Opening her textbook on chapter two, Sophie started doing the exercise.

Text Cut: Sophie's calculus stuff

Sophie put down her quill and looked around, trying to see her classmates work and see if hers was right. She decided to ask the professor herself. "Professor, did I do it right?" she asked raising her hand.

Hearing a small voice asking if her work was correct, Josephina hurried in the direction of the small Hufflepuff. Looking it over, she smiled. "Yes, my dear, you did."

SPOILER!!: Ira's parchment

So her soul urge number was 9.

After rectifying her mistake, Ira looked around on what to do next.

"Much better, dear," Fina said as she passed by the young Gryffindor again.

SPOILER!!: Ira's parchment

Woots! She got her life path number.. And it was a magic number 11!

Then she showed both her parchments containing her two calculations to the professor to verify it.

And then the girl proceeded to calculate her life path, to which Fina looked it over, shaking her head. "It's correct, yes, but please do try to use PEDMAS next time, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." For one, it's a lot easy to add single digits than trying to add two digit numbers.

SPOILER!!: Louisa's Parchment

Circling the result, Louisa opened her textbook and searched for what the number eight indicated.

SPOILER!!: Louisa's Urge Number

What the heck. Louisa frowned at this. "Tis not true," she murmured to herself. Well, it was shocking to the girl to read her 'heart desires' written on an Arithmancy book and suggesting that she was... not into friendship or love affairs.

Pout.

Seeing a pout in the direction of a Ravenclaw, Josephina hurried over to investigate. Hazel eyes scanned the parchment and almost immediately, she discovered a couple of errors. "Two things, dear. In your first name, you missed a vowel." Because Louisa had a lot of vowels in it. "And in your middle name, the Y does act as a vowel, I believe." So in other words, if you're unhappy with your number, it's probably because it's not yours.

He wrinkled his eyebrows. What about the last bit of his name? The third? He raised his hand.

"Professor? I'm technically Alex Greingoth the third, do I add that bit to my name?" he asked. Uggh. Couldn't he just add a 3 to the end of the equation and be done with it?

Hearing a question from one of her Hufflepuffs, Fina looked up at Alex and blinked. "Um... well, I don't think the third is really part of your full name, is it? I mean is it on your birth certificate? What do you mean by technically?" Of course it was only two extra numbers in the case of the soul urge number anyway, by adding those two words on ....

Her lifepath number was 11!! The magic number!! Her soul urge number was 10

She showed her calculations to the professor

Seeing another student waiting for her to check her work, Josephina approached the Ravenclaw's desk and pondered it a moment before repeating once more, "The Life Path is correct, yes, but please do try to use PEDMAS next time, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." But as for the soul urge... "Your soul urge number is incorrect though. You've mistaken the U for a 2, whereas on the Number System chart, it's actually 3."

Feeling a little tired, from her lack of sleep, Ness didn't pay her full attention, which was why she kept rather quiet during the questions. It was when they started with the real practical stuff, that she started to concentrate properly. She listened and watched as the professor demonstrated how to do the calculations, and then she attempted doing the sum.

Text Cut: Nessie's partchment.

Once she had finished she stared at her partchment for a few moments. o__O "I must have done something wrong." she mumbled to herself quietly, because she didn't agree one bit with what her soul number had to say about her. She was far from being any sort of leader, she didn't expect much of her friends ~~or at least she didn't think she did~~ and as for teams, she didn't mind them at all. Then the last bit kind of hit her...that part was kind of true. She did push many people away all because she wanted to protect herself from repeating the same mistakes. She put her lips into a pot as she thought about her soul number in more detail, and come to think of it, it did, only a bit describe her.

Now onto her next calculation, this was even more confusing as they had to use their birthdates instead of using names or letters, which Nessie somehow found easier. Right, focus, Ness bit her lip, picked up her quil and then began with further calculations.

Text Cut: Nessie's Partchment 2

Now this was even worse than before, a frown formed on Nessie's face as she read what her life path was. This number five may have suited her just a little, but she wanted to get the number three, that was her destined fate, to be a dancer or something artistic like that. Thats what she wanted nothing else, and whatever this thing was saying about her she didn't agree with it.

