Elliot nodded. Finished shuffling the cards, he focused on them and said aloud, "What do you have to tell us about Mr. Zabini's mind, body, and spirit?" One did not have to ask the question aloud, but Elliot did enjoy some amount of theatricality, and it was better to teach asking the question aloud. It was still habit, even after Hogwarts.
"Miss Reid likely told you," Elliot said, "But I used to teach Divination. I found that tarot worked well for the students, especially those who did not possess the Sight themselves." Divining and Seeing were different, although Hogwarts — and most laypeople — tended to assume they were inherently coupled.
He shuffled the cards once more, having asked them for the information they sought. He fanned the cards out and held them for Mr. Zabini, maintaining eye contact rather than looking to see what they held. "Select your cards in the order they speak to you, if you will," Elliot said.
