spaceDrusilla entered the classroom in a daze. She was quite late, she was certain of it. Where did the time go? She'd been so caught up in her cards and runes that she'd completely lost track of it... or perhaps she'd simply stared off into space for a couple of hours. Both were equally possible, after all... except that when she arrived in the classroom and checked the clock, she was actually on time. She frowned; the clock in her office must be wrong, then. She'd have to fix it... if she remembered. Which she probably wouldn't, of course. She blinked a moment, then smiled at her students, her arms sweeping open in a grand gesture."Hello, my little ducks, and welcome to Divination. I am Professor Somerset. Now then, in this class, you will need to have an open mind, open eyes, and patience. Divination is a powerful art, but difficult. Also, there will be no disrespecting of my craft, or of the abilities of fellow students... now then! With that unpleasantness out of the way, we can begin."
spaceShe paused long enough to let the students absorb her words, and long enough to get just a tad distracted... what was she looking at, though? She scowled for a moment, actively redirecting her mind away from the path it'd tried to wander, and smiled widely again at her students before launching into the lecture."Divination is an old art, practiced by Magic folk and Muggles alike; though of course, they rarely read the signs correctly, they lack the ability to do so, usually.

Every time you are faced with a choice, you could change the events that were to transpire. And everything is important; choosing something different for lunch; going to bed an hour earlier than usual; even stopping for one second on your way to a lesson to gaze out the window can set and entirely new wave of things in motion than would have had you gone about the usual path. And so, nothing is certain. But, we can always look. We can always search. In the future, we see signs, hints of things to come. Whether or not they are to be is largely up to us.

Divination is, first and foremost, the art of searching... for the future, for the answer, for the key. And now, I'll have an answer from you, ducky. What, to you, is Divination, and what purpose does it serve?"She waited patiently, eager to hear what her students had to say. It would tell her much about them... but didn't she already know?

Divination Notes
Lesson 1: What is Divination?
The Definition of Divination:
Divination is the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of an occultic, standardized process or ritual. Used in various forms throughout history, diviners ascertain their interpretations of how a querent should proceed by reading signs, events, or omens, or through alleged contact with a supernatural agency.
The Categories of Divination:
• An omen (also called portent or presage) is a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future, often signifying the advent of change. Though the word "omen" is usually devoid of reference to the change's nature, hence being possibly either "good" or "bad," the term is more often used in a foreboding sense, as with the word "ominous". The origin of the word is unknown, although it may be connected with the Latin word audire, meaning "to hear." • Cleromancy is a form of divination using sortition, casting of lots, or casting bones or stones, in which an outcome is determined by means that normally would be considered random, such as the rolling of dice, but are sometimes believed to reveal the will of God, or other supernatural entities. • Augury ranks a set of given possibilities. It can be qualitative (such as shapes, proximities, etc.): for example, dowsing (a form of rhabdomancy) developed from this type of divination. Augury is normally considered to specifically refer to divination by studying the flight patterns of birds. • Spontaneous. An unconstrained form of divination, free from any particular medium, and actually a generalization of all types of divination. The answer comes from whatever object the diviner happens to see or hear. Some religions use a form of bibliomancy: they ask a question, riffle the pages of their holy book, and take as their answer the first passage their eyes light upon. Other forms of spontaneous divination include reading auras and New Age methods of feng shui such as "intuitive" and "fuzion"
The Purpose of Divination:
Divination is a means to attempt some form of understanding of events to come. The true purpose of this form of magic is hard to say. It is used by some to plan their day to day activities, and by some to attempt circumventing or ensuring that certain things come to pass. It is a fluid magic and is not understood by many who do not have either the Sight nor the patience to learn to See. In this lesson, you will be taught the methods for Seeing, but in order to be successful, you must believe, and put in a fair amount of effort. It will come easier for some than others; any among you might be a Seer, blind to your talents due to lack of practice. For others, visions and signs will be difficult to see. This is natural, and all it means is that you must try harder.
Homework:Do some research and write a short essay on one method of Divination we'll study this year.

