Professor Hadley had said it was like it was burning her flesh, right? Penelope was sure she'd written down one of the curses mentioned that did that somewhere...

She raised her hand. "Could it be the Flagrante Curse? Since it's supposed to make something burn anyone who touches it, right?"

"Professor, I'm not so sure about the numbers but the Flagrante Curse causes objects to burn whatever touches them." Like the jewelry had burned Professor Hadley's skin.

Not that she planned on having OWLs for the subject next term, though. WHISTLE.

"I agree with everyone," Kat said. "Possibly the Flagrante curse was used on the necklace." Unless Professor wanted to suggest FIENDFYRE but that was obviously stupid. You can't do that otherwise it'd just burn the necklace. SNORT. How stupid.

As for the numbers, Kat remained quiet. See, she wasn't that good at those stuff.

"Yes. The Flagrante Curse," Hadley said, nodding solemnly at those who suggested that.

What possible curse it was was the more obvious answer, but as Kurumi refreshed her memory as to what each number meant she found it hard to come up with a number that represented...fire. At least one that did in the Arithmetic sense. Still, she gave it a go and raised her hand. "Um...the number 5 could be involved since it carries the mean of physical touch...and perhaps 0 due to its meaning of decay." Burning flesh was a sort of decay. Ew. "And if the effects are immediate...perhaps 9?"

"Yes, to all three. I do think all three of those numbers are involved.." Hadley nodded.

As for the numbers he nodded in agreement with Kurumi, but felt that one other number could be associated with it. "What of the Master Number Eleven." he spoke up moments after Kurumi. "It's the number of Illumination. Fire Illuminates, but it also burns. So I believe Eleven could be one of the numbers."

"It would be a double one though, not an eleven, since in the curse-breaking sense, master numbers don't exist." Which created a whole new level of confusion, she was sure.

"Um, dunno about the curse, but for the numbers.." He consulted his textbook again. "Well, zero talks about decay, and I guess you could say your skin is decaying somewhat. Then there's five, which talks about the physical world and specifically physical touch." The bracelet had to touch her arm, so that was definitely involved here.

"Yes," Hadley nodded at Logan. Sharp boy her nephew was.

Also the number 7 since it concerns about magic and... is there a negative version of numbers?--like the number 9 is about tolerance but the now you are unable to tolerate having it touch your skin..." Was he making any sense?

Okay...She leafed through her book skimming the numbers...She raised her hand and said "Maybe the numbers zero for change or decay, five for physical touch since it has to touch you and maybe seven for magic..." Now the curse...She thought for a second making sure she had the right fire spell in mind, "I believe the curse would be the Flagrante curse."

"Yes, but the curse is already on the bracelet. It's not really activated by magic. Just by touching it, it emits heat..." So no seven.

"I believe the curse would be the Flagrante curse? Which would mean that some kind of firey number would be involved." So, what would be that firey number? She thought back to everything that she had studied about Arithmancy to help figure it out. "Maybe.......a five in there somewhere?" Yeah, that sounded really bright.

"Five is inevitable, yes." There were actually several fives, if memory served her right about the numeric equivalent.

"So we know the parts of the spell.... I'll cast Arithmos Revelio this time, for sake of time.... But you will be doing this for part of your final." Yup. For now though, she flicked her wand cast Arithmos Revelio, as numbers in glowing red hovered in front of the bracelet;

110595959

"So knowing the parts of the spell, break apart that number and interpret it with accordance of what each part of the spell means."
