Asher thought a moment. "What would a thumb have to do with it?" He looked at his own hands, trying to decided if his thumbs were long or short. He turned his hands palms in and palms out, looking at all the different features he had never noticed before. "I believe the length of your thumb represents how long you will live. Long thumb, long life?" |
SPOILER!!: Water Hands SPOILER!!: Thumbs She supposed her hand was a toss up between the air hand and the water hand, which was funny because she was in Ravenclaw, the air house, and she was a Pisces, a water sign. It was funny how that stuff worked out sometimes, though she still wasn't sure if that made her believe it wholeheartedly or anything. But the fact that they all were allowed to share some ice cream was making her lean more towards the blind trust side - at least for today. Now about the thumb lengths and what they meant... Everyone seemed to have a different idea on that. "Professor, I think I've heard too, that different segments in the thumb mean different things. Though I'm not really sure which is which...or what. Maybe from the base to the first knuckle could mean something to do with that first line in your palm that touches the base of your thumb? Or maybe that's just mine." She kept eyeing her thumb, turning it from side to side and bending it back and forth. Hers was pretty long, but not like freakishly long or anything. But still, definitely not stumpy by an stretch of the imagination. She flipped to the palm reading section of her book and saw that the line she'd been looking at was a Venus line or something...So she still wasn't sure what it meant. |
...Dylan was still eyeing his hard, trying to decide if his palm was squared or longer...It looked squared the more he stared and he finally turned his full attention to his fingers...and his thumb. His thumb was definitely longer...given that all his fingers were a little long. Musical fingers, the Slytherin liked to say. "Longer thumbs suggest fast thinking and intellect....and being confident with challenges....Short thumbs suggest a more thoughtful nature...and being ruled by your emotions." That's what he was reading, anyway. Yea, his thumb was long...and that seemed legit. Dylan was a fast-thinker and he was confident with challenges. His heart might have ruled him with Beezus...but there were no other areas of his life that would deterred by emotions. |
SPOILER!!: Replies Yes good, good. Everyone had made their guesses and at least a few of them were correct or partially so. Professor Elwood got all of their attention once again and began to address them all. "Like a few of you told us, the length of the thumb symbolizes different things if it is long or short. Long thumbs represent confident and ambitious persons in regards to their decision making skills and challenges. A person with a short thumb is more thoughtful and could be mistaken for a shy or slow-acting person because they are being more careful than those with longer thumbs." Make sense? She had watched all of their quills move back and forth over the parchment taking notes and hoped that they all got that. So moving on. "What I want everyone to do now is to stand up, bring your notes with you and find a partner. Once you have you companion, decide together what hand type your partner and yourself have using your notes on each. When you decide please write down at least two to three reasons why you've decided that's what type you or your partner is. Once you've done you, your partner or both of you can come up and retrieve two glass slabs, one ink pad, and two rubber pads from my desk." She pointed to the stack of items piled up on the wooden surface behind her. Professor Elwood cleared her thought before continuing with directions. "Once you have done this please wait for further instructions." Go! |
Partner? Ella was busy scribbling notes as she listened to her classmates offer info on thumb length. She glanced down at the thumb of her quill-less hand, head tilted to the side. Her thumb was small. As was her hand in general. Did this mean she was extra careful? Maybe. Oh and time for partners? The sixteen year old gathered up her notes and looked around the room. "Anyone need a partner?" Hopeful looks and a smile from the sixteen year old. |

