Antonio rushed into the classroom, appearing exhausted and somewhat under stress. He wondered whether anyone would notice this, and hoped they would not. He immediately set to work, setting out textbooks at the front of the room as he had done for previous lessons. He had decided not to tell the students that he had made a decision not to return to Hogwarts as a professor next year, opting instead to return to his homeland of Hollian, and that his daughter Antonia would be attending as a student here next term. That was the main reason he had decided not to return, to avoid any controversy. But all of that was irrelevant, he was here to finish this final lesson here today and that was what mattered at this point.
"All right, students, please pick up a copy of the textbook as well as the calculator and we'll get started soon," he promised.

Adrienne raised her hand. "The rising sign, or ascendant sign, explains why some people may not seem like the stereotypical example of their sun sign personality. It helps explain how we try to make other people see us, quite often as a way of protecting ourselves when we first meet people." Which could explain a lot about some people.

Antonio smiled and greeted each student as they entered the class. "Good morning Jack, Marie, Bella, Rex and Arya," he said. "We're just going to give a little more time for people to show up and then we'll go ahead and get started. I hope you are all interested in finding out even more about your personal horoscope today!"
" I am ready to learn more from you " Rex told Professor DuMont.

" Hi Kay" Rex said to her. " Ready for class?" Rex asked Kay.

She really didn't want to talk but remembered the fact that she was leaving for Russia and not coming back at the end of the year. "Hhhhello ppproffffessor." she moaned. Oh yeah, class was not going to be fun. Well, at least she wasn't contagious. Suffering from panic attacks is more of a personal issue. Nicoletta picked up a book and a calculator and sat down.
" Nicoleeta, are you ok? Rex asked her. " if I can do anythinf for you, tell me" Rex told Nicoletta.

Who knew but her cousin, it was so weird calling her that, Emily hadn't known of any wizards in her fathers side of the family. She had also recently figured out in her mind that her father was a wizard and was hiding the fact from her mother and her, she had sent a note to him asking him why but she hadn't received a response yet. She figured that she had startled him with that letter.
Emily realized she was just standing in the middle of class mumbling to herself so she snapped out of it and grabbed her materials from the front of the glass and sat down at a desk in front of Rex and Kay. EMily turned around in her seat "Hey Rex, Hey Kay." EMmily said, then turned around again in her seat and said "Good day Professor Dumont."
"Hello," EMily said. "You look very Familiar, either we met on the train or we met with Bella, Keeley and Choluna. I'm sorry but I just can't put a face to a name, Just wanted to say hi." EMily said "Thought I'd try to brighten your day."
Emily then opened her textbook to a random page, stared at t and continued her mumbling.
" Hello Emily " Rex told her. " If you know when Emilya was born, you could probaably found out about her, too" Rex explained to Emily.
"Hello to all of you," Antonio greeted the rest of the students. "I guess we will go ahead and get started with the lesson. First of all, how many of you know what the Rising Sign represents in your horoscope?"
Putting her hand in the air, Kay answered the Professor. "Sir, it
represents how we react around others and how we cope with them." She said .

Smiling Kay looked At Rex after she answered the Professor. "Yes I think I'm ready this time thanks to you." She said reaching under the table and taking his hand. She tighten the hold and then went to let go.
The rising sign...rising sign...ris- "Doesn't it represent like...the mask one wears when you're out and about doing new things and meeting with people? Kinda like the act one puts on when they don't want people to know what they are really feeling or something. It's just...our natural reaction in situations."
Unless she totally had that wrong. Perhaps she should read the material again since she barely had skimmed over it before the Professor had started speaking.

That was a complete answer, right?
Right.

"These are all good answers, as are most of the answers you have given," Antonio said. "I will give points to both Slytherin and Gryffindor for the answers, as you were the quickest and your answers were very accurate. I'm glad to see you are all paying attention."
Antonio looked around. "The term is ending, and I don't want to make this lesson too long or complicated. Why don't you all go ahead and get started on figuring out your rising sign? This calculator will help you to find it."

