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.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[seeringlight]

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.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[seeringlight]

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.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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?

[doctorkishitani]

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.

[seeringlight]

The fact you already dismiss the subject before even fully immersing yourself into it is a pretty obvious sign.

[couldbehealer]

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

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Right, well I'm a third year and the class only just became available to me this year and it didn't sell me on signing up. You can have all the fun you want with it.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

What? How did you get into the advanced class?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[couldbehealer]

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.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

That sounds like a lotta work.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[doctorkishitani]

I'm quite fond of potions as well, but Divination is a very different kind of analysis.

[eighttimeshandy]

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.

[seeringlight]

You should consider not making such hasty opinions just because you are not interested in it. You're free to dislike a subject, but calling it names is juvenile.
And I am.

[eighttimeshandy]

Shinra, if I could give points, I would give you all of them.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

It's too open for interpretation for my liking.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

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

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Right, I'll think about that.