spaceDrusilla sat behind her desk, staring forward, waiting. She watched the clock on the opposite wall, her head bobbing back and forth, left and right, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock... her students should be arriving any minute now. As they filed in she sat up straight and gave a smile, her eyes bright. Today's lesson should be easy, particularly compared to some of the others."Hello, duckies, today's lesson is on Astrology, which I'm sure you're all at least a little familiar with, yes? It is the method of using the stars to divine the future. Now, there are several schools of thought on how to do this, of course. You can read about each of them on the board, and in more detail in your books. For now, though, I'd like you each to tell me what your Astrological sign is,"she inquired with a smile."As I'm sure you all know, your sign is supposed to tell a lot about you. It can be used to predict your future, or even to tell things about your personality. So, we'll go around the room and share our signs, and then you can tell me what, if anything, you know about your sign, using any of the zodiacs."She tapped her fingers on her desk, curious. What would she learn about each of them today? It could be interesting, to say the least.
space"I suppose I should start off, yes? My birthday is January 12, which makes me a Capricorn in the Western practice. I've never really found that I fit very well into the general traits associated with my sign, such as ambitious and responsible. However, they are also known for loyalty, which I do value highly, and patience. I find that I must be very patient, given how patient others have to be with me. It's only fair, after all. My approach to friendship is the one area in which I match my sign quite well; I am loyal and would do whatever I needed to in order to help someone I cared about in need... Hm. So, how about you? Does anyone wish to share? Have any questions?"She was quite curious, not just about their signs, but about how well they might match up with them. She'd never thought of herself as suiting her own very well. Sometimes, though, people's signs were almost uncannily well suited. That was always quite interesting to see.

Divination Notes
Lesson 1 : Astrology
The Definition of Astrology:
Astrology comprises several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world.
Western Astrology
• Western astrology is a form of divination based on the construction of a horoscope for an exact moment, such as a person's birth. It uses the tropical zodiac, which is aligned to the equinoctial points. • Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon and planets, which are analyzed by their movement through signs of the zodiac (twelve spatial divisions of the ecliptic) and by their aspects (based on geometric angles) relative to one another. They are also considered by their placement in houses (twelve spatial divisions of the sky). Astrology's modern representation in western popular media is usually reduced to sun sign astrology, which considers only the zodiac sign of the Sun at an individual's date of birth, and represents only 1/12 of the total chart. • The horoscope visually expresses the set of relationships for the time and place of the chosen event. These relationships are between the seven 'planets', signifying tendencies such as war and love; the twelve signs of the zodiac; and the twelve houses. Each planet is in a particular sign and a particular house at the chosen time, when observed from the chosen place, creating two kinds of relationship. A third kind is the aspect of each planet to every other planet, where for example two planets 120° apart (in 'trine') are in a harmonious relationship, but two planets 90° apart ('square') are in a conflicted relationship. Together these relationships and their interpretations supposedly form "...the language of the heavens speaking to learned men."
Hindu Astrology:
• The earliest Vedic text on astronomy is the Vedanga Jyotisha; Vedic thought later came to include astrology as well. • Hindu natal astrology originated with Hellenistic astrology by the 3rd century BCE, though incorporating the Hindu lunar mansions. The names of the signs (e.g. Greek 'Kpios' for Aries, Hindi 'Kriya'), the planets (e.g. Greek 'Helios' for Sun, astrological Hindi 'Heli'), and astrological terms (e.g. Greek 'apoklima' and 'sunaphe' for declination and planetary conjunction, Hindi 'apoklima' and 'sunapha' respectively) in Varaha Mihira's texts are considered conclusive evidence of a Greek origin for Hindu astrology. The Indian techniques may also have been augmented with some of the Babylonian techniques.
Chinese and East-Asian Astrology:
• Chinese astrology has a close relation with Chinese philosophy (theory of the three harmonies: heaven, earth and man) and uses concepts such as yin and yang, the Five phases, the 10 Celestial stems, the 12 Earthly Branches, and shichen (時辰 a form of timekeeping used for religious purposes). The early use of Chinese astrology was mainly confined to political astrology, the observation of unusual phenomena, identification of portents and the selection of auspicious days for events and decisions. • The constellations of the Zodiac of western Asia and Europe were not used; instead the sky is divided into Three Enclosures (三垣 sān yuán), and Twenty-eight Mansions (二十八宿 èrshíbā xiù) in twelve Ci (十二次).[88] The Chinese zodiac of twelve animal signs is said to represent twelve different types of personality. It is based on cycles of years, lunar months, and two-hour periods of the day (the shichen). The zodiac traditionally begins with the sign of the Rat, and the cycle proceeds through 11 other animals signs: the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.[89] Complex systems of predicting fate and destiny based on one's birthday, birth season, and birth hours, such as ziping and Zi Wei Dou Shu (simplified Chinese: 紫微斗数; traditional Chinese: 紫微斗數; pinyin: zǐwēidǒushù) are still used regularly in modern day Chinese astrology. They do not rely on direct observations of the stars. • The Korean zodiac is identical to the Chinese one. The Vietnamese zodiac is almost identical to Chinese zodiac except the second animal is the Water Buffalo instead of the Ox, and the fourth animal is the Cat instead of the Rabbit. The Japanese have since 1873 celebrated the beginning of the new year on 1 January as per the Gregorian Calendar. The Thai zodiac begins, not at Chinese New Year, but either on the first day of fifth month in the Thai lunar calendar, or during the Songkran festival (now celebrated every 13–15 April), depending on the purpose of the use.
Homework:Write a short essay about your own astrological sign, using any of the zodiac systems learned about in class.

