Text Cut: Kurumi and her parchment Quote:

This was her favorite part of the lesson: calculating. Honestly, who didn't think that numbers and calculations were the poetry of logical ideas and, dare she say it, even life? Simple really, and those who not believe that mathematics is so just do not realize how complicated life is. After all, the essence of Arithmancy is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.
Practically beaming, Kurumi picked up her quill and flashed a smile at Treyen who looked like he was about ready to check out. Giggling under her breath, Kurumi set to making her calculations and copying from her textbook the descriptions of each number. SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment Arithmancy Lesson Two : The Pinnacles Kurumi Hollingberry // Gryffindor // third year The Pinnacles a set of numbers to lead you to your greatest accomplishment. A pinnacle, but definition alone, is highest point of level. In life, this could mean a point were we are at our best or perhaps a point at which we have achieved one of our goals and are feeling like we literally are on top of the world. In Arithmancy, pinnacles are a set of numbers that will lead you towards your greatest accomplishment, a means to reveal your potential for achievement and success. They also show us what is possible for us to achieve in a given period of our life. There are a total of four pinnacles in a person's life and are considered long term. Life Path Number
Month + Day + Year
May 12, 2061
(0+5)+(1+2)+(2+0+6+1) = (5)+(3)+(9)= 17 = (1+7) = 8 How to calculate pinnacles:- First Pinnacle = month of birth + day of birth
- Second Pinnacle = day of birth + year of birth
- Third Pinnacle = First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
- Fourth Pinnacle = month of birth + year of birth
my birthday is 05/12/2061 First Pinnacle
(0+5) + (1+2) = 5+3 = 8 An eight in a Pinnacle position dictates a time for learning to handle the business world and any type of authority, and from that to discover your own sense of personal power. You will learn about money, power, authority, as well as the essentials of organization, leadership, responsibility, efficiency and management (particularly of financial matters). During an 8 Pinnacle, your judgment will be repeatedly tested during your opportunities to manage business and further your career. Recognition for your achievements are significant under this number. Home life may be of less importance under this Pinnacle, but that may be necessary to learn the important lesson - become your own authority and trust your true power. Second Pinnacle
(1+2)+(2+0+6+1) = (3)+(9) = 12= 1+2 = 3 During this time of your life, you will explore methods of personal expression, dealing with emotions, the imagination, and the creative spirit. Early in life, this Pinnacle revolves around seeking an imaginative and productive career. The middle Pinnacles serve to deal with your feelings and learn to speak what is in your heart. Later in life, this Pinnacle revolves around friends, the gratification of life, joy, and inventive expression. Overall, the energy of the number 3 Pinnacle is calling you to find joy and happiness, inviting you to live with a positive, optimistic outlook on life. Third Pinnacle
8 + 5 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 The 4 Pinnacle is an especially important time for constructing your life with solid, stable, long-lasting foundations. During this Pinnacle, you will be learning about persistence, hard work, patience, planning, organizing, and moving ahead with a methodical plan. As you learn these traits, you will need to apply them practically, putting your ideas into shape and creating a stable place for yourself in the material world. This is not a time of leisure, but is a demanding period requiring discipline, recognition of limits, and a serious attitude. Forth Pinnacle
(2+0+6+1)+(0+5) = (9)+(5) = 14 = (1+4) = 5 Prepare yourself for change and uncertainty, while relaxing on restrictions of your past patterns to deliver you freedom and liberation. Many people don't like change, so if you're one of these people, this time can be very unsettling, filled with restlessness, activity, and public life. Changes in attitudes, career paths, and business decisions that are forward thinking favor sales and promotions and do well under this 5 energy. Learn during this time to avoid impulsive choices, especially the urge to quit and leave. The major attainment is to learn to be flexible and adaptable.
Finishing her calculations, Kurumi sat back and looked at her parchment for a moment trying to make sense of it all. Which pinnacle was she in right now? She supposed that that would come with Professor Hadley's next words, so she sat back for now and glanced at Treyen who seemed to be struggling a bit. Giggling once more under her breath, Kurumi not-so-subtly pushed her paper towards him with her elbow and kept her gaze looking forward as her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.
He saw that! He noticed how Kurumi oh-so-purposefully placed the parchment in a way that it could be easily seen from where he sat. He chuckled. Treyen wasn't copying from her parchment.
Not after he said he didn't do that.
He still kept on trying to come up with the calculations by himself, and copying looking up to the volunteers' calculations. Quote:

You've made a small copying error on your third pinnacle. Which is actually a master number." Yup. And....oh. She had a minor miscalculation. Well, that happened to everyone. It's not like he was going to stop hanging around Kurumi just because she had only little number wrong. Quote:

Hmm... Surprisingly, well. "But at least it's good to know your cheekiness doesn't interrupt your ability to do Arithmancy." Or draw hearts. Yes, we see it down there on your parchment. His attention was lost from his parchment as...whaaaat? Sierra lost points? What for? She'd done nothing. Nothing that he heard of, but Hadley seemed to be eyeing the girl's parchment with great intent.
Treyen actually wondered what was written there, though.
After being glared many times by the Slytherin girl, he decided to turn back to his parchment almost instantly, and kept on working on the oh-so-long calculations. SPOILER!!: Treyen's Parchment Life Path Number.
DOB: April 10, 2059
(0+4) + (1+0) + (2+0+5+9) = 4 + 1 + 16
5 + 16 = 21 = 2 + 1 = 3
THREE (3): Your path will entice you to be both spontaneous and creative, to live your life with joy and imagination. You will learn the benefits of optimism and enthusiasm, and how to express your emotions and exuberance. Once you've mastered these concepts, you'll move on to the next phase - inspiring others. You're a born communicator and your wit and lightheartedness will help others see the joy in any situation. Artistic, creative, and articulate are words to describe someone with a 3 Life Path. Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.
Pinnacles.
First Pinnacle
(0+4) + (1+0) = 4 +1 = 5
FIVE (5): Prepare yourself for change and uncertainty, while relaxing on restrictions of your past patterns to deliver you freedom and liberation. Many people don't like change, so if you're one of these people, this time can be very unsettling, filled with restlessness, activity, and public life. Changes in attitudes, career paths, and business decisions that are forward thinking favor sales and promotions and do well under this 5 energy. Learn during this time to avoid impulsive choices, especially the urge to quit and leave. The major attainment is to learn to be flexible and adaptable.
Second Pinnacle
(1+0) + (2+0+5+9) = 1 + 16 = 17
1 +7 = 8
EIGHT (8): An eight in a Pinnacle position dictates a time for learning to handle the business world and any type of authority, and from that to discover your own sense of personal power. You will learn about money, power, authority, as well as the essentials of organization, leadership, responsibility, efficiency and management (particularly of financial matters). During an 8 Pinnacle, your judgment will be repeatedly tested during your opportunities to manage business and further your career. Recognition for your achievements are significant under this number. Home life may be of less importance under this Pinnacle, but that may be necessary to learn the important lesson - become your own authority and trust your true power.
Third Pinnacle
5 + 8 = 13 = 1+3 = 4
FOUR (4): The 4 Pinnacle is an especially important time for constructing your life with solid, stable, long-lasting foundations. During this Pinnacle, you will be learning about persistence, hard work, patience, planning, organizing, and moving ahead with a methodical plan. As you learn these traits, you will need to apply them practically, putting your ideas into shape and creating a stable place for yourself in the material world. This is not a time of leisure, but is a demanding period requiring discipline, recognition of limits, and a serious attitude.
Fourth Pinnacle
(0+4) + (2+0+5+9) = 4 + 16 = 20
2 + 0 = 2
TWO (2): Your greatest attainment will be to learn how to have
harmonious relationships without sacrificing yourself. The number 2 Pinnacle represents unions, partnerships, patience, and fairness, with a focus on working as a team. During this time of your life, you may be learning to cooperate, share, and be considerate of others. The 2 Pinnacle may be a time where you will find achievement in fields of work where precision and detail are valued because you have a natural gift for relating facts, gathering and perfecting details, and knowing what's correct and right.

Was it all right, though? It probably was, he couldn't be THAT awful at math. After all, they weren't interpreting way too much. Quote:

He was...unusually quiet today. Was something wrong? It certainly seemed like there was something on his mind. Kurumi smiled at him faintly before turning her eyes back to her own paper and biting her lower lip shyly.
"If you want to talk...numbers....we can after class," Kurumi whispered, hoping that he was able to figure out that she wasn't exactly hoping to discuss pinnacles in the library. He wasn't startled at all, because her soft tone was heard just after he was done writing in his parchment.
Treyen still had a slight frown on his face from the Arithmancy work, and then smiled as Kurumi whispered something to him. Numbers? She surely meant just to talk, but disguised it because of Hadley, "Of course, Kurumi, after class," he said, and added a small wink. Quote:

"Ellie Stone!" Hadley exclaimed, putting one hand on her hip, as she walked over and stared down at the fourth year eagle. "What in the name of Merlin do you think you're doing?!" Yes. You best have a good explanation, young miss. You're delaying the class. He was about to mention something else when the heard Hadley exclaim a name that he liked so very much, though, he preferred Eliana Stone, and turned his head around just to see what Hadley was talking about, and to see if Ellie was alright, of course.
And...she seemed to be doing NOTHING, Hadley. He raised his eyebrow at the Professor, because he was clearly confused as to what was going on.
First Sierra, now Ellie?
