 Cheesy Mac
Professor Shackleton greeted the last few students who entered her classroom and then made her way to the front of the room by the podium. Her lesson plan was laid out before her, as a reference to prevent skipping over anything important.
"Good morning, my dears. Welcome to Arithmancy! I see both new and returning faces amongst us, for which I am very happy. Those of you who are returning, I take your presence to mean that you either enjoyed this subject enough to wish to take it again, or your parents are not allowing you to drop it. Either way, I am grateful for your presence. New students - I welcome you to a subject that I hold very dear to my heart, a subject that can reveal more about yourself than you've ever acknowledged and that can guide you into your futures."
"Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Macadrian Shackleton-Clark and I am, quite obviously, your Arithmancy professor. I have been teaching this subject at Hogwarts for six years with this being my seventh year as instructor. Prior to accepting this post, I was a cursebreaker for Gringotts and also conducted research about the magical propeties of many numbers. I still do some research, though my other school duties have made that a bit more challenging. Being the advisor for the Gobstones club and the student publication, the Quill, can be rather time consuming! But enough about me, let's get to Arithmancy!"
Professor Shackleton-Clark asked the classroom, "Would one of the returning students or anyone who has read the first chapter of the textbook be willing to explain to the class what exactly Arithmancy is?"