[align=justify][size=11][color=white]space[/color][color=#DA9100]Drusilla sat behind her desk, staring forward, waiting. She watched the clock on the opposite wall, her head bobbing back and forth, left and right, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock... her students should be arriving any minute now. As they filed in she sat up straight and gave a smile, her eyes bright. Today's lesson should be easy, particularly compared to some of the others.[/color] [b]"Hello, duckies, today's lesson is on Astrology, which I'm sure you're all at least a little familiar with, yes? It is the method of using the stars to divine the future. Now, there are several schools of thought on how to do this, of course. You can read about each of them on the board, and in more detail in your books. For now, though, I'd like you each to tell me what your Astrological sign is,"[/b] [color=#DA9100]she inquired with a smile.[/color] [b]"As I'm sure you all know, your sign is supposed to tell a lot about you. It can be used to predict your future, or even to tell things about your personality. So, we'll go around the room and share our signs, and then you can tell me what, if anything, you know about your sign, using any of the zodiacs."[/b] [color=#DA9100]She tapped her fingers on her desk, curious. What would she learn about each of them today? It could be interesting, to say the least.[/color]
[color=white]space[/color][b]"I suppose I should start off, yes? My birthday is January 12, which makes me a Capricorn in the Western practice. I've never really found that I fit very well into the general traits associated with my sign, such as ambitious and responsible. However, they are also known for loyalty, which I do value highly, and patience. I find that I must be very patient, given how patient others have to be with me. It's only fair, after all. My approach to friendship is the one area in which I match my sign quite well; I am loyal and would do whatever I needed to in order to help someone I cared about in need... Hm. So, how about you? Does anyone wish to share? Have any questions?"[/b] [color=#DA9100]She was quite curious, not just about their signs, but about how well they might match up with them. She'd never thought of herself as suiting her own very well. Sometimes, though, people's signs were almost uncannily well suited. That was always quite interesting to see.[/color][/size][/align]

