Default Divination Lesson One




Professor Cassie's style seems to be fully back in motion this term as you can tell by the pinks and reds of the room. There are two chairs to one table and enough tables and chairs for all students. Something that you might find different about the room is the many cats roaming the room.

In the front of the room is the usual blackboard, teacher chair, and desk with tea and tea cups for anyone who would like a cup. To everyone's surprise, or not, the wonderful snap cup has returned and is sitting on a table with a sign. You will find Professor Cassie's own cats hanging out up front with cute little yellow bows near their ears as well as a very sunny looking Professor Cassie sipping her tea.


Quote:
Please do not touch the cats in the room until I say so. If one comes and rubs against you just let it be.

Please write down your proud moment of the day and bring it to the snap cup. Class will begin shortly.
Please make sure you have read over classroom rules as well as ss rules.

Hady was almost done. She only needed one more kitty now. Rather then just pick the closet one she walked around the room this time, Hagan still following at her heels. Spotting an all black cat sitting on a desk doing nothing she made her way over.

Was there something in her notes about a cat just sitting around staring into space at nothing? Eyes quickly skimming her notes she frowned to see there wasn't. Letting out a small huff she lifted her eyes to the kitty just as it lifted it's paw into the air and swatted at nothing! Hady blinked in surprise looking around for a fly or maybe a bug.

Nothing.

Hmm... checking her notes again she saw that this was something she could work with. Switching parchments she began to write quickly.

Quote:
Kitty # 5

This all black from tips of ears to tail kitty seems to tell me I will be getting some type of news soon as he just swatted his paw at the air. Hopefully it's some good news cause according to the other kitties someones upset with me and a storm is coming...good news would be nice.
Finished with her notes and the assignment the Slytherin gave the cat a pat on his head and moved back to her desk. There she sat herself down to review her notes, her calico leaping up onto her lap instantly demanding a petting which she gladly gave him.

Growing bored with the fighting cat scene, Zeke opted to analyse a tabby looking cat over behind the other table. Getting up out of his seat, he approached it slowly and knelt down beside it. Was it alive? ...

Zeke paused to check if anyone was watching him, and as far as he could tell, nobody was. Could he poke it? Wake it up? ... Was it breathing?

Concentrating for a moment, he watched first to make sure it's chest was rising and falling, and sure enough it was. Good, not a dead cat. He was sure that a dead cat would be a bad omen, right? Like one of those YOU'RE GOING TO DIE TRAGICALLY AND VERY VRY PAINFULLY type things. He wasn't interested in those.

Focusing instead on the cats position, Zeke observed that it was laying there kinda stretched out looking. Granted, it wasn't a starfish like he was when he was asleep... but it was close enough.

Returning to his desk, to ran a finger down his textbook in search of the interpretation - if there even was one. Upon finding it, he jotted down his thoughts on his parchment under a new heading.

Quote:

The way it was sitting is not mentioned in the textbook, but the licking/cleaning its paw is. Because it licked it more than three times, it apparently means that someone is upset with me, though I can't think who. Maybe Ashley.

OBSERVATION RANDOM CATS

Two cats fighting. Hissing, jumping, clawing, and their hair is on end. Seems completely random. Does this mean a STORM is coming? Like something BIG and nasty??? Or is it just nothing? The textbook says that jumping from a standing position means an intruder is coming, and that swatting at the air means good news is coming... but since the cats are swatting at each other and jumping at each other, maybe not. RANDOM.

CAT #2 Sleeping Tabby

The tabby cat thing was sleeping, and for a moment I wondered if it was dead and was a bad omen... but no, it was breathing - which is a GOOD thing. Dead cats be bad. It was sleeping there all kinda stretched out. Its forehead was not on the floor, no tail pointing to fires or anything like that, so I think that the way it was stretched out and laying there means that there are good days to come with lots of sun. Now at this time of year I can't imagine there being too much sun, but it's possible, right?

Janelle was a little confused about the whole cat reading thing. They could give clues about the weather, about life.......just by their positions? "Oh well", she thought. Why not? Crazier things had been known to happen.