Looking up at the Professor and then back down at her partchment, she lifed up her quill and 'fixed' up her calculations.

Text Cut: Nessie's final partchment.

"Thats how it should be." she murmured to herself. "No one needs to know I was born two days after." Oops..the Professor didn't hear that right? Nope Nessie was sure she didn't.

Now to somehow keep the partchment away from Hadley, Nessie pouted once again and watched the Arithmancy Professor anxiously.

Oh good, someone who actually knew how to use PEDMAS. Nodding in satisfaction at the first number calculations, Fina frowned at the girl's Life Path Number. For one, the one she crossed out was incorrect, and two, when she redid it, she changed the day of her birth. "Um... Ness? Your addition is wrong no matter which day you were born on. And please, I'm trusting you to use your correct day of birth and not change it to get a certain life path number. That defeats the purpose of Arithmancy." She gave the redhead a stern look, basically telling her to do it correctly.

(1+0=1)

SPOILER!!: soul urge number

Daichi FROWNED as he read his soul urge number. This was absolutely NOT like him! the Slytherin held his hand in the air as he called for the Professor. Maybe he had done something wrong. "Professor Hadley!" he asked as he waved his hand a little to get her attention before pointing at his number.

"I don't think this is right... i don't want to control anyone or am i cold and distant. And i joined the Slytherin Quidditch team in my first and second year so...that part about staying away from teams also can't be true" more frowning before he looked up. "And i'm not clever or indepentend.. Kurumi even needed to walk with me when we wanted to ask the groundkeeper about duckies because i couldn't do it alone!"he pouted his lips before he widened his eyes. "Err...y-you did not hear that , right?"

**Life path number**
May 5th 2063

(5+5+2+0+6+3= 21)
(2+1= 3)

SPOILER!!: Life path number

Now THIS was more like it. Daichi re-read the answer to his number and felt a smile creeping up on his lips. "This one looks much better, Professor" He said and placed the quill back on the desk and waited for the rest of the class to be done calculating.

Hearing someone call her name from across the room, Josephina perked up in shock and hurried over to the young slytherin to hear his dilemma. And as sad as it sounded, "Unfortunately, your calculations are both correct, but I am going to advise you ONCE MORE to use PEDMAS, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." Seriously, she needed to start deducting points for those who DIDN'T use it and still chose to add up those large numbers.

She then reviewed her Arithmance textbook to see what the Number 9 revealed about her.

Text Cut: Definition of NINE (9) as Soul Urge Number

Once Alyssa had recalculated and found her Soul Urge Number and what it revealed, she raised her hand to show it to the Professor. "Professor, is my Soul Urge Number correct now?"

Hearing another request to review her work, Fina strode by the desk of Alyssa again and nodded as she glanced it over. "Much better, dear."

Turning to a blank piece of paper in her notebook, she started to record her Life Path Number:

Finished with her calculation, she now started working on her Soul Urge Number:

She looked over her calculations then showed them to Professor Hadley so that she could double check them.

And another student was done. Looking over the girl's work, she nodded in approval. "Perfect." As it should be considering the year of the girl and the fact that this was basic stuff.

However once she saw the example on the board, she understood how to calculate it but was unsure how to use the number once they got to it. So she went to work on her parchment, planning on asking her question later.

Text Cut: Lily's parchment

Lily couldn't remember which one was which but she would figure it out. Raising her hand, Lily asked, "Umm, did I do my calculations right? and which one is my soul one, and which one is my life path one?" Lily was definitely confused about which was which and why they used these to predict what they did in life or what day was a good day for them... So all she could do was wait patiently for the teacher to check her work, and maybe explain some of this stuff to the class.

Seeing a hand-raise, Fina approached the young Ravenclaw and looked over her work. "The Life path number is the one with your birthday, and yes, that one is correct. The soul urge is the one where you use the vowels in your full name. It's almost correct. You've mistaken the number value for Y in your first name; it should be a 7, not a six."

