacant seat.

Emily walked into divination.
She wasn't 100% sure why she was here, Divination sounded a lot like guesswork to her.
Not the kind of magic she was into! But her sister had told her to try every subject before she decided to drop any, so here she was.

"Good day Professor" she said polietly, taking a seat at the back of the room. She may not like the subject but she still wanted to make a good impression.

Cedric laboriously paved his way to the tower, quite unwillingly, and now stood on the threshold of the Divination classroom. He was somewhat hesitant to enter further into the room which was, quite an addition to his already mountain-high hesitation of doing so, already full of students. It wasn't like he had actually done something wrong, for as far he knew, the adult at Jake's party was the new Divination professor. But he just so wondered if he had made a bad impression to the new professor when he met her at the party. Guh, he was being silly. Definitely. 'Are you nervous?' or 'You're nervous' couldn't exactly mean he'd done or showed something wrong. Oh. Silly him.

It was after a moment when Cedric shrugged the 'silly' thought away (yes, he decided the thought itself was silly. Totally not him). And so he walked into the room, his hands on his pockets, and eyes glancing round the room casually. Then his gaze fell upon the woman. "Hello ma'am," he greeted, and then noticed Treyen... looking a bit gloomy unlike his usual self. He walked toward Trey, flopped down on the seat beside him, and offered, "Hey Trey. How's life treatin' you?" For it was treating him... a bit too wickedly.

Why not start at the classrooms at the top of the school and work his way down? That was Gevrik's plan, at least for now, to occupy his time at the school investigating its...security issues. Of course he would diverge from this plan here and there as he saw fit but for now...

The Divination tower was just one of many on his list.

Naturally the Astronomy tower held more significance from a historical standpoint but Gevrik had been roaming both towers for some time now, in his usual manner of being one hundred percent invisible. He had come to the conclusion that the Divination tower and its contents were of more interest to his goals.

Today he entered Renée Bishop's classroom before it became too full and was currently lounging against one of the walls, as a silent, impartial and still invisible observer.

It was the professor who held his focus, for now, not the students. They could not see him anyway but if she was as...clairvoyant as he suspected, then perhaps she would understand his honest intentions and reasons for remaining out of the way.

For now.

Having known that this was Josh's favorite class, the Slytherin found herself glaring and giving a huff as she made it to the last step at the top of the stairs. Yes, she was going to Divination, because it was her boyfriend's favorite class. So her boyfriend better be here! She didn't climb those stairs for nothing.

Rolling her shoulders, Evelyn eyed the room as she sat down in a random seat near the back. This may have been Josh's favorite class, but she had a tendency of falling asleep in it. Obviously, she wasn't going to fall asleep in the front. Seriously, she wasn't a Hufflepuff.

Pausing for a moment as she got out her notebook and quill, it took her a moment to realize that... MEEP! "Good...good day, Professor." she said, stumbling to stand up from her seat to say hello to the professor and making a tiny bit of ruckus. Eh, she could blame it on seeing a spider or something. Merlin, she had forgotten to greet the Professor in potions and Lafay looked like she was going to hex her. Who knew what this professor would do!

What...was her name anyways...

Lexi adjusted her robes and hiked her bag up higher as she came through the door of the Divination classroom. She was all set to be grouchy. "Good day Professor," Lexi said bowing her head in respect before finding a seat near the door. Divination was not her strong suit, but she would give it a shot.

Perhaps things would be interesting and she wouldn't fall asleep and drool on her desk or something. HOPEFULLY.

Still in her seat for the time being, Renée's expression turned curious as it seemed the next student to enter felt the need to approach her directly instead of a simple greeting while finding a seat. Hmm, she thought, before smiling at the Hufflepuff. "Good morning. It's nice to meet you Violet, and I'm glad to hear you're excited," she replied, glancing at the desks as if to silently nudge her to take a seat. Introductions could take place any time, but right before class wasn't necessarily right. But it seemed Miss Le Veela took the hint, as she giggled her way into a seat next to another girl, and Renée went back to any new entrances.

Renée nodded at the two girls who entered after Miss Le Veela, smiling at each of them. Even as one chose to approach her desk first like the Hufflepuff had. Maybe it was a respect thing, like being called ma'am. "Good morning," she said to both of them, momentarily watching as they settled into their chairs before returning her attention to the room as a whole. At least most students seemed to have politeness down, and even some excitement. She didn't know if it was sepcifically for the subject, but she coudl work with it either way.

