Picking up her quill again to fix her notes, Kurumi couldn't help but look up the number 0's meaning - mostly for her own curiosity. "Emptiness, change, decay, nothing..." she read from her textbook.

Yep, that sounded about right...

Wind knocked out of her sails and any hint of a smile that had been on her face removed, Kurmi lazily went to fix her calculations.
SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9
A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H----I
J---K---L---M---N---O---P---Q---R
S---T---U---V---W---X---Y---Z

Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington
(4+5)+(4+9+4+1+7)+(7+0 6 +9+7+9+5+7+2+6+5)=
(9)+(25)+(57 63) = 9 + 7 + 12 9 = 9+7+9 = 19 25 = 1+9 2+5 = 10 7 = 1

ONE (1): You inherit an independent spirit, a forceful nature, a strong will, and the ability to come up with original ideas.
SEVEN (7): You inherit a desire for knowledge, you value learning, and you respect quality, facts, and theories, as well as a need for spiritual understanding. Your family traits will be those of observation, analysis, perfectionism, and the desire for privacy

When she had finished, Kurumi set her quill down once more and sighed. This number seemed rather ironic as well. Perhaps, it meant that Sir Nicholas was actually right where he was supposed to be as a ghost? His greatest growth coming with spiritual understanding and all that...you couldn't get much more spiritual than being a spectrum, could you?

Kurumi looked up again when Professor Hadley asked another question of the class, but once again found herself too wrapped up in negative thoughts to feel like answering. It certainly sounded like your Growth Number, or the Key, from the way the Arithmancy professor was describing it. It was said to be related to one's Life Path Number which was part of the core.

Kurumi quietly wrote down Growth Number on her parchment and then set it back down on the table.
Watching Kurumi as she fixed her calculations, she frowned at the silence. Totally unlike the fifth year and though Fina suspected stuff was going on in her head, she knew better than to call the girl out on it in the middle of the lesson.

So instead she just did her best to let Kurumi be .... for now.

Text Cut: parchment

RAVENCLAW
9+1+4+5+5+3+3+1+5
36= 3+6
=9


Lily checked her math and then looked up just as the professor was asking the next question...


Raising her hand, Lily decided to take a guess at the question. "Could it be something like your greatest achievment number? like giving you a general idea of what you will be remembered for... or something like that..." Lily trailed off at the end. It had sounded brilliant in her head, but sounded horrible once she had said it. Her face fell, just thinking of what the professor would say to her answer.
Greatest achievement number? Yes, wasn't that what she just said. "That's what it represents, but not the name for the number." Stealing another glance back at the Gryffindor, she was sure the girl knew it, but she kept quiet. And Fina wasn't going to press for the answer.

"Close.... Not family growth." There was no such number called that. "But the number I was inferring to is called the growth number." Yes. It's a chapter backwards in the textbook, but Fina thought it better to go over last names first.

"The Growth number, or the key, describes about how you further grow as your progress according to your life path. Why do you think I said it relates more to the Family Name Number than the Life Path?"