Both 4s. Well, they seemed to do a decent job of describing her; cautious and organized, always following the rules. But scanning over the meanings of the different numbers in the textbook, Silvia felt like the number 7 described her a lot, as she enjoyed learning and liked to spend a lot of time by herself. But at least she didn't get a number that was completely opposite of what she felt she was like; plus these were not the only two numbers in arithmancy, so if she was lucky maybe she would find a few sevens in her numbers.

Passing by another Ravenclaw's desk, Josephina nodded in approval as she checked the girl's work.

Text Cut: Keefer's Kalculations 2.0

He circled the final number 9. He rifled through his book until he found the appropriate entry for Life Path numbers.

Woah, this was a lot to think about. So how did his soul urge description fit in...?

And it was back to the captain again; looking it over as he worked on his life path number, she nodded in approval, as she looked to her prefect next to him who was just finishing up....

Quote:

But...they had to focus on calculations now, didn't they? Okay.

SPOILER!!: Treyen's parchment

So, apparently, he stayed away from teams? That was actually funny, considering he had tried out for the Quidditch team. And, truth be told, he didn't expect anything from his friends...so as long as they were there.

Soul Urge Number, we don't agree.

As far as the Life Path stuff...there might be some rightness about it. Yet if he had calculated this at the beginning of the school year, well, this would've been wrong, especially with the 'optimistic' part.

Scanning over her prefect's parchment, she nodded at his calculations. They were, of course, good. He'd come quite a ways with the subject and she had to admit that she was proud of him.

SNORT.

THAT wasn't happening. But then, who was Hadley to say what her full name was? No one knew save for Treyen so........

Text Cut: Avoiding unnecessarily long posts

And what did those mean? Ellie wasn't copying down the meanings onto her paper. That was laborious and unnecessary. That's what the textbook was FOR, no?

So, apparently, she just liked making people happy, according to her 'Soul Urge' number. How ridiculous, right? When did she ever care if someone else was happy about what she did?

A lot, kinda........Or, at least she cared a LOT about getting those seven OWLs for her mum, right? She even went the extra mile and passed eight in hopes of her mum forgiving her lack of Potions OWL.

Anyway..... Ellie flipped a page and looked at her 'Life Path' number. Leadership. Blah, blah, blah, she was Captain, was she not? The girl was beginning to think the number creepily accurate until her gaze fell upon the word 'bookstore'. As a possible career choice.

She had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.

And speaking of people who came a long way, Josephina passed by the desk of the Ravenclaw Captain next and looked over her work. "Good, good," she nodded in approval at the girl's calculations.

Oh, Practice? Is that what they're doing now? A'right.

Trav stopped shaking his quick, dipped it in the ink well and put it to parchment.

Text Cut: Trav's Calculations

He quickly looked up in the textbook both number. First, Life path. Lead... blah blah blah...Money... Blah blah blah... Not an Easy Path... BORING!

He skipped through the pages towards the Soul Urge. One Word hit him before any other... 'Romantic'... "HA!" He laughed loudly, before lowering his head. "Ahem... Sorry" he said almost inaudibly.
Travis Went back over his answers a few times with his quill to make them stand out. That was pretty Simple, right. He didn't really feel like checking them again, so he just started doodling in the corner of his parchment.

Yup, he was gonna draw the Zebra EVER!

Hearing a rather loud laugh, Josephina turned in the direction of a young boy and went to look over his calculations... good ... good... oh no, wait... "Um.. Your Life Path Number, you've miscalculated that one. Which is why I recommend you use PEDMAS to reduce each component to a single digit before you add them together. As you did with your soul urge. So yea, check that calculation on your life path and you're good to go."

Harvey set to work on his calculations on his parchment

Text Cut: Harvey's Calculations

He looked into his textbook and wrote down the meanings for these two numbers onto his parchment and he then sat back.. hoping that he had his calculations right.. he then decided to check his calculations. Yes they seemed to be right.. so he sat back and waited for the lesson to move on.

