| | Divination Classroom As you enter the Classroom you notice shelves filled with items like frilly teapots and stacks of matching cups and saucers. On another set of shelves you see rows of glass balls of various sizes and other strange objects like stones and cystals of different shapes, colors and sizes. The tables are large and round, with comfortable poofy chairs surrounding them. The fireplace is lit emitting a warm glow that adds an eeriness as the flames reflect off of the many shiny objects. Professor Kotkin sits back and waits as the students climb the narrow ladder that leads to the tower of the Divination Classroom. |

| "Great job Taylor! This hand is beautifully formed with long graceful fingers with pointed tips. Their consistency is soft and yielding with flexible thumb and fingers. The palms will have many lines and the nails tend to be long and oval and from the back of the hand alot of skin is visible around the nails. This hand is also known as the Intuitive Hand and is somewhat rare. These people are motivated by their deepest feelings and are very sensitive. They are creative with strong imaginations but most are not blessed with common sense. Next...." The Mixed Hand |

Taylor once again raised his hand..."Although the main types of hands have been identified, there are people who have a variety of physical traits from many of the types already mentioned. These people are known to possess the so-called mixed hand.
Indeed, as is expected, these individuals may find themselves carrying a mixture of the main characteristics of a selection of hand types. Consequently, they may be suited to work from a wide range of vocations.
It is difficult to provide an analysis of the mixed hand without referring to particular individual cases. Those who own the mixed hand type are advised to look at their most distinguished feature and refer to the information of the best matched hand type."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Fancy Taylor | Devoted to Tom Padfoot's Psychiatrist Fancy listened intently and took notes quickly. As her classmates described the different types of hands and the characteristics of people with those hands, Fancy couldn't help but pause and look at her own hands. At first glance, she thought that she had either a psychic hand or a conical hand. Listening to the characteristics, they both encompassed many of her personality traits. She would need more information before she could make a choice. She was excited to begin studying Divination, even though she couldn't express her enthusiasm. She eagerly looked at Professor Kotkin and awaited the next section of studying. Hopefully they'd learn about the different lines on the palm soon. |

| "Very good Taylor. Very few hands will conform to one type, so most people will find they have traits from more than one hand type. You look to the strength of the similarities to find the proper traits. Look to the basic shape of the hand for the foundation you need to analyse it. The fingers, mounts, lines... as well as hand consistency, size, skin texture, flexibility and skin ridge patterns will help you gain more precise information. So, as you see, there is much to know when it comes to the art of Palmistry. Consistency Flexibility Hand Size Skin Texture Right or Left Dominate Hand? Mounts and Valleys: Longitudinal Zones (3) Latitudinal zones (3) Mounts(6) (ooc: I'm off again until tomorrow.... if you would like to earn more points, feel free to take turns..... don't do it all..... and list one of either the zones or mounts and describe them. We'll pair off then and start to try our hands at reading each other's palms.... will do this all weekend as well!) |

