Patiently Lux waited as Nat used the stethoscope to listen to her stomach. She let out a giggle when her friend said that she had accidentally listened to the heart. Mistakes happened, and they were by no means muggle doctors or medical students.

Curiously she looked at the piece of paper that Nat recorded her findings on, and it was nice to see that her stomach made normal sounds...on the most part???

Go Away???

O__O

Where had that came from???

"So either my stomach can talk, or there is someone living inside it." Heh, she hoped it wasn't the latter but it would be funny if her stomach could actually talk.

Will he was waiting for Z to finish her bellydancing production, Toby took the end of his stethoscope and BREATHED all over it, like a muggle doctor, to warm it but. HAAAAAAAAAAAHHhhhh. HAHHHHHhhhhhhh. OKAY.

He listened hard to Zahra's belly noises, making a face of PURE CONCENTRATION, before squinting at the Gryffindor.

"Zahra," he said, voice vry srs. "Have you eaten some form of predator today? You can tell me. Perhaps a tiger or a LION? I hear it ROARing, there's a rumble in the jungle." Kettleburn was Gryffindor inside AND out, yo.

Zahra gave Toby a playful punch to his arm. "Are you just trying to FLATTER me, Tobes? Cause it's WORKING!" OF COURSE SHE HAD A BELLY FULL OF LION. RAWR! Gryffindor! "Stop flirting, you nut. Let me listen to your gut again. See if you can push out a fart."

Now excuse her while Zahra leaned down and put her stethoscope AND ear directly to Toby's belly. She waited for the gas pressure to raise.

Hmm... Partner partner partner... Rowan was surveying the room when oh! Yay! "Sure!" she beamed up at the older boy from her tiny little 4 foot 5 inches of height and nodded at him. "I'm Rusty. It's nice to meet you, Jackson!" It was. She was loving making all these new friends.

BUT on to the lesson and things. "Do you need a stethoscope or can you do that spell?" Cause she was gonna get one for herself, so she could grab one for him and bring it over if he wanted her to. She wouldn't mind.

He was eager to get this thing going, cause holding things in was never good for ones health - or so that's what he thought, and reeeeaaalllyy.. if you had to go, you had to go. DON'T HOLD BACK!

This was going to be awesome, and it was a bonus that AJ wasn't one of those prissy squirmy anti-bodily gasses girls. "I love that none of this bothers you," he commented. It made things easier and far more enjoyable. "All set," he confirmed. They were both gasssssssy, so they'd easily get their work done.

When AJ raised her wand at him, he didn't flinch, this wasn't like the other classes where he would otherwise object, and frankly he wanted to hear what his gets had to say for themselves. Instinctively, he untucked his shirt and pulled it up to expose his navel. SONOROUS COME AT HIM!

He chuckled lightly as he was told to hang on, completely at ease he inhaled a deep breath or two to give his body more air to work with. That's how it worked, right?

AND THERE WERE SOUNDS! "Awesome," he mused, "Uh huh, yep, on it," he said as he perched himself up on a table, pushing things out of the way so he could lay flat, his feet dangling off the edge. "What's the verdict?" he asked, waiting for AJ to examine his sounds.

... op... oppppp.... OOOOOOPS, he wasn't sure how much longer his fart would stay inside him, his butt was about to erupt! Ahem.

OH THAT WAS SO WEIRD! Zhenya's face froze a bit as she tried to listen to the sounds coming from her stomach. Really really weird. She'd never actually heard those noises that loud before. Occasionally she heard some, like at night after she'd eaten a lot and was in the quiet dorm, or her bedroom at Sophia's, but not in the middle of a classroom. Sounds like a crowd in there. That made Zhenya laugh a bit too hard, and she let out a giant fart, which just made her laugh even harder. So hard, in fact, that she had to brace her arms on her knees, bent over. She'd grown up with an older brother, a gassy uncle, and a 'pull my finger' kind of Grandpapi. Farts were just funny.

Toby had the grace to look offended (dramatically so). "You question my integrity? I am a Hufflepuff, Kettleburn. We're honest. And honestly, I think you ate a lion."