Opening her book, Janelle took a moment to look over the information. Hmmmm, OK. Now she had to observe a cat. Seeing a pretty one alone in the corner, she walked over to it. Trying not to disturb him, Janelle didn't get too close. As she watched, she put her quill to parchment and began to write what she saw.

SPOILER!!: Janelle's notes
Cat #1-The cat is orange with stripes. He looks like a mini tiger, but without the black stripes. The cat is giving himself a bath. He is licking his paw, definitely more than three times (a lot more). That means someone is upset with me.


Janelle couldn't imagine who would be upset with her, but she couldn't dwell on that now. She had three more cats to observe. There would be time for that later. Before she moved on, she heard hissing. Looking in the direction of the sound, she found........a cat fight. She guessed that wasn't unusual given the number of cats in the room. It was a little disturbing, but the Professor said not to worry........so Janelle went back to the task at hand.

Margo hoped that those kitties would be alright, so she turned her attention to a kittne that was licking it's paw, it was so cute!! She couldn't help but be drawn to it, again that was how Margo was going to go about picking all of her cats!

She needed a gut reaction to the feline in order to use it. Watching the cat, it licks it's paw three times. Wait didn't they just obeserve this in the lesson? Margo was thinking really hard about what they had already discussed. Wasn't it something about they were getting a femail visitor?

Right, so to recap, Margo was getting good news, money, and a female visitor. Maybe her mother was going to come visit and bring her mother!!! All of that really was good news!

With so many cats in the room, Zeke was thankful that he wasn’t allergic. He did however, wonder if he might BECOME allergic from over exposure to the creatures. Was that possible? Has it happened before? Ugh. Knowing his luck, it’d be the time of thing to happen to him. And that was his second issue with all the cats. He liked have GOOD fortune readings, not bad ones. And with so many cats in the room, he was starting to wonder if he was getting mixed readings. They were ALL doing something different, in some way. Sitting, standing, laying, walking, jumping, pawing, sleeping, licking, cleaning, meowing, fighting… and the list went on. In fact, he was convinced that though his first cat said there would be sunny days ahead, another must have told him there was a snow storm headed his way. HOW WAS THIS ACCURATE?! Was it going to happen in a day? A week? A month? A year? In which case it was all relevant.

Nevertheless, he had a task to get through, and he was running out of time. Getting up from his seat, Zeke took a turn about the room, figuring he may as well decide on which cat he wanted to write about. Which fortune did he want?

It was then that his eyes locked on a black cat, which appeared to be snoozing, or at least HALF snoozing with its face flat on the floor at an awkward angle. It's forehead? He remembered reading something about cats and their foreheads touching floors... he'd have to read it again though. After another minute of observing this cat, he then turned to return to his seat to work on his notes, when he noticed another cat behind him. A ginger. It was actually kinda pretty.. but yeah... cat... go away.

Walking a few paces, the cat followed him. IT FOLLOWED HIM! Zeke paused, looked at it, then continued to his desk. The ginger followed him the entire way, pausing where he paused and then moved to sit under his seat.

Gosh cat! Quit stalking!

Zeke inked his quill and meanwhile pulled his textbook closer, trying to ignore all the blooming' cats in the room. Why couldn't they be lions or lynxes or something?

Ok, time to read the cats - which meant interacting with them, which Caleb was not too thrilled about. Ah well, what could you do. He sighed and looked down at the cat that was still rubbing itself all over him...seriously, he was about to perform a vanishing spell on all this hair before he looked like a yeti...

Yet, as he got up, the cat followed him. He stopped and went back to his desk, and the cat came back. The fluffy white feline seemed to definitely like him...did that mean anything? He looked back at his book and grinned. That meant he was getting MONEYYYY! AWWW YES!

Ok, maybe this cat thing wasn't too bad...

Quote:
Cat 1 - Fluffy White cat. This cat has been rubbing itself on my legs since I got to class. When I tried to leave, it followed me, and when I went back to my desk, it came back to me. This leads me to believed that I will be coming into some money sometime soon!