| Consistency
"The consistency of hands allows you to discover more about energy levels. How active are you? Can you keep going twenty four hours a day or do you like to take things a little easier. Perhaps you find it difficult to stir yourself into any action at all? How much energy do you and your partner have?" Flexibility
"The degree of flexibility in your hand indicates your emotional and mental health. In short, a flexible hand, a flexible mind, a stiff hand, a stiff mind. Emotionally, those people with limber hands adjust well to their enviroment. Stiff hands indicate those who have a rigid outlook on life. flexible hand that can bend backwards in a gracefull arch indicates a mind that can respond quickly. These people can act, think and feel all at once. A moderate flexible hand is the most common. People with this type of hand tend to be balanced and in control of themselves. An extremely flexible hand indicates a person who is easily led by others. A firm type of hand indicates a strong type of person. These people are conservative with their money and feelings." Hand Size
"The size of the hand can be important in in helping to judge the character and personality. People with small hands have a strong desire to achieve. They usually set long range goals in their life. They sometimes have a big ego and have trouble relaxing. People with medium hands are well balanced and have good judgement. They have common sense and are practical. People with large hands have many capability`s. They can have many goals, all at the same time. They are friendly and very sociable." Skin Texture
The skin texture on the hand shows the persons natural refinements. If the texture is soft and delicate it will indicate a refined and sensitive person. Transperant skin is found on saintly type people. Thin skin is found on the hands of overly sensitive people. Often those with thick skin are stubborn and insensitive. Course skin is found on the hands of earthy people. People with a satin, smooth type skin are very artistic and often have a love of nature. Right or Left Handed
Both hands are equally interesting, and there is no reason for looking at only one of them. As a matter of fact, there are some who even read feet - yes, both of them. Considering the way the body is connected, the left hand is linked to the right side of the brain and the right hand to the left side of the brain. Scientific research with people missing the 'bridge' that normally connects the two hemispheres in the brain, may suffer from something called Alien Hand Syndrome' that can cause one hand to have a will of its own, so when one ties a shoelace the other might untie is again!). When right-handed the left side of the brain is likely to be dominant. From the handreading perspective, your dominant hand is your public face to the world and makes the active decisions, whilst your passive hand shows more the personal and private self.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Felisia | Felisia scribbled her notes and looked down at her hands. She wasn't sure which type she had. She was artistic, and could have a short temper. But her hand didn't look conical.
She glanced up at her friend across the table. Fancy, too, was scanning her hands. Felisia laughed silently to herself and wondered how quickly they would begin practicing palmistry. |

Sabrina raised her hand. "One of the mounts is the Mount of Jupiter. This is situated at the base of the index finger. A well-developed mount is indicative of the person's leadership qualities. This person is also just, honest, optimistic and sociable. If the mount is flat, the person lacks confidence and a good personality. If the mount is over developed, the person is arrogant, proud, idle and egoistic. A small line between the Heart and Head lines on this mount indicates acquisition of wealth."

c00kie was a little blur in Palmistry, but she was determined to catch up. She scribbled down the notes and continued to pay attention.

c00kie suddenly thought of one of the mounts she had read about. "Professor, if i am not mistaken, there is also the mount of Mercury, this mount is situated at the base of the little finger," c00kie said while gesturing the spot with her own hands," A well-developed mount is indicative of a person who loves to travel a lot, and is a go-getter. If it is overdeveloped, the person is a glib talker and a consummate liar. If it is flat, the person is shy, diffident or just plain dull." c00kie said.

Nikolai Vannacutt | Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Nabiya raised her hand,"There is a mount called the Mount of Venus, a cross on the Mount of Venus indicates the person will find true love in their life. A triangle on the Mount of Venus shows a person who will marry for money. A star at the base of the Mount of Venus indicates trouble in finding true love in life." She stopped, referred back to her book and continued, "A grill on the Mount of Venus is a sign of sensuality. A island on the Mount of Venus indicates a loss of opportunities. Small circles on the Mount will indicate adultry. And..a square will act as protection in love." |

| The Mount of Mars JayMay ♥ Big, yellow duckie <3 Jessica frowned as vaaaaarious people informed the class of different mounts. She noted down all the informatin, her frown slowly becoming more and more prominent. The trouble was, she knew she had read about the mounts somewhere, but she couldn’t remember what or where or when. What was it now? she thought, concentrating hard.
Tapping her palm pensively with her quill, she racked her drowsy brains.
“Professor,” she said, raising her hand. “I’m not sure, but I think that, all these mounts apart, there is also the Mount of – errrr –“ she paused awkwardly, obviously thinking hard. “Oh yes, the Mount of Mars.
“This particular mount is positioned between the head line and where the heart line starts, and said to be the most - ermm – “complicated” of all mounts. The lower end is at the heart line’s exact start, close to the thumb. While the middle Mars mount is positioned in the middle of the palm.
"A smooth and soft plane usually depicts a selfish personality, a person of zeal, enthusiasm, energy and activity may be depicted by a finely-developed, broad and firm Mars plane.”
Here, Jessica abruptly stopped and lowered her hand, running out of knowledge about the Mars Mount, wishing that she was more knowledgeable.