He straightened up again, ready for Zahra to hear what his belly had to say, though he had to laugh. "You're crazy. Didn't you know Tobys don't toot? Not in PUBLIC." Not when people could HEAR him, gOSH.

Though maybe there was something for her. A burp. He could DO THAT. One had been building for a WHILE, but Toby was far too mild-mannered to DO anything about it. Except Zahra was here now, and she brought out his wild side. She turned him into a Gryffindor. A Gryffindor that emitted gas. From the MOUTH. READY. HERE IT COMES.

*burp*

Possibly, the most pathetic excuse for a belch escaped Toby's lips, and he stood there, deadpan expression. DISAPPOINTING.

The Slytherin pointed his wand on his stomach, and casted “Sonorus.” to it. He then gulped two cans of fizzy drinks to...well, make his tummy more awake with sounds. The teenager was about to listen to his own belly when he heard the professor call out to them. Meeeh. He didn’t feel like partnering up really, but it was the instruction. Ethan raised his hand to get the professor’s attention this time. Everyone else had partnered up, and he was practically left without a partner.

Actually, he didn’t mind partnering up with the blonde professor, because she’s a kind woman. Besides, he might learn more things from her, yeah? “Can you work with me, professor? Everyone’s partnered up. I think.” He said as he quickly scanned the room. Patting his stomach, “You can go listen first if you want. I amplified mine already.” He said offering his...well, abs. He’d been working out real hard the past few months. Mhm...

As she walked around watching all the students Cassie smiled at how well it was going. The noises she void hear sounded perfect for readings and everyone seemed to be taking notes. "Very good Zahra" us she seemed to have the hang of it and now she was working with Toby.

Just as she went to turn she heard a voice, Ethan didn't seem to have a partner. "Of course I'll work with you." Grabbing a piece of parchment she walked towards him. Hearing his words she listened a moment, "yes I think I can hear it already." she listened somemore before writing a few things down on her page. "Your stomach is very noisy. That sound is longer and that is short mixed with long."

Writing a few more things she looked at Ethan, "do you want to try me now?"Not that she was eager for students to learn about gas in hwr stomach, but it was for learning."

Adi laughed with Zhenya. Really, she was a fun person to work with and he was enjoying himself. But good golly! She had a lot of activity going on in her tummy. All the better for him because it meant there were more stuff for him to scribble down.

And then... A LOUD fart! Adi started laughing again, gasping out to Zhenya, "What died in here?'' with a wrinkle of his nose. He was kidding with her but she seemed to be having too much of a good time laughing to be bothered. Look at her doubled up like that!

"That's what happens when you eat too many raspberries. You make raspberries!" LOLLL. Man, Adi was having a great time. Still laughing, he shakily made more notes.



"Okay, gassy girl. Whenever you're ready to listen to my stomach.'' Hehe. Could he compete with Zhenya's gas?

Ethan grinned. Well, at least his stomach was behaving well, and being all gentlemanly. Can you imagine it sounding like...there’s a hungry mountain troll in there? Well, IT IS possible, but at least the food selection in the classroom wasn’t as heavy as the ones prepared during Feasts, so it was all good. Basically it’s just the fizzy drink talking. Patting his stomach, as if to say ‘well done’, Ethan nodded and took his stethoscope and hooked it in his ear.

Ethan squinted...and in seconds his eyes widened at the amplified sound coming from his stethoscope. “There seems to be a DYING cow inside your stomach professor. Do you feel alright?” He’s legit worried. Probably it was the cheese.

Zhenya was CRYING from the laughter! His comments were just soooo funny. "A troll, I think," she gasped, giggling uncontrollably. A loud troll!

You make raspberries!

HAHAHAHAHA, That just toppled her over onto the floor, her stomach now aching from the laughter. After a few minutes, and the giggles had mostly subsided, she pulled herself off the ground, wiping away the tears with the bottom of her shirt, and took a few deep breaths to try and control the giggling. A few were still erupting but mostly she was just smiling.

