Chapter 5 - Tea Leaves, Feathers and Awkward Crushes

Hort squinted into Nicola's tea leaves.

"I think this means that you're gonna own a... liquor store?"

Nicola frowned at her Divination partner. "Give me that!" She swiped the tea cup from his hands.

Dovey leaned over the children's shoulder's examining their tea leaves closely. She stopped at Willam and Bodgen.

"Give me the tarot cards, boys." she said. Their professor had made it clear, that they would only be using tea leaves today.

The two boys slowly looked up at their teacher. Then down at their tarot cards in hand. Then at each other, and sorrowfully handed them over.

Agatha looked into Kiko's cup. She had read a lot about tea leaves in her Divination textbook, but she was more interested in crystal balls.

"Does it say anything about my love life?" Kiko asked, glancing over at the back of Tristan's head.

Agatha spotted three lines on the bottom of the cup.

"I see change," she said.

Kiko leaned forward to try and see into the cup herself. "Good change?"

Agatha glanced up. "Yes."

She looked around in the cup, rotating it to see all the leaves from differences angles. Her eyes stopped on a long shape that looked like a sword.

She swallowed. Heartbreak.

"Uh... it says you'll find your true love," Agatha said. She knew lying was wrong but, telling Kiko she'd get her heart broken would be worse. When Kiko did get her heart broken, Agatha would be there as a shoulder to cry on.

"Does it say who it is?" Kiko pressed.

Agatha shook her head. She swirled the dregs, so there would be no evidence of her white lies.

Kiko nodded and picked up Agatha's cup.

"Alrighty..." she said. She looked from the cup to her text book a few times. "It says you're gonna hurt your leg." She looked around the page of the book. "But you're gonna be happy about it."

Agatha didn't know how she could be happy about hurting her leg.

Kiko gasped. "I see love!"

Agatha frowned. "Give me that!" She took the cup from Kiko and almost dropped it in disbelief, when she was greeted with a big love heart. She slowly looked up at Kiko, who was over the moon.

"We can have a double wedding!" She giggled.

Agatha rolled her eyes and swirled the dregs, so no one would ever see the horrific sight.

If she would in fact be falling in love, the question was: who with?

Tedros kept his eyes on Professor Lukas, and pretended not to notice Sophie scribbling "Mrs Sophie Pendragon" all over in her book, with a pink fluffy quill.

"One of a wizards most rudimentary skills is levitation," he began. "Do you all have your feathers?"

Beatrix pretentiously waved her feather.

"Now, the key to this charm is the wrist movement," he held up his wand. "The swish and flick," he moved his wrist as he said it. "Everyone," he said, raising his hands for them to join him.

Tedros picked up his wand with the rest of the group.

Swish and flick.