Renée started to wonder if she was missing something as it seemed yet another student was paused just outside of the door. As far as she knew she hadn't made anyone think she was scary yet. Not among the students, at least (except for a select few), and even the other staff hadn't seemed to snub her. But she smiled as the person entered, and proved to be the other boy she'd spoken to at the party over the summer. That could explain it. "Good morning," she replied as he made his way to a seat near Mr Lockhart. At least people didn't seem to be confused about the concept of making themselves comfortable before the lesson began.

Although as she went back to her idle perusal of the classroom, her gaze stopped momentarily at a seemingly blank spot on the wall. Hmm, she thought again. That was definitely interesting, but she decided to let things spool out how they would. No need to make things worse before they started.

And Renée's contemplation of mysterious things faltered as she ehard a faint huff from outside the classroom, and she watched as another Slytherin girl made her way in and dropped into a seat near the back. ironically, it seemed, not far from where she'd been looking before, but she wasn't about to say anything. Her eyes widened in surprise, however, as the girl seemed to jump out of her seat suddenly, although they returned to normal soon after. "Bishop," she supplied with a smile, reading the question into the words. "Good morning to you as well. Are you quite alright . . .?" Yes, she really needed to learn the students' names. Without getting them directly from their heads, as that was rude. Most of the time.

Renée's attention to the Slytherin girl shifted as another girl made her way into the room. Another girl who seemed a bit grumpy, but she was hoping it wasn't the subject making her that way. She hoped it wouldn't be too confusing, as it was better for her when people had fun with Divination. They seemed to learn better that way, at least. "Good morning to you as well," she replied with a smile for the girl, inclining her head as she had been given a slight bow. Seat choice was completely up to the students. She didn't mind where they wanted to sit. It told a lot about the student, though.

She wasn't going to make too many assumptions, though. Or focus on her earlier suspicion. That only led to problems, and she wanted to try and avoid those as long as she could.

Katie smiled, this teacher was nice ^_^ "I'm well thank you Professor" She said nodding her head once, yes she liked this teacher she was nice like Truebridge, at least, she is know.

Kurumi smiled at Professor Bishop before finishing setting out her things. Parchment and quills to her right while her Divination notes from last year, kept in a green clear file, to her left. One never knew when old notes would come in handy. "I am, thank you," Kurumi smiled in reply. She certainly had calmed down a bit since that night. No more jumping to conclusions about people being her classmates' mothers.

...

Yea, she would have probably asked herself if she was alright too if the roles were reversed.

Aw okay. "Good day, Professor Bishop." Well, it didn't seem like she was upset, angry, or ready to hex her into next week. Huh. "Oh, I'm fine. Just..." What was her excuse again? "...a spider..." Did that sound convincing enough? Right there on the floor where that small black dot was. Maybe it was a piece of black lint actually? Or a thread?

Chuckling as she felt her face warm up, she smiled and sat back down before immersing herself in doodling random dragons and creatures in her notebook, completely missing the fact that the professor would have wanted to know her name. She had some roster sheet or something didn't she?

Class hadn't even started yet, much less the actual year, and she was already losing it.

Eino entered the classroom humming to an old song his mother used to sing to him, trying tried to remember the lyrics. It went something like: To view the future through the glass pick a flower and kiss the lass, If her name Fair Phyllis be the mist will clear and you shall see, Her lover Amyntas and her flocks running away from a sly fox, And if towards you they make their way... Eino couldn't recall the last line, but it was supposed to help clearing one's mind to study Divination. He chose a seat somewhere in the middle and set up his desk with parchment, ink, quill, and his textbook, leaving everything else still in his bag until the professor instructed them to be used.

Helena entered the classroom, a little bit dreamy. "Hello, professor Bishop," she said as she walked past her desk. She also looked for a free desk and sat down, waiting for the class to start.

Divination. Evangeline had mixed feelings on the subject, but she was giving it a try. Because being here now was a completely fresh start, so she was open to doing divination presently. "Hello, Professor." She said, nodding to her as she walked into the class room. "I'm Evangeline Benford." She introduced, not knowing if she was a new teacher or not. Either way she hadn't really met any teachers.

