Professor Nadya entered the Divinition room and looked around. She was excited to be teaching her first class at Hogwarts. It was important for her to make a good first impression, but also to enlighten the minds of her students.
First, she had to get the right atmosphere for divination. The best way to do that is to block all real sunlight. Nadya believed that too much light interfered with the spirits. With a flick of her wand, the curtains slid shut.
"Much better," she whispered to herself. She sat down at her desk and pulled out her deck of tarot cards, deciding to do her own fortune regarding how class would go today.

October clambered up through the trapdoor blinking as her eyes adjusted to the lack of light, a strong over powering smell was drifting lazily around the room it captured octobers attention for a few moments before she noticed that she was the first to arrive, relieved that she wouldn't have to stand infront of the class alone she smiled at Professor Nadya, a tall pretty woman who seemed to have an air of elegance about her. "hello professor, i hope you don't mind me being so early" she said brightly, taking a seat on a comfortable looking armchair

Professor Nadya smiled at the first of her students to enter her class.
"Velcome to Divination..." Professor Nadya began, she drew a card from her deck of tarot cards and then after glancing at it, she looked back up at October. "October, yes? This is your first year asvell?" she continued.

"Yes professor" October replied, looking slightly suprised that she didn't have to introduce herself, though she should have expected this from a divination teacher. Professor Nadya seemed friendly, and at least she had not greeted her with a prochecy of some tragic accident like the former divination teacher would have she thought, chuckling to herself as she remembered her sister telling her how completely mad Professor Trawlaney had been.

Evvie and Illyanna walked into the Divination class, seeing that they were close to the last ones to make it. Evvie followed Illyanna to a couple of seats. The only thoughts in Evvie's mind was how dark and depressing the room was. Evvie felt like she was buried alive in this atmosphere.
She groaned silently as she sat down in her chair. She kept telling herself that it was only for one class and then she'd be free to enjoy the sunlight again.

Luna walked in and once she saw October she smiled and waved. She had heard that October would be attending Hogwarts this year, but still, it was a nice surprise to see her in this class.
Luna knew that she and October were some how related, and they definately shared some of the same interests. Perhaps this year would be better than the previous years. Already she had more friends than she had in basically her whole life.

Professor Nadya nodded at October when she answered her. Nadya then began greeting the other students as they entered the class. With each student that Nadya greeted, she pulled a tarot card from somewhere in the deck and placed it to the side.
She saw that some of the students had noticed that she had been doing this and smiled. She was sure that they were curious as to the reason why she was doing this. Soon they would find out. What would be a better way to start a divination class than leading off with a deck of tarot cards?
Satisfied that all the students were now sitting down she stood up and grinned at all of them. "Hello and Velcome to Divination. This is what I like to call the more spiritual side to magic, yes?" She looked around. She could tell that atleast one student (the very short pink haired girl) was not enjoying herself, this was to be expected.
"I'm sure that all of you have heard by now, My name is Professor Nadya and this is my first year teaching. So ve vill be learning together, yes?" She continued.
She took out her wand, "I'm sure that you all noticed that there is barely any light in this class. This is because the best light to use vhen dealing vith this type of magic is candle light." With that said, she preformed a spell and candles flew from the back of the class and landed on each person's table. With a flick of her wand, all the candles lit.
"Now, isn't that better?" She asked, smiling.

Three girls entered the class room the first two October only vaguely recognised from seeing around hogwarts, she noticed the smaller pink haired girl was looking miserably round the dark room, October hated seeing others upset and smiled at her in an attempt to cheer her up.
The third girl, Luna, drifted into the classroom dreamily, after spotting October she smiled and waved. Delighted at seeing Luna, October smiled and waved back, gesturing for her to sit on the table next to hers.
Professor Ndya then addressed the class, and gave each table a candle, October watched the flame flicker and dance and had to shake her self a little keep her concentration from slipping as Professor Ndya continued her talk to the class

Professor Nadya walked over to her desk and began tracing the tarot cards that she had set aside. She looked at all the students that were now watching her. She made sure to make eye contact with the short pink haired girl, she knew this was not the girl's favorite class.. and thought that perhaps one day, they would take the class outside so that she'd feel more at home.
"I am avare that there are many other new teachers this year at Hogvarts, and I am sure that they have asked you each to introduce yourself and tell something interesting about yourself, yes? Vell, ve vill dare to be different in this class. Instead of having you introduce yourselves and vhatnot, I vill be doing it for you. Incase any of you noticed, as I was greeting you all, I vas also drawing a card from my tarot deck. I vill be using the card I picked vhen I spoke your name to get to know you better. So vho wants to be first?" She asked, and waited for a response.

Evvie pulled her knees up into the comfy arm chair that was much too big for her small body. She wrapped her arms around her knees. As Professor Nadya was speaking, Evvie noticed that her tone of voice was smoothly changing rhythem.. it was a very soothing tone. No doubt a technique to help calm and also to entice the students so that they would be more likely to pay close attention to what Professor Nadya was saying.
When Professor Nadya made eye contact with Evvie, Evvie smiled at her. Evvie knew that Professor Nadya was probably a good teacher, it wasn't her fault that Evvie was very uncomfortable. She decided that she really was going to try her best to pay attention.
As if to prove to herself that she was actually willing to give the class a try, she raised her hand to be first for Professor Nadya's little card reading.

Professor Nadya smiled when she saw Evvie's hand go up to volunteer to be the first to have her card read. Nadya picked up the card that she had drawn when Evvie had entered the class. She glanced at it and couldn't help but widen her smile. She had a feeling that this card fit Evvie perfectly.
Professor Nadya turned the card around so that the class could see it.
"This card is called The Page of Wands. It represents a person who always wants to spend their time outside playing. You are very happy and fun loving. You hate having to sit still and have a very hard time concentrating on things. Am I close?" Nadya questioned.
Instead of responding, Evvie's jaw dropped. This was the only answer that Nadya needed.
"Very vell then, Vho vill be next?" She questioned.

Professor Ndya finished reading Evvie's tratot card, October raised her eyebrows in suprise, wow that was pretty accurate she thought and glanced over at Evvie who's jaw seemed to have dropped in suprise without her realisng. "Vho vill be next?" Professor Ndya asked the class, she seemed pleased by Evvie's reacion, Eager, yet slightly apprehensively October raised her hand.

Professor Nadya smiled reassuringly at October when she raised her hand in a slightly shy manner. Nadya picked up the card she had drawn when October had entered the room. She then turned it around so that the class could see it, just as she had done for Evvie's card.
"October, your card vas the High Priestess. This card shows that you enjoy spending time surrounded by books, perhaps even more than being vith people. It also shows that you are a fountain of knowledge.. but some vould perhaps think you are a bit strange. However, you are as caring for others as you are brilliant." Professor Nadya informed, telling the class what this card represented.

Illyanna walked side by side with Evvie, and walked over to Luna, sitting beside her. The teacher seemed marvelous, and Illyanna smiled up at her. When she began reading tarot cards, Illyanna became excited. Sure, she wasn't really always a fan for Divination, but this was a fun way to start out class. She peered over at a new girl, whom Proffesor Nadya had just introduced as October. Illyanna really wanted to go next, so after October's turn was done, she raised her hand slowly, but surely.

October beamed at Professor Ndya, she hoped it was as accurate as evvie's had been, though she wouldnt call herself brilliant she thought modestly. Luna smiled at her, already October was feeling more comfortable and happier. She noticed the pretty taller girl who had walked in with evvie had then raised her hand and waited excitedly Professor Ndya to read out her tarot card...