After logging down two cats so far, he was on a mission to search for his third cat. As he looked around he noticed that there was a huge grey and fluffy cat near the windowsill. He seemed to be distant from everyone. Kace wondered what that was. He frowned and went to go investigate it. No cat should be lonely. "Heyyy little guy.." Kace said while approaching the cat. It yellow eyes were wide with fear and it seemed skittish. It went under the desk and was shaking. Awww he didn't mean to frighten the poor thing.

Alright he would leave the poor little guy alone but he would came back for him. But as soon as he left him he noticed the grey cat was moving it jumped from it's standing position and watched Kace closely. He logged that into his notebook...

Divination Notes

1.The black cat with dark yellow eyes was laid out in a stretch out position. The stretched out position it means that good days are ahead with lots of sun.

2. The orange tabby cat was cute and adorable at first. Then it became accustomed to me and circled three times near the fire. The circling three times means you will gain a new friend.

3. The grey fluffy cat that seemed to be skittish and frighten of me, but it turns out he was shy and was cautious. I notice it jumped from its standing position and that means an intruder will be coming.




Uh oh Professor Cassie should watch her back in this classroom or maybe Kace should watch his. An intruder should be coming according to the cat.

Angel was totally confused at the minute, she didn't know what she was supposed to do and she was going to just copy a few people, she looked around and spotted a orange tabby cat, the looked cute and adorable but didn't seem to be doing much at the moment.

Angel was going to just wait and see what the cat did, she was getting bored when it suddenly started circling her, one... two... three times, now what did that mean, she suddenly smiled as she reminded that it meant that she would make a new friend soon.

SPOILER!!: work
The orange tabby cat: to begin with it was just looking so adorable but as it got used to me it came and circled three times meaning I should have a new friend soon

Benny was trying to to pick another cat to focus on when sounds of displeasure were heard. Hisses and other feline sounds came from the back corner of the room and the Gryffindor didn't have to know cats to know they didn't sound happy. He turned to look in that direction, curious as to what was happening, but soon enough Professor Morgan was stepping in and breaking up the un-human scene.

Well cats fighting may not mean something but it had certainly attracted the attention and distracted most if not all from the task at hand including Ben. But he probably best get back to business. Keep reading the various cats around him. Like that one over there...a black and white tuxedo cat that was sitting up. Ben moved closer to the feline and the cat was watching him as if debating a move. And then it started swatting like something was there, but nothing the Gryffindor certainly couldn't see anything.

Oh wait...that was a clue!

He looked down in his textbook and sure enough it was there on the list as possible signs to look for. Really? That was what that meant? Setting down his notes, he wrote his observations under the next cat.

Quote:
The cat I was watching decided to swipe its paws in the air in my presence. Yet I wasn't doing anything and there was nothing else in it's presence. This can be seen as swatting the air and it happened three times. So according to this I might be getting a new friend which might be awkward.

Searching yet again for that cat that gave her a gut reaction Margo began to look around the room. She just wasn't finding the right one.

Margo looked back at her notes trying to make sense of it all. She wasn't sure if she had done the right interpretations for these kittens and she didn't want to get it wrong, Margo hadn't been doing very well in her other classes, and needed to feel like she was succeeding.

Meandering around the room Margo was looking for inspiration... She was hoping the next one she found would keep wit her theme and it would be easy to connect all of them, she needed another good news cat!

They were going to be reading cats. Nothing to see here, nothing to see. The thing that AJ loved about this class was that you could totally pretend to be "reading" things and you would still get full credit. Added bonus was that she loved the furry little things, and maybe they could help her be in a better mood. It definitely couldn't hurt, could it?

She needed to get up, yes? AJ slowly pushed herself out of her seat and went off in search of a cat to read. Before long she came up to one that was already curled up in a ball, snoozing. Great, what did that mean? It was time to look up the cat stuff.

Let's see here... that kind of behavior meant that everything was calm. SNORT! If this was supposed to be her life then that was a big fat lie. Nothing was calm. Nothing was as it should be. Reading on she found out that she should be alert for things coming in the future. Fan-freaking-tastic. Maybe that meant that her and Adi would split all the way up. There went her mood. Thanks a lot cats!

