The windows are open and a crisp fall breeze is blowing through the Arithmancy classroom in preparation for another day of learning. Professor Domingo, clad in earth tones to match the season, stands near the front of the room shuffling her notes to be organized and ready for today. A notice is written on the chalkboard in her handwriting: "Take out the list of three people I asked you to prepare and set it on your desk."
OOC: You may RP chatting, but please nothing excessive. The lesson will begin in a few hours.

It seemed odd that in the other to numbers he'd reduced to single digits and yet with 22 he had not. Then the professor asked if students had questions. Ian looked around and didn't see anyone else asking a question, so he raised his hand.
Professor. What are master numbers? Obviously, the numbers she had listed were it, but that didn't explain WHY they were master numbers and Ian was confused a little. He had copied the responses from the volunteers along with some notes, but now he needed to know what a master number was and it's purpose in Arithmancy.
"As previously stated, the three Master Numbers are 11, 22, and 33. They have special resonances for interpretations and important significance in higher level topics that are beyond the scope of today's lesson." In other words, that was a topic for another day further along in his education.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now clase, we must talk about the Life Path calculation. We use the full date of birth, including the month, year, and day. So for instance, Harry Potter." The perfect example, since so many people knew his birthday. "Born the 31st day of July in 1980. Turn all of that into numbers: 31 for the day, 7 for the month, and 1980 for the year. Then reduce as we just practiced."
She pointed her wand at the board and made the calculation appear.
"So Harry Potter's Life Path number is 2. Please use the three birth dates you brought in today on your list. Calculate the Life Path number for each of the three people." Then all that was left for the last step would be the interpretation.

Ian listened with hopeful expectation for a response about the purpose of master numbers, but alas, the profesora felt the information too much for today's lessons. Ian considered a follow on question, but she moved on with the topic of today's lesson. Ian tried to hide his disappointment and decided to take the opportunity later to read up on this topic. This one didn't seem much interested in teaching but more interested in sticking to a lesson plan.
Ian observed the equation and looked down at his list. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. He set about the equations for each.
Ian noted that 11 was a master number, but the professor reduced it. He shrugged and decided not to mention it. Maybe there was a special exception for Harry Potter.

Adding numbers, AJ could totally handle that. She listened as her question was answered through Ian. They would be learning more about the master numbers another time. Fine by her. She just wouldn't worry about that now. AJ stared at her list for a moment, and started doing the calculations. It was kind of cool to see the life paths of others, and how they compared to her. Sort of Divinationy. Heh.

Ben had honestly forgotten all about master numbers. Adding them into his notes for future reference and to avoid further mistakes in his calculations, he further moved on to follow the professor as she spoke up Harry Potter's life path number. It all looked good until they got to the last couple of lines.
Wait...wasn't 11 a master number?
Why then was it reduced?
The fourth year raised his hand, waiting until he was called upon to ask his question. "Um professor...was there any reason why you reduced the 11 that time? I thought it was a master number and to be left alone."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Though Adi had a fair idea of how to go about doing these calculations, he paid keen attention to Professor Domingo as she gave them an example using Harry Potter's information.
And then it was time to get started on his calculations for Benny, AJ and Professor Hadley. This should be a piece of cake.

Oh, haha, they were meant to be calculating the dates. Something had already told her that was the point of this lesson and now she was almost sorry she hadn't put more effort into finding out calculations; almost. It was still more effort than it was worth for numbers that probably weren't right anyway--like back in her second year when they talked about marriage. Yikes.
As it was, she only had her father's numbers to work through and she was willing to bet the rest of her galleons for this term that whatever it said, it wouldn't be right. Numbers lied. Professor Hadley used to say they never did but she knew better.
She couldn't wait to see where this one went. If it was funny enough she'd owl him about it.

After heading back to her seat, Lux listened as the Professor continued with the lesson. Everything made perfect sense to her because she had read the textbook and remembered practicing reduction last term. The Master Numbers were kind of confusing, but nothing to worry about since it sounded like they would be covered in the future.
The Harry Potter calculation was one that she could have done herself easily, but review was always nice. She was glad that Professor Domingo was doing it for the new students as well as the ones who struggled with Arithmancy. She herself struggled with aspects of it though the reduction part wasn't too bad. Nor was calculating the Lifepath Number of a person. Grabbing a blank piece of parchment, she did the math for the people on her list:

That Gryffindor kid had a point about the master number thing, but now it had been mentioned, there was no point in bringing it up again. Toby simply found a clear space in his notes and, after writing down what Domingo had said about everything else, started working out things and STUFF.

