It's been a completely depressing week so far! Honestly, you'd think we had the sour weather inside the castle! Anyway, I think something should be done to remedy that fact! Hogmeade weekend is coming up very soon, but clearly not soon enough! Though I am very much looking forward to spending time with a certain friend.

so, what shall we do? A party is an obvious one, but last minute ones can be so cliché, so that's out, oh! What about a Seance? it's been ages since we did something proper in Divination club and that would be proper wicked.

	We really have not done much there this year, you're right. I agree that we should do more.... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ooh, I'd like that, too. We should do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We should! The common room? I'm going to try and find the books in the library and get the supplies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A seance? Really? Surely you know that they're a load of bunk. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	How can you say that when you see ghosts around you every single day? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilypudlin 2013-06-12 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	If they had anything to say, surely they would just appear and say it. They wouldn't waste their time moving a pointer around a board, spelling it out one letter at a time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's not a seance. That's a silly Muggle louigi board, completely different things. Seances summon spirits, and given that the ghost might not be in the castle, or that it might have moved on, a seance is a good way to contact them ~~in theory~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean a ouija board? I thought only mediums could call spirits? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	purist_ 2013-06-12 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	Probably, it's still a silly board game. They can, but in Divinations we cover seances, and it's a difficult art, but it can be learned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I still don't think you should mess about with that sort of stuff, but I suppose it doesn't matter what I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is rather difficult, Melinda is correct. Any bit of divination can be very complex and may be misinterpreted or misunderstood, either by the seer or the recipient. It's inexact, and honestly I don't even think I could bring up a spirit with my gifts, so I doubt that it will work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A completely understandable feeling. (Reply to this) (Parent)
