Ok... so she had to include her name. So 'Lewis' would have to do. Hm... Where she came from... she didn't know that. Grr! So the only thing that linked in with her past and family would have to be the word 'Adopted'. What else, what else? Oh! Quidditch! How can she forget that? And... her house! Because she was sorted in there for a reason right? She clearly has the attributes or some of them for Hufflepuff house. Now that just left one... Her mind geared towards her personality and almost immediately, one word came into her mind: 'Craziness'.
Ok... so it was sentence time? Kita was already tired from the previous calculations and she was already getting a migraine! But she was going to have to get used to it right? Because she was really starting to like Arithmancy, migraine or no migraine.
Ok! Sentence time! Now... what to write, what to write, WHAT TO WRITE?! And that's when the brunette had a flashback. A flashback from the one time she had sat in the Great Hall with her best friend just munching on some chocolate cake. She bit her lip in an attempt to stop herself giggling from the mere memory of that day and started scribbling down the sentence that had formed in her head.
And Josephina was back to making rounds again, after giving her eyes a quick rest from all those numbers. It was official; she was going to need a glass of mead from the Three Broomsticks after the lesson was up. Tate wouldn't notice if she sneaked out of the castle for a few, right?
Ahem. Anyway. Students. "You ... missed a digit in Quidditch, dear. Actually, two digits because you forgot the first 'i', but then also you skipped over the 'c' when writing the numbers." The 9 didn't technically have to be there, since Kita didn't write the I, whether purposefully or not. SPOILER!!: Rebecca Hammer Quote:

This time, in order to not make a mistake, Rebecca checked her math to make sure there were no errors. Reading the next girl's statement, Fina tilted her head and blinked a few times, trying to focus her thoughts. "One teeny error," she whispered to the first year, wincing slightly. "You've miscalculated the numbers in the last word. Check your addition in that word." She was sure the girl would figure it out on her own. SPOILER!!: Riley Sinclair Quote:

He decided maybe she was right about doing the calculations and he decided to do some, to take his mind off of things.
First he was going to do a few practice ones, just random things:
After the Riley practice rounds happened, the Gryffindor decided he would go ahead and start at least one sentence like the Professor had mentioned. And he did not reduce. Nope!
Hmpf, so much for the classwork getting his mind off of things. But he did want house points so, oh well. Was it just her or did some of the kids seemed rather clouded today in their thoughts? Reluctantly approaching the seventh year egocentric lion, Josephina glanced over his paper quickly and was half-tempted to ignore the teeny mistake on his part. BUT the teacher in her wouldn't allow it, despite the offense she felt by his statement.
"They art and I never said they weren't," Hadley reminded him. That wasn't the issue and he very well knew it. "Oh and by the way, check your addition for murals." Because you know, it was wrong and stuff. SPOILER!!: Peyton Baltazar Quote:

Once the girl finished with the first set of numbers she awaited for instructions. She was totally psyched with how much she enjoyed adding numbers...lots of them. When she heard Professor Hadley saying that they could go on and do the same but with a sentence, Peyton smiled and began writing... SPOILER!!: Peyton's Parchment Task #1&2 Peyton Baltazar

Placing her quill down, Peyton re-added everything silently to herself to check if she was correct. Would leaving the lesson now to go get some mead be highly irresponsible of her? Probably, Fina mused as she walked over to another young Slytherin and glanced at her work. Rubbing her eye absently, she counted up the numbers.
Huh? "Yea, your calculations are off on your first two words... Baltazar and Red." The kids not getting their own last surnames correct worried her slightly for when they got to important stuff like their core numbers. Granted that lesson was for another day, but still. SPOILER!!: Twin#1 Quote:

It ate away at her as she hastily translated a whole sentence (Blahhhh!) into number values.
Was class nearly over!?

31+28+9+63 = 131 Passing by Sierra's desk again, she blinked at the statement on the second year's parchment, rather amused. "Well it's a statement. And it adds up." Someone was jealous though, Fina was sure of it. SPOILER!!: Michael White Quote:

Almost. "It would be right, provided you meant the first statement to read Deeds, rather than simply deed." She nodded and pointed to the extra one there in the fifth spot.

