((This is after Trelawney retires, and so is after the time of Harry Potter. I want to sort of mention a couple of Trelawney's classroom predictions as lessons. I personally feel that she saw everything correctly, she just misread it. You'll see what I mean later.))
The spiral staircase to the North Tower Divination classroom remain normal and unchanged. The nameplate on the trapdoor reads Prof. Summers, Divination. When the soft cord next to the wall is pulled, the trapdoor opens and a silver ladder comes down to allow the students access to the classroom. The inside is circular, and is obviously charmed to be larger than it appears on the outside. Round tables, covered in white tablecloths, are grouped around the edges of the room. Each table bears a single tall white candle that gives off more light than a candle usually does. Simple wooden chairs surround these tables, allowing thirty or so students to sit in the room at one time, far more than what is usually needed. Instead of the darkness and the stifling red shades of Trelawney's the room is decorated in relaxing shades of ocean blues. The windows are open, allowing cool breezes to sweep through the room. The fireplace is usually empty and cold on warmer days, as the classes never do fire-signs until winter. Teacups and teapots sit on shelves, curved against the wall, on one side of the room. The other wall supports cabinets, also curved, of smoky crystal balls and seeing mirrors. The bottom two shelves of these cabinets hold simple-looking wooden bowls. Opposite the students' tables is a larger oval desk of the teacher's. A plain wood chair sits behind it, and the desk is bare with the exception of a quill, inkpot, and a stack of parchment. Another new addition is the enchanted blackboard that draws up into the cieling when not needed.

((You're the teeniest bit late, but it's okay. Doesn't matter.))
Professor Summers pulled down a teapot and poured hot water into it. She placed four identical white teacups on the central table, just behind an array of tea leaves. "We are going to start with tea leaf reading," she announced, waving her wand to bring down the blackboard. A piece of chalk rose up and began to write things on the board, detailing pictures of different types of tea leaves and jotting down notes on their qualities in divination. "Please take out a piece of parchment, a quill, and your books." She placed the teapot behind the cups and stood behind the table while she explained each leaf. "When you are finished copying down what's on the board, come up, choose a cup, and put the correct amounts of each leaf into it. When you have done that, I will fill the cup with water. No sugar or cream, it can ruin the shapes. This is why we use Mallowleaf, or sweet leaf. It doesn't mess up anything, and adds some sweet flavor to the tea."