Yeah, good thing he didn't bother asking, because she was telling them anyway. Or... kinda. These were SINGLE digits still, and ... they needed three digit numbers.
Zeke supposed all would be revealed, and this was only using the birth dates, the names had to count for something too, no? First and foremost, he coped down the example from the board again. Harry Potter, yeah, he'd read about the dude. The chosen one and how he defeated Lord Voldimort or something. He was cool, had a neat scar too. Maybe seeing as two of his were incomplete, information-wise, MAYBE he could use Potter instead.
That... was right, yes? One, was her... Life Path number? Yes? He would believe so unless told otherwise. Mmmmhhhhmmm.
He was tempted to just, not do the others. Cause, he didn't have Peverell's real date of birth, and he didn't have Professor Airey's middle name. So, he wouldn't be able to complete them, would he?
The lease he could do - he decided, was to do what he did know. And HEEYYYYY, he could always practice on his own, no?
Booooo, his wasn't the same as Emily and Professor Airey's! .......... but, what did they mean?! Did he have enough time to look in his text book? Nahhh... probably not.
Zeke sat, patiently, looking around and waiting for the next part.

Having had no questions, Grayson simply sat back, fiddling with his quill as he did so. His textbook had been opened up to the beginning of the Core Numbers section at some point and he kept glancing over at it. Were they gonna do ALL of these calculations? Cause that was a lot of maths and reductions and dude was starting to get a little hungry.
Oh they were moving ahead? Brilliant! Less time until his next meal AND he could ignore the soft rumbling his tummy was about to make.
And you know what was gonna be interesting about these pieces of calculations? He KNEW these people, meaning that if the textbook said some random nonsense for the numbers, Whitty would know. And judge. Judging eyes for the textbook would be given. So say something COOL for the three people he admired, mkay?

Aha, someone had noticed after all! She had wondered if anyone would be paying enough attention to catch the 'mistake' she had made. "Excelente, Señor Atreyu, sí. Estudiantes, your classmate has noticed what is likely the most common mistake in using the reduction method. Harry Potter's Life Path number was incorrectly reduced past 11, when in fact 11 is a master number." She scribbled out the 2 and instead circled the 11. "Take a point for Gryffindor, chico."

You will notice that the meanings for the Master Numbers are at the bottom and also that, in this calculation, the master 33 is not possible."
"So now that you have your calculations and their interpretations, please apply the textbook meanings to your three people. How does the analysis fit with their life outcomes if they have already lived a full life? If they are still alive, what does the analysis predict is yet to come for them?" This was always the interesting part of lessons: getting to see what lay ahead.

Ian had finished up his calculations and was waiting for what was to come. The professor reassured him that they would address Master numbers and so Ian was placated for the class. She also complimented his work, which made him feel pretty good for his first go of this.
He listened to her as she explained the next step and picked up his book. He flipped to page seven and read the following words:

FIVE (5): You'll have many forks along your path and you'll welcome each change as a new opportunity with unknown results. Change is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - championing freedom. You're progressive and super-resourceful, which make you equally good at many different trades. Career/vocation options include working with the public, advertising, publicity, or sales - any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine. Travel is well-suited to you.
NINE (9): Your path will lead you to understand the interconnectedness of all things. It's a path of universal love that learns compassion and tolerance. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - tolerance for all and the importance of caring for each other. You're a born healer and your healing may take the form of writing, composing, painting, or sculpting - reaching others by truly connecting to them. You'll be learning how to let go, to surrender the self for greater good. Career/vocation options include the arts, international business, education, and health - any line of work designed to help, heal, or humanize.
Before he got too far into interpretation, he wanted to absorb what he'd read and try to see if it applied to his list.
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
So she had made a mistake, well purposeful mistake. And for that he had gotten some credit in the form of a point for his house. "Thanks..." he said simply, feeling like he shouldn't just say nothing. With that question answered, Benny finished up his calculations, noticing that his third person wound up just like Harry Potter's did. Curious giving they were class and housemates.