Still, it took a lot of effort to double check on all those works one by one with her head still in one piece. Zara's mind would've exploded, just doing 5 sentences. She shrugged the thought off, the professor was truly brilliant.
"Thank you, professor!" She smiled cheerfully at her encouraging comments. She was kind. Not scary, not using a chainsaw, not furious at anyone who makes mistakes, and not turning anyone's uniforms into viking costumes. Zara grinned to herself. Finally, a normal professor. Noting the young Gryffindor who seemed to be in awe of her abilities to patiently check everyone's work, she smiled back. "No problem, dear!" Honestly, she'd been checking and working with numbers for quite some time now; it was all like a second language to her now. Quote:
Originally Posted by Lockhartian Yes, thank you, Hadley.
They could rest now, right? Like...after all those numbers...the class HAD to be over, no?
OH.
The class will be continuing shortly. The boy blinked, before leaning back on his chair. There was no way he will do another sentence, he'd rather rest before they entered the next part of the lesson. Which will probably have something to do about WHAT do those numbers mean? Probably? No? Treyen looked about ready to fall off his chair. Yea, they totally should leave soon because the last thing she wanted was a Prefect down on the ground. SPOILER!!: Twin#2 Quote:
Originally Posted by Lissy Longbottom Oh, look, Sierra was in this class too. Alex had been so absorbed in his calculations, he hadn't even noticed. Not that he cared, of course. He was still pretending that she didn't exist because she'd be SUPER RUDE to him in the courtyard. While he obviously wasn't as angry as he had been that day, he was still annoyed and hurt by his sister and therefore, was pretending she just didn't exist and it was working VERY nicely for him.
He glared at her direction, then crossed his arms and looked back to the professor. "Yes. We're twins," he said simply. There. He'd answered her question.
He looked back at his paper, unsure of what to do now. He just scanned his calculations and made sure they were correct as he waited for Hadley to continue. Was it just her or did the Hufflepuff boy... uh, whatever his name was... Adam or Elwin or something? seem oddly uncomfortable right about then. As he glanced toward his own sister. Yea, she definitely started something she totally hadn't intended to; sparks didn't need to fly during a lesson unless it was... no, scratch that. No sparks, ever.
Nodding at him, she moved onto the next. No point in lingering over unwanted topics. SPOILER!!: Wisteria Hartly Quote:
Originally Posted by Sherri Wisteria was embarrassed, she knew she didn't quite understand but she didn't think she was way off either... I guess I was. She crumbled up the parchment and was determined to get this right. She opened her book to chapter two, and suddenly it all seemed to make sense to her. She re-wrote he previous phrases:
Athletic 1+2+7+3+5+2+9+3= 32
Caring 3+1+9+9+5+6= 33
Clumsy 3+3+3+1+7= 17
Loyal 3+6+7+1+3= 20
Bookworm 2+6+6+2+5+6+9+4= 40
One of my favorite wizards is Gandolf.
(6+5+5)+(6+6)+(4+7)+(6+1+4+6+9+9+4+5)+(5+9+8+1+9+4 +1)+(9+1)+(7+1+5+4+6+3+6)=151
She raised her hand, "Professor, was this what you were looking for." She felt a bit better about this set of answers. Turning back instead toward the sound of Professor being called again, she looked toward the young Gryffindor who'd been having trouble before. "Much closer to what I'm looking for," Fina agreed, as she took a closer look at the calculations. "Except for a few minor miscalculations with athletic, clumsy, and caring. H is an 8 value, not seven. You completely skipped the value of 'm'. And G is a seven, not a six."
She paused, glancing over the statement as well. "Oh and favorite. T is a 2, not a 4. But I think your whole addition might be off slightly more too." SPOILER!!: Captain Bennett" Quote:

"I did...?" he absently questioned before turning back to his work. His eyes focusing on the two calculations in question ntocing they were in fact a little off.
When Professor Hadley came around again, Simon hoped he had gotten it right this time around. The seventh year smiling as she confirmed his work, nodding in answer. "Thank you professor," he said deciding to wait quietly until the next part. Hearing the Gryffindor Captain pipe again, she sent a brief smile his way in acknowledgement before deciding it was time to continue onward with the lesson. Making her way back up to the front of the room, "Right. So as I've just had you practice the process of transferring letters to numbers and thus to discover the numerical value of words and sentences, you're probably all wondering why or what is the meaning of this?" She paused, letting this sink in. "Honestly, compared to some of the other numbers we've calculated or WILL calculate in the future, there isn't much meaning to this so much as symbolism." Okay kids, throw stuff. Do it. Josephina could see it on their faces that they probably wanted to.
"Paragrams are more about symmetry, for instance, poetry with all lines having the same sum and construction of parallel passages. Some of you probably noticed during your calculations that some of your words ended up with the same values. That is exactly the kind of symmetry I'm talking about!" Hmm. Complicated much? It was about to get more so.
"Any questions?" She asked, glancing around the room. Because if they were all as beat as she was from the numbers, then she was game for assigning the homework and that was it.
