Keifer walked into the library and threw his bag down on the table, he had thought about the last class a lot and somethings just didnt make sense or add up in his brain.
He wandered over to the divination area and picked down a few books, some severely older than others. His arms were heavily laden with the big leather bound books, they were heavy but he managed to keep hold of them and not drop any.
Getting back to his table he sat down, flipping open the first book. The first section was about Aeromancy, it seemed to go in alphabetical order. He pulled out a peice of parchment and a quill and scribbled Aeromancy. He read through the passage before taking quick notes, the passages were about two pages long and all he wrote down was Aeromancy is the divination from the air and sky, particulary concentrating on could shapes, comets and other phenomena not normally visable in the heavens. He read through others aswell, taking brief notes on them. Alchemy, Alectromancy, Aleuromancy, Alomancy... All the way down to Xylomancy.
He was determined not to leave the library untill his research was finished, taking care in what he was writing and going over them a good few times. Pushing aside the book he had been working on he pulled another towards him seeing it focused on Ancient Astrology and Divination, Scrying, The history of modern radiesthesia in egypt and physiognomy.

Lisa had long given up searching about anything about Harry Potter in the Hogwarts library. Sighing, she instead wandered to the Divination section, having found nothing of interest anywhere else.
Pausing at a shelf, she noticed Keifer who was immersed in his books. Biting her lip, she wondered briefly if she should disturb him. Finally deciding on it, she walked to the table and sat down quietly, looking at one of the book covers. A small smile placed itself on her lips. Keifer had really gotten into Divination it seemed.
"I don't mean to interrupt, but I was wondering if you could recommend a good book? We all know you're the Divination genius around here." She smiled slightly.

Keifer pulled his head from his book, his fringe all matted from where he had been clamping his fingers and slight red lines appeared on his head from where he had been frowning. He looked at Lisa and recognised her from the divination class he smiled at her "Your not interrupting, just doing some research" he said looking back at the table where the books were, his ink placed infront of him and bits of parchment everywhere. "I wouldnt say im a divination genius.. As for a good book, I'd reccomend..." He ran his fingers over the spines of the books infront of him. "...This one" The book was black with silver lettering reading 'The history of modern radiesthesia in egypt and physiognomy' "A glossery of divination is also a good one... Im sure i saw that before.."

Lisa blinked at the name, before raising her eyebrows. "The history of modern rad--" She faltered and couldn't help but grin. "Just the name gives me a headache. Though, the glossary sounds like a good idea."
She smiled, glancing around the table once more, studying the books, and then looked back at Keifer. "Can you believe the year's almost over!" She laughed, a little put out. "It must be scary for you especially, you're going to be a real wizard who can use magic whenever they want."

Keifer smiled and looked at the book "Took me a while to get used to it too" he looked back down at the paper and the books, skimming through the explanations of the divinatory means.
Keifer actually couldnt believe the year was almost over, it had gone so quickly it felt like his feet hadnt touched the floor this year. "I know... I cant believe it, it only feels like a couple of weeks ago i was unpacking in my dormatory.." He thought about the concept of him being let loose on the world "I... Maybe... I'll admit im a little nerved by the whole leaving thing, i dont really want to. But im looking forward to being indipendant... Must admit, i dont know what im going to do with myself" He laughed

((hehe. Aws))
Lisa grinned, nodding. "I, myself, can't even believe I'm going into Fifth year. Absolutely terrified of O.W.Ls." She shuddered, her gazed fixed on Keifer's quill. "I know if it were me, I'd want to stay at Hogwarts as long as I could- It makes me think I might come back when I'm older and teach a class." She paused, tilting her head as she thought. "Though, my dream job is an Auror." She flushed, grinning sheepishly.
Then, taking a seat absentmindedly, she tilted her chair on its front legs and looked at the books around Keifer with amusement. "What is it that interests you about Divination? I know I took the course because I'm always impatient and want to know about my future." She laughed slightly. "Though, the class definitely turned out to be a lot more intricate than I originally thought."

Keifer laughed "Yeah... The O.W.Ls were hard, but i shouldnt really say that. I suppose if you put in the work you could whizz through it... Just dont think about it as your owls, just think of it as a normal exam. I dont really know what i want to do or where to go" He said, when she said she wanted to be an Auror the ministry flew into his head at high speed "...I dont want to work for the ministry... That i AM certain about"
"I dont know" He answered "I guess its just because of things like... The mystery of it all... The fact there are loads of different ways to divine things. Ive never really thought about it, i guess im just fascinated by the whole concept" Keifer thought for a minute.. He really didnt know why he liked it.

Lisa grinned, sitting properly on her chair. "The Ministry are a bunch of toads."
In reply to his opinion of Divination, she looked at him with a smile and shrugged. "Understandable. It just depends on your interests. I know, I only like Divination because the classes always prove to be exciting, but in the future I can't see myself using any Divination skills. You actually have taken a particular liking though, it seems." She laughed, fixing up some of the books on the desk, and straightening a few bits of parchment.
Then, pausing in her actions, she looked back at Keifer. "The unknown is thrilling, isn't it?" She smiled a bit wistfully.

Keifer nodded, "The ministry are a bunch of toads" He smiled and looked back down at the mess of parchment "Yeah, i have a liking for things like that, divination and ancient runes are the two i think are the most interesting." He smiled and looked at the books, smiling slightly as he noticed his disorgised self. He smiled and looked back at her "Its the unknown that makes our minds want to find out more... Or to prove a point anyway"

"Hmm..." Lisa said softly, listening to what he said. "Humans, though, know so little compared to so many other creatures. And always try to find out more than what's good for them." She remembered her Harry Potter searchings and felt suddenly hypocritical. Biting her lip, she decided the information wasn't available to her because she wasn't supposed to know. It didn't mean she had to like it though, of course.
"I'm not really sure what Ancient Runes is about." She coughed slightly. "I haven't been to many classes... I usually miss Anicent Runes if anything." A bit shamefully, though holding back a satisfied smirk, she added, "I'm not sure if it's because of the class or the terrifying professor."

Keifer listened to Lisa and when she spoke the first time, it reminded him partly of the debate with the professor. "Humans destroy anything they touch..." he said, his voice trailing off into thoughts. "Humans are a stupidly bred race, they beleive because theirs more of them they can defy nature... In the end... It catches up with them, i think"
"Ancient runes is probably a bit harder actually, its not easy to interpret them and read them. Its easier when your mind is clear, which to me, is why its better to study that on your own and of your own free will... Though, that professor is very scary"He laughed looking towards her.