[list][list][list][list] [color=#003153][b]The Definition of Astrology:[/b][/color] [list][list][size=11][color=#B06500]Astrology comprises several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world.[/color][/size][/list][/list] [color=#003153][b]Western Astrology[/b][/color] [list][list][size=11][color=#B06500]• Western astrology is a form of divination based on the construction of a horoscope for an exact moment, such as a person's birth. It uses the tropical zodiac, which is aligned to the equinoctial points. • Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon and planets, which are analyzed by their movement through signs of the zodiac (twelve spatial divisions of the ecliptic) and by their aspects (based on geometric angles) relative to one another. They are also considered by their placement in houses (twelve spatial divisions of the sky). Astrology's modern representation in western popular media is usually reduced to sun sign astrology, which considers only the zodiac sign of the Sun at an individual's date of birth, and represents only 1/12 of the total chart. • The horoscope visually expresses the set of relationships for the time and place of the chosen event. These relationships are between the seven 'planets', signifying tendencies such as war and love; the twelve signs of the zodiac; and the twelve houses. Each planet is in a particular sign and a particular house at the chosen time, when observed from the chosen place, creating two kinds of relationship. A third kind is the aspect of each planet to every other planet, where for example two planets 120° apart (in 'trine') are in a harmonious relationship, but two planets 90° apart ('square') are in a conflicted relationship. Together these relationships and their interpretations supposedly form "...the language of the heavens speaking to learned men."[/color][/size][/list][/list] [color=#003153][b]Hindu Astrology:[/b][/color] [list][list][size=11][color=#B06500]• The earliest Vedic text on astronomy is the Vedanga Jyotisha; Vedic thought later came to include astrology as well. • Hindu natal astrology originated with Hellenistic astrology by the 3rd century BCE, though incorporating the Hindu lunar mansions. The names of the signs (e.g. Greek 'Kpios' for Aries, Hindi 'Kriya'), the planets (e.g. Greek 'Helios' for Sun, astrological Hindi 'Heli'), and astrological terms (e.g. Greek 'apoklima' and 'sunaphe' for declination and planetary conjunction, Hindi 'apoklima' and 'sunapha' respectively) in Varaha Mihira's texts are considered conclusive evidence of a Greek origin for Hindu astrology. The Indian techniques may also have been augmented with some of the Babylonian techniques.[/color][/size][/list][/list] [color=#003153][b]Chinese and East-Asian Astrology:[/b][/color] [list][list][size=11][color=#B06500]• Chinese astrology has a close relation with Chinese philosophy (theory of the three harmonies: heaven, earth and man) and uses concepts such as yin and yang, the Five phases, the 10 Celestial stems, the 12 Earthly Branches, and shichen (時辰 a form of timekeeping used for religious purposes). The early use of Chinese astrology was mainly confined to political astrology, the observation of unusual phenomena, identification of portents and the selection of auspicious days for events and decisions. • The constellations of the Zodiac of western Asia and Europe were not used; instead the sky is divided into Three Enclosures (三垣 sān yuán), and Twenty-eight Mansions (二十八宿 èrshíbā xiù) in twelve Ci (十二次).[88] The Chinese zodiac of twelve animal signs is said to represent twelve different types of personality. It is based on cycles of years, lunar months, and two-hour periods of the day (the shichen). The zodiac traditionally begins with the sign of the Rat, and the cycle proceeds through 11 other animals signs: the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.[89] Complex systems of predicting fate and destiny based on one's birthday, birth season, and birth hours, such as ziping and Zi Wei Dou Shu (simplified Chinese: 紫微斗数; traditional Chinese: 紫微斗數; pinyin: zǐwēidǒushù) are still used regularly in modern day Chinese astrology. They do not rely on direct observations of the stars. • The Korean zodiac is identical to the Chinese one. The Vietnamese zodiac is almost identical to Chinese zodiac except the second animal is the Water Buffalo instead of the Ox, and the fourth animal is the Cat instead of the Rabbit. The Japanese have since 1873 celebrated the beginning of the new year on 1 January as per the Gregorian Calendar. The Thai zodiac begins, not at Chinese New Year, but either on the first day of fifth month in the Thai lunar calendar, or during the Songkran festival (now celebrated every 13–15 April), depending on the purpose of the use.[/color][/size][/list][/list] [color=#003153][b]Homework:[/b][/color] [color=#B06500]Write a short essay about your own astrological sign, using any of the zodiac systems learned about in class.[/color][/list][/list][/list][/list][/quote]

spaceDrusilla entered the classroom in a daze. She was quite late, she was certain of it. Where did the time go? She'd been so caught up in her cards and runes that she'd completely lost track of it... or perhaps she'd simply stared off into space for a couple of hours. Both were equally possible, after all... except that when she arrived in the classroom and checked the clock, she was actually on time. She frowned; the clock in her office must be wrong, then.

