Then she heard the Professor tell them that they needed to pick somebody historical from their house and calculate their family name number. Hufflepuff. Who was famous and inspirational in Hufflepuff? Alyssa knew that most likely everybody would pick Helga Hufflepuff, so she decided to dig further back in history. Then she remembered Newton "Newt" Scamander. He wrote the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was still used by all the students in Hogwarts. She had just finished reading that book in the Hufflepuff study tables a couple of weeks ago.
Taking out a parchment paper, Alyssa quickly calculated his Family Name Number.
Alyssa was going to reduce it further before she remembered that 33 was a Master Number. Referring to her textbook she wrote down what the number represented.
Alyssa realized that the Newt Scamander's family name number totally represented what he did in his life. His interests in beasts was encouraged by his own mother who bred Hippogriffs. He spent so much of his life travelling the globe, scouring for the existence of magical creatures all over the world. He just didn't keep all this knowledge to himself. He shared it will all the wizarding population. He spent his life dedicated to the study of magical beasts, Magizoology.
Alyssa wasn't sure whether she was supposed to provide her answer now, but raised her hand anyway and waited for the Professor to acknowledge her. And now was the time to walk around and check student's work. Noting Alyssa's hand raise first, Fina approached the third year and looked over her work. Scamander; interesting choice and she had to hand it to the girl for not picking the first to pop into her head, which likely would have been Helga.
And she even got the fact that Scamander had a Master Number. "Good, good." Quote:

Then he came across the name of Garrick Ollivander. He was Ravenclaw? But of course he would! That would make so much sense why his wands were the best.
Vickers started scribbling the famed wandmaker's name down, and started to do the calculations. When finished, he flipped open his Arthmancy book and noted down what the number equivalency meant....
Wow would you look at that...
Vickers raised his hand on the Professor's question "Professor, the Ravenclaw figure I selected is Garrick Ollivander. His family name number is 4, and it does fit him rather well because it was through hard work, thoroughness and self-discipline that he became the best wand maker this side of the Magical World. "
Another non-ordinary historical figure was selected. Ollivander. "Yes, yes, good job and I do quite agree with you that his Family Name number was quite fitting for what he became in this world." Quote:

Which is why come color returned to her face when she heard about just whose number they were going to be calculating right now. Someone from Gryffindor House? Kurumi's thoughts instantly went to one person who was actually still at the school and played an important role.
With the faintest of smiles tickling the corners of her lips, Kurumi set to working on her calculations.
Setting her quill down, Kurumi thought for a moment. That seemed to be rather fitting for what she knew about Sir Nicholas, but she couldn't help but laugh at the mention of spirit in the description since, well, he WAS a spirit now.
Hey, had she just laughed? Even if it had been soft and mostly to herself, she had in fact smiled. Just as long as calculations stayed in this direction, she would manage to get out of this lesson tear-free. She didn't speak just yet, however, choosing to remain in quiet contemplation for a while more. Hearing a subtle laugh, Fina looked over to the source and found Kurumi being curiously quiet. Approaching the fifth year, she glanced at her parchment, hoping to see an inkling of what was funny but noticed something else instead. Kurumi obviously was tired. "Uh.... for Porpington, the first 'O', you put a zero, rather than six..." But using one of the ghosts for their family name number; clever. Pity only half of them had confirmed family names. Quote:

Taking her quill, she started to write and count Snape family number
Then she asked Professor Hadley. "Is it correct, Professor?" "Quite right," she said nodding at the young snake who used the quite famous Potions Master from the 20th century. SPOILER!!: Those who used Helga Hufflepuff Quote:

Right below her acrostic she put her calculation:
Amelia double checked the calculation in her head now and then was sure that she had done it correctly. She now waited for the next instructions. Quote:

With a person in mind, Ella began her calculations.
Then when she had calculated a number, Ella pulled her book out.