Being a master number, it is reduced no further.
He found it somewhat amusing that Adi and Angel both wound up as the same number. Did that speak something about why they were the two most special people in his life at the moment. His best friend and his girl both being the number 9 for their Life Path Number. Looking it up, he copied down the meaning into his parchment of notes as he read it so he didn't have to keep flipping back to the page.
SPOILER!!: Number 9

Ben reread the interpretations a couple of times, letting what was being said try to sink into his mind before feeling ready to lay out the connections to his friends. He had to admit a good portion of it applied well with both Adi and Angel. They were both very compassionate people and good at caring for others. And Adi was a composer with his music. He could see them following the life paths suggested.
"Six, Seven, Eight," Zahra noted out loud. Inwardly she missed Mikey so much she could hardly stand it.
...eh book work. She gnawed on her quill and flipped to the right page. Ehh. Blah blah blah words words...
"WHAT!?" HAHAHAHAHAHA
....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "This says MIKEY TOUSSAINT is going to lead a luxurious life with a career in BEAUTY PRODUCTS and DECORATING!" HAHAHAHA She actually kind of forgot he wasn't around and looked for him to LAUGH HER HEAD OFF AT HIM...
But you know. He wasn't there. SO that's okay. She'd just.. "... just wait til I owl him." ...bummer. Owls sucked. Sigh.
Norah placed her quill back on the table at Professor Domingo's suggestion, and opened her text book at page 7. So many WORDS. Sigh. She scanned the descriptions for 7,9, and 11 a few times to make sure they had sunk in, and began to take notes on each.
She smiled to herself, because the life path description for number 7 definitely got the studious part of Marigold right. AND the sharing wisdom part. Heh. She raised her eyebrows at the next number, because it was so accurate it was even a little scary. Love, compassion, and tolerance where DEFINITELY good descriptions of her mother. Even though she wasn't tolerant when it came to hair-brushing and chore-doing, she was pretty tolerant in general. There was really no denying that. Reaching her brother's number's description, her faith in the textbook weakened a little. A charismatic leader? Nahh. Sebastion was the smartest person in the whole entire world, even if he was only 8, but he wasn't exactly the most outgoing guy. He was a much more of a shy little dude. Maybe it was a middle child thing. Ooooh! Maybe he would BECOME all that stuff! And he could teach people everything he read in those boooring books of his and become leader of the universe and make her the queen!. Grinning, she made a mental note to write him a letter about how inspirational he would be one day, mhmm.

Marigold had copied Harry Potter's calculations directly from the board, so she erased those and rewrote 11 as a master number. Oops. She opened her textbook and began reading, then made notes for all of them just in case.
...welp at Zahra. Sadface.
So she got two 9s, her dad and Moo. Looking back at the textbook and her notes, she giggled. It certainly worked for Moo - tolerance for all and things, but it just didn't seem to connect with her dad. Not that he wasn't selfless or anything, but he probably fit better with seven.
...now for Harry Potter's, right? 11. Illuminate humanity. Yadayada, that was obvious. She kicked the back of the chair in front of her and looked around.
Okay. So there were Master Numbers. And they had to consider that when making the reduction method. And...now they had to work on their people Life Path Numbers. Hmmm, let's see what they have to say about their path in life...did it work out for Elisa, is her mother following hers, was Kai going in the right direction? Of course, Arithmancy-ly speaking.
Seis, Uno and Dos. Now, it was time to read the interpretations for those numbers. Peeking into her book, she read carefully into the book. Ay...does this make some sense?
Text Cut: Life Path Numbers
SIX (6): Your path will lead you to live responsibly at home and work to achieve balance between giving and receiving. This path is one of aid and service, and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - achieving balance between giving and receiving. You're a born counselor - sympathetic and caring - which makes others seek you out for advice. Career/vocation options include any job in the service industry where you can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others, including medicine, decorating, beauty products, training animals, teaching, and counseling.
ONE (1): Your path will take you down the road to independence, and you'll learn its benefits standing on your own two feet and becoming a strong individual. Once you've honed these traits, you move to the next level - leadership. You're a born leader and your path in life will present you with many opportunities to demonstrate your ability. Your strong pioneering spirit, courage, and determination will serve you well along this road. Career/vocation options include fields where you can use your quick mental agility, such as business, health, government, or even a bookstore.
TWO (2): Your path will lead you to seek balance and harmony in all that you do and you'll learn the benefits of cooperation and compromise, as well as patience and peacekeeping. Once you've incorporated these traits, you'll move on to the next phase - drawing others together. You were born to relate to others - and make certain that others relate well to each other as well. But be sure to remember not to ignore yourself and your own needs while you're making sure everyone else is cooperating. People with 2 Life Paths are extremely sensitive that they need to be careful not to become the world's doormat. Career/vocation options include jobs that allow you to mediate, negotiate, take care of details, be in a supportive role, or gather facts.
Really...did anything make sense?
With an open mind, she reread it. Hopefully she'll get something out of this.