Figuring out the rising sign. Okay. Seemed simple enough right? Right. Taking the calculator, she started with all the necessary information needed, noticing how it was kinda like figuring out what their moon sign was, and came up with her answer rather quickly.
Her rising sign was a....Sagittarius? Reading the material, she could see how that would sound like her, and she was ever grateful that her rising sign didn't end up to be another Leo. Two Leo signs were all that she could take at the moment. Although, no Leo signs would be better in her opinion.
Opening her notebook, she started to write everything down, including the meaning of the sign, her birthday, name...blah blah.

Daisy pulled the calculator out and started punching numbers into it. Her mother had never informed her of her time of birth so she made the best estimate she could think of. 2:48 she thought remembering that she was born in the afternoon, but the calculator didn’t ask for A.M. or P.M. She then realized that it was in military time and felt a bit foolish. She recalculated her sign and came up with:
“Leo.” Funny, well that explained a few things to her.
Oh boy, apparently Miranda had dozed off or something because she had MISSET ALOT!
Erm.
But now ideed they were going to calculate the rising sign. Hopefully the calculations and results would be less offending, unlike the last time. Snort.
Righty-o. On with the businness!

Oh joy! It worked out fiiiiin! Phew! And here Miranda thought she was going to have to argue with the results and throw a couple of insults at it. Hehe. But lookit, it was as it should be.

Your Ascendant: 28°10' - Gemini
SPOILER!!: Texty
Your mobility is such that you are in every place where you are not expected. You spend lots of time asking questions and… answering them. Your curiosity and your quick-wittedness are insatiable. Your mind is in constant turmoil, hopping from one topic to another, solving problems, accumulating anecdotes and knowledge within a short range of time. Your mobility is mostly mental, it takes you afar and turns your daily life into a mosaic of intense and pleasant moments that are not necessarily related to each other: provided things are moving, your neurons are kept busy and you can meet with people, everything is fine!
With this Ascendant, you come across as nervous, expressive, lively, adaptable, with a good sense of humour, bubbling, playful, sociable, clever, whimsical, independent, intellectual, flexible, ingenious, fanciful, imaginative, charming, cerebral, and you are into everything. You may also be capricious, unfocused, quirky, superficial, indiscreet, opportunist, unmindful, selfish, sarcastic or mercurial.
What... EXCUSE YOU- meh... The part with the turmoilin her mind was a little bit OVERREACTING, wouldn't you say? Like, come on. Pffft. It made Miranda sound like she was mental or something. No pun intended. o.O
And the rest was totally true though. She liked moving about.... unless it meant climbing the stairs, walking too long or running. Eh. But, like, standing still isn't fun, she knew that. Hehehe.
Nervous!? Miranda frowned and gasped, looking around as if expecting someone else to have heard what she had read. She was NOT nervous! Hmph!
Taking a deep breath, she continued to read, making her calm down, because the rest was kind of true she thought. Most of it, and some where things she hoped she was, and people thought her as like. But who knew. Sarcastic and me...mercut-curial. Eh? She'd have to look that word up in the DICTIONARY. But she knew one thing, it sounded OFFENSIVE!
Fred made quick work of finding his birth sign and writing all his notes on his parchment:
Quote:
Name: Fred Pelican
House: GryffindorYear: 6th
Birthdate: 9/5/2054
Rising Sign: Scorpio
After figuring out he was a Scorpio he read over what that meant he could be like around others and his mouth dropped knowing this could not be further from the truth. I never want to assert myself before others, the most important thing to me is that others feel comfortable and the only time I ever rebelled I had good reason, I would never rebel just to gain power. And me competitive, as if. I am a caring soul who wants nothing more then to help others, not tear they them down, me as a scorpio rising sign is whack Fred thought.
Bella flicked opened her textbook and peered in. She quickly jotted down her date of birth, date and place.
Looking down at her wiritng, she looked through her book for the right answer, Herriing sigh. She stopped at a page, it thankfully had the written words she needed. She read.
Quote:
Your Ascendant: 25°19' Sagittarius
SPOILER!!: Text
Sagittarius
Your psychological nature is extroverted and independent, oriented towards expansion and sociability. You have the soul of a leader, energetic and active. Your charisma and your drive are fully integrated in the collective life. Indeed, as an action-oriented fire sign, you challenge yourself and succeed in accomplishing the task straight away. Sagittarius is hard to follow because his spirit and his independent mind constantly lead him to go further and higher.
With this Ascendant, you come across as charismatic, fiery, energetic, likeable, benevolent, tidy, jovial, optimistic, extraverted, amusing, straightforward, demonstrative, charming, independent, adventurous, straightforward, bold, exuberant, freedom-loving.
But you may also be irascible, selfish, authoritarian, inconsistent, unfaithful, brutal, unreliable, reckless, tactless or disagreeable.
She frowned down at the text. She wasn't those bad things, was she? She mulled it over her head, as she jotted down the main bits on her peice of parchment.

