I'm back. Sorry for the long wait. Hey, has anyone else noticed that changed their logo? It's really bothering me, i dislike the new one :( Anyway, back to Adie and her crazy scemes. Oh, and btw I just found this site that all you HP lovers might be interested in. On second thought, two things. 1. (have i said this on this story before?) go watch A Very Potter Musical on youtube. They're even coming out with a sequel this summer! 2. Someone wrote these fanfictions about James Potter (junior, meaning Harry's son, not his father) and he made them like real books and all and they're full length and really good (or at least, they are so far, I've only gotten to page 31 on the first one but I'm hooked!) the URL is (put the dots where it says dot in parentises) http://www (dot) jamespotterseries (dot) com/wizard_index (dot) html

Disclaimer: 10th chapter! A milestone! It still doesn't make it mine!

Firenze was not like Adelia had imagined at all. He was like a horse, only he seemed bigger because although his torso was roughly the same size as a horse's, he stood up straight. His hair was silver-blonde and he had a way of talking to them like humans were so much less intelligent than centaurs, but yet wasn't all that condesending.

"We will be learning about palmistry. Palmistry is the study of reading one's hand with the lines and - " He stopped when his eyes fell on Adelia. "Who are you?"

"I'm Adelia." She said, deciding to just go with this slowly instead of telling him all about her at once.

"You are an elemental. We have not seen one of those for a time. Not since Venus fell into the shadows of Jupiter." He mused.

"Is that supposed to make sense?" Adie whispered to Victoire, Teddy, and Paden. Leila was not yet back from the hospital wing, though she had reportedly woken up for a time that morning.

"No, not really. Centaurs rarely make sense on stuff like that." Victoire whispered back. Paden shushed them as Firenze began to lecture them again.

"Palmistry is the study of reading one's hand with the lines and the characteristics of said person's hand. Now choose a partner and use your books to read your partner's hand." Victoire paired with Teddy so Adie was left with Paden.

"Oh, great, I get Paden." She said.

"Hey! What's wrong with me?" He asked as they opened their books.

"You'll take the whole day to read one line on my hand." She commented. He had no wise retort for that.

"Well then, let's start now." He said and she offered her hand to him. He took it and traced the lines with his fingers. "You have fire hands, which isn't surprising with you." She opened her mouth to protest. "Adie, listen to what it says. 'Peoples with fire hands tend to be creative, energetic, ambitious, unpredictable and mischeivious. Yes, I would say that sums you up perfectly." She couldn't argue with that." Now, your heart line is long and curvy, that means you express your emotions well, but its sort of wavy towards the beginning, which means you'll be many relationships at the beginning of your life, or something like that."

"Yes, that sounds so official 'or something like that'" She said sarcastically. She wasn't quite sure anymore what else she wanted to find out from her hand.

"Your head line, that shows stuff about your brain so really, you shouldn't have one, is separated from your life line, that means you're entusiastic about life and curved, which means you're creative. That sounds pretty much like you. Your life line is a semicircle and that means....that you're strong and, again, enthusiastic. It's also kinda short..."

"Does that mean I'm going to die young?" Adelia exclaimed.

"No, it means that you're easily manipulated by others. Now that doesn't sound like you." He commented

"I told you, these obviously don't mean anything, it's just lines on my hand.

"Anyway, you don't have a fate line so we're done. See, it didn't take all day for me to read your hand! Here, do mine." He offered his much larger hand to her.

"Hmm, yessss, you have a - wait lemme check - an earth handdd." She said in a drawling voice.

"Adie, stop that." He said through his laughs.

"Mmm, yess, an earrtthhh hanndddd, which means you valueee things and have ennnergyyyy. Alsooo, you are practical, responsible, and...materialisticccc.."

"Stop that! And it does not say materialisitc." He said, looking at the book.

"Yes, it does. Right there, see, you're materialistic."

"I'm not." He retorted.

"The hand doesn't lie, Paden." She said chidingly

"I thought you were the one who didn't beleive this at all."

"The tables have turned, my friend. Now, lets see. Your heart line says that you have a good handle on your emotions and that you will love only one person, or something like that, like you'll only really have one serious relationship."

"That sounds so morbid the way you say it. And what happened to your voice."

Adie shrugged. "It got boring. And I don't think that's morbid, I think it's romantic, really." Paden shook his head. "Anyway, your head line is deep and clear, so you're focused and such and it's straight, so you think realistically. Now, that's morbid."

"It's not. And I don't always think realistically. Sometimes I just dream, I guess."

"Okay. That was awkward. And so, as I was saying before I was interrupted, your life line is straight and close the the edge so you're...cautious when it comes to love. And you have a fate line! Why don't I have a fate line? No, don't answer that, I don't want to hear it. Your fate line says that you're self-reliant. Good for you, Paden, your parents must be so proud!"

"Oh, shut it, just because your hands are actually interesting doesn't give you the right to brag about it." He informed her.

'Isn't that exactly what bragging rights are? Besides, I wasn't bragging, I was teasing."

"Whatever, Adie, let's pack up, we've got lunch now."

Hehehe. That was fun to write. Anyway, review!!!!!!
