In Divinations Class, Professor
McGonagal began with a brief lecture on the various ways
of fortune-telling: runes, tea leaves, tarot cards, palm
reading, and of course the crystal ball.
She then had the students complete
one of the tasks in the Divinations Section of their workbooks,
she had the students bring their completed task up to
her desk to check their answers, she read their fortunes
in the crystal ball before they returned to their seats.
See the fortunes below for some ideas...
A pretty blonde girl will fly with
monkey's in the early dawn after a full moon's night.
An energetic boy will dance with
baboons wearing nothing but a grass skirt and a top hat.
The youngest boy will solve scientific
jungle mysteries with an ancient, wrinkled man.
A boy with eyes of blue finds passage
to outerspace in a man-made rocket made of bubble gum
and fireflies.
A girl with jeweled teeth will
sing in a rock band, wearing glitter on her eyes, sparkles
on her fingers and no shoes on her feet.
A young boy with dark eyes will
travel to an orange desert on horseback and be chased
by snakes and indians only to rope them all in with a
lasso of licorice.
A freckled sweet girl has the time
of her life swimming in a warm vat of melted chocolate
and cooling off in a mist of lavender rain.
The most mischievious boy will
fall into a purple pool of jello to swim with magic dragons
and creepy lizards.
The youngest girl is the luckiest
of all. She's taken on a magic carpet ride with a gypsy
woman to the pyramids of Egypt, they dance by daylight
with the hump-backed camels and dine by twilight amongst
the singing elephants.
The oldest in the crowd is taken
deep beneath the sea to find a treasure of gold and jewels...
instead they find shrunken heads and electic eels with
eyes of diamonds and teeth of white ivory which have to
be removed with their toenails.
The funniest person will stand
on their hands wearing a ballerina's skirt and do an upside-down
funky chicken dance in front of all his friends.
After finishing this class, the
students received a crystal amulet necklace for their
party bag.
