Divination (6th and 7th years)

[* JAQI]

Cici sat in her great winged armchair before the empty classroom. Today, they would be decoding more complex meaning in tea leaves. Sure, it was very basic Divination, but it was an art she had found was commonly lost by NEWT level. On each table (two poufs per table) was a tea kettle filled with hot water and two china cups, each with tea leaves already on the bottom. She noticed the clock, then flicked her wand in direction of the trap door. It flew open just as the bell rang.

Jenna walked in the door, looking almost as exhausted as she felt. This was one of two classes she had that hour, so she was also in Care of Magical Creatures at the same time. Her bookbag felt twice as heavy as normal, but she put on a smile as she set it down. "Good afternoon Cici," she said as she sat down.

Angel came in next, staggering under the weight of her bag. She took her seat beside Jenna, looking very tired. This was one of her three classes this hour. She was also in Muggle Studies and Transfiguration. "Good afternoon, Cici." Angel chimed happily. Divination was one of her favorite subjects, although she wasn't the best at it.

Gabriella came into the room happily, she had run around in the rain last night and that had been a very interesting adventure. She sat down next to Angel and Jenna, who were both looking a bit tired. Gabriella briefly wished she could carry their bags for them or do their homework, but she knew neither of them would want her to.

Cici grinned as the first three students came into the pleasantly warm classroom. "Right back at you Jenna, Angel and Gabriella." she said happily, sitting up a little straighter in her chair. Today was going to be fun. If they had extra time she might start them on fire omens.

Isaac climbed up the silvery step ladder to the Divination classroom quickly and almost soundlessly. He had just applied the charm to make his eyes a steely-gray, so he should be good until after class. He smiled at Cici, then took his seat, the table behind the one that Gabriella sat at.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella turned around to face him. "Hi Isaac," she said cheerfully. Her two cousins looked dead tired, but Gabriella and Isaac were as fresh as ever. Sometimes not sleeping could come in handy. Gabriella glanced into Isaac's eyes. They were a perfect steely gray. This was good.

[malfoy]

"Morning, gorgeous." Isaac said, grinning widely. He had gone swimming last night, it had been fun. He had also set up a few pranks here and there. He had bewitched a spot at the Slytherin table, so that when someone sat down they would fall right to the floor. Isaac also made an invisible wall in the middle of the sixth floor corridor and bewitched a boy's toilet to sing.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella grinned back at him. She loved it when he said she was gorgeous. It felt like her heart warmed slightly, though that wasn't exactly possible. "How was your night?" Gabriella asked, not saying sleep, but also not mentioning that he didn't sleep.

[malfoy]

"Wonderful," Isaac responded, putting his elbows on the table and resting his head on his hands. "Word will get around soon enough. And yours, my love?" Isaac finished, returning the inquiry. Life was great, almost everything was as it should be.

[igloogirl]

"Oh, pretty fabulous," Gabriella replied with a smile. She could easily guess that Isaac had used some of his free time to pull a few pranks. It seemed just like him to do that in the middle of the night.

[malfoy]

"That's wonderful." Isaac said, grinning toothily. He was happy this morning, life was great. But as always, the centaur and the old man were in the back of his mind, luring him away from being happy. At any given moment he might succumb to their pull...

[igloogirl]

Gabriella snapped her fingers in front of his face, seeing the all to familiar look in Isaac's eyes and knowing what he was thinking. She fought for things to say that would keep him happy. "Want to go out tonight?" she asked just as the thought came to her.

[malfoy]

Isaac acted as if he were thinking hard about Gabriella's question, then chuckled. "More than anything else, love." Isaac said, shifting his head to one hand and using the other to lay his hand atop Gabriella's. He gave a small smile as he looked into her eyes.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella grinned widely and for a moment the gold in her eyes could be seen through the chocolate brown. "Lovely," she replied, giving Isaac's hand a gentle squeeze. While she couldn't physically crush his hand anymore, she still preferred being gentle.