Book Interesting Minerva thought. Noting the few Hufflepuffs who of course did choose to use Helga, she nodded when the all seemed to come up with 8. SPOILER!!: Ravenclaw Family Name Number Quote:

Well, the "artistic flair" part seemed accurate, since creativity was one of the Ravenclaw traits, as did "looking for what is possible." One could also say that she served her students by bestowing them with knowledge. Silvia didn't know that much about Ravenclaw's personality though, and, scanning the descriptions of the other numbers, she thought the number seven would have fit quite well. Quote:

Rowena Ravenclaw.. so he picked up his quill and set to work..
He then opened up his book to look up the meaning of this number
He read this and wondered if this applied to the founder.. if Rowena Ravenclaw was like this.. as he read it he realised one other thing.. this may or may not apply to the founder of his house.. but it somewhat applied to Harvey himself.. he was always concerned for others, he too had an emotional nature. He was very generous, yeah he always felt that he wanted to help all that were around him and many of them knew this and HAD in fact experienced him helping them.. so this was 50% or so him.. well.. he didnt expect that now.. well he had done it.. he then waited for the professor to move on with the lesson.. but he couldnt help but study that meaning further as he waited..

But first she needed to think of a historical figure in her house. Ravenclaw. The best house there was. Obviously. Hmm. Rowena Ravenclaw would do. She was nice. Indiana wrote her name onto the top of her parchment, under the title of family number. Okay. Now, she set about doing the calculation.
Hmm. Now did the interpretation suit Rowena. Indiana mused, looking down, and reading what it was. Maybe. Generosity surely would. Rowena had been a ravenclaw after all, so like Ravenclaws must be generous, they were pretty epic. She wasn't too sure about the rest, but some of them definetly suited the Ravenclaw house. So things were good right? And then the students who used Ravenclaw, she glanced at their work, nodding again. Nine for Ravenclaw. Her thoughts wondered briefly for a moment about Slytherin and Gryffindor, but she figured, someone would do those, right? Maybe. It would be amusing if one was 6 and the other was 7 though. Quote:

Even if she was curious about what Professor Hadley had thought about their acrostics, there was no reason to go back to that. Not when they were finally doing something she thought was relevant.
It was definitely interesting that they'd been asked to calculate the numbers for a famous person from their House, though. She knew exactly who she could focus on, although indirectly she knew she was probably one of the only people who could do the assignment and still be focusing on her actual family as well. She didn't like thinking about that, since she felt like it inherantly meant she should have been better at certain subjects than she was, but at least she wouldn't have to fall back on the Founders. And she could always just come up with another excuse if she was asked why she'd picked that person. Picking up her quill again, she started doing her calculations underneath her previous work.
Glancing at her textbook finally, she copied down the description that was assigned to the number eight, then just sat there looking at it for a while. Superficially, she didn't really see how it related. Not to most of what she remembered, both from books and what her mother could tell her. The longer she looked at it, though, there were definitely parts of it that fit. And there was a name she hadn't read about in AWHILE. Fancourt. Perpetua Fancourt. Inventor of the lunascope. Nodding at Stella though and her calculations, she then moved on. Quote:

They were supposed to pick an important former member of their house? Who to pick, who to pick? He had finally come to terms that he was going to have to stay here at Hogwarts so in the end he had in fact read all there was - or at least all the he could find - on Hogwarts. And therefore also on Hufflepuff. Did the Fat Friar have a last name? Was it Friar?
In the end Lewis picked Artemisia Lufkin. Mainly because she had been his first chocolate frog card ever and he liked her story. Soooo, now on to the calculations.
Well, that interpretation seemed quite appropriate to the first female Minister of Magic. Another name she hadn't heard in awhile, but very important female figure. Fina nodded at Rasting and his calculations, which were quite accurate for Lufkin. Quote:

Mr... something Woodcroft. Oh good! At least she remembered his last name!
Pulling her textbook closer, she opened it and started working.
She then looked at what it meant.
Hm. Okay. Now wait for further instructions! Ah, the Hogsmeade Founder!!! Good thinking Sophie, Fina nodded as she looked over her calculations. "One thing though, is that Woodcroft actually is master number 11, which has a separate meaning from the ordinary two." Quote:

Fat Friar
6+1+2+6+9+9+1+9
=43 =4+3
=7
Meaning: You inherit wisdom to be able to research and analise, you are investigative. And another student was done, to which Fina's eyebrow creased a bit. She was hoping that it wouldn't be attempted for the other two ghosts, but alas.... "Per Fat Friar, yes, 7 would be correct, except I don't believe Friar is his surname. I believe that was his first name." And 'Fat' was just a nickname he obtained over the years. "Unfortunately there's no historical evidence as to what the Friar's full name was, which is why calculating his family name number isn't really accurate. Same could be said for the Bloody Baron." Nickname again. Quote:

amazingly optimistic
Proper to a fault
As Justin listed a few things the professor said they'd be exploring the meanings of their surnames...and of course calculations would be needed to do so.
Then they had to pick someone who was from there houses...of histrorical import... So, Justin thought of only one person....a distant cousin that would've been great if only not taken too soon. On his parchement he wrote out his calculation.
Then he opened his textbook to find out what the meaning was. as he read along he wrote that down on his sheet of parchement as well. Seeing another student set their quill down, Fina approached and glanced over their work. Diggory. The famous Hufflepuff who died during the Triwizard Tournament that was just over 80 years ago. She nodded at Justin's work. Four was correct for the Diggory family. Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassandra Taylor didnt want to fall back on the founder so she thought about it and remembered that Laverne de Montmorency was a ravenclaw. She smiled.
Taylor didnt know what 2 stood for so she looked it up in her textbook and copied it down into her notes. Seeing another student finish up, Fina approached the young Ravenclaw and looked over her work, impressed at the young girl's use of such a long name. "Except that de Montemorency is actually Family Name Number of 11. Because 11 is a master number. See how before you reduced your total to a two, you had an 11?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Macavity Professor Hadley confirmed what he knew though adding where to get the numbers from to assign to the letters. Well he knew that...he just hadn't mentioned the obvious. At least obvious to him as one of those older student who had been dealing with the class for a year or more already.
When they moved into the actual calculations, Gideon had thought they might be working on their own surnames but instead they were instructed to work on a famous person from Gryffindor House. Thinking on the idea, he wondered if his Great Grand Aunt would be acceptable to use. Not that she wasn't famous but that she was indeed family. He finally figured he might as well try it out and of Hadley didn't approve he could do another. So picking up his quill once more, the fifth year went to work, careful to spell the last name correctly.
Four...that was the number he got with his math. So Gideon looked to the textbook for the reading associated with the number four under the family name number chapter. Finding it, he read it through, thinking on how it fit.
Seeing another student not reading through the textbook, Fina approached the Gryffindor and looked over his calculations. McGonagall. And yes, he was right on with his math. Quote:

Oakey wasn't to keen on Historical Figures but had remembered Granny Gunter always talking about how her husband always was such a history buff and that he knew everything there was to know about Grogan Stump a former Minister of Magic who belonged to the Hufflepuff house.
Oakey set his quill down and mentally laughed at the thought that this would fit any Minister of Magic. And another Minister of Magic used. Also a Hufflepuff. See, whoever said Hufflepuffs didn't produce GOOD, VALUABLE leaders to society, was SADLY MISTAKEN. Honestly.
She nodded at Oakey and his calculations for Grogan Stump. An 8. Quite right. Quote:

She had one that was very relevant to Arithmancy. Oh, that seemed right. Universal truths counted as the properties of the number 7 too, right? Seeing another student finish writing, Fina looked over at her parchment and noted that she not only calculated for Bridget Wenlock, but for her own last name too. Hmph. Well she wasn't going to correct the girl on the fact that she got her own surname's number wrong. That's what she gets for jumping ahead.
But she calculated Wenlock's number; FINALLY, a Hufflepuff did so! And she even recognized the fact that the famous Arithmancer had a Master Number! "Good, good. On Bridget Wenlock's family name number anyway." Quote:

Head lowered, the blonde was scribbling down on a piece of parchment. At some times, he'd stop writing as he made a mental calculation before he continued to write.
After setting down his quill, Hades pulled his textbook and flipped to chapter twenty seven. Number eleven... Let see...
"You inherit the ability to uplift, encourage, and inspire others. Your family name brings with it a sensitivity to others and the desire for spiritual living. You will learn from life through many tests that illuminate certain universal truths."
That sounded accurate when it comes to the Peverell brothers. For a moment, Hadley's eyes grew wide in surprise as there was yet another historical figure with the number 11 as their Family Name Number. But upon looking closer at the Slytherin's work, she shook her head. "You missed the second 'L' in your calculation." So you know, not a Master Number after all. Quote:
Originally Posted by AlwaysSnapesGirl A famous Ravenclaw in history, hm? Vashti had no trouble thinking of several, not including the obvious Rowena and Helena Ravenclaw, but she wasn't sure which of them to pick. There were many interesting and important former Ravenclaws, but she really didn't want to calculate all of their Family Name Numbers. So after a bit of thought, she decided to pick Millicent Bagnold.
That definitely seemed to fit with what she knew of the woman. Dipping her quill in ink again, Vashti wrote down how the number's meaning fit.
That last part didn't really apply to the meaning of the number, but Vashti felt it ought to be added anyway. Because it was true. Looking over at Vashti's work, Fina nodded at the girl's use of another historical figure who was Minister of Magic, this one though, not a Hufflepuff. And just for the sake of it - because it was longer than many - she even read her interpretation and had to crack at a smile at the Ravenclaw throwing the best parties bit. For some reason or other, her inner competitive side wanted to hold challenge to that, even if she didn't voice it. Instead she just nodded and moved onto the next student. Quote:

Tayla decided to use her house founder's last name. She loved being a Gryffindor and was curious to know what the meaning of it's family name number would be. She took her quill and started to calculate. SPOILER!!: Tayla's Arithmancy Notebook; page one

