Vidya could barely remember her<em>own</em>sign half of the time...She glanced around, but Cameron was the only person in the class whose birthday she actuall knew and he was sitting at another table. So much for covert cheating.<br/><br/>A movement on the edge of her vision caught her attention and she turned her head to see Katrina enter the room. She hadn't actually spoken to the younger Ravenshire sister since their last quidditch match; with both of them playing Chaser, and for the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams respectively no less,  Vidya was probably breaking a number of unofficial school rules by not hating the girl. She grinned and waved her over, patting an empty seat at the table in the back.<br/><br/>(Following paragraph assumes Katrina comes over, if not Vidya will pout and find someone else)<br/>"Wow, you were even later than me, I'm impressed" she said with an impish grin. "So, we're suppose to be trying to guess each other's astrological sign, which we write down, in addition to whatever planet...blast what was it...ah! Whichever their governing planet is. I think I might have wandered into divination by mistake..."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br class="clear_right"/><div class="floatright">   (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42499880/Elliquiy/petra_f.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Petra Vinter (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=171859.msg8098558#msg8098558)</strong></span>, 4th year Hufflepuff<br/>Astronomy Tower, in class<br/>Tagged: Charlize, Cameron<br/><br/>The subject of her former school seemed to make the Russian girl even more skittish than she normally was, but she didn't seem to have the nerve to dodge the questions, even from someone who obviously meant no harm by them. "It's...well it was different, certainly. We learned many of the same subjects but for instance we never had a Muggle Studies class, the administration thought it was a waste of time. It's hard to compare the schools just, I mean, this is my first class," she said with a sheepish, apologetic grin. "We did earn points, but...for different things than students earn them for here, I think. Well, except for doing well in class. That was always highly rewarded, but we were also more likely to incur demerits, I think." The question of competitiveness made her wince a little, "You don't know the half of it..."<br/><br/>When the professor began to speak she perked up instantly, raising her hand ("Jupiter, Professor," if called on.) Astrology was not as strong of a field for her as actual astronomy was, but she remembered most of her lessons from divination on the subject. If nothing else, it might be a nice way to get to know some of the other students a bit better.<br/><br/>"Um...would you like to partner up, Miss Renard?" she asked with a shy smile.
