JK Rowling has provided some divination education, after being told to go back to magic school - by rapper Tinie Tempah.
The suggestion came in an online discussion on the Harry Potter Author featuring in the hip hop artist's song Girls Like.
The tune featured the rap: "Tell JK that we still rolling."
A fan took to Twitter to ask the writer whether she ever thought she would be name-dropped in a song about what girls like.
After she said no, the rapper quipped that she should have "spent more time in Divination class".
The author replied: "Divination is a very imprecise branch of magic!"
It's not the first time the writer has engaged with hip hop artists on Twitter.
JK Rowling last month quoted a line from Chamillionaire's hit song Ridin when trying to end an online spat involving Glasgow MP Natalie McGarry.
She tweeted: "They see me Rowlin'. They hatin'"
And the response was noticed by the rapper who responded: "I was gonna remix your tweet to 'We see them trollin', but you already took home the Grammy. Touche."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
