{` he drops his hand as soon as his answer is given, ready to settle back into his usual silence in that particular course. he was silent in his other classes too, in terms of giving answers and the like, but this time it was a forced one. however, he was asked for his name and, not wanting to be rude, he decided to give it} Yook Sungjae {` he replies, making brief eye contact with the professor before he drops his head slightly. he is content with his participation for today’s lesson and decides to remain silent for the rest, but once more, the emptiness that follows her next question is too much when he is burning with the right answer. he glances around and sighs softly at himself for not being able to keep quiet} Seers are highly sought after, both by the ministry and other.. more darker organizations. Many Seers are pursued and persecuted, by either party, and some even disappear. It’s in the interest of their safety that they keep their gift to themself {` the words blurt out of him before he could stop them, but he tries to act casually about it so as not to draw suspicion. he can tell that the professor is already looking at him a bit too long for his liking and if it’s not for his striking good looks, then it’s most likely because she’s thinking something he would prefer her not to be thinking}

Perhaps I should hand my job over to you, Sungjae. {' she clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth, both amused and astonished from the boy's understanding of both the good and the evil entwined with seeing. Setting her wand upon her desk, she braces the edge of the wooden panel and heaves herself gently on top, a small smile gracing her lips;} Have you had any previous encounters or experiences with Seers-- or rather, are you the only one in this subject of choice, and not a passing grade? And mind you... {' her eyes narrow at the rest of the class, all of whom have either dozed off or lost the life in their eyes;} Staring into a crystal ball only will not pass you in this course. {' she huffs, blowing off some steam from the disrespectful students before gaining her composure once again. As she taps her fingernails against the oak wood of her current seat upon the desk, Kiko keeps her focus on the student with a particular aura surrounding him. How could she be inconspicuous going about learning more than a professor should inquire? Especially in front of a full class, even if they were lifeless, and undoubtedly would not be listening;} Sungjae, if you will, stay after we're through with this lesson? I'd like to give you something that may pique your interest in Divination.

{`If there was one thing that Sungjae loved when it came to academics, it was Divination. In fact, he could say with confidence that it was his favorite class, and coming from Sungjae, that meant a lot.} - {` Shuffles in with the rest of the students, keen not to draw attention to himself. He knew that true seers were rare and that many of them have mysteriously disappeared in the past. Keen not to be one of those unfortunate souls, Sungjae did his best not to draw attention to himself in class, even if it meant stifling his intuition and skill. It was a shame really, since he wasn’t all that great in any other course, so the fact that he had to dumb himself down in this one didn’t always sit well with him.} - {` looks up and listens to the new professor with interest, trying to gauge what kind of person she was simply by the first few seconds of her first lesson. he glances around when the question is asked, wanting to see if anyone was going to say anything. it was driving him crazy, staying quiet} - {` at the second question, Sungjae finally gave in, putting his hand into the air} A Seer is a witch or wizard who can see events of the future and sometimes the past as well. They are used the most by the Ministry to make prophecies.

{' she was a little discouraged with the lack of knowledge her sixth years possessed for Divination, but nonetheless, she was motivated as a professor to teach them;} A Se-- {' her sentence trails off as the student answers her, pleased gratefully from the answer he gave;} Ah, exactly that. What's your name, young man? {' smiling to herself, she flicks her wand and watches as her writing dances across the blackboard, clearing her throat;} There are many people that branch off of Divination, but those that are most powerful, if their skills are used well, consist of Seers and Oracles. The Ministry has a few of their own Seers, but unfortunately, many Seers choose to stay within the shadows and present themselves as a normal witch or wizard. Could anyone make a guess as to why they would hide their powers? {' Kiko tries not to make it obvious, but her eyes immediately flicker over to the young student who had first answered her. There was something different about him, something that set him aside from the other students, but she simply couldn't put her finger on it;}

{' Kiko scans over the roster as she sits in her office, the tip of her wand tapping at the desk to the soft tune playing from the radio in her office. She was teaching her sixth year students this morning, and found herself very interested in seeing if any had previously taken Divination, or if the school had been in need of a professor for some time now. Upon hearing the shuffling of feet outside of her door, she flicks her wand up and the door slowly opens, revealing a small class already filing into their seats;} On time... {' she notes to herself with a rather proud smile spreading across her face as she rose up from her seat and made her way out to introduce herself;} Good morning, students. This elective is known as Divination-- if any of you have previously taken and/or had any experience with the subject at hand, I'm all ears. {' staying silent momentarily, she gazes around the room, by habit her wand twirls within her fingers slowly-- silence fills the classroom once more;} No one? Can anyone tell me what the art of Divination is, then? {' curiously though, everyone still kept their lips tightly sealed, perhaps it was first class jitters?; } Ah, I understand. One last question, then. Does anyone know what Seers are capable of?