She looked around the classroom for somewhere to sit, when she caught sight of a familiar face. "Hey Lexi," she smiled, walking over to the girl. "Think I could sit here?" She asked, motioning to the sit beside her.

Entering the classroom, Dianna noticed the way the chairs were arranged. Great. She was already making up an equation in her head as she sat down on one of the chairs.

Two chairs+stuck together=Partners

Sighing she placed her bag next to her then greeted the Professor.
"Good day, Professor Bishop." she smiled. Nothing like starting the day with Divination.

Destiny was sure the stairs were out to get her. That would be the ONLY logical reason why there would be so many of them. To get her and only her. The stairs made her dislike Divination and when she failed her Divination OWL, she was going to blame them.

Her lack of studying would have nothing to do with it, nope.

Finally reaching the classroom, she took a moment to catch her breath before walking inside. And..it was a classroom. A normal looking classroom. Shrugging her shoulders, she gave the Professor a salute before walking over to Evelyn..

WHO WAS GOING TO KILL A SPIDER!

That was wrong, wrong, unacceptable and just WRONG! Walking a little quicker over to her friend, she placed her bag on the desk next to her, not really thinking or caring if she was saving it for someone else, and bending down, Destiny picked up the thing that sorta resembled a spider leg.

Was it a piece of thread? Yes, but Destiny didn't know that.

"Evelyn! You ripped it's leg off!"

Frown.

Ellie was SHAKING. It was as if she was afraid. And, in a way, she really, really was. Her stomach hurt, she could barely see, her eyes were turning watery. She probably wouldn't even be here if it weren't for the secret mission she'd promised herself to go through with. All for Reyn's sake.

Slowly, she walked into the classroom. The seats...were in pairs. UNLIKE Reyn's seats. HMPH. Looking around, she spotted Treyen. She...couldn't smile at him. No. But she let her gaze stay on him for long enough to make eye contact. In a silent, 'Dear Merlin what am I doing here.' communication. She would have gladly sat next to him, but he was taken.

Maybe it was better that way? He'd probably try to stop her. From what, you ask? Her plan. Which, wasn't much different from what she usually acted in Divination. But her voice wasn't going to have the sarcastic tone it had with Reyn. She was going to be totally serious.

Maybe the teacher would quit?

Anyway, Ellie took a random seat, uncertain of whether it was next to someone or not. She...didn't have the focus to pay attention to such unimportant things.

She crossed her legs and crossed her arms. A position she was hoping to remain in through class. Different from the relaxed demeanor of Reyn's lessons. Though, LIKE Reyn's lessons, she didn't have materials for notes and such. Divination wasn't real anyway.

Professor Bishop. Right. Freya memorized the Professor name in her brain. She knew how horrible she was with remembering someone name. "Oh yes. Divination is my favorite subject, Professor Bishop" she said with a smile. She really like her new Divination Professor, she seems really nice.

Divination... why was she here? Considering she was awful at it, Zoey was extremely confused as to why she'd decided to attend this class in the first place. *siigh* Oh well, she was here already- might as well make the best of it. "Hello Professor." she said smiling, before taking a seat randomly. Not all of the Professors set their students on fire right?

partner in divination
 

Raven try to make himself comfortable in the class he hasn't partner yet, anybody who wants a partner, here is Raven available.

Jamie had entered smiled politely and said, "Good day Professor." She sat down in a chair and sighed. she was eager for the class she just wasn't sure if she'd pass.

Isobel moved her stuff with her and slid into the seat by Satine. "Hey Satine," she greeted. "Mind if I sit here?"

Professor, Ev and Destiny
 

Patroclus was growing into a tall kid, and due to that fact one thing that he really enjoyed about divinations, what that it was held in a tower, and he looooved towers. He slept and studied in one, so being in the divinations room felt very homely.

With a quick glance at the view from the window just outside the classroom, Patroclus entered, a smile on his face, and hop in his step. "Good day Professor Bishop," Patroclus greeted the Professor, in a warm happy tone, "I hope you enjoy your first class with us." It was not just the students that had to enjoy the lesson, the professor should as well! It's only fair!

Heading through the desk, Patroclus spotted two of his favourites, Evelyn and Destiny. Dropping himself down in a desk, he grinned at them and said "Ladies" in the voice of a cool cat.

Lets Divine!

Bennet was struggling to keep the strap of his bag on his shoulder.

