The door to the divinations classroom opened swiftly and silently as the teacher swept into the room. He was wearing long white robes and had glasses that looked almost constantly like they were about to fall off. He had only just made it in time before his first class to clean up the classroom and make it presentable.
With a flick of his wrist his wand was in his hand. Surveying the classroom, he aimed his wand at the uneven rows of desks, causing them to straighten themselves into nice and orderly lines, all facing towards his desk at the front of the room.
There were objects lying all over the place, ranging from teacups to maps of constelations. Another wave of his wand caused the various assortment of objects strewn all over to fly about and find themselves appropriate places on shelves or in the storage closet that extended from the back of this room.
Once the classroom was to his satisfaction, Professor Azrael slumped into the chair behind his desk, not in the least eager to start class. As it was, he had not assigned any textbooks, having always hated them himself and considering himself to be above such petty methods of teaching what could be taught by himself.

Maarten was the first one to enter the room, had having a class very close to this. As he entered the room he raised an eyebrow at his professor’s stressful look and sat down in the second row from his desk. Then, having no book for this class, kicked his sack under his chair. Maarten folded his hand s on his desk waiting for the class to start, and staring at Professor Azrael so he wouldn’t miss any more amusing facial gestures from him.

For once, Forgoil had gotten to class before the great flood of students arrived. Walking quickly through the door as if fearing that he would be stampeded over; he noticed that the teacher seemed rather downcast about something, but he didn't intend to go any further with that. He took a seat near the front of the class, laid out his quill, ink and parchment while waiting for the other students to arrive. He also noticed that the professor hadn't taken out any books; perhaps he had a different teaching style or and memorized the lessons themselves. Whatever the case, Forgoil was glad that he didn't have another textbook to carry around with him. Pulling out a book from his briefcase that he used to carry his class materials, Forgoil silently read his novel as he waited for class to begin.

Persephone entered divination. Her long silvery hair swirled around her body as she entered and sighed. The teacher didn't look to be in the best of moods and that worried her. But at least he hadn't assigned any textbooks. That had to have been a plus. She looked around her trying to see if she knew the two other students in the room and found that she knew one of them. She smiled and took a seat by Forgoil and took out a parchment and quill, but didn't bother her friend because he was reading.

Rezna slowly pushed open the door and entered the classroom. This was going to be her first class in Magic Horizons, and although she never thought highly of divination, she was happy to be there. As she scanned the room, she was surprised to find that there were only three students inside.
A rye smile lit up her face. She had gotten lost on her way here twice and had to ask numerous students for directions until she finally found the right room. Rezna had expected that she'd be late, but luckily that wasn't the case.
Slowly, she made her way to the back corner of the room and sat down. She needed for the class: ink, parchment, and quill, since she was never informed of any assigned textbook. Then she scanned the room and the various objects it held as well as the backs of the three people that sat before her.

Summer walked into the classroom giving a sweet smile to the professor seeing he was a bit relaxed and was waiting for his class to begin. She walked over to a random desk at the front in the third row. She sat down on the rather comfy seat and began bringing out her supplies: a quill, parchment, and a small bottle of ink. She also noticed in her bag that there was no need a book for this subject and smiled again and shrugged. 'At least no back pains from carrying many anyways.' She thought to herself quietly.
She sat there with her elbow onto the desk and her chin gently in the palm of her hand as she waited patiently for the class to begin.

Aidana Hawkins sighed as she entered the classroom. This was the first class she was early to, and it just had to be this subject didn't it? Divination wasn't her best subject, neither was it her worst. She just found it increasingly boring. Seeing didn't come to her easily, as she had not been born to that gift. And why did they need to learn how to see the future anyway? As if it could help them with the present. Whatever vision anyone got was always the outcome, not the journey.
Looking around the room, she saw that everything was in perfect shape. Somehow, with Professor Azrael teaching, she had expected things to be a bit more relaxed, but it didn't seem so. She saw that five students had already arrived, and she knew only a few. Forgoil looked deeply absorbed in his book, and he already had another girl sitting by him. So, she decided to join Rezna at the back of the room. Maybe this way, she could hide behind her book. To her displeasure, she didn't seem to find one around.
" Hey!" she said flashing Rezna a quick smile before sitting down next to her. Turning slightly, she looked longingly out the window. There was a Quidditch match against Hufflepuff later that day and she had been recruited as a Chaser. So, why was she shut up here now? She would have loved to be outside flying, feeling the wind in her hair. But no, she was here studying Divination. Then she perked up, maybe she would see who won the match. Or better, see how she could make Gryffindor win the match...

