It wouldn't have been Aziraphale's class if there were no breakfast pastries and pots of tea and coffee on the table in the center of the room. Since it was Aziraphale's class, those items were conveniently available for the students to enjoy.

The teacher himself had just finished setting up a display of scrying implements, and turned to the class once everyone was seated.

"As you can see, today's exercise will be in chrystallomancy, or crystal gazing. Before we begin the exercise, however, I want to give you a brief lecture on dream interpretation. You may think it odd that the lecture would focus on dreams while the exercise covers scrying, but really the two are very similar. The same sorts of symbolism you're going to encounter in your dreams is also very often present in chrystallomancy as well."

Aziraphale proceeded to give his lecture on dream interpretation, and gave each student several different handouts and a blank journal.

"Your homework for is to keep a dream journal for the next week. One of your handouts has some good pointers on methods for keeping them. When you come to the next class, I'd like you to bring a written interpretation of one of the dreams from your journal. Now, we'll move on to today's class exercise."

He gave a short talk on the basics of chrystallomancy, and then said, "Now, pair up and choose a crystal or scrying mirror to work with, and do a reading for your partner. Also, please don't forget to turn in your homework assignment from last week."

Andrew laughed. He had heard about that particular phenomenon from a few people now. It was just absurd enough to be likely at Fandom.

"Are you in a relationship," Andrew asked, totally being nosy.

"No," Chris said, a tiny bit wistfully. "I can't seem to get past three dates with a girl."

"Really?" The disbelief was pretty evident in Andrew's voice. "But you're so..." Best to not finish that statement. "... Nice!"

Chris smiled. "I think that whole saying about nice guys finishing last is true. At least around here. One girl was dating me and my brother, one girl had to go back to England and one girl decided to date Johnny Storm instead of me."

"There's something to be said about that bad-boy image," Andrew agreed. "That's kind of why I thought I had to be evil this weekend. I mean, look at me. It was the only way I could justify why Neil was interested in me. He's all awesome and cute and I'm all scrawny and me-ish."

It felt silly to admit that now.

"Wait. You and Neil are... you know... together?" Chris asked, totally oblivious and confused. "I didn't know that."

Andrew felt a momentary flutter of panic. He wondered if maybe he should be keeping this on the down-low, but Chris seemed like a good guy, so...

"Yeah, I know! Crazy, right? I mean, I don't know that we're official or anything. But we're dating. I think. Well, we are."

This was Andrew trying to talk about his relationship.

Chris smiled. "That's cool. Good luck."

"Thanks," Andrew said, smiling back. "Oh, and if you still want to stop by sometime and check out some of my books, I'm free most evenings this week."

Andrew felt bad about not calling him about it yet.

"Sure!" Chris said. "I was sick all last week ~~like my player~~, but I'm feeling better now. Maybe I'll stop by tomorrow?"

"That works for me. I work at The Magic Box tomorrow, but should be back to my room around 5:30. I'm right next to the common room on the second floor -- room 201."

"I can grab a pizza and come by around six," Chris offered.

Andrew totally hadn't been expecting dinner. "That would be awesome! I mean, you don't have to bring anything, but pizza is always a good thing."

Chris shrugged. "No big deal. I'll bring my family spellbook too."

And if it turned out Andrew was lying about that whole evil wizard thing, well, the book would protect itself.

"Cool. I'll see you then," Andrew said, trying his best not too sound like he was too excited about seeing this spellbook.
