Welcome to the ancient and mystical art of Divination... Here you will be learning to find what the future may hold. Books will not help you here, my dears... Only some of you will be able to See what lies ahead. Now I ask you to open your inner eye and gaze with me into the future.
Today you will be beginning with the art of tea leaf reading, or tasseomancy.
Please go take a teacup and find a seat at a table. Pour yourself a cup of tea. Now drink it while it is still hot. Drink until only the dregs remain. Now I must ask everyone who is right handed to switch their cup to their left hand. Swirl your dregs three times counter-clockwise and turn you cup upside down onto your saucer. Tap it three times and lift it up. Exchange cups with your partner and consult Unfogging the Future for what you see.

Please return your cups to the shelves and pack up your bags. Until we meet again, my dears...

Hello class! The first thing that you need to learn is the legend of how runes came to be. Please take out your books and read pages 5-9
To view pages better, click on them.

Now, reread the story of Odin and take notes this time, please.

If you are done, class, I need you to look this way. We don't have much more time, so I would like you to please copy out the runes on this scroll and save it, for you will need to memorize them.
That is the bell. Your
Homework is to start memorizing your runes and rewrite the story of Odin for me.



Thank you, Rune Scripts for the story of Odin.

Hello Class. Today we will be beginning our years studying vampires.
Solitary and Friendless, they walk the night in an eternal search for fresh blood. They while away the daylight hours asleep in musty crypts and mountain top castles. They never age, and they don’t fear death, for they are already dead. And if you should see one on the street, you might have no idea that you are staring at a monster.
Physical discription: Tall and sophisticated. White skin, fangs and hair on his palms. Wears a high collared cloak.
A famous vampire is Vlad Tepes, the notoriously bloody and violent ruler of Walachia in the fifteenth century. Vlad was known for impaling his enemies through the heart with wooden stakes, as well as bathing in the blood of the slain after particularly grueling battles.
To destroy vampires: Expose to direct sunlight, Behead it, cremate it, or drive a wooden stake through it’s heart.
Habits: Has to sleep on earth from homeland, cannot abide garlic, has the ability to hypnotize, and able to change into bats, wolves, or mice.
After you pack up your quills and notes, please remember that your Homework is to write a paragraph explain what a vampire looks like and to research Vlad Tepes.
Class is dismissed

Transfiguration: First Year: Week 1: Tuesday

Welcome to your first Transfiguration class, everyone. Before we start, I must warn you that I will not tolerate any nonsense from anyone. The art of Transfiguration is one that is too precise to fool around with.
The dictionary defines transfiguration as
" a) A marked change in form or appearance; a metamorphosis
or b)A change that glorifies or exalts."
You should be writting this down.
The dictionary also defines transfigure as
" a)to change in outward form or appearance; transform.
or b) to change so as to glorify or exalt."

Generally, when magical people talk about transfiguring, they are referring to a, not b.
In some cases, such as matches and needles, the transfigurations were entirely unnatural and never meant to be, while in other cases, such as transfiguring a nut to a tree, you are just speeding up to natural process.
Transfiguring living beings are yet another branch of transfiguration, but we won't get into that until later this year. In fact, you won't start transfiguring humans until your sixth year.
Then there is the branch of transfiguration that is called 'Switching Spells' and is only partial transfiguration.
Vanishing and Conjouring are obviously the art of making things vanish and creating things out of nothing. The spell to cause things to be invisible do not fall under this category, however.
The last type I ask you to learn today is the art of human-animal transformation. When I say this, I mean people who can transform themselves to aniamals and back at will. Animagi are quite rare and you will be learning about them in your third year.
Now I want you to learn the correct way for transformation. Before I even tell you the spell to transform a needle to a match, I want you to take one of these needles and follow these directions. Set the needle in front of you. Look at it and consentrate really hard on it turning into a match. This may seem impossible, and truly it is, but it is an exersise that helps you get into the correct frame of mind for when you try it with wands next class. You have ten minutes.



Ten minutes are up! Please pack up you quills and parchment and bring you needle up to me as you leave. Your Homework is to review your notes and do the mind exersise on an object of your choice. Class is dismissed.

Arithmancy: First Year: Week 1: Tuesday

Hello Class and Welcome! Today you will begin to study the ancient art of Arithmancy, which is older than 2,500 years. It is also called numerology and comes from the Greek words arithmo, meaning number and mancy, meaning prophecy. The most widely used method involves a basic chart. Please refer to the Black Board to see this chart. As you can see, there are numbers between 1 and 9 and each one has three or four letters. Please take out a piece of paper and a quill. We will figure out your personal number. First write out your name like so:

Septima Vector

Next put the corresponding numbers below:

Septima Vector
1572941 453269

Next do the same with all the vowels, then all the constanants:

eia eo
59156

sptm vctr
1724 4329

Now add each line:

Septima Vector
1+5+7+2+9+4+1+4+5+3+2+6+9 = 58

eia eo
5+9+1+5+6 = 26

sptm vctr
1+7+2+4+4+3+2+9 = 32

Now we can't have two number on each line so take to sum of the first and we will reduce it. To reduce a number, separate to numbers and add them together (5+8= 13). Reduce until the sum is a single number (1+3 =4) Do that to the other lines.

Septima Vector
1+5+7+2+9+4+1+4+5+3+2+6+9 = 58 = 13 = 4

eia eo
5+9+1+5+6 = 26 = 8

sptm vctr
1+7+2+4+4+3+2+9 = 32 = 5

To get your personal number, add all of the reduced numbers (4,8,5) as if they were a new line (4+8+5= 17). Now reduce (1+7 = 8). Thus eight is my personal number.
Now that is all for now. Please refer to the homework below and copy out the chart. Class dismissed.


Homework