He picked up his things and headed her way, hoping she wound't wave him off. |

When he sat down, the blonde smiled at him before glancing down at her notes. "So...any idea what type of hand you've got?" Cause Ella was still trying to sort that out. "I'm torn about my own...cause my hands are quite small but they are pretty long." She then held out her hand for him to see. Hopefully they could work together and sort it out. |
A combination huh? Well then, she would find the most generous combination, hunt that person and live with sugar all happy like for the rest of her life. It was the perfect plan. She just needed to know which hand could get her there. After taking down everything the Professor said she took a moment to read over her parchment. Maybe this was all she needed to find that hand type-- Say what now? Partners?....Er....okay. She looked around the room thinking she should just yell that she needed a partner...but that never turned out well for her, like ever. Last time, she had her hair shaved off--while practising a hair growth spell might she add. This was tricky business. There most have been someone she could ask--OH!!! There we go! "Mo! You wanna be my partner?!" Pleeeeeease? |
tiiiny mention of Lex ^^ causewesawyoustaring! Mweh his answer had been wrong? Daichi dipped the spoon in the ice cream and took a big bite. He chewed on it before he shivered and dropped the spoon on the desk. "Brainfreeze!" He said loudly as he pressed his warm hand on his forehead. He rubbed it and a few seconds later it was gone. "I'm alive!" Taking another bite from the ice cream, the Slytherin listened to the next instructions and looked around afterwards. Partners...partners....his eyes landed on Alexa who seemed to be EYEYING his icecream. Waving at her, he pointed at the bowl that the Professor had conjured earlier for everyone and then to the ice cream. Meaning she too could have some you know. It was for the whole class~ DAICHILOVEDSHARING~! "Who wants to be partners with an awesome person?!" GRIIIIN ...Wait....they had to WRITE NOTES?! |

"Your thumbs look a little on the longer side. At least they look that way to me." He thought a bit more. "Yes, small hands, but long fingers and thumbs." |
Quote:
"Sure. Here." He thrust his hand at her palm up. She could go first. He wiggled his fingers at her helpfully. "Give it a whirl. I know what I think I am, but I'm interested in your opinion." |
Quote:
"I'll partner up with you," She smiled. Lady Cassia herself. Did he know how lucky he was. He should. Sitting down and making herself all comfortable, the fourth-year brought her hands and spread them on the desk palms upwards. She didn't really think he'd say no. So yeah. "So, we're supposed to know what type our hands are," She said staring down at hers. "Spread yours so we can tell," Because they were doing both their hands and their partner's right? That was the point of partnering. Though it is not that she was being bossy or anything. Surely he knew more since he was a seventh year. Another Cassia!smile there. Reaching for her textbooks, she set it aside to look at the notes she had scribbled. Then she spread her hands again. |
Quote:
"Small hands but longer fingers and thumbs. Hm." That...sounded a bit like Air and Water, didn't it. "I guess the deciding factor with be the shape of my palm, yeah?" And she looked down, observing her palm thoughtfully. "I'd say it's more of an oval...what about you?" Which meant...Water? And then it was time for her to check his, yes? The sixteen year old held out her hand, palm up, and looked at him expectantly. "Your turn." |

HE HAD A PARTNER~! :3 "Hi to you too" he grinned and looked at her taking some notes. Right, the notes. "I think i missed something earlier" to busy eating ice cream you know! "Can i see your notes for a second so i can add them?" SMART SLYTHERIN! Rolling up the sleeve of the black school robe he wore, Daichi spread his fingers as he |
Partner??? Kace was learning a lot today about divination. Well palmistry to be more precise. He was taking notes and such and even when the professor was talking to him. He was being attentive because all of this seemed interesting. Then he perked up his ears and heard they needed partners? Hmm...that was called for. He knew they would need to do partner work. He took his notes with him once he copied the last bits from the board he went around the classroom looking for a partner. |

Anyway, back to hands. Cassia looked down at Daichi's hand and took her time inspecting it then measured his fingers with hers by putting her hand next to his. "Well, your fingers aren't short," She said. "I'm not sure if they are long though. They're average," She took a quick look at her notes and so that no average was there. "I think we'll consider them long." Because they weren't short. " And you're palm is...I'd say oval," She said glancing up at the older boy. Did he agree. "That means your hand is a water hand," According to her analyzes. "Do you agree?" Before spreading her own hands again she reached again for his and put two fingers on it, "It's dry though,"PAUSE. Then her lips twitched in a grin. Oh she was hilarious, wasn't she? Very proud of her sense of humor she spread both hands and stared. "What do you think," She did have thin and kinda long fingers. Though her palm wasn't really round nor oval. Hmm.. |

