"Anyway, resume your seats and go ahead and calculate your own family name numbers and their interpretations on your parchments." And then we'll move onto the mini adventure... the last part of the lesson.
ooc: I'm off for a couple hours. So go ahead and calculate and I'll be back in a few to respond / continue =)
One second into the activity, and Sierra was already frowning. Her last name had so many letters in it! G-r-e-i-n-g-o-t-h!
Bahhh! She scooped her quill off her desk, straightened up her parchment, and then stared at her paper for a few seconds before starting. So...how were they meant to be doing this again? Oh, yeah--chapter two!
G + R + E + I + N + G + O + T + H
7 + 9 + 5 + 9 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 8 = 58
5 + 8 = 13
1 + 3 = 4
Hmm...the Greingoth family was a four, apparently. Now just what did that mean? Sierra glanced back at her textbook and silently read:

Sierra made a slight face before taking notes on her parchment.
...but hard work isn't really the only way to work. For example, if someone does something for you, then you really didn't have to do any of the work yourself--they did all your work for you. Now I do think Greingoth's--well, some of us--have been known to be cautious. For example, seeing other people smiling makes me think they're up to something. This is one of the main reasons I'm so leery of Hufflepuffs some people. Thoroughness sounds pretty accurate for my family. After all, when we set a goal to accomplish something, we always see it through to the very end. I'd say we're very ambitious people. Self-discipline? Psh. I'll just pretend like that one's not even there.
Conclusion: I don't know if I like the number four.
