A rather small smile appeared on her lips as she was given licorice instead of chocolate. Thank Merlin at least one professor noticed she didn't like that horrid sweet that made Destiny go crazy and ride sheep like they were horses. Twirling the piece of candy around on her desk, her gaze moved back to the Professor as she asked a question. Meep!

"That is...the Life Path number." she said after raising her hand, before going back to twirling the piece of licorice.

"Umm Professor, I think the one you are talking about is the Life Path Number, it won't change if you use the Pathagorean." he nodded matter-of-factly.
Noticing the content look on Evelyn's face when she received the chocolate, Josephina knew she had won the girl over. Granted the girl's affinity for Arithmancy wasn't going to hurt anything, but also being attentive to the girl's likes [and anyone's really] wasn't going to hurt anything.

Hearing her and then a boy - Gryffindor one - speak up on the subject as Life Path number being the one that didn't change, she nodded in agreement. "Yes, that is correct to the both of you," Fina replied. "The Life Path number is calculated using other numbers, rather than letters to numbers, so it doesn't matter what system you're using, it will indeed remain the same."

There may be a maze coming up...or something more complicated... and she was going to need a sugar boost.

As the conversation changed to core numbers and...Pytha...pytho...pythu...well, pyth something, Kurumi decided to just sit back and listen with her parchment and quill ready for notes.
Noting confusion on a typically active student in her classes this term, Fina blinked a moment or two at the girl, before realizing she probably hadn't reviewed her core numbers. One of the hardest issues for a subject like Arithmancy and teaching to a variety of years was that there were always new students incoming each year who hadn't done last year's numbers.

"It seems some of you are struck by confusion as to what I'm talking about," Fina continued, giving a small smile in the young, but intuitive girl's direction. "Just as a quick review, I was referring to the Pythagorean Number System, which is discussed in chapter two of your textbooks. The number we will specifically work with during the lesson will be your Expression Numbers, which is in chapter seven of your texts.

Can someone please tell me how this number is found?"
