Summer Break is a COLD MISTRESS!
Jul. 25th, 2006 08:36 pmAlas, whilest the students are far distant from Hogwarts grounds, I find myself in temporary reclusion in the south of London. I will not state my address due to likelihood of student eggings. There is so little to do, yet my predictions of the future do not cease!
However, even with my massive capabilities of prediction, I could not foresee the instant box-office sell out of Bewitched Boys tickets. I am most chagrinned. I believe I will brew some tea and gaze in my sewing room.

Now students!
While conducting the first meeting of the newly regrouped 'Deulist Club' I heard many a muttered quiery which I, sad to say, was unable to answer at the time!
(For those of you temporarily blinded, forgive the method of my response!)
This club has not been regrouped because we are in any kind of danger! Merlin no! Why I regrouped this club to instill a bit of competative spirit back into you, my most treasured and valuable students, as I assure you, you are despite my previous shouting in the hall. None of you are "rat-finks".
In creating this club I am hardly a loose canon whatever that terminology is supposed to mean. I am merely a sponsoring teacher holding sessions of a club requested of me in private. Who were these students so embarassed and weak-willed that they failed to exhibit themselves publicly as the creators of said club, you ask?
Why if I were to tell you it would unsettle them and mayhap trigger an unfortunate demise! Ergo, I cannot, in good conscience, answer any questions related to the matter.
I assure you, they do exist.
Now now, good cheer and warm vibrations around. Align your chakras students and we shall move you forward into the land of defense and tournament quality dueling!

My, oh my!
Mar. 12th, 2005 12:36 pmCome now children! As Poppy says, Chipper up!
Certainly the Ministry has the whole unpleasant situation under control! Besides, we are eternally safe in Hogwarts.
You students have the benefits of the school barriers, copious magical creatures, skilled Professors and Staff, and Albus Dumbledore as your Headmaster! Nothing to worry about here, certainly!
The very thought that a death eater could penetrate Hogwarts grounds is laughable!
( Oh, just a lovely piece of gossip for the staff! )

NOTHING UNUSUAL!
Feb. 16th, 2005 06:22 pmOh my--I feel fine and not anxious at all, why would anyone say that! I AM NOT DISHEVELED AND JUMPY!? JUMPY!!! DETENTION!
Who would be worried here in the absolute safety of HOGWARTS?
Not me, that's who!

Impending DOOM!
Jan. 23rd, 2005 12:10 amI must confess, though I am relieved by it, the overpowering nothing that occupies the halls these days is disconcerting at best.
Students trudge on with only mild discontentment, grumbling passing phrases of bland mistrust to one another and periodically gossiping about something far more inconsequential than normal. Staff, teaching or otherwise, hold few meetings to discuss little, and nothingthat has been predicted happens.
It is due to this malaise that plagues us that I, Sybill Trelawney, have decided to realign the inner eyes of our students by refreshing their cosmic chakra with an excursion to the outside air! My next classes shall be held in the heart of darkness, as it were, to liven things up! The Grove of Malady in the Forbidden Forest--it is only a name, I assure you. The area is really quite pleasant--shall host my next week's worth of schooling!
Ah, the brilliance of nature.

Jan. 5th, 2005 09:46 pmHonestly! I do not often descend from the spindled, purifying heights of the North Tower to check the goings on of my unsighted colleagues, but when I do there is a certain level of innate expectation.
Not even the sight could prepare me for the onslaught of gossip and the hundreds of identical...talking...clippings pertaining to Severus and myself.
I suspect this isheavily the fault of Minerva, Mr. Fred Weasley, and Pomona going to stop immediately. I cannot imagine that this is in any way good for Severus's blood-pressure the children.
And I do believe I will have to start grading more harshly on certain students if this continues on such a scale.
On an unrelated note:
The fifty-inch parchment on the properties of seeing stones is due TOMORROW rather than next week, that is all.