And then onto look at another's work; looking over, she nodded in approval at the second year. Another one who had the same soul urge and life path numbers.

SPOILER!!: Louisa's Parchment

Circling number nine, she opened her textbook and stared down at the paragraph connected to her result:
"Your path will lead you to understand the interconnectedness of all things. It's a path of universal love that learns compassion and tolerance. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - tolerance for all and the importance of caring for each other. You're a born healer and your healing may take the form of writing, composing, painting, or sculpting - reaching others by truly connecting to them. You'll be learning how to let go, to surrender the self for greater good. Career/vocation options include the arts, international business, education, and health - any line of work designed to help, heal, or humanize."

Blink blink. That was... a bit contradicting with her soul urge thing. She furrowed her eyebrows. Those two paragraphs were trying to pass her some kind of message. A complicated one at that, too. She put down her quill and continued to move her gaze from one paragraph to the other, trying to grasp the keywords and connecting them together before trying to fit them in her life.

Back to Louisa again, who had decided to start work on her life path. This time though, she was correct, to which Josephina nodded at her with approval.

Glenn fastened her blonde curly hair in a bun at the nape of her neck so that it wouldn't fall in her eyes and distract her, then got her quill and scribbled inside her parchment journal.

SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal

Glenn reread the definition of her Soul Urge number and frowned, Glenn raised her hand "Uh- Professor? Have I done mine correctly? This doesn't sound like me..." She read it a couple more times. Well, She guessed it was just a little like her. Cold and distant though? That wasn't her. While she waited for Professor Hadley, she wrote up her next one in her journal

SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal 2

Glenn smiled when she read this one. She had always loved travelling, much like her father. She also hated routines, Glenn liked doing something different every day, she couldn't stand getting up at the same time every day, to sit at the same desk and do the same work every day. School was different, she learned something new and met new people every day so it wasn't a routine. She was starting to like Arithmancy, Glenn raised her hand again "Professor Hadley, is this correct?"She smiled and doodled idly in the corner of her journal while she waited for the next instruction.

ooc: Hehe, I totally kept referring to Lockhartian's post to make sense of this

Hearing another innocent voice asking her to check her work, Josephina strode over to the young second year and looked over her work. "Your soul urge is technically correct. Except well, your surname is tricky with that Y. I'm not sure I would count it as a vowel." She paused contemplating. "But then your life path... you got almost to the end and then when you went and added up the three components, you've made a small adding mistake..." 8 plus 2 plus 3 did not equal 14, after all.

No point in meerly repeating stuff over and over again, something his classmates didn't appear to believe in. The Gryffindor simply took notes, adding to what he had for previous years so his knowledge of the topic was all in one place. Finally they had their first calculations to do and the 5th year went to work on mapping out his Soul's Urge number.

Once he had his number, Gideon turned the pages of his textbook to the appropriate chapter on the subject. His finger scrolling down the page for number 8 and the boy making a slight face as he read it. Soooo not him.

Seeing an older boy making a face, Josephina strode over to investigate the boy's calculations. "What's wrong? It looks correct to me."

She then looked in her text book to see what it said for number 3.

Wow! That sounded a lot like Ella! She smiled. Well that's freakishly accurate...Okay, now on to my life path number.

Life Path Number

Alright, 4..let's see

Ella looked up from her textbook. Ehhh...Well I guess being a teacher could be kinda cool She laid down her quill and waited for further instructions.

Seeing another student was done, she walked over to look at her work and smiled. It was refreshing after all to see so many young hufflepuffs seem to be actually getting Arithmancy. "Good job," Fina nodded.

She then started on her Life Path.

Minerva raised her hand. "Professor could you check my work?" then she noticed Butterfly looked frustrated. "Could you use some help, is that ok Professor if I help her?"

Walking over toward Minnie as she asked her to check her work, she looked it over.... perusing the girl's parchment. Soul urge looked good... but ... "Your Life path... I'm not sure that I really follow your calculations for that one. As in, I can see your year of birth, but your month and day, seem unclear to me where you included them in the calculation." She smiled gratefully though when the second year volunteered to help the Slytherin in need of assistance.