A few more giggles at being called gassy girl, she nodded. "Yep I think I'm ready." She pulled her wand out of her pocket, pointed it at Adi's stomach and said "Sonorus." She couldn't hear anything for a few seconds, and was about to cast it again, when she heard a loud and sudden gurgle sound. It made her jump slightly, and she snorted out a laugh. Jumpy, gassy girl. Had she jumped much more, she could have farted again. As soon as she heard the loud, sudden gurgle, she heard a few more longer and lower rumbles. "Something's moving in there Adi," she said jokingly. She quickly scribbled down the noises on her parchment and tried to listen again.

"All right so...we just...have to cast the charm and listen to each other's noises? And write it down?" Just to clarify. Eden was probably in LA-LA land when Morgan explained it...so...eh. She swung her stethoscope around just a bit, and gently, too, as she eyed the partners around them. It looked like that was what they were doing. "You can listen to my tummy first." She said with a nod.

This would be....weird. And hopefully interesting?

"Um...I'm sorry if I...." She lowered her voice. "Fart." HOW EMBARRASSING. EDEN REFUSED TO DO IT.

Oh good, Eden would work with her. Penelope didn't know Eden very well, but Eden was cool. Eden was a seventh year, right? Might be a useful study buddy. Seventh years knew a lot of stuff. It would be good to learn things from seventh years before all of the seventh years graduated.

"Yeah, we do the charm, listen for stomach noises, and write it down." Sounded easy enough. Penelope got out parchment and a quill to write down everything. So, who should go first? Apparently she was. Okay, she could do it. This would be weird. What if she couldn't get the charm to work on Eden? Penelope hadn't heard anything that sounded like it was coming from the sixth floor when they did the grave thing, so she wasn't entirely sure if she had done the spell correctly. Either way she would still try her best with Eden.

And now Eden was apologizing for possible future farting. "It's okay." That was sort of the whole point of the activity, listening to stomach sounds and farts.

Penelope pointed her wand at Eden. "Sonorus." Moving a little bit closer to Eden so she could hear better, Penelope listened for stomach noises and jotted a few notes on her parchment. She could hear gurgling noises.

SPOILER!!: notes

Long low sound
gurgling

There was food being digested in Eden's stomach. Other than that, Penelope had no idea what the stomach noises meant. "Do you want to try it on me now?"

Eden thought Penelope was really sweet. Wasn't she the mastermind behind the pet rock adoption? Hmm. That was cool. "All right. Yeah. Sounds good. " Eden opened her notebook and flipped through so she could be allllll ready to write stuff down.

Weirdest Divination class EVER. O_o

(But Eden was enjoying it. Such an enjoyable class!)

Eden suddenly stood very still and tried not to move too much so that Penelope could get some accurate noised and whatnot. It was reaaaaally awkward, especially since Eden did not LIKE her stomach area too much. After Penelope scribbled down some stuff, she stood up straight and took a deeeeep breath. Apparently, she hadn't been breathing properly while the stethoscope was in use. Oops.

"Yeah--I'll go now--" and Eden plugged her ears with the stethoscope and pushed the metal piece against Penelope's tummy. Hmm....She furrowed her brow as she listened to the noises. Interesting...yes...very...just...

It just sounded like a stomach? "Do you know if we're supposed to determine if we hear words or...?" She had no idea. But she wrote down the noises? Weird WEIRD.

Angel now had to figure out about partners, when suddenly Hady asked if they wanted to be a partner. "Hey, Hady!" Angel thought it would be cool to work with Hady on this strange divination subject. "Yeah I'd love to work with you." Angel know had to figure out who was going first, she was a bit nervous about this and didn't want to go first maybe Hady would. "You want to go first?" Angel had a feeling this was going to get interesting and it was going to get interesting very fast.

Yay, she wanted to be his partner. Team lions! Big lion and little lion to be exact. "Hey, Rusty!" The Korean boy grinned at her. Gosh, she was so tiny and cute. Also she's so bouncy. Hehehe. He really wanted to pat her head but well.... "I want to try the stetho... Stethosco..." What was that thing named again? "Stethos..cope. Right. Stethoscope first, then the Sonorus charm later if we have a time." Jackson then grabbed the stethoscope as the younger Gryffie handed him one and placed the earbud to his ears. Muggle stuffs are so unique, huh? Hehehe.