Dec. 19th, 2004 08:49 pmHonestly! The amount of gossip one overhears is atrocious!
( Private )
Honestly, now I know why I don’t subscribe to the Quibbler. One thing that myself and Minerva have in common.
To my students, I say this:
( Slytherin )
( Gryffindor )
( Ravenclaw )
( Hufflepuff )
( Private to Pomona )
That is all.

I have just had the most terrible prediction! Some great saddness shall befall the Weasleys within the next few hours!
At least if Severus has anything to say about it.

Cruel Fate!
Oct. 29th, 2004 12:26 am( Dear. Sweet. Merlin. POMONA ONLY! )
Oh dear. Whatever am I to do?
Is this karma for all those pamphlets I slipped the Headmaster?

I think the younger students have marked a change in the current curriculum, the older students I still have working over Tarot. For how long, I have no idea.
Third and Fourth Year Students your assignments are thus:
Incantations and Chakra Seals the pages I handed out in class. Answer the questions on the worksheet and write a short essay detailing the usage of such things in a battle situation.
Fifth Year Students:
Chakra Seals, and Wards and Lanterns the pages you received along with Chapter 10 from your Charms text book. Everyone must present a precognitive charm upon arriving in class. Extra Credit if it has a Chakra Detection Charm.
N.E.W.T. Sixth and Seventh Year Students:
Work on Central Alignment with cards, shuffle, and play them out. If you receive a different configuration than in class, write it down and present it tomorrow.
That is all.

Tenth Card
Sep. 27th, 2004 07:17 pmPerhaps I am mulling too much over this err with the cards.
This last class I even withdrew the obviously cursed deck from my drawer and played out another hand until the tenth card. One of my beloved students pointed out that my Ten-card spread had eleven cards already and therefore incorrect. How little my students know of the cards! Modifiers cannot qualify under the ten! Such vague and distant cards, they be.
The Tenth Card is not something definite, but the end of a prediction wherein the prediction is truly formed!
Naturally I explained this to them, and were met with a room full of blank eyes!
I assigned each student a simple bit of homework in the hopes that they would perhaps learn something of divining. That assignment, for those of you sleeping or absent was thus:
One divination with tarot cards using a sixteen card spread—four rows of four cards placed down with the eyes closed. Plus an additional twenty inches of parchment detailing the spread with notes concerning the probable divine meaning.

You lookin' a' me?
Aug. 23rd, 2004 07:41 pmBah! Foolish hag, backwoods, meddling, no good hack of a witch!
Moving in on my sha..man!
I foresee a terrible fate! Bah!
Divinations isn't real magic!*hic*I hope she tumbles off a broom!
Oh my...do hope Poppyzz alright, poor ol'girl...Uh...I think I'm going to lie down.
Students: Horrible essays! All rubish! Rewrite them and have them on my desk by tomorrow...on second thought...the day after tomorrow.

Today a house-elf nearly tackled me as it tumbled down the steps. I know not which one it was, why it was falling, but I did know the vulgarities it was shouting in Elfish....but I must insist that all students be wary coming 'round the steps of the North Tower.
And, on another nonsequitor note, I must personally encourage the boycott of the Rusty Bucket andthat old mule-faced hick Peter McHaggarty who runs it. Not that I support any of this house-elf business, but rudeness of any kind from a proprietor of such business cannot be tolerated!
Oh! Lastly, the essays and personal mixtures of tea-leaves for divining purposes are due in two days, students. Do have them prepared for class--I have foreseen that many of you will not! Lackadaisical I say!

Once again!
Aug. 9th, 2004 11:57 pmDivinations has returned to the way it should be! We have convened once more in the North Tower, and are aligned with Mars--who rests in his Ninth House.
Calamity has been predicted by all of my classes! Mostly involving red jockey's and a pair of leather trousers.
These however, are not to be mistaken for literal items! They are certainly only Symbolic Manifestations of the future as gathered by the Inner Eye.
My students have been set to determine the actual meaning of these most harrowing symbols to predict what new danger approaches! Ah! If only all knew the excitement and importance of Divinations as well as they--the students!