Angel was totally looking around for her second cat when she saw her sister AJ, looking at her cat... she gave her sister a quick smile and thought about a few things before she got back on with a few other things. She then decided to get on with her work.

looking around she saw a little kitty that was all black and it seemed to be swatting at something which was weird... seriously did this mean that a fly was in the room, she looked at her book and smiled. "OH your telling me something." Angel smiled as she realised it was trying to tell her she would get some news soon, she hoped it would be good.

SPOILER!!: work

This kitten is giving me news, so with the other kitten as well this means I'm going to make a friend and I'm also going to get some news, I hope that it's good news or I would be totally upset and sad because I don't want any bad news.

Cats... cats really were quite mesmerising, weren't they? Toby had been stood in the same place for ages watching this one cat clean its ears over. The routine was simple: lick paw a few times, then wipe at its head and ear. Sometimes the ear would get stuck inside out and every time that happened Toby was tempted to step forward and flip it back the right way, but the cat was managing just fine. Toby had no idea how long he'd been zoned out and staring, but after some time the cat looked up suddenly and stated right at him.

Oh. Uh. Awkward. "Sorry," he said to the cat, stepping back and moving to go off and add to his notes while it just went on staring at him. Well done, Toby. How would you feel if someone stared at you while YOU were having a wash, HMM?

In any case, there were lots of grooming behaviours on the list, so Toby ran through them and mentally crossed out ones that didn't apply, until he was left with one. Very quickly, he scribbled the observation down, STILL feeling those eyes trained on him.

Though that would be neat if they all did have something in common: good news, receiving money... on a rainy day? Because of rain? Maybe I should make a bet with Soph that it'll rain soon, and if I win that's all three things at once. But yeah, I think this cat is probably right about the rain; have you seen the sky recently?
Toby set down his quill again and stood up, his eyes drawn automatically towards the cat he'd just been watching. It was still staring. Toby felt uncomfortable.

Looking pointedly away, Tobias went off to find one last cat to observe. And didnt look back at that other one, ahem.

As Cassie walked around the room she couldn't help but smile, everyone seemed to be doing so well and working so hard. It always made her heart happy to see. She even gave snaps to all of them. "Very good, you all are doing fabulous!" So proud she was of all of them! "I think all the cats will be good the rest of the time. I'm not sensing anything else for this lesson." Though she did see a few trying to escape into the Astronomy tower later, she'd have to make sure they didn't.


Glancing at papers as she moved around the room she stopped at one particular area. "Ruby, would you mind stopping by my office sometime today." There was something she wanted to speak to the girl in private about. Not wanting to draw too much attention away from the cats, she made her way back towards the front of the room.

"Everyone doing alright? Any questions?"

not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤

Oh good, the fight was over. Hayden continued her quest to the front of the room to professor Morgan's cute kitties when she felt a ball of fluff fall against her leg. She looked down and discovered that it was actually a cute orange kitten. Hayden smiled and took a couple steps forward. The kitten ran after her foot and pounced again. It let out a cute little meow and batted the air toward Hayden. She sat cross legged on the ground to pet it, and the kitten jumped on her lap to play. With her free hand, Hayden wrote.


SPOILER!!: Hayden's notebook

Cat 1: Laying down, stretched out. Tail is not pointed toward a heat source. So this means good days are ahead and it will be sunny.

Cat 2: Washed his paw three times while facing the window. Someone is going to climb in the window? But, yeah, a visitor. He also swatted at the air which means good news is coming soon. So the visitor, who may be coming through the window, will bring good news.

Cat 3: This one is a cute little kitten. They were following me for a bit so that means I'll be getting money. It also pawed at the air like the other one so that means good news. Money sounds like good news.

Kate checked her work then tucked her parchment safely by her side. She didn't want to accidentally drop it in a room full of cats. That was pretty much a death wish for a piece of parchment. The professor seemed like she had the two fighting cats taken care of now, so Kate picked up the makeshift ball she'd rolled toward them and placed it by her book bag.

She then set her sights on a third cat. This cat was average-sized and pure, snowy white. It looked like a field of winter snow, and Kate wished she could take this one home with her. It glanced up at her and suddenly, they were in a staring match. Kate guessed it was trying to figure out what she was trying to do just like she was trying to figure out what it was going to.

