"Good answers. Another point to Slytherin."

"Good. One point for Ravenclaw, young lady." Professor St. Toussaint took out a piece of parchment, and wrote-out neatly columned houses and points.

"One point for Gryffindor!" St. Toussaint nodded.

"Gooood! Very good! 5 points to Gryffindor, Mamzelle. Please introduce yourself." She appreciated this students shut-mouth tactics in the begining of class.

"Yes, that is right. Take another point for Gryffindor for pointing out that fact."

"Yes. One more point for Slytherin." She smiled a dimpled smile happy to be giving her former house a point, especially as they were third in the race for the housecup this term.

"Three points to Hufflepuff for the etmology of the word. Excellent!"

"Yes. One point."

"Two points, Gryffindor."

She nodded complacently at Toussain'ts request, and she did have a few questions. At the next inquiry, her hand shot up once more. "Chiro... Chiro... Chirognomy," she chirped with another bright smile, slightly tripping over the world. It was a mouthful.
"Yes...one point to Ravenclaw." So far, St. Toussaint was quite impressed and satisfied in her knowledge that she was right in her unfair assessment. Girls were smarter!

"In general, we study the hand, but as your fellow classmate has pointed out, there are many different aspects to studying the hand. The palm itself is one thing, but also the nails and the fingers." She held up her hands palms out to give a visual.

"What are the basic shapes of the fingers that we study in Cheiromancy?"