Why. Is. This. Thing. So. Heavy?! Really should have gone back to the common room to drop off some books. He scurried over to an open desk and practically threw the bookbag down on the desktop with a loud 'BANG!!' "Whoops," he muttered to himself as he checked to make sure he didn't crack the desk. Nope. Allllll good.

Bennet plopped himself into a chair almost as roughly as he had plopped his bag on the desk. With a big sigh, Bennet ran his hands through his hair (a habit which emerges with ever-increasing exhaustion.) How many classes am I taking this semester? Evidently too many if I'm this tired already.

"Good day, Professor," Rowan said as she entered the room. Looking around, she spotted her new sister sitting alone and walked over to join her. "Fancy meeting you here," she giggled as she sat in the nice comfy seats next to Jamie.

Pandora walked into the classroom and looked around. She thought that it looked a little ordinary for a Divination classroom, but she had also heard that the Professor was new. 'She'll make it her own,' Pandora thought. She walked up to the desk and said, "Hello, Professor. It's nice to meet you." She gave a sweet smile and turned to find a seat.
Pandora noticed a boy sitting by himself. So she went over to talk to him. She walked over and said, "Hi, I'm Pandora Black. May I sit here?"

Jamie smiled at her sister and said, "Well I am a first year and I do have to go to classes."

Glancing up in alarm at the way her name was being said, the Slytherin stared at Destiny for a moment, trying to understand what in the world she was talking about.

Ripped what's leg off?

Staring at the piece of black thread she had been staring at previously, Evelyn took a deep breath before putting on a rather...amused smile. "No Destiny, you ripped it's leg off."

Bwahaha!

Snickering, her gaze moved past her Slytherin friend and to a rather tall boy who just entered the room. Was he ever going to stop growing? She was beginning to actually feel short next to him, and she rarely thought about her own height unless someone brought it up.

"Lemur boy. Looking quite...prefect-y today." she grinned, closing her notebook of doodles and leaning back in her seat as Patroclus sat down near them.

Well, at least one of the Gryffindors were here.

"So are you anxious to get started?" she asked. "I loved Divination last term but we will have to see what this year brings."

"I'm nervous." Jamie said smiling. "I hope that I'll actually understand everything in this class. What did you do last year in this class?"

"Well," Oh my gosh, she thought to herself. I don't remember. "With all the excitement, I really don't remember. But no worries. We can help each out with our assignments. You'll do just fine," Rowan said.

Jamie laughed. There had been a lot of excitement recently. "Of course we can help each other." She beamed happily and said, "Well I know you;ll do fine. Once the excitement wears off you'll remember everything."

"I hope so," Rowan laughed. "What kind of Ravenclaw would I be if I couldn't remember anything?" She winked at her sister and smiled.

Jamie laughed, "Not a very good Ravenclaw, but you'd still be my sister."

"And to me, that is more important than anything else in the world." She grinned from ear-to-ear, probably looking rather goofy, but she didn't care.

Jamie's' smiled matched Rowan's. And she wanted to squeal but she did't she just sat there waiting for class to begin.

Satine looked up when she saw her name, "Hey Isobel! Well, actually this seat is taken by someone else but you should sit in front of me so we can catch up." she said with a smile offering her hand up for a high five.

Satine smiled at the Professor. Wow she was nice and Satine loved loved loved nice peeps! She glanced back up when the Professor mentioned the note, "O trust me Professor this note is more than harmless...it's kind of useless actually." she said reassuring the Professor.

Satine glanced up as a new face approached the empty desk and sat down. "Well, thanks! Purple's my favorite color and the hair has been my signature color since I started here six years ago. It makes it easy to spot me in a crowd..." she said with a little giggle.

She held out her right hand towards the girl, "I'm Satine Farris, Sixth Year Ravvie..." she said with pride to the girl.

"Good day Professor." Simon smiled, he wondered if this lesson was going to be good, he hoped so, he wished that Professor Nolan was still here teaching Divinations but he wasn't so this new Professor would have to do, he smiled as he sat down and waited for the lesson to start.

Whaaaaat?

Destiny did NOT rip the spiders leg off! She didn't even see he spider and now that she thought about it, the poor thing was running around the classroom with only seven legs. It probably didn't get very far and sticking the piece of thread spider leg into her pocket, she decided when, because she was going to, she found it, she would give it it's leg back.