Carter nodded hey to Evelyn. He listened to the instructions and then began punching things into his calculator. Hmm... Leo, eh? He began reading more about what that meant.

You can also be domineering, conceited, touchy, authoritarian, stubborn, intolerant, self-centered, irascible, violent, and nonchalant.
Seriously? How could be all those things as well as everything he was according to Arithmancy. Apparently he was very talented at being a walking contradiction.

Taking the caluculator in her hand, Becca studied it. Quickly imputting her information, Becca soon found her rising star sign to be the 10°44' Libra.

Unless Saturn is very strong in the chart, Libra is delicate, charming, sociable, perpetually compromising. For this reason, you may sometimes come across as hesitant and weak because you dare not to insist or to give your opinion. You prefer to act as a unifier, an element of understanding and equity, even though it is detrimental to your own assertiveness. You loathe violence, you spare no efforts for the sake of pacification and you adjust to the situation with flexibility and charm.
With this Ascendant, you come across as sentimental, charming, polite, delicate, refined, loyal, peace-loving, fair, distinguished, light, romantic, cultured, airy, likeable, neat, perfectionist, caring, gentle, quiet, tidy, artistic, tolerant, lenient, sociable, seductive, elegant, kind, with a taste for aesthetics. But you may also be hesitant, weak, wavering, selfish, fragile, indecisive, fearful, indolent, cold or even, insensitive.
She studied her results further and wondered, did these traits apply to her?

With this Ascendant, you come across as emotional, sentimental, restful, sensitive, loyal, enduring, protective, vulnerable, generous, romantic, tender, poetic, paternal or maternal, dreamy, indolent, greedy and dedicated. You may also be fearful, unrealistic, evasive, passive, touchy, anxious, dependent, stubborn, lunatic, backward-looking, lazy, burdensome, impenetrable and a homebody.

