Though Lavender was known to have her head in the clouds – because how else can someone be fooled by Ron Weasley’s intentions the year prior? – it was new for her to be this clumsy. If only she had heeded Draco Malfoy’s words to watch where she was going; her bag hooked onto an oddly angled sword of a statue, snapping the strap and letting all of her things inside clatter. The bag opened, revealing a storm of scribbled notes on tea leaf readings, a small tablecloth, and a crystal ball that tipped ever so slightly in the wrong direction.

Lavender was frantically shoving her school supplies back into her bag; if she wasn’t quick enough, Crabbe or Goyle would be just around the corner looking for an easy target. She cursed herself for not avoiding the statue, since it’s been nearly seven years and everyone had always known to stay at least half a meter from anything that had a point or looked like it could move.

The crystal ball rolled off in the opposite direction from where she was going, and Lavender hissed. Everything else was in order enough that she was sure she could dig out her notes and sketches for Divination later that day, even if most of it was crumpled and smudged back into her bag with the now-useless strap. Her wand was somewhere at the bottom of the bag, but she’d rather deal with just carrying everything across the castle for now instead of actually repairing anything haphazardly.

Since when had it been a good idea to carry that crystal ball around? Lavender didn’t use it as often as she was really supposed to; all of her effort had been put into projecting anyway and it wasn’t like she hadn’t seen anything in a while except her own reflection against the smoke. She quickly lifted herself back on her feet, dragging the bag with her as she chased the crystal ball along the wide passageway.

[ Tracey Davis | Situation, Action, Outcome ]

A reading for @muddysnakedavis. Card interpretations are from the Golden Thread Tarot app.

[ Situation | Knight of Wands, reversed ] Anger, Impulsiveness, Recklessness. When you are filled with boundless energy, it can be difficult to run into obstacles that delay your progress forward. Because of the passion that the card represents, the emotion here is one of anger. Looking around for options, you are tempted to act without regard for consequences.  

[ Action | Six of Pentacles, reversed ] Selfishness, Stinginess, Debt. Others find themselves in a time of need, but there is unwillingness to led support to those that need it the most. Alternatively, perhaps you have been giving, but reflect on your intentions for why you do so. What are you trying to gain by such actions?

[ Outcome | Nine of Pentacles, reversed ] Mistakes, Obsession with Work, Setbacks. Though perhaps you spent much of your energies working hard, you might find yourself in a position where setbacks and mistakes have blocked your way to your goals. Though you might not have been lacking in will, diligence, or ambition, these mistakes might have cost you. Where did you go wrong? What can you do next time so that this does not repeat itself?

[ Tracey Davis | Past, Present, Future ]

A reading for @muddysnakedavis. Card interpretations are from the Golden Thread Tarot app.

[ Past | Nine of Cups, reversed ] Greed, Smugness, Dissatisfaction. There seems to be so much to celebrate right now, as you are able to have almost everything you desire. But there is the lingering feeling that something else is still missing. It seems that there is no end in sight to what you still want. Or perhaps, there is some key element that is still not within your grasp.  

[ Present | Judgement ] Reflection, Reckoning, Inner Voice. Judgement indicates the cusp of rebirth. In order to achieve that, you must look back upon your deeds and come to an honest evaluation of yourself. This leaves to the awakening that signals a new way of life.  

[ Future | Eight of Cups ] Walking Away, Disillusionment, Leaving Behind. There is a feeling of disappointment and loss associated with this card. One has taken a retrospective of their situation and has decided to leave it behind. Something is abandoned, and through that abandonment, one feels the loss of a part of themselves.