"I'll try first, okay?" He decided to sit down (Because this girl was so tiny or maybe he was just a bit taller--5'10" Not that tall for Western people actually.) He tried to listen what happened to this girl's stomach. There's a small gurgle sound inside. "Did you skip your breakfast?" He asked.

SPOILER!!: Angel

"Yeah I'd love to work with you." Angel know had to figure out who was going first, she was a bit nervous about this and didn't want to go first maybe Hady would. "You want to go first?" Angel had a feeling this was going to get interesting and it was going to get interesting very fast.

A slight grin cross her face when Angel agreed to work with her. "Great," she replied a moment of relief washing over her. It'd be easier to work with another girl on this 'different' activity, especially one that was a friend.

Oh Angel wanted her to go first then? Yeah sure she could give it a go. "Okay. I think I'm going to give the spell a try first though alright? So um just get comfortable?" Hady suggested shrugging her shoulders. Boy was this strange... Removing her wand from it's holster on her arm she pointed it at the older girls stomach area and spoke clearly focusing on hearing whatever she could. "Sonorus!"

Lowering her wand and leaning towards her friend she listened as hard as she could. Had it worked?

"Don't cry because the troll died in your tummy, Zhenya. Everything dies sometime.'' Sad but true. Oh and Adi did know that his friend was simply crying because she was laughing so much. "Gas gets you high, doesn't it?'' LOL! That would explain why she was laughing so much.

Oh, Merlin! HAHA! Maybe he should stop cracking jokes because he was going to make Zhenya die of laughter. Buuut on the other hand, he liked making her laugh. "Merlin, Zhenya! Are you okay?" She hadn't hurt herself with that fall right?

Right! She seemed to be just fine. Adi now TRIED to stay as still as possible as he could so that Zhenya could do her thing. It was challenging, man but he settled for moving his left hand around, waving it like a conductor's baton and tapping one of his feet.

"Oh there may be a whole lot of things moving in there,'' Adi responded with wink. "All that cheese and raspberries...'' Oh, oh, oh! He could feel gas moving along his intestines until... OUT it came!

Too bad it wasn't as loud as Zhenya's but it was still a fart. "A fart for your notes.'' Hehe. This was so NOT weird with Zhenya. Nope.

Angel now had to figure out how this was going to go down, she didn't want her friend hearing any weird noises, she thought that it would be funny if her friend did though but hopefully there wasn't any grumbling noises because at the minute she was really hungry and was starting to get peckish.

*grumble*

Angel wondered what Hady would hear. "You hearing anything?" Angel decided to ask, she really wanted to know what went on in her tummy, maybe there were little people talking and making her work.

Natalia looked up from the parchment and shrugged at her partner. "I dunno... I think that's what I heard?" The fourth year was uncertain of it herself. "I only heard it once, so I wasn't really sure..." She admitted, drawing more question marks next to her third observation.

"Do you want me to listen to it again?" Natalia suggested, feeling that the more they observe, the more actually the results would become. Setting up the stethoscope once more, Natalia listened more closely to the sounds of the stomach.

"I don't hear anything else..." Moving the chest piece in circles, Natalia attempted to detect more sounds. "...yeah, no more voices! So that's good, I guess!" The Lioness flashed a small grin at her partner in reassurance. It was just that one time that Natalia thought she heard a human voice. What made the sound? Natalia surely hoped it was a figment of her own imagination, but who knows...

This was all just too cool. Bet those boring muggles at their ordinary schools wouldn't be having a class on farts and how to interpret them. Wizards pretty much win at life. In fact AJ was a proud of her education and everything she was learning that when she got back home she would teach her parents what their farts meant. It was always good to see what your hard earned money was being used for. What a thoughtful daughter she was. They would be so proud.

AJ laughed at Zeke's comment. "It's because I'm a boy at heart." Yup, AJ was the biggest tomboy there was and she was definitely just one of he guys. This was something that her sister hated. Angel was always trying to dress her up and get her to wear makeup, but yuck!

