While you lot have been talking about goats and water rats, I've been working on getting in advance classes. If it pays off, I'll be in Dueling and Pre-Auror studies before the I'm allowed. Those classes are much better than rubbish like Divination.

What's wrong with Divination? It's a perfectly valid form of magic.

I don't put much faith in how accurate it is.

That's a very common misconception. Divination really isn't about faith, when you think about it. It has more to do with analysis and interpretation.

If I want to analysis things, I'll stick with Potions class.

You only find Divination rubbish because you have no skills in it whatsoever.
Maybe you should watch your tongue before you start talking bad about a branch of magic you have no knowledge of. It makes you sound and look a little more intelligent instead of sounding like a scorned child who couldn't make top marks because she has no talent in that specific subject.

I put more stock in being able to shoot straight than predict things.

You can do both. Ah, wait. I suppose, you in specific can't.
I can shoot perfectly fine and I can still make fairly good predictions. It is quite possible, believe it or not.

We're not even in the same year, so how would you even know what's possible for me? See it in some tea leaves?

There's nothing particular wrong with Divination, but I'm not one to tell others how to feel.

It's one of those classes that's not high on my list of things to take. I'd practice it as a hobby if I was wanting to know about it.

I'm not looking to enter a career in Divination. It doesn't create a lot of opportunities. It's more of a personal interest.

It's like Muggles who go to school for ridiculous subjects and get no jobs.

What? How did you get into the advanced class?

I talked to the Professors like an adult. You'll have to too if you want to take them this year.

That sounds like a lotta work.

You don't have to ask them like an adult. You could probably get away with being yourself.

There is nothing wrong with Divination, it's a fascinating topic with many insights into the soul and a person's ability to influence themselves and the people around them.

It's not for me, I'm sure loads of people like it since it's a class.

Actually, I suspect the bulk of my classmates take it because it's "easy." They don't even try, they just make things up while giggling over their textbooks.

That's the worst reason to take a class.

:33 < oooh
:33 < those classes certainly sound like fun
:33 < what do you have to do to get in them?
:33 < anything specific? :??

You have to prove that you're taking Defense Against the Dart Arts seriously.

While you were busy asking to be put into advanced classes, I was skipping years so that I would be allowed no questions asked.

Hope to see you in Duelling!

Have fun with OWL's.

Oh I will. It's just a shame that I can't sit those and the 6th year exams at the same time.
