Rosalie walked into her classroom from the hallway. Her eyes looked around the room for anything that seemed out of place. There were two China cups and saucers at every table and two tea bags for every table. She took a deep breath trying not to let everything go to her head. The new teacher assistant to Divinations walked over to her desk and sat down her books on her desk.
Miss Moore picked up a piece of chalk and began writing on the board. Her handwriting wasn't the best but it would do for now.
Tea Leaves
Here are some examples of what tea leaves look like and what they mean. If you do not have one that looks like it's on the list ask me. I am here to help you so you pass this class. If you have any questions at all just ask me. I'll answer any questions you ask.
Anchor - Voyage, rest, a lucky sign, success in business & love
Bat - Fruitless journeys or tasks
Cannon - Good fortune
Duck - Wealthy, plenty
Eagle - Honour and riches
Fish - Riches, immigration
Goat - Sign of enemies
Hare - Sign of a long journey
Ring - Marriage[/size][/i]
I will be using this site for your Tea Leaf symbols. Please pick one from the list from the site. Ask questions about your tea leaves. Don't act like you know everything because I gave you a whole list of things.[/size]
After writing on the board she put the chalk down and rubbed her hands trying to get the chalk off of them. Rosalie looked around the empty room again and hoped everything would go according to plan. She pulled out her chair and sat down. Miss Moore opened up her plans for today and began going over them for what seemed the thirtieth time. I hope everything goes okay.
Oh, the hot water. We're going to need that. There was a huge stove on the other side of the room. There were kettles already on it ready to be heated up. It's not going to work with cold water. Rosalie picked up her wand and muttered a spell under her breath. Then a fire was lit and the water started getting heated. The cups!
She got up quickly and picked up the chalk again. The nervous teacher wrote on the chalk board:
DO NOT BREAK THE CHINA!

Hopefully that would keep kids from breaking them. Even though they could be repaired. She didn't want tea all over the carpet and on the fabric covering the tables. Rosalie put the chalk down and rubbed her hands again. Turning around she kind of wished the class would start so that she could get this over with. This are not always what they seem.
The bell rang for students to go to their classes. I hope I don't bore them at all. Rosalie moved in front of her desk and sat on it waiting for her students to being the first lesson. Hopefully they have good manners. I don't want a bunch of rude little kids in here.[/font]