Rezna looked up as Aidana sat down next to her.
"Hey yourself," she replied and followed the other's gaze outside. Guessing the reason, since Rezna couldn't stop hearing it disscussed everywhere, she added, "Quidditch, right? Well let's just hope that there will be no hard feelings about the results. I mean, it will be had enough to support my team as well as to support my friends on the opposing one."

Ariadne walked into class and was suprised to see that the room wasnt even half full. Instantly she found her twin and rushed to take the seat next to her. "Hi Sephe, Hi boy next to Sephe, said Ariadne in a cheerfull way. She was excited because Divination was her favorite class and the first class of the day.

Haycee walked nervously in to the classroom. This would be her first class at Magical Horizons, and she wanted it to go well. The fact that she barely knew anyone didn't help matters, and she finally decided to sit alone, near the back of the room. Lonely and nervous, Haycee gave a soft sigh and waited for the class to begin, wondering what was in store for her.

Persephone smiled as she saw her twin and Haycee come in. Ari sat next to her, which was to be expected, but she was amazed that Haycee had walked to the back of the class. She frowned at that and poked Forgoil. She really didn't want to interrupt him while he was reading, but then again she wanted to talk to someone. Yea, she had her twin beside her, but she wanted to introduce the two first before she threw Ari to the wolves, not that Forgoil was a bad person, but Ari was easily intimadated by people she didn't know.
"Forgoil, this is my twin, Ariadne. AKA, Ari." She then took out a piece of paper wrote quickly on it and slid it across the floor to Haycee. She wrote on it: Hey, why don't you come and sit up here. Cheers, Persephone.
She turned back towards her twin and friend and smiled at them both.

Ari smiled at the guy sitting on the opposite side of Sephe. Ari's thougts drifted back to the upcoming Quidditch match. " Sephe, How did I let you talk me into trying out for the team? "Glaring at Sephe since she was the Seeker on the Ravenclaw team. She grumbled under her breath and thought that her twin had gotten her drift. Yea, Persephone had always loved Quidditch and was a lot better at taking the pressure then she was. Persephone loved sports, and loved winning even more, and Ari...well...Ari did love winning but she didn't like how all the eyes in the stadium would be focused on her. She sighed again and thought about everything. She could only think about on brihgt spot she had found. At least they'll be paying attention to the whole team, and I'm not going out there alone. If I was...that would be a different story. I just neeed to keep telling myself I can do this..because I can...and I have She regained confidence during her class, but she couldn't hep but keep looking out the window.

Haycee was lost in a daydream when she saw a piece of paper come towards her. She picked it up, read it, and then hesitated. Persephone...wasn't she the one talking about pranking teachers? Haycee remembered, with a frown on her face. Haycee certainly didn't want to do anything to get herself in trouble, especially during her first class! Haycee wondered if Persephone had any pranks planned for this particular teacher. But wait, this is Divination...didn't she say that Astrology was the one she liked to prank? Haycee was pretty sure that's what she had said. I'm amazed that she still wants to associate with me, Haycee thought I was sure she thought I was a complete loser after that whole prank discussion. Happy that it seemed that Persephone still wanted to be friends with her, Haycee gathered her things and walked over to where Persephone was sitting. "Uh, where should I sit?" Haycee asked, seeing that there were already a few people sitting around Persephone.

Persephone shrugged.
"You can sit behind directly or diagnolly. I don't mind. I just don't want you sitting down there all by yourself when you have friends up here." She smiled brightly and turned towards the other two people around her.
She looked towards her twin. "This is Ariadne. You can call her Ari, and this is Forgoil," she said pointing at Forgoil. She hoped that Haycee liked Forgoil and Ari.

"OK", Haycee said as she smiled and took the seat behind Persephone. "Hi Ari. Hi Forgoil." Haycee greeted the two people Persephone had introduced her to. "Are you two from Ravenclaw too?" Haycee asked.