Meghan took down the notes of what everyone was saying. "Does anyone else noticed all the mounts are named after planets kind of ironic..."she mumbled more to herself than anyone else.

| The Mount Of Moon JayMay ♥ Big, yellow duckie <3 Hearing Meghan, Jessica smiled. She had noticed this from the start. Hey, Wait a second! Planets! It rang a bell. There wasn't a "Mount of Earth."Of course! Satellites. The Mount of Moon!
"Professor, no one has yet told about the Mount of Moon," she said, almost excitedly. "This specific mount is located at opposite the thumb, at the lower end of the palm. A well-developed mount depicts compassion, sympathy, affection, ingenuity and a person who lives his life to the fullest, with zeal and enthusiasm. On the other hand, a flatter surface usually means a person with a lively imagination, and a nature filled with empathy and compasion."
She lowered her hand once more, secretly thankful to Meghan for making her remember it all.

Akasha Balathzar | At the loony bin ❣ Ubiquitous ❣ Brain!nvader ❣ !Wake The Dead¡ The slytherin kid behind Jessica was rude, he kept making faces as she answered, Julie noticed that he loathed gryffindors who were smart,
Julie took the advantage and raised her hands saying "Professor, there is also Mount of Mercury, this mount is situated at the base of the little finger. A well-developed mount is indicative of a person who loves to travel a lot, and is a go-getter. If it is overdeveloped, the person is a glib talker and a consummate liar. This person is also the regular Casanova. If it is flat, the person is shy, diffident or just plain dull."
Julie paused smirking at the slytherin boy thinking That ought to teach him!

Cassy glanced up from note making and noticed a Slytherin person behind Jessica scowling at her. She wondered why this was and then remembered the rivalry between the houses and shook her head slightly. She understood being loyal to your house but this boy was just being rude so Cassy shot him a disapproving look. She lowered her eyes to the parchment and continued to write but then it struck her, maybe the boy was just jealous that Jessica knew the answers and he didn't? She returned to her normal level of concentration and carried on writing trying to get all the correct details down.

Adrienne was taking notes so fast when she paused she noticed she could barely read her own hand-writing. She'd have to go over it later and rewrite it. Oh, well. She really didn't expect this much info in the first class, and she really didn't understand it all, but that didn't matter now. She would read through it later when copying it and try to comprehend it then. She sighed and went back to note taking.

Heshasa had already filled3 pages front to back and was starting on her fourth page of notes. Palmistry was not her best subject when I came to divination. Scanning her notes she realized that her writing was very hurried and sloppy. Shrugging she continued at top speed.

| JayMay ♥ Big, yellow duckie <3 Jessica saw Alex’s hateful look and vaguely heard herself sigh. She noticed the disapproving looks some people gave him, and was grateful – not because she didn’t like him, but because they were supporting her. Alex and Jessica once been more than just friends…and now….he hated her with all his might – and didn’t regret displaying his hatred; she, on the other hand, had always been cordial to him, even after their break-up and….well….their seriously serious fights. And now he was being rude, just because she knew the answers….She pushed the matter to the back of her head with extreme difficulty, and turned her attention back to Divination.
Jessica felt more than just thankful towards Meghan for mumbling what she just had. All planets, she thought cheerily. Then it struck her. All of the mounts were not planets!
Her hand was up before she knew it.
“Professor, the only mount that has not been named after a planet is,” she began. “The Mount of Apollo. At least, I don’t know any such planet. It is located at the base of the ring finger, with a well-developed mount showing a warm, lovable, positive, hopeful and zealous person. Flatness, however, means a person who is mistrustful, cold-hearted, and pessimistic. Overdevelopment depicts a rough, self-centred and indifferent person.”
Her eyes were shining with enthusiasm now. She was absolutely hooked with Divination. For once, she forget her damaged relationship with Alex. She couldn't help winking warmly at Julie.

As Tina quickly scribbled notes she kept thinking to herself, my my that girl is obsessive over this junk. By accident she even let out a little "obsessive," in a sing-song voice. She really didn't care if anyone heard her, but she couldn't help giggling at her stupidity.