Then suddenly...IT JUMPED. "AHH!" Kate said, holding her hand across her thumping heart. The cat meowed then dashed off in the opposite direction. Kate's heart slowed to its normal beating, so the first year began documenting the observation.

Cat #1
The first cat I observed is an adult-sized calico cat (with a pretty tail, even though that doesn't matter right now). The cat is sleeping but is stretched out across the floor at the same time. It's lying on its belly with its two front feet stretched far out in front of it and its two back feet stretched out far behind it. Even its tail is stretched flat across the floor. That must be some good sleep! I absolutely LOVE this cat, because it's predicting that there will be good days ahead with lots of sun.

Cat #2
The next cat I observed is a small, orange cat. It's sleeping just like the first cat I observed, but this cat is in a different position. This cat is on its side with its paw over its face. I do see two similarities between this cat and the first cat. This cat's back legs are stretched far out. Maybe that's a connection between the two cats! Looking at the textbook, I see where this position means a snow storm is coming. Huh. I'm not too sure about that based on my first observation, but a prediction is a prediction, I guess.

Cat #3
Cat number three was a scary little thing, I'll tell you that! Let me explain. He or she is a beautiful white cat. It reminded me of a field of snow during the coldest part of winter. I just wanted to take it home with me...until it nearly scared me to death! It was staring at me, and I was staring at it, and just when I least expecting it to, IT JUMPED! My heart started beating a million times a minutes, and then the cat just meowed then ran away. Looking at my notes, that means... ... ... ... Uhhh...an intruder is coming. O_O.

Okay. One more cat to find. AWESOME. After picking up all her materials and giving Priscilla a little pat on the head, Norah walked a few steps before coming to a halt in front of a Siamese cat sitting on the floor. "Hiii kitty, can I look at you?" The cat lifted a paw and batted the air, which the third year took to be a yes, so she sat down cross-legged across from the cat and grinned at it. Did cats understand smiles? Just in case they didn't, she leaned over to give it a quick pet to make sure it knew she liiiiiked it before sitting back again and watching. Okay kitty. Do something. The Siamese blinked a few times before lifting the paw again and using it to clean its face and ears. So. Soooooo. She could write about that, yeah?
SPOILER!!: notes
Observation #1: First cat. I think I'm going to name this one Herbert. So Herbert is a black cat all curled up and sleeping, except his forehead is on the floor. That means that there's going to be stormy weather soon.
Observation #2: Still Herbert! Now he's following me around, which means I'm gonna get money!
Observation #3: A new cat! A short-haired tabby cat with yellow-green eyes and white paws. It sat straight up and looked at the window while it licked its paws three times, so that means I'm going to get a visitor coming through the window? Maybe the visitor is a bug or an owl or something else that can fly, 'cause I don't really know what else can come in through the window.
Observation #4: This cat is bigger and fluffy, with grey fur and yellowish eyes. She turned around in three circles before sitting down with her tail pointing at the fire and they she groomed her right ear. So the circles mean I'm going to get a new friend, but the tail pointing means there's gonna be heavy rain or frost, and the ear-grooming means a gentleman coming. So maybe the gentleman is going to be my new friend? Ooh! Or the gentleman is going to come inside and be my new friend because he wants to warm up from all the cold weather that's outside, which makes sense because winter is coming soon.
Observation #5: This cat is a siamese cat with blue eyes and white-ish fur mostly 'cept for parts of the face, ears, and paws. First, it batted the air with its paw for no apparent reason, but that means I'm going to get good news soon. Then it started to clean itself but only on the ears and face, so that means there's going to be rainy weather just like the cat before said. I checked and this cat's tail was ALSO pointing at the fire, which is the whole thing about heavy rain again. So this cat really thinks its going to rain, but also that I'm going to get good news so maybe the rain is good news? Rain sounds good to me 'cause it helps plants grow so I bet its that.

It took a moment for Lux to realize that Merlin was involved in a fight, being swiped at by one of the other cats. Awww. Well, no one was going after her Arya. Yes, she was eying the other cats. Her baby was not going to get hurt if she had anything to say on the matter.