Layla wasn’t really sure why she had fallen behind or how exactly she had become distracted in the last five minutes but she had and the lesson was moving on before she even managed to get her calculations done. The Ravenclaw frowned in response, mostly because she enjoyed arithmancy, or the muggle equivalent and she had never trailed behind before.
She very quickly grabbed her quill and completed her calculations for her dates very swiftly reducing them down into one digit, or one master number if that was the case. She started with her mother and made her way down to her cousin noting that all three were members of her own family. She had thought about including her muggle friends but none were really an inspiration to her, they were just her mates.

Arithmancy Lesson 1 - Core numbers
What is a core number?
A set of four numbers or calculations used to find more out about yourself. Can be used to discover more about your soul and the path in which you can take in the future.
Reduction Method
Method in which a number is reduced to a single digit by adding all the components in a number e.g.
152 -
1 + 5 + 2 = 8
734 -
7 + 3 + 4 = 14
1 + 4 = 5
967 -
9 + 6 + 7 = 22 2 + 2 = 4
NOTE TO SELF - Eleven, twenty-two and thirty-three are MASTER NUMBERS. This means they do not need to be reduced.
Life Path Numbers
Vera Rebecca Ackerly -
23/03/2041
2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 15
5 + 1 = 6
Felix Benjamin Ackerly -
05/01/2079
5 + 1 + 2 + 7 + 9 = 24
2 + 4 = 6
Samson Trevellious Blake -
05/11/2068
5 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 8 = 23
2 + 3 = 5
Oh thank goodness Sammy was different to the other two. She supposed in some ways that Felix and her mother were very similar, they were both very hard working and everything but Feels was five. He was sort a joke addition purely because he lived in a mad house.
The whole interpretation idea of this subject was very much so like Divination and Layla doubted that any of it was actually true but still she wanted a good grade and so she kept going with her studies and flicked open her textbook to the right page and scanning over.

Life Path Numbers Interpretations
Vera and Felix Ackerly - 6
Textbook interpretation - "Your path will lead you to live responsibly at home and work to achieve balance between giving and receiving. This path is one of aid and service, and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - achieving balance between giving and receiving. You're a born counselor - sympathetic and caring - which makes others seek you out for advice. Career/vocation options include any job in the service industry where you can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others, including medicine, decorating, beauty products, training animals, teaching, and counseling."
My interpretation - My Ma has always been sympathetic towards her children and a very hard worker. She does not work in the service industry as such but she is high up in her industry and offers training to the employees below her. She's also been very good at teaching her two children and getting us all out of the dump we used to live in. As for Felix he is only five and so it is difficult to associate the life path towards him. However I can definitely see him being helpful, the kid is a genius and close to his Aunt who is a Healer.
Sammy Blake - 5
Textbook Interpretation - "You'll have many forks along your path and you'll welcome each change as a new opportunity with unknown results. Change is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - championing freedom. You're progressive and super-resourceful, which make you equally good at many different trades. Career/vocation options include working with the public, advertising, publicity, or sales - any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine. Travel is well-suited to you."
My interpretation - Sammy IS quite energetic and definitely a people-person so he would technically make a great sales-person but I really don't think he'd waste his talents there. He's also well adapted to change, he was far more excited about his whole life being turned upside-down than I was.
All in all Layla wasn't sure whether she believed any of this and whether it was particularly accurate but that was what she thought. Once finished she put her quill down and looked back up for the next instructions.
