Text Cut: Volunteers Quote:

As Professor Hadley asked for volunteers, especially the older kids, he raised his hand to offer his help. "I'll volunteer for Gryffindor, Professor." Quote:

If that was so, it would be quite embarrassing if he were to have an unfortunate pinnacle. The Spaniard hesitated for a moment, thinking hard. A deep sigh rolled out from his chest and he looked around one more time. Slowly, he placed his quill carefully on the side of his parchment and raised his hand.
"I'll volunteer for Ravenclaw, Professor." He gave a small smile to the Professor. Quote:

He could do this, right? How hard could it be!
"Professor, if no one else would like to...I can give it a shot," he said, raising his hand slowly. At first, Josephina wasn't sure she was going to get any volunteers at all. But then, slowly but sure, she motioned for first the Head Girl, then the Gryffindor Captain to come up... Ravenclaw? No. They were all so young and they didn't seem eager to want to try even. Finally though, an unfamiliar older looking boy volunteered.
Now Hufflepuff. A few young ones again, but ... OH! There was one younger who wanted to try it. She had only requested older students, not required it after all. "Hmm... I suppose, you can try, yes." Why not? It was just for fun and if he was wrong, then at least he tried ... besides best way to learn was by being wrong. Quote:

Whatever, maybe it's to the best...I don't want to screw something up. That girl... seemed disappointed over there about not being able to volunteer. "If you do alright when we calculate our pinnacles, then perhaps you can give the next one a try at volunteering." Quote:

It wasn't that Sierra wanted to volunteer that badly. She most certainly didn't. This was Arithmancy, and if she could get away with sitting in the back of the room and sleeping all hour, she would. She needed the extra credit (if there was any involved) to go toward her very pitiful Arithmancy marks, though. "Nevermind," she mumbled. Quote:

She just hadn't ever tried and put that theory to parchment before. Now was as good a time as any, right? Hadley had asked for sixth and seventh years, and only one other younger Hufflepuff had spoken up. "I'm willing to volunteer for Hufflepuff if needed, Professor." Katie announced, her hand raised slightly. Quote:
Originally Posted by Kaos.Doodles Did he know enough about pinnacles? Legend wasn't sure. But he wanted to volunteer nonetheless. He was about to raise his hand when Simon spoke up. Huh. He could still ask. "Professor, can I volunteer?" The seventh year asked raising his hand lazily. Then there was Sierra, Katie, and Legend who all volunteered. "Hold your eagerness. I might need you guys a bit later on," she said, offering them a brief smile before turning back to her current four volunteers.
"Right then. Our four lovely volunteers are going to demonstrate how to calculate each of the four pinnacle cycles on the blackboard, using their own birthdays. Alex? You can calculate your first pinnacle for us and then explain to us the formula you used." She said looking at the Hufflepuff boy, before to the Ravenclaw boy, "You, calculate the second pinnacle." She paused, looking from Simon to Iris, as if deliberating which to give each. "Captain Bennett? You can show us the fourth pinnacle. And Iris will show us the third pinnacle."
She paused again, thoughtfully. "Actually, Gwen dear?" She looked back toward the disappointed young Ravenclaw. "One of the numbers that is important in determining what Pinnacle cycle you're in is the life path number. Think you could manage demonstrating how to calculate that number as a quick refresher?" She knew the girl was a first year, but she seemed smart enough.
Back to Legend and Katie. "As I've mentioned before, the ages that the Pinnacle Cycles influence you will vary based upon your life path number. Miss Mae? Prefect Chosen? There's table that provides the duration of your pinnacle cycles based upon your life path. Do you think you could work together to copy this table onto the board for us?"