Affectionately she petted her Arya until she gave a contented meow. Time to get up and find more cats to observe, but first some tea. Reaching for the teapot, she poured herself a cup and slowly enjoyed it. Professor Cassie wouldn't mind this because she always let people drink tea in her classes besides when she had been the Evil Queen.

Putting her empty cup down, she got up with her notebook and pencil and began her search for more kitties. Hopefully they would have some nice messages and not forecast storms because storms suck.

Just one more cat, and Hayden knew exactly which one she wanted to use. She had been making her way toward the front of the room for a while now, and she'd kept getting distracted. This time, she was able to finish her journey without any unexpected interruptions. She approached professor Morgan's cats and suddenly stopped. She clapped her hand over her eyes. She had to have a fair way to choose which one she would use so she other one didn't get jealous.

Hayden reached her arm out and pointed. Her eyes were still closed and covered so she wasn't certain that she was actually pointing at a cat. She thought she was. Hopefully she was. Hayden opened her eyes and saw that she was, in fact, pointing to one of the kitties. And the winner was Gemini. She moved to that kitty and knelt in front of her.

Aw, she was sleeping. Gemini was curled up in a nice little ball. Hayden thought she knew what that meant, but she looked in her book just to make sure. She also checked where the cat's tail was pointing before she wrote down her last observation.

SPOILER!!: Hayden's observations
Cat 1: Laying down, stretched out. Tail is not pointed toward a heat source. So this means good days are ahead and it will be sunny.

Cat 2: Washed his paw three times while facing the window. Someone is going to climb in the window? But, yeah, a visitor. He also swatted at the air which means good news is coming soon. So the visitor, who may be coming through the window, will bring good news.

Cat 3: This one is a cute little kitten. They were following me for a bit so that means I'll be getting money. It also pawed at the air like the other one so that means good news. Money sounds like good news.

Cat 4: This one is Gemini! She's curled up in a ball, and her tail is not pointed toward a heat source. So that means everything is calm for now but we should look out for something coming soon.

Zeke quickly reread what he had already written, and then considered the cats that he had just seen. The ginger, still under his seat was perhaps the most curious to him. After consulting the textbook for what felt like the hundredth time, he put his quill to paper and got on with his last observations. He was almost finished!!!!

The way it was sitting is not mentioned in the textbook, but the licking/cleaning its paw is. Because it licked it more than three times, it apparently means that someone is upset with me, though I can't think who. Maybe Ashley.

OBSERVATION RANDOM CATS

Two cats fighting. Hissing, jumping, clawing, and their hair is on end. Seems completely random. Does this mean a STORM is coming? Like something BIG and nasty??? Or is it just nothing? The textbook says that jumping from a standing position means an intruder is coming, and that swatting at the air means good news is coming... but since the cats are swatting at each other and jumping at each other, maybe not. RANDOM.

CAT #2 Sleeping Tabby

The tabby cat thing was sleeping, and for a moment I wondered if it was dead and was a bad omen... but no, it was breathing - which is a GOOD thing. Dead cats be bad. It was sleeping there all kinda stretched out. Its forehead was not on the floor, no tail pointing to fires or anything like that, so I think that the way it was stretched out and laying there means that there are good days to come with lots of sun. Now at this time of year I can't imagine there being too much sun, but it's possible, right?

CAT #3 Sleeping Black Face Down

So the black cat I saw snoozing was in a funny position, and it had its forehead touching the floor. According to the textbook it means that stormy weather will be coming, but, that contradicts the reading I got from the white cate earlier, unless it's supporting the two fighting cats? I have no idea. Do the cats predict stuff for the same time frame? Or could the storm be coming after the sunny weather? Or before it?

CAT #4 Ginger Following Me

This cat is annoying. It followed me across the room, and stopped every time I stopped. Now it's sitting under my chair and won't leave me alone. Why? Why me? Technically though, this is a good thing. It means that I'm going to get money, which I'm totally cool with... so I guess I should sit back and wait for that to happen. I think mum might send me money, I mean, who else would? Unless I make a bet with someone on something and win their galleons, maybe I should do that?
There!!!! Done!!! He was done!!

Zeke closed his book and started packing up his ink and quill stuff.