After finishing her calculations, she consulted her textbook. Then she raised her hand. "Professor, if my calculations are correct, the family name number for 'Gryffindor' is five. According to our textbook, a five reveals that," she paused and started to read. "You inherit a belief that you shouldn't be fenced in, for you are a free spirit. Restrictions, limitations, routine challenge you. Travel and change are easy for you, and you are innately curious and a risk taker." Tayla looked up again and continued to speak. "I'm not sure if it describes Godric Gryffindor completely well, but I think him being a free spirit and a risk taker is quite true." Ah and there was her student to calculate the family name number for Godric. Now what about Salazar? But alas, Godric's family name number was disappointingly NOT a 6 or 7. "Five is correct," Fina nodded at the girl's calculations. Quote:
Originally Posted by hpluvr037 So... she didn't want them to use their own names yet? Well. She's right about at least one thing. Hufflepuff has become a second family to me. In a way he never could've expected. So, who are some famous Hufflepuffs? Obviously Professor Longbottom, Cedric Diggory.. Helga Hufflepuff. But he wanted to use someone a bit less obvious. Oo, how about Newt Scamander?
A bit unsure of how to spell his name, he pulled out his Care of Magical Creatures textbook, which he happened to have with him. Yup, Scamander. He scribbled this name at the top of his parchment. Alright, now to assign numbers.
He perused the discussion in the text about what this meant. Well, his parents did instill in him a drive to learn all he could and do a good job in hi work. The observation, analysis, and perfectionism bit was all part of taking care of his hundreds of Abraxans. Though I'm not sure, then, if it comes with the job or from the family...
He wasn't sure how he felt about sharing the results aloud. He didn't mind if Hadley saw, but he wasn't going to blab it about for all the hear. This felt more... personal than usual. Wow, maybe I feel the need for privacy more than I thought! He laughed despite himself. Quote:
Originally Posted by hpluvr037 Keefer looked over his calculations again and realized he had made a mistake. Shoot, I assigned R to 1... it's supposed to be a 9... So it was time to start over again. Which was a shame really, because the number he had found fit his family fairly well.
He looked at the new meaning. Well, I do see helping others to be a priority.. which is probably why I got Sorted in Hufflepuff... And our family is definitely family-oriented! Another helped toward his Sorting, most likely. Though our family is pretty chill. I wouldn't say there is a stubborn streak anywhere, and we also aren't very vociferous about strong opinion. All in all, he thought the first number suited them better.
Then he happened to glance at the heading of his work. " Scamander. Wooooow... I was interpreting this in light of my own family both times." His cheeks flushed, he suddenly felt quite stupid.
Upon further reflection, he felt that a lot of the analysis he just did could be generalized. Many of these are Hufflepuff qualities, so I'm not surprised Scamander would be here. Family orientation, the importance of helping others, even problem solving skills. Yeah, a lot of it fits!
Semi-redemption! As Keefer didn't look quite done by the time she was about to get around to looking at his parchment, she nodded and passed him by, letting him work just a bit longer. But this time, he looked done and she glanced at over at his parchment. Another Scamander was used, which she recalled from Alyssa's parchment of that he had a master number.
Something that Keefer failed to recognize. Even with his corrections.
"Uh... Keefer.... with your calculations, before you reduced to a 6, the answer was 33, which I do believe is a master number." Believe? She knew it. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Sierra looked from Gert to the professor as both of them started to explain the Family Name Number. It sounded easy enough, which was the good thing about Arithmancy. Sierra didn't think there were many good things about the subject, but at least the calculating part was easy.
Even if it did take years to do...
Okay, so she needed someone in her house, someone really old... Remembering one of the portraits hanging up around the castle, Sierra began to calculate the Family Name Number for Elizabeth Burke. B U R K E
2 3 9 2 5
2 + 3 + 9 + 2 + 5= 21
2 + 1 = 3
Sierra double-checked her calculations then looked back to see what a number three meant. THREE (3): You inherit a fun-loving, optmistic nature, a sense of humor, and a creative spirit.
Hmm. Sierra really didn't think the number three fit in with what she'd heard about Elizabeth Burke. Supposedly, Burke was a pureblood who encouraged other purebloods to make fun of Muggles and call them a mudblood. I don't think a number three fits in well with her personality... Somehow, I just don't think many people would agree to her being fun-loving, optimitic, having a great sense of humor, or having a creative spirit. Seeing another student set their quill down and re-reading notes/textbook, Fina approached the fourth year and glanced down at Sierra's parchment, half hoping to see Salazar Slytherin there, but disappointed when not. It was a historical figure. Someone different. Burke. Elizabeth Burke.
And her calculations were correct, to which Sierra received a similar nod as she'd given out before. Alas, seeing as everyone - or nearly everyone - had done their calculations for a historical figure, Fina figured it time to move on, which she walked back up to the front.
"So now that it seems like many of you have figured out the Family Name number," Fina paused, waiting for any objections to this. "Which represents your inner subconscious to life, as seen in one's surname, we're going to move onto another number which is somewhat related. Keep those historical figures you calculated the family name number for in mind though." They would use it for the new number. "This number is indicative of your greatest potential for self-actualization as you journey through life. The textbook says it to be related to one of your core numbers, but I actually find that it goes better with your Family Name Number." Greatest potential.... inner subconscious.... it was all related, yes?
"So any guesses as to what number this is?"
