Monet wasn't entirely sure why she'd opted to add Divination to her class schedule but it had seemed like an interesting course selection to add. Of course, it was far too soon to tell what it would be like but it was proving to be interesting enough. However, she wasn't quite sure when her teacher had said that they would be paired with the oldest of the OWL students to see what a tea leaf reading could be all about. They third years would learn first hand what a reading could be like while the fifth years had to read the leaves for the younger students. Her first thought had been to ask Claude to work with her but that had quickly been dashed when he'd reminder her that he hadn't taken Divination. That had thrown a kink in her plans.

It had also caused the rest of those in her house that had taken Divination to be paired up rather quickly. As a result, she'd found herself without much of a choice in the matter. And while Mr. Bones may not have been her first choice, she could hardly object as he sat across from her with a wide smile and an apology.

Returning the smile, she shrugged slightly. "I'm sure I can make do," she answered, a faint smirk playing on her own features. She'd grown up with three older brothers so working with a boy hardly seemed daunting to her. Though, truth be told, some female interaction wouldn't have been bad.

"So.." she started, glancing at the tea cups and pot of tea, "Are we supposed to share a cup of tea first and then go from there? The instructions were a bit vague." Truly, she hadn't been paying much attention. It had only been the third day of classes, after all. She'd still been trying to take in her surroundings so it had been hard to focus solely on the lesson at hand.