Okay. Domino looked over at another cat with it's tail pointed to the fire. She looked to her notes. Okay...so that meant that frost was on it's way. Lovely. Well, that is to be expected anyways sense the frost season is in November. And that was only a month away.

Domino then looked to another cat and saw that it was cleaning it's ear as it licked it's paw...licked it's paw then cleaned it's ear. It's left ear. What did that mean? A woman will soon visit. This was the most interesting activity that Domino has ever done.

So after looking back at her notes Margo realized that her third cat that was just washing one paw only, meant that some one was actually upset with you.....how in the world did she get that wrong!!! Here she thought she was having good news and get a female visitor and now someone was upset with her!!! Come on!!!

So moving on Margo found a cat that caught her eye, hoping to fix her 'upset' someone she observes a cat that had turned around 3 times. Making sure to triple check her notes this time, Margo saw that meant she would gain a new friend.

So, she was getting money, good news, gain a friend, but someone was upset with her....well It couldn't all be good news could....maybe she had an upset someone because of her new friend??? Margo wasn't sure how to respond to all this, or even if she was interpreting this right.

Why on earth it was taking him so long to find one last cat in a ROOM full of cats was a mystery to Toby. There were plenty there to be observed, but the Hufflepuff just kept wandering, almost aimlessly. Okay, no, FOCUS. One more cat and done.

Toby made himself stop at the very next cat he came to. It was another grooming one, and looked very similar to that one that was staring at him earlier, but Toby was pretty sure they were different. As Toby watched, this cat went on and on licking its paw, unlike the other which had gone on to clean its ears. This time, Toby didn't stare long enough to get caught, deciding instead to hang around just long enough to know that the cat was just focusing on cleaning its paw right now. Toby was sure that was on the list, so he headed on back to go write down this last observation.

He stopped briefly to check the textbook yet again and- *MELLOW* THIS was a prediction that Toby found very fun, NOPE. He may have even pouted, juuuuuust a touch, because if this one was true then that was... upsetting. But hopefully before anyone noticed all that, Toby composed himself, managed a neutral face and wrote it all down.

So yeah... the book says that when a cat licks/cleans its paw over and over (but not three times, and this was definitely more than three times), it means someone's upset with you. Which I really hope isn't true because that would be the worse thing in the world. That doesn't match up with getting good news at all; hearing that someone is upset with me is BAD news. So I hope this one isn't right at all.
Okay, ooft, DONE. Not quite the note he'd have liked to end his observations on, but at least he was finished. Toby set his quill down again and looked around the room, trying to find Bludger. Where had his little menace got to?

Janelle was ready to move on. She spotted a black cat that looked interesting and walked in its direction. Parchment and quill in hand, she was all set to make her next observation. Something about this cat just drew Janelle to him.

He was a busy one, constantly on he move. Janelle was determined to follow him to see what he was up to. She was amused by the little cats antics. It was as if the cat had read the textbook. He was doing exactly what the book said. Was this another animagus cat? Janelle took notes as she followed the cat. She wondered if she could pet him but thought better of it. She didn't want to be the cause of more hissing in the classroom.

SPOILER!!: Jasmine's notes
Cat #2- Black cat with lots of energy. He turned around in a circle three times, before settling into a comfortable position. This means that I will gain a new friend. Yay!

Just a fight for alpha. There you go. Beverly shrugged at the cats then flashed a lazy grin at the young Snake. See nothing to worry about, less cry over. Since that had been dealt with Beverly went back to observing those pesky, cute monsters.

Walking back toward the windows, she leaned on it when her eyes landed on a furry fellow tucked away in the corner all curled up in a ball. It looked so comfortable. It was moments like these she wished she was an animagi. She stood there watching it for some time, but it did nothing but softly snore.

Recognition trickled her mind; it's curled up position meant something. Thin fingers roamed the page until they landed on said position. Please let it be good luck--

Alert. Future.

Her eyes focused on that. It was true things back home were changing quite fast, too fast, but...she didn't like this interpretation either.

I need to be alert for something coming in the future. Does that mean the intruder? Is it hinting or connecting to that?

Creepy predictions were CREEPY.