✢ a pleasant reunion ; joon&kiko

[headchangsun]

I didn’t say it was a bad thing. -with a light chuckle, he takes a few steps further into the room and wraps his arms around her tightly once they come together for a hug, squeezing her waist before playfully lifting her up so her feet dangle off the floor- Traveling, hmm? Sounds nice. -sighing wistfully, he sets her back down on her feet and rests a hand atop her head instead, ruffling her hair affectionately while he lights up in a grin- Ah, me? I started training to be a professor right after graduation, then cam back here to teach right after. I’ve more or less never left. But we all knew I wasn’t leaving here, didn’t we? -his expression softens, aware that the other kids knew he had no other home aside from Hogwarts following his parents’ deaths, and his attachment to the school has always been strong-

[profxkiko]

{' letting out a small squeak of surprise, her feet swung slowly in the air as she was lifted, playfully swatting at his chest with her nose scrunched up in disdain;} You silly thing, you gave my heart a good rush there. {' her smile warmly lit up upon hearing that her friend had stayed, knowing well enough that Hogwarts was truly his home, and now hers as well. They had a similar fate, though her father was very much alive, but she had been abandoned and found her sanctuary within these corridors. Many could say the same as them, simply because Hogwarts was so grand and welcoming, but overall, it was safe, it was a haven for those who so truly desired it;} I'm happy to be back here, it's as if I never left. {' her eyes gazed about the room with admiration, remembering back in her third year how she had been standing almost in the same spot, with the same amount of enthusiasm;} I would have taken up any position, really. But I was ecstatic to hear they were in need of a Divination professor.

headchangsun replied to your post: ...

Did you forget when we were students just how secluded and underused this tower is? -he asks with an amused tone, making his way over to her with his arms held out for a hug- How are you? Where have you been all these years, hmm? We’d lost contact..

This tower is my home, thank you very much. {' she laughs heartily as she takes a few steps forward, meeting him halfway. Her arms encircle around the base of his neck as she allows herself to sink into his forgotten-- yet still warm and soothing embrace. She smiles faintly, thinking about what she had been up to before finall securing her spot in Hogwarts as a professor;} I've been around, here and there. Lots of traveling, mmn. {' her gaze shifted, glancing around her office and remembering the days she spent up here as a student;} And what have you been up to, huh? I never thought I'd see you again, honestly.

-peeks his head into the woman's office, having made his way up to the Divination Tower just to greet the new professor personally, something he tries his best to do when he finds a moment to- Hello there! I'm Changsun, Charms Professor, let me welcome you t-- ... Kiko? -he pauses once he gets a good look at her and blinks, recognizing the other as one of his former classmates- You're teaching here now?

Damn thing... {' she mutters to herself as she begins a relentless match against her trunk, wrestling it into the closet the best she can-- she never was one for unpacking, so she put it aside for much, much later. Though, upon hearing the voice and the recognition in her name being said, Kiko quickly whips around on her heels, greeted by a familiar face, one she never thought she'd see again;} Joon?! {' her question comes out, far more upbeat and pitchy than her normal tone;} When... well, yeah! Yes, I'm teaching here now. Divination, in this dusty old tower. {' clicking her tongue, her left palm finds comfort on her hip, jutting out slightly;} Can you believe they stuck me all the way up here?

{ `/ hums lightly, nodding once more } pleasure to meet you too, mizuhara-san. { `/ blinks before she replied to your question } i was appointed the said position over the summer. before, i taught in japan and china.

{' her eyes light up, earning even more respect for the woman before her-- if possible;} Japan and China? Oh, that sounds absolutely delightful. {' stifling a small laugh behind her hand, Kiko then flashes a small smile;} I'm grateful to be working alongside you, Lucy.

[profxkiko]

{ `/ a smile appears on her face as she spots the new professor } ah, i take that you're the divination professor? { `/ tilts her head slightly as she scans you before nodding curtly } i'm lucy liu, head of ravenclaw. also teaching elemental studies.

{' with her curiosity piqued, she gazes-- hazel eyes wider than usual under the scrutiny of the head of Ravenclaw, a woman she had yet to meet. She clears her throat and nods, slowly once, then lifts her gaze to meet hers once more;} Divination, yes. I'm Kiko Mizuhara, such a pleasure to meet you, truly. If you don't mind me asking, Lucy, when did you become Head of Ravenclaw? {' smiling sincerely, Kiko tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, awaiting her response;}