She waited while he got himself all situated and thought getting him to lay down was a good call. "Okay. I hear lots of bubbling and rumbling. Some are quiet while the others sound pretty fierce." This seemed note worthy. Yeah, AJ didn't always take notes but fart reading was intense so notes were scribbled down. "My professional verdict is that you need to let that fart you're holding in rip so I can fully understand what's going on." Show us what you got.

The thought had crossed his mind more than once this lesson that he wouldn't be needing the subject for anything he intended to pursuit after school. But THIS... was epic. Hilarious. BEST THING EVER. Did Emily have to study fartomancy? He might ask her in his letter, he'd been meaning to write.

It didn't take much convincing on his part to agree with AJ's statement, "You are," he confirmed, "but it's awesome, don't ever change." Legit, seriously. Girly girls were all sorts of high maintenance not to mention sometimes boring and difficult to appease.

BUT. Speaking of his butt... it was about to do it's thing, and his own butt-clenching wasn't doing much to trap the gas in. Bubbling and rumbling sounded normal, or so he thought, and the fierce part was right up his ally. "Yep, fierce is me all over, inside and out." It was a lion thing, he was sure she'd have it too. Her 'professional' verdict however had him chuckling and as a result he had no option but to do as she said.

*FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART... Fart ... fart.*

Then silence.

...

"How was that?" Nevermind the eggy smell from breakfast.

SPOILER!!: Angel

Angel now had to figure out how this was going to go down, she didn't want her friend hearing any weird noises, she thought that it would be funny if her friend did though but hopefully there wasn't any grumbling noises because at the minute she was really hungry and was starting to get peckish.

*grumble*

Angel wondered what Hady would hear. "You hearing anything?" Angel decided to ask, she really wanted to know what went on in her tummy, maybe there were little people talking and making her work.

Hady listened for about a minute but couldn't hear anything. "Nope, nothing. Lemme try this again really quick.." she decided. Pointing her wand once more at Angel's stomach she spoke clearly and with as much intent as she could manage. "Sonorus!"

Lowering her wand to her side she knelt down to listen better. She thought she heard something that sounded like a grumble but she wasn't completely sure. "It sorta sounds grumbly...are you hungry maybe?" Hady asked tilting her head upwards to look at her older friend. Really she was just guessing but it was a start.

Once she was done finishing her notes she watched as Ethan got his stethoscope, "Oh I could do the charm if you want, but that does work just as well." Keeping a close eyes as he moved the stethoscope around her eyes widened for a second and instinct had her chuckle a bit, "It does? Well goodness." She didn't want to be too noisy.

"Are they grumbles or more of long sounds?" That was important to write down. Cassie was now getting curious as to what her stomach might be trying to tell her. Checking the time she knew they had time left, so maybe he could figure out exactly what type of sounds.

Her own stomach did a sort of roll, and she had to clench her butt cheeks a little bit tighter. "You'll get your chance in a minute," she cooed to her stomach as if she were speaking to a small child. Patience was a strong suit of hers, but she kept reminding herself that the longer she held in this fart the more fierce it would be. She wanted the whole class to stop and admire her farting ability. It would be worth the gas pains in the end.

"Thanks, man," Him agreeing that she really was a boy was like the best compliment that you could get. Her face lit up a little at the thought. See, Angel! She was cool because Zeke said so. "I don't plan on it." Why would she go from jeans and ponytails to dresses and make-up? Made no sense to her. None.

"Oh man, you're belly is speaking to me." What was about to erupt from the boy was going to be intense, she could just tell. No instruments or spells would be needed to here this one. "You can do it, Zeke." Such an encouraging person she was. Her bedside manner was getting better.

And fart he did. The egg smell hit her first, and her eyes watered a bit. Like a true professional she was instead of saying anything at first she scribbled down something on her parchment. Picking the paper up, she held it high so Zeke could see.

Scribbled on the paper was a large number 8! "Awesome fart." Yup, AJ had just graded his fart and on a scale of 1-10 he had scored an 8. That was her professional verdict. This was what the professor wanted them to do, right?