Divination Notes
Lesson 1 : Introduction to Palmistry
The Definition of Palmistry:
Palmistry, or chiromancy, consists of the practice of evaluating a person's character or future life by "reading" the palm of that person's hand. Various "lines" ("heart line", "life line", etc.) and "mounts" (or bumps) (chirognomy), purportedly suggest interpretations by their relative sizes, qualities, and intersections. In some traditions, readers also examine characteristics of the fingers, fingernails, fingerprints and palmar skin patterns (dermatoglyphics), skin texture and color, shape of the palm, and flexibility of the hand.
Reading the Palm:
• Unlike many other forms of Divination, the purpose of Palmistry is to look into a person's entire life, rather than to isolate particular events. It cannot be used to divine anything specific or answer a specific question. Rather, it tells a person the sort of life they can expect to live. • A reader usually begins by reading the person's 'dominant hand' (the hand he or she writes with or uses the most), which is sometimes considered to represent the conscious mind, whereas the other hand is subconscious. In some traditions of palmistry, the other hand is believed to carry hereditary or family traits, or, depending on the palmist's cosmological beliefs, to convey information about past-life or karmic conditions.

spaceDrusilla had placed a single deck of cards before each chair in the classroom today, each deck from her own collection, well-worn and clearly used often. As the students filed in, she smiled widely at each of them."Hello, class! Today we'll be going over Cartomancy, which is a method of Divination using cards. There are many different types of cards that can be used, including some meant specifically for Divination, such as Tarot and Oracle cards. We will focus on learning about Cartomancy with a traditional playing card deck next unit, and break up Tarot into the Major and Minor Arcana the following two."She paused then, expression growing thoughtful for a moment before continuing."Today's focus is an introduction to the art of divining using cards, and the different types of spreads that can be used. There are notes on the board for you all to copy down. If you have any questions or anything you'd like to discuss, feel free. As always, house points will be awarded for participation."She waited patiently, eager to hear what her students had to say. By now, they should all be well enough versed in her lessons that there shouldn't be too much confusion, which was nice, since it tended to confuse her as well when there was.

Divination Notes
Lesson 1 : Introduction to Cartomancy
The Definition of Cartomancy:
Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. Forms of cartomancy appeared soon after playing cards were first introduced into Europe in the 14th century. Practitioners of cartomancy are generally known as cartomancers, card readers, or simply readers. Cartomancy is one of the oldest of the more common forms of fortune-telling. It is similar to tarot card reading in that various card spreads are used, such as single card, "Destiny Square," and 3 cards. The tarot can also be used in cartomancy. Cartomancy using standard playing cards was the most popular form of providing fortune-telling card readings in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. In English-speaking countries, a standard deck of Anglo-American bridge/poker playing cards (i.e., 52-card, four-suit set) can be used in the cartomancy reading; the deck is often augmented with jokers, and even with the blank card found in many packaged decks. In France, the 32-card piquet playing-card deck was, and still is, most typically used in cartomancy readings, while the 52-card deck was, and still is, also used for this purpose. (A piquet deck is with a 52-card deck with all of the 2s through the 6s removed. This leaves all of the 7s through the 10s, the face cards, and the aces.)
Types of Decks:
• Playing Cards: A traditional deck of playing cards can be used in divination. Interpretations vary, but generally speaking, each suit represents an idea or theme, often the elements. Each card is assigned its own individual meaning, which can be interpreted differently based on the circumstances and the reader. • Tarot: Tarot decks are split between two types of card, 78 belonging to the minor arcana and 22 belonging to the major. The minor arcana, which evolved from traditional 52 card decks, is split into four suits, typically wands, pentacles, swords and cups. Each suit is associated with an element. Every card in the deck has a meaning, which can be interpreted differently depending on the circumstances and the reader's own ideas. • Oracle: Oracle cards are like tarot, but with less structure. There are no suits or rules for them to follow, and most decks have to come with their own individual instructions on how to interpret them. They are usually themed, often with nature themes, such as specific animals or types of flower.
Spreads:
• Cut the Deck: A popular method using any sort of deck. A deck is cut and a single card drawn from the top. It is most often used to determine how high one's luck is running before making a decision, or to answer a yes or no question, making the simplicity of Playing Cards optimal for this method, with red cards meaning 'yes' and black cards meaning 'no,' and the number on the card indicating luck, higher numbers meaning higher luck. • Triptych: Another method which works with any sort of deck. Three cards are laid out, indicating, from left to right, the past, present, and future. The card in each position is interpreted based on the symbols or meaning associated with that card. Some Diviners will also take into account the direction of the card, if it is facing upside down, which would indicate that the card means the opposite of what it would usually. • The Celtic Cross: A complex spread most often associated with Tarot cards. Ten cards are laid out. First, two placed in the 'center', one on top of the other. The bottom card represents the future, and the top card represents what is currently helping or hindering the person. Another card is placed on either side, the left representing the past, and the right the future. One is placed above, representing the conscious mind, and one underneath, representing the subconscious. To the side are placed four more cards in a vertical line. From bottom to top, they represent what you think of yourself, what others think of you, your hopes and fears, and the eventual outcome.