But on to Mo's hand. She squinted at it before turning to her notes again. "Um...gimme a minute..." She looked over her notes then focused on his hand again. "I'd say...Earth--no no," She glanced back at her notes. "Water. It's a water hand, isn't it?" She gave a definite nod. "I do believe you have a water hand Branxton." BEAM. Was she right??? |
For Syd <3 So, it was time to partner up! Jory turned to Ronnie. "Your hand, my lady,'' he said with a grin, and he took Ronnie's hand and placed it next to his books containing his notes. "Okay, so let's see,'' he muttered, studying his girlfriend's hand. The Puffer's eye went back and forth, eyeing his notes and Ronnie's hand. After a minute or two he spoke. "I think you've got the air hand, Rons. What do you think?'' Her hand certainly had the characteristics. Quickly, he scribbled the reasons for his answer on a piece of parchment; he could make changes if the need arises: Quote:

While she considered it, Mo took up Lex's hand and studied her palm and the length of her fingers. "Square palm. Or squarish. Not oval, I mean." He measured out the length of her fingers in comparison to the length of her palm. "Long fingers too. So that's... an air hand. You have an air hand." |
Quote:
Why'd he have to ask why? Wasn't finding it out enough? She paused, giving it some thought. Now that he mentioned it, she did remember the Professor saying something about them giving a reason. Meant she actually had to. "Well..." She gave his hand another long look. "You've got thin, long fingers, see?" She began, pointing to his fingers. She took his palm and made a circle kind of motion just above it. "The palm's not square...it's more oval like so there we have it, plus, I guessed water and you agreed so I'm most likely right." He would have said something if she wasn't, he was the type to. As he spoke she gave her own hand a look over. "Seems legit, I can live with that!" Not like she knew what any of them meant anyway. "So are you going to go collect the stuff from up there or you want me to run and get them?" |

Doodles, like, literally EVERYWHERE! He hoped for her sake that this wasn't the book she had to hand over at the end of the year.... Still, the little doodles were kinda cute, it was just missing some. "Where are the little duckies and ice creams?" he asked as he pointed at her notebook. HMMM? WELL?! Turning his attention back to writing her notes over, the Prefect scratched his words every know and then because her handwriting was truely horrible. No offence but it reminded him of that handwriting from the groundskeeper.... "I'll...i'll do this later.." he finally gave up trying to decipher. So his hand was a water hand? He looked at his own hand before flipping the pages of his textbook to find out what a water hand was. And what he found was SCARILY accurate. This was Divination...DIVINATION!...it shouldn't be this scarily accurate! "Yeah, i agree with you" Moving on to her hand, the Prefect eyed it when she showed him her hands. Her fingers were thin and long , they looked typically girly to be honest. The shape of the palm was definitely different than his. "I think your hand is an Air hand" he answered while he read the textbook. Long fingers, yup. Square palm, yup. "Thoughts?" |
Quote:
Did he not understand her hand writing. Ehhhh..No surprise. Back to hands types. Cassia spread hers and waited for the older boy. And good thing he agreed on her analysis. Air hand? Cassia looked down at her hands and considered. Seemed legit. The shape of her hands did match the the air hands. "I think yes," She answered with nod. Now they needed to get the stuffs for the next part, right? Unless they could continue to draw stuffs. |

Asher watched as Ella held out her hand and he gently placed his, palm up, on hers. "Sorry, mine are kind of scratched up from playing outside." His hands were always bumped and bruised from climbing trees and digging around in the dirt and rocks. "I think I'm an earth person." 'An Earth person?' he thought, 'why did I just say that.' He blushed and hoped Ella didn't think he was a complete dork. |
Quote:
The sixteen year old smiled at the first year before observing his hand curiously. "That's okay. My little brother's are like that too. He likes to climb trees." Which meant lots of scrapes but she supposed that lots of boys had those. Some girls too. "An earth person, huh?" What were earth hands meant to look like again? The blonde glanced at her notes to double check, oblivious to the blushing. "I think...you might be right, Asher." Beam. "Squarish palms and short fingers, you've got those." Nodnod. She then ran her finger gently over the lines on his palm, trying to tell whether they'd be considered deep or not. "I suppose these are deep lines as well," She offered after a minute. "So...now we'll need to record our findings, yeah?" Ella pulled a piece of fresh parchment towards her and got her quill ready. She then began to write. Quote:
