OWL Divination Class 2

Professor Tiquelle looked up as another student walked into the classroom.
"Good morning, Mr. Black," she said as Mr. Black entered the Divination classroom.
She decided that she would start the class and let all of the late students catch up when they arrived. It would be their own fault for being late, after all.

"Ok, fifth years," she began, "This is your second OWL class of the year. I would like to start with a small quiz of some things that you may remember from last lesson." she informed the class. She had now gotten up from her desk and was standing on the slightly-raised platform, facing the class.
"Firstly, who can tell me what it means if you see a sun in your teacup?" she started, giving the class a relatively easy question to start off. It wasn't a hard sign to read, so she hoped that at least one of the students would know what it was.

(Where are you guys finding these questions? I search and find nothing)

Zoe thought about it for a while. But she was still at a lost. She just sat waiting for someone else to answer.

[[OOC: The HP Lexicon. The link to the exact page is http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/divination.html#tea_leaf_symbols I may add a few of my own symbols in which aren't there but if I do I'll make a list of them all.]]

(Thank you so much. I was getting soo frustrated.)

Zoe thought on it for a little while then raised her hand. "Great Happiness." Zoe said without waiting for the professor to call on her. She hoped that she had the right answer.

[[OOC: You can find the answers to a lot of the classes on the lexicon, it's REALLY useful. I use it a fair bit with Davina =))]]

Professor Tiquelle was glad when someone finally answered the question. She was glad that at least one student payed attention in her class.
"Yes, that is correct, Miss Weasley." she told Miss Weasley, "Five points to Hufflepuff." she announced to the class. She would add up all the points at the end of the class. She cast a quick nonverbal spell which made her quill write 'H - 5' on her piece of parchment which lay on her desk. It would be easier this way, as she wasn't the best at mathematics.
"I'll ask you just one more for now," she said to the class, who were probably relieved. Most students didn't like direct questions much, they generally preferred practicals. This was why most of her lessons were based on actually trying to predict the future. Not many students could do it accurately, but it was good practise all-in-all.
"Who can remember what a skull stands for?" she asked, wondering if anyone apart from Zoe payed attention in her previous lesson or not.

(thank you soo much I bookmarked it)

Gaining points for her house made Zoe happy. They really did need them. They had never won the house cup or anything. Most of the time the were in like 3 or 4 place. This made Zoe want to work that much harder. Zoe was happy that she was paying such good attention to class. She knew this answer too. Again she raised her hand. "It means that there is danger in your path." Zoe told Professor Tiquelle.

Jemma smiled. She was glad Miss Weasley was paying attention and answering lots of questions, as she could give some points to Hufflepuff this way. She always longed for Hufflepuff to win, though she gave points honestly. She would rather loose honestly than win by cheating.
"Right again, Miss Weasley." she told her "You're on a roll today, That's another five points for Hufflepuff." she finished. She decided not to ask any more questions, as it was clear that Miss Weasley would know the answers and that nobody else was paying attention.
"Now, onto some more practical work," she addressed the class. "I know you practiced reading tea leaves last lesson, but there is a slight difference this time." she explained to the class, "I want you to identify the shapes, but also see if they are clear or if they have slightly wobbly edges," she continued. It was hard to explain this to the class. She would show them if they had any questions about it in their cups later though.
"Their is a teapot and teacups at the back of the classroom. Drink up and pair up!" she finished, letting the class get on with some more independent practical work. She would of course help them, but she would let them try to do it themselves first.

Zoe sat in her seat for a little while. She was in no hurry to get to the back of the class for a cup. Slowly she rose and went to retreive one. Zoe wondered who she would pair up with. As she stood waiting to get tea from the teapost she scanned the class for someone to partner up with.

Rose nodded as Professor Tiquelle told them what they were doing. As she stood up from her seat she went to the back of the classroom and grabbed a cup and started pouring some tea into it. As she walked slowly back to her table not wanting to spill her tea, she set her tea on the table and looke aroubnd the classroom. She didn't see her best friend Albus anywhere in sight or even in class as she sighed her and Albus were partners in there classes alot but she guess she have to pick another person. As she saw her cousin Zoe she smiled. "Hey Zoe, you want to be my partner?"Rose asked her calmly but shyly at the same time.

Zoe looked up at the sound of her name. She wasn't sure where it came from. Just then she saw her cousin Rose. "Sure. Works for me." Zoe told her. Quickly Zoe grabbed up her books that she would need in one hand. She had to slow down to keep from spilling her tea. Slowly she picked up her teacup filled with tea and walked over to where Rose was seated. Once there Zoe laid her book down and then slowly sat her teacup down. "Hi there." Zoe said looking at Rose.