Text Cut: Life Path Number

Once that was done, she set her quill down for a moment and looked in the textbook to find out what a "five" meant. The descriptions were always the hardest for her to remember.

Text Cut: Meaning

"Change is key"? True as that might be, she didn't really like change. She didn't welcome it when it came, especially not the big change that was coming when June rolled around.

"Championing freedom"? She just...bit her lip at that, not really sure what to make of it.

Progressive, super-resourceful...equally good at many different trades? She liked the first part, but the second part...she wasn't sure about that. So moving on.

Career/vocation options! Yes, she needed these!

...Er. Public, advertising, publicity, or sales? Yeah, none of those sounded appealing. Sigh. Travel though...she would definitely like that.

Anyway. Moving on to the Heart's Desire/Soul Urge one.

Text Cut: The Heart's Desire/Soul Urge Number

And now for the meaning...

Text Cut: Meaning

This one...was nice. She wasn't sure it was completely accurate, but it was nice to think that it might be. It was better than her Life Path one anyway.

Not that she really felt she needed to check the Head Girl's work, she walked by anyway, just for the sake of it and scanned her parchment, nodding in approval.

I want to be the bossor at least have some sort of power in the world. It is difficult for me to comprhend the emotions of others and prefer to stick to business over emotional affairs. I want to feel more important in what I perceive to be the real world.In matters of the heart and friendships, I place business over emotional closeness. I should look for a strong capable mate who equals my ambitions. But I'm usually too busy for romance and true friendships.

"They're both correct now," Josephina said, passing by a young Hufflepuff's desk. "But you should know that it would probably be easier if you don't write ALL the numbers down for each letter. Just the vowels. This way you wouldn't accidentally add in the wrong number. You can just put a dash or something in place of the number." Just a tidbit.

Picking up a piece of chalk, Kurumi wrote as neatly as she could in medium sized numbers on the board.

Dusting off her hands and setting the chalk down, Kurumi returned to her seat.

Picking up her quill again, Kurumi began to work on her soul urge number calculations. First things first, writing down her full name. It was times like this that she was pleased Japan didn't have a tradition of giving middle names - although, she was pretty sure Professor Hadley had marked her down during her first term for not using her full name on an assignment when she had in fact done so. Now, it was a matter of whether or not the Y in her name worked as a vowel or not.

Leaning back in her seat a bit, Kurumi whispered her last name without the Y and with it. No, it had to be a vowel. Without it there her name sounded nothing like what it was. Vowels only, remember that. Just to make sure that she didn't make a silly mistake, Kurumi assigned a value of 0 to all the consonants. Visual cues were always helpful.

Kurumi read over the description and nodded every now and again. It seemed to fit...minus beauty being considered something very important to her. Sure, Kurumi did value it to some degree...but it wasn't in the top five things she thought about when she was making a list of her personal values.

Setting her quill down, Kurumi waited for Professor Hadley to double check her work and for whatever came next.

"You... still ended up with the correct answer, but you do realize you added the I from Kurumi as part of your last name as well... right? So you got an extra 9 in there..." You know, just an FYI. But since 27 and 36 are both multiples of 9, it made no difference. In this case.

SPOILER!!: Life Path

And then he looked over the Life Path number. Doormat? Like hell he'd ever be a doormat! All of the career options sounded like total snoozers, but luckily he had his career path figured out for himself - no numbers needed.

He tossed his quill to the side for now and looked up to see Kurumi at the blackboard. Can you say.. Hermione Granger incarnate? He smiled a bit anyhow because it was cool how good she was at EVERYTHING. Everything related to academics, at least.

Seeing that a certain Paulie Foster had rested his quill to the side, she strode by to have a peek at his parchment, despite him not having raised his hand. She nodded though in approval and then moved on....registering faintly on the fact that he was seated next to a certain Ravenclaw.