If she lost a leg, she would have appreciated it if someone returned it. Just like a wallet.

Narrowing her eyes at Evelyn slightly, she walked around her desk and sat down, deciding she was not going to mention she was not the one who ripped the spider leg off. Evelyn did it! She already knew! Noticing Patroclus enter the room, wearing his Prefect badge, Destiny couldn't help but grin and when he sat next to them, she leaned in a little closer.

"Evelyn ripped a spider's leg off. You're a Prefect, do something."

It was the LADY!

She was at the feast, of course, but she was ALSO at his birthday party.

"Nice to meet you properly, Professor..." Jake nodded at the woman when he was IN the room and IN to stay and LEARN. But first... her name.

He'd work it out.

He WOULD.

Ronnie rushed in hoping she wasn't late. She smiled..nope..she had made it on time. She took a seat next a person she didn't know. But that was okay, she was always game for making new friends.

She opened her books and "Hello Professor, how are you?" She added smiling, "I'm Ronnie Sopps." She added so the teacher would remember her name.

KRISTIN! *glompage*
 

Arabella-Marie skipped into the divantation classroom after she had climbed the ladder and said "Good morning Professor" Arabella-Marie took a seat in the middle of the classroom

Elektra walked into her Divination class and as she walked in she looked over and saw the professor. "Morning Proffessor." She said in asoft tone and then sat down taking out her parchment and books and she sighed and sat back. Elektra wasn't quite sure what Divination was about, but she had an open mind about this class and couldn't wait for it to start.

Whaa? Rae popped her head up from the desk. Because, yes, she had her forehead against the desk asking herself why she didn't skip. Then again.. Rae didn't know SHE taught this class. Oh... Speak of the devil.. She was actually talking to her! Rae stared for a moment.... Contemplated a response then settled with just putting her forhead back on the desk in front of her. No.. No respose for you. And if this teacher really wanted to get on Rae's good side... She wouldn't be losing points for the 'no response' either.

Rae just waited for the lesson, so then her attention would be directed at everyone else but her.

Sean walked into the classroom. He looked around at everyone chatting and picked a seat in the middle of class. He figured the front was basically full and the back was not the best place to sit. He didn't really care fo Divintation but it was a class to score some points for his house so he would be there.

Nika walked into the classroom both worried and excited. She wasn't sure how well she could do in this class, but Rex had said that divination was his favorite so maybe she would like it too. Nika fixed her hair and striaghtened her robes as she walked up to the professor.

"Hello Professor, I don't mean to take your attention away from what you are working on, but since this is my first year I thought I should introduce myself. I am Nika Adler and I'm really looking forward to your class"

Nika looked around the room not sure where to sit. She tried to find a familar face that seemed to be sitting alone. At once her eyes fell on Emily and suddenly Nika's face lit up. Nika walked toward the back where Emily was sitting. "Hi Emily," Nika said with a smile. "Is anyone sitting with you? Nika was truely hoping that she would invite Nika to sit with her because if not Nika would feel somewhat embarressed.

Fee walked into the Divination class room smiling. Oh yes one of her fave subjects.Hopefully the new teacher would be as cool as the last one.This term the blonde wanted to earn loads of points and she would begin right now.Walking through the room she searched for a free place to sit or for some of her friends.Lessons alone, that was soo uncool.

Divination... another class Marie wasn't so great in, yet another class she needed to take if she wanted to pass that OWL... or better yet if she wanted to even attempt to pass it. Entering the classroom she immediately noticed the girl with the purple hair and Mia sitting with her. Well there was one friend she wouldn't be sitting with. She then seen her other friends, Evelyn, Destiny and Patroclus. Yes, she would sit with them.

Walking over to them she noticed there was another new professor. "Hello Professor. Welcome to Hagwarts." Oh, there was Finn... and no one was sitting near him yet. Glancing at her friends then back to Finn she decided to sit with him. She was sure her friends wouldn't mind. "Hey Finn. Nice look you got going on there." She said noticing his untucked shirt. Wow, a prefect and a Ravenclaw going for the sloppy casual look. Nice.

Luna entered the Divination classroom. She looked around, no-one she knew. *sigh* now Divination would be boring. She sat down next to a Slytherin girl who looked about the same age. "Hi," she said. "I'm Luna," she introduced.