Marie put the information needed into the calculator. That was the easy part, Now to see what it came up with for her and see if it described her at all.
She got Scorpio. So Aries for her sun sign, Sagitarius for her moon sign, and now Scorpio for her Rising Sign. Was this normal to have three different signs she wondered.
SPOILER!!: Scorpio
Your Ascendant: 4°38' Scorpio
Your psychological nature is bilious with aggressive impulses that spur the transformation of your being and of any situation you are involved in. You are constantly struggling to assert yourself. You cannot refrain from testing others with cutting remarks, not because you want to hurt them, but because you want to know them better through their reaction; life and the feeling of aliveness are experienced through rebellion and tension. Your aggressive attitude may equate with sly inquisition as often, you remain silent, introverted and secretive, mulling over turbulent thoughts in the depths of your mind, leaving others puzzled by your quite strange behaviour.
With this Ascendant, you come across as secretive, powerful, dominating, enduring, intuitive, assertive, charismatic, magnetic, wilful, daring, clear-sighted, passionate, creative, independent, vigorous, generous, loyal, hard-working, persevering, indomitable, possessive, shrewd, stubborn, ambitious, instinctive, tenacious, sexual, sexy, proud, intense and competitive. But you may also be aggressive, destructive, stubborn, anxious, tyrannical, perverse, sadistic, violent, self-centered, complex, critical, cruel, nasty, jealous, calculating, vulnerable and dissembling.
Wow, she thought after reading everything there was about Scorpio's in the book. It seemed as if she did possess a lot of those qualities, even the negative ones, especially the stubborn one. Yes, she could be very stubborn when she wanted to be.
Emily took the calculator, and put in her birth time and date. Now, she read what she found.
"Capricorn" EMily said. "This can't be right I am hyper and clumsy, not disciplined and patient..."
Emily decided to try recalculating her rising sign, looking at her parchment she realized that she had used 12:30 for her time of birth rather than 14:15 the real time. She recalculated her rising sign and found that she was in fact not a capricorn but a pisces.
"Pisces." EMily said, writing it on the parchment

Your psychological nature is adaptive and receptive, the exact opposite of the sign of Virgo whose very essence is to thoroughly analyze each thing, thus creating a permanent duality between the self and the outside world: conversely, Pisces absorb and wipe out any form of differentiation; with Pisces, there can be no opposition, no conflict, no individual reaction. There is only fusion, non-separation, perpetual and mobile spreading of the self over some sort of blurred but huge feeling of sympathy with the environment. It is the supreme reign of feelings and emotions over the intellect and its separating reason.
With this Ascendant, you come across as emotional, sensitive, dedicated, adaptable, nice, wild, compassionate, romantic, imaginative, flexible, opportunist, intuitive, impossible to categorized, irrational, seductive, placid, secretive, introverted, pleasant, artistic, and charming. But you may also be indecisive, moody, confused, wavering, lazy, scatterbrained, vulnerable, unpredictable and gullible.
Emily read through what she had copied from the text book and thought about who she was. It was 100% absolutely correct.
"Professor, it is truly amazing how all of these sign really do capture the true essence of oneself."
Gold picked up the calculator, entered her date and time of birth, and then frowned. City? Did they have to enter the country, as well? No idea. She typed in Paris, and... a list of "Paris'es" popped up!
Teehee.
Selecting the correct one - Paris, France, something of that sort - she entered the date she had typed in, and waited for the calculator to give her, her Rising Sun.
Quote:
Your Ascendant: 4°38' Aries
You express your vital energy in a very cut and dried way, you do not resist taking the driver’s seat and you may come across as arrogant. Charging ahead also implies hurting yourself and being suddenly overcome by doubt. As a result, your courage, your honesty, your enthusiasm and your straightforwardness may turn into aggressiveness, rebellion and vulnerability that no one ever suspected. Fortunately, the level of your energy is very high and your instinctive and pugnacious side will not leave you helpless for too long and will set you back on the often perilous road to conquest and glory.
With this Ascendant, you come across as courageous, enthusiastic, dynamic, quick, extroverted, direct, warm, impulsive, adventurous, bold, and competitive. But you may also be gullible, dominating, self-centered, impatient, foolish, thoughtless, childish, irascible, reckless, primary, with a foot in mouth disease.
Did this apply to her?
Some of it, certainly did... and some of it? It certainly, certainly did not! Gold raised a hand. "Have I done this correctly, sir?" she asked politely.
" Wow are you strong" Rex told Kay. "Good answer " Rex said to Kay. My rising sign is Leo" Rex told the professor.
She smiled when he said that she had a good answer. "Thanks." She said watching the Professor and heard Rex answer the question.

Kay giigled and looked at Rex. "Hey don't laugh. You said this was a great class with a great Professor. I want to do well." Kay said smiling to Him. After they had had their talk, and that great kiss, She wanted Rex to know all of her. even the smart part.