[quote="Divination Notes"][align=center][size=18][color=#003153][b]Lesson 1 : Introduction to Cartomancy[/b][/color][/size]
[list][list][list][list] [color=#003153][b]The Definition of Cartomancy:[/b][/color] [list][list][size=11][color=#B06500]Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. Forms of cartomancy appeared soon after playing cards were first introduced into Europe in the 14th century. Practitioners of cartomancy are generally known as cartomancers, card readers, or simply readers. Cartomancy is one of the oldest of the more common forms of fortune-telling. It is similar to tarot card reading in that various card spreads are used, such as single card, "Destiny Square," and 3 cards. The tarot can also be used in cartomancy. Cartomancy using standard playing cards was the most popular form of providing fortune-telling card readings in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. In English-speaking countries, a standard deck of Anglo-American bridge/poker playing cards (i.e., 52-card, four-suit set) can be used in the cartomancy reading; the deck is often augmented with jokers, and even with the blank card found in many packaged decks. In France, the 32-card piquet playing-card deck was, and still is, most typically used in cartomancy readings, while the 52-card deck was, and still is, also used for this purpose. (A piquet deck is with a 52-card deck with all of the 2s through the 6s removed. This leaves all of the 7s through the 10s, the face cards, and the aces.)[/color][/size][/list][/list] [color=#003153][b]Types of Decks:[/b][/color] [list][list][size=11][color=#B06500]• Playing Cards: A traditional deck of playing cards can be used in divination. Interpretations vary, but generally speaking, each suit represents an idea or theme, often the elements. Each card is assigned its own individual meaning, which can be interpreted differently based on the circumstances and the reader. • Tarot: Tarot decks are split between two types of card, 78 belonging to the minor arcana and 22 belonging to the major. The minor arcana, which evolved from traditional 52 card decks, is split into four suits, typically wands, pentacles, swords and cups. Each suit is associated with an element. Every card in the deck has a meaning, which can be interpreted differently depending on the circumstances and the reader's own ideas. • Oracle: Oracle cards are like tarot, but with less structure.

spaceDrusilla entered the classroom in a daze. She was quite late, she was certain of it. Where did the time go? She'd been so caught up in her cards and runes that she'd completely lost track of it... or perhaps she'd simply stared off into space for a couple of hours. Both were equally possible, after all... except that when she arrived in the classroom and checked the clock, she was actually on time. She frowned; the clock in her office must be wrong, then. She'd have to fix it... if she remembered. Which she probably wouldn't, of course. She blinked a moment, then smiled at her students, her arms sweeping open in a grand gesture."Hello, duckies. I suppose I can skip the introductory nonsense, yes? You all know who I am by now... This will be our last year together. So, I'll just remind you all that, you will be respectful, of myself, my craft, and your classmates."
spaceShe paused long enough to let the students absorb her words, and long enough to get just a tad distracted... what was she looking at, though? She scowled for a moment, shoved the visions away, and smiled widely again at her students before launching into the lecture."So, since this is Seventh Year Divination, it is a bit different from other classes. It is entirely meant to be a year to review for your NEWTs. So, each lesson we will be going over a different year's curriculum, working on what you need help with and refreshing your memories. First week is, of course, Third Year Divination, so let's begin. I would like for you, students, to tell me everything you can remember from your first year of this class. Or, if you know of anything that confused you, or that confuses you now, ask questions."She stopped then, curious. She had, of course, seen this play out, but in different ways each time... how would it happen then?
spaceThe Seer's eyes glazed, and she shifted a bit, her head tilting in an odd manner, rather like a bird's, her eyes unblinking and unseeing. After a moment, she gave her head a light shake, and smiled again."Just like in previous years, participation equals house points; even if it's just to ask a question. So don't be shy."She waited patiently, eager to hear what her students had to say. It would tell her much about them... but didn't she already know? Sometimes she forgot...
