Oooooookay. Professor Elwood was seeing a lot of blank stares after her question which told her that many of them didn't remember everything about the correlation of the suits of tarot cards and classical elements; or in some cases any of it.
"Like those of you who remembered from the last lesson on Tarot, for those of you who didn't please get this in your notes, we learned that each card suit matches with a classical element. Wands goes with Fire, Cups with Water, Pentacles/Coins are for Earth and Swords match with Wind. Why I praised Mr. Branxton's mention of an old answer of Mr. Odessa's, was because he mentioned that these suits aren't limited to match only one thing." She paused to let that sink in for a second. "So far we've seen that they can match with elements and even Hogwarts houses. Today we will learn about something else that they match with."
She raised her hand and held it out to show them. "Raise your hand about a foot from your face, palm side facing you and examine it. It's no doubt pretty different than those belonging to your classmates."
"Hand types also correspond to the suits of the Tarot Minor Arcana. "The air hand is characterized by having long, thin fingers, with a square palm. The Earth hand is usually characterized with a squarish palm, and short fingers deeply carved lines in it." She paused and then continued, hoping they were all writing this down. "The fire hand has a squarish palm which is usually longer in length than their short fingers. And last but not least the water hand. What are the characteristics of a water hand?" They could use the process of elimination to figure it out, their textbook or previous knowledge. She had faith in them.
Cassia raised her hand and stared examining her own hand wondering what type of hand was hers. Her palm was...normal. Weren't all palms? But she was going to say hers was kinda squarish. And her fingers were thin but not too long neither were short. Relative to the size of her hand. Though, this wasn't the question which Professor Elwood wanted answered, no? Before Cassia thought about the water hands, she wrote down some notes on the hands' types. Interesting information and might be in exam which make them more
interesting.
By the time she finished scribbling, many had answered the question. She didn't have many information and what she knew wasn't going to add anything new so she decided to not speak. And just smile at the Hufflepuff firstie's answer. His made sense, no?
Then back to examining her hand. She really wasn't yet sure of what type it was. Could it be a mix of two? Naaaaaah.
