You walk in the door and a satin purple sheet covers the floor. There are no chairs, or desks, which would lead one to believe the professor prefers her students sitting on the floor. Crystal balls are aligned in rows of shelves to the left and there are stacks of tarot cards in the far right corner. There are many veils of silk and satin draping the ceiling and the right side of the room has a small woodburning stove, set at a low level with a large turkish tea pot on it. There is a table that wraps around the stove on which pretty tea cups and their matching saucers are displayed. A scent of roses and sage filled the room. (Not a picture of the room but something to help your imagination)

Professor Lupa walked into her classroom and took in the aroma. With her wand, she poured herself a cup of tea and drank it fast. She looked into her cup to the tea leaves, and smiled. She knew her class was going to go well. She scurgified her cup and placed it back on the table. She pointed her wand to the Board and the words "Tarot Cards" appeared on it.
She walked to the front of the class, crossed her legs and sat on the sheet that covered the foor. She closed her eyes as her legs wrapped themselves into the yoga lotus position. With her wand in hand, she began to levitate and waited there patiently for the students to file in.[/b]

Adrienne entered the room, wondering why again she had chosen to take Divination. She knew she had no skill in the area, but figured there was no way the class could give out 5 page essays....so she signed up. She sat on the floor in the back of the room and tried to stay as unnoticed as possible.[/color]

Maegan entered the room, looking around skeptically. She thought this class was complete BS, but it seemed like it would be an easy A. It couldn't be that hard. It was just making up what she felt she saw in the future. She could easily say 'You will die in seven days' to her teacher and that could get her a passing grade. She took a seat in the back, preparing to sleep throughout the period. Zephyr entered the room, taking a seat around the middle of the room. He looked around to only see a few others students were there and he hoped that was all that would arrive. The smaller the class, the better. The less idiots he was forced to put up with. Immediatly upon sitting, he slipped of his blue canvas heels (Picture) Then he reached into his messenger bag (one which was surprisingly masculine) and pulled out a plain notebook with a fuzzy bright pink pen with Cinderella on the top. He was now ready for the class to begin.

Brann walked in and sat next to Zephyr, staring at him, waiting to catch his gaze. But as he didn't, he took out quill and parchment and scribbled something on a note in a special ink that dissapears once the recepient reads it:My blood is Red, Guess yours is too, Watch your back, little girl, I'll be coming to rape you. Brann tapped it and it flew over to Zephyr's desk. He then sat back and watched the Professor"Alright class," she smiled looking at the students. "My name is Professor Alessia Lupa, I have been given the wonderful task of teaching you the wonderous art of Divination. I was hoping that more students would attend this class... But the best are here, aren't you..."
She stood, smiled and asked "Who knows what Tarot Cards are?" [/b][/color]

Zephyr watched as a note flew onto his desk and was about to open it when his professor started speaking. He looked up for a moment, listening to her quick introduction and then looked back to the note. He opened it and read it over quickly. The urge to laugh came over him upon finishing the note. Then he picked up his quill and developed a response.
I'm just a little bit confused Maybe you're just a bit slow. I happen to want you to rape me, Just so you know.
He charmed the paper to fly back onto Branns desk and turned back to look at the teacher. Maegan raised her hand, deciding to try and be active, at least for the first day. She said, "Tarrot cards are cards used to the tell the past, present or future. Or something like that."

Brann looked at the paper flying to him. He opened it and laughed silently, shaking his head, and began writing another note.
"Correct!" Alessia said to Maegan, she used her wand and shot a star over Maegan's head. "Mr. Gnister, Mr. Masters, if I see another piece of paper flying between you two you are both serving detention with me, and believe me I can give professor Masters a run for her money. Hand it over." She said holding her hand out to Brann.
Brann lifted the parchment as to give it to her, and turned it into ash. "Oops..." He said with a smirk, "clumbsy me..."
Alessia was not amused. "Now..." she started up again "I'm giving you each a deck of cards," she started passing around decks. There are two types of cards, the Major Arcana and the Minor, can anyone tell me what the difference between the two is?"[/b]

Adrienne looked up. "There are 56 cards in the Minor Arcana and 16 in the Major Arcana....or I think. I might just be completely rambling pointlessly and killing my grade from stupidity."[/color]

