"I didn't bring you here to do any calculations..." Hadley waited for the huge sighs of relief. "But rather to show you the greatness that has come from so many differing family names. Some of the family names are the same family name number, others may be different. They all led different paths. So I brought you here to share some of the greatness that has been through this school over the centuries... Feel free to browse the trophy room and reflect about your own family name numbers and what it could mean for you... for your future."
Treyen looked up at Hadley as she spoke, and then frown only a little. No calculations? Well, Arithmancy had turned out to be quite different than what he first thought it was about.
'They all led different paths'. He could've so easily chuckled at that. His father had a twin brother, after all, and they led VERY different paths from day one. Not to mention the fact that all Lockharts seem to have the same family number, but they were all...well, alike in some ways, but their interests and drive were certainly different. Especially the one exception that didn't seem to mind privacy one bit.
The boy started to wander around the room as soon as Hadley said it was okay for them to do so and completely grinned when he saw the 'Duncan Fletcher' trophy. He knew that one of his relatives had been a Mundungus Fletcher and he kind of wondered what their family number was, for he truly believed Fletcher to be entirely different from that Mundungus. Kind of like Gilderoy and Kaika.
But then he froze at the sight of one plaque that said 'Amelia Rose'. That was Aaron's sister. Aaron. The Rose that was NOT here at this very moment to be looking at both their sisters plaques over there in the Trophy Room. His eyes got a bit watery at the thought, because one of his best friends was not around for this. And Aaron could've gotten a plaque of his own in that wall, because Treyen had been certain that he was going to become a Quidditch Captain like his sister.
