Divination (any level)[8]

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*rushes in and hands Firenze his paper explaining the symbolic significance of the empty purse and the cursive "D" he found in his tea leaves*

*sits toward the back*

*says to Firenze* I left out a bit at the end, hope it's alright. I just don't feel comfortable being so informal in a paper.

[Holly Palmers]

*excited, still on a high from previous events of the day. Sits, then realizes she had homework and digs it out of the very bottom of her bag. It is horrible crumpled and she makes a huge show of flattening it on her desktop*

[Firenze]

*collets Holly's and Sebastian's homework and smiles widely*

I'm happy to see our Prefects acting as an example for others. As it should be!

*trots around the room, passing both Sebastian and Holly a crystal ball*

We're going to try this once more, but I want you to instead of clearing your mind to find a specific future vision. Find something related to your life after Hogwarts. If you see something else it's probably just your current worries getting in the way, but it's alright. All predicitions are telling and can help us.

[Holly Palmers]

*takes hers and puts it on the little stand on her desk*

*stares at Sebastian trying to set his up for the longest time before gazing stupidly into the crystal ball for several more minutes*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*doesn't feel like emptying his mind and stares into the crystal*

*sees an engagement ring and a white rose*

Pish posh, that is utter rubbish.

[Johanna Vane]

*closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths to clear her mind, the looks at the crystal ball. At first all she sees is a bunch of pink clouds, then begins to notice the shape of a skeleton horse with wings, but large and fat. It was coughing.*

*tries looking closer as worries fill her mind, but the image dissapears. thinks: Was that Lavaci, or Evon? Or maybe a stray? probably just my imagination...*

*still, she pulls out her book and flips through it*

[Holly Palmers]

*sighs, taking Sebastian's rubbish comment as a hint that he actually saw something*

[Johanna Vane]

*sets the book down, not finding anything about what she saw and takes a couple of deep breaths, clearing her mind again, then looks at the swirling pink clouds once again*

*she sees a skeleton foal running around while a full grown one flies in the air. She smiles and the image dissapears, and even though she is excited, she has to keep a small worry. She thinks: I should still call for Evon... just incase...*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*turns to Holly*

You didn't see anything? I was expecting you to see like a Dark Mark or blue and silver colours...

*runs his fingers down his crystal*

[Holly Palmers]

Well I wasn't trying, to be honest. Let me have another go.

*taps her fingers on the desk once and then stares, knowing that Sebastian is watching her*

*sees splashes of colour, or lights...explosions?*

There, there, I see something. Tell me yours though, or you'll never know.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*frowns, looking downward*

Alright. I saw a white rose and an engagement ring...it's bothering me because I've always pictured Aurelie as my white-- *stops and bites his lip*

[Holly Palmers]

*can finish the sentence herself*

I don't see a cause for worry. I mean, unless she walks around with a ring in her pocket.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*eyes grow huge, looking fearful*

Have you seen her with a ring in her pocket!?!

[Holly Palmers]

*shakes her head*

No, I actually haven't seen her at all.

*slaps him on the back*

So just avoid her and avoid your fate.

*laughs, pulling open her interpretation book*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

That's true. But it will be heartbreaking for her.

*sets his chin on her shoulder, peeking at her textbook*

What did you get this time?