Alessia smiled and said "Not exactly..." she stood and walked through the desks eyeing Zephyr and Brann carefully.
Brann smiled at her and gave her a salute with his left hand
"Each card of the Major Arcana depicts a scene with symbolic elements." She continued by ignoring him. "In many decks, each has a roman number numerals and a name, though not all decks have both, and some have only a picture. The earliest decks bore unnamed and unnumbered pictures, However, one of the most common set of names and numbers is as follows" She pointed her wand toward the black board which erased itself and then an orchid piece of chalk wrote:
0 - The Fool I - The Magician or Juggler II - The High Priestess or Popess III - The Empress IV - The Emperor V - The Hierophant or Pope VI - The Lovers VII - The Chariot VIII - Justice IX - The Hermit X - Wheel of Fortune XI - Strength XII - The Hanged Man XIII - Death XIV - Temperance XV - The Devil XVI - The Tower XVII - The Star XVIII - The Moon XIX - The Sun XX - Judgement XXI - The World
She pointed her wand over Adrienne's desk and shot another Star above her, half the size of Meagan's. "However, you are correct on the 56 Minor Arcana, which are very similar to the 52 spanish cards. Does anyone know the four suits?"[/b]

Adrienne was instantly distracted from what was happening in the class by trying to figure a way to hex the star down. Just the fact of it up there was irritating to her.... As soon as she thought Alessia was turned away she shot a violent white-heated flame up at it.[/color]

"Imperturbable Charm, Miss Alste." She told Adrienne. "Each star contains an object you crave, the bigger the star, the better the object." Surveying the star above Adrienne she said "Yours may contain a piece of candy you enjoy. Mr. Masters, if he had one your size, might contain a new shade of pink nailpolish. Ms. Ryder on the other hand may contain a purse, or new shoes... Mr. Gnister, if he had one,..." She watched the boy, but still couldn't read him, "well... you get the point. Answer correctly and the star will grow." She then repeated herself. "What are the four suits of the minor arcana?"

"I'm not particularly fond of candy," Adrienne muttered then her voice picked up so the teacher could hear, "The four sets...they would be the wands, coins, cups, and swords, wouldn't they? And can't you use different names, as well?"[/color]

Maegan looked up at the star and laughed silently. It was like something kindergarten teachers would do and here Professor Lupa was doing it for teenagers. She secretly hoped hers contained drugs. She kind of doubted it would, though. Maegan raised her hand to answer the next question. Maegan decided to answer Adrienne's question, since she actually knew the answer.
"Yeah, they can be. Wands are frequently called staves, cups are called chalices and coins are called pentacles. Or at least I think they are," Maegan said.
Zephyr found the lesson beginning to grow dull and started to lose interest in it. He stared off into space, wishing that Xander was there for him to stare at.

"Very good. Wands can also be called batons." She flourished her wand and both Adrienne's and Meagan's grew in size and now were equally large. She looked at Meagan sensing her feelings and dismissed it. She smiled and with another wave of her wand she conjured a tarot card
"Who can tell me what this card means?"[/b]

Adrienne shrugged. "Depends on how you interpret it...it could be literal, or it could just mean a great change is coming...or something of that nature."[/color]

"And Ms. Alste, how would you interpret it, if I pulled it to signify the immediate future for this class?" Alessia asked looking at the card. [/b]

Adrienne smirked. "If I weren't a part of this class, I'd hope for death, but," she continued, quickening her voice before she could be yelled at, "I'd suppose a sudden change. Not that death can't fit under that..."[/color]

"I vote that it's foretelling Adrienne's sudden death by pen cap," Maegan said. With that, she picked up her pen cap and threw it was Adrienne's head.

Alessia rolled her eyes and poited her wand at the flying pen cap disintergrating it. "Ms. Rayder, detention, with me, everynight this week." She smiled and removed the star from above Maegan. "Drugs?" she said a little taken aback... "You desidered drugs? Well it's a good think you don't get the star then." She turned to the rest of the class. "I want four inches of parchment on what you think this card means, and then how it came true. Class dismissed." She burst the star above Adrienne, and a package dropped on her desk.
Brann leaned over to Adrienne and said "What'd ya get?"[/color]

"Too bad," Adrienne said. "She could've shared," she caught sight of Professor Lupa and held up her hands. "Joking, of course." She tore open the package carefully, looked at the cover, then dropped it in her bag. "A book," she answered Brann, and walked out of the class.[/color]
