Just take away the negative sign and its positive. It means something, but we won't worry about for now..."
Right then. "Can I get four volunteers again, please? Preferably different from before and again, one from each house... Age isn't of concern as long as you feel confident in your ability to attempt these difficult calculations." Whaaa? Riley had gotten something right? Well at least reading part of the chapter before answering seemed to help him out. The Gryffindor decided that that might help him out sometime then. And wait, he asked a question that was worthwhile and made sense...
He nodded to the Professor making a note of it in his textbook, Riley was on a roll. He did not volunteer however, seeing as she only needed four and two Lions had already offered their assistance. Quote:

"Where'd you see that?" he asked curiously, having not read about Expression/Destiny Numbers. Riley heard someone whisper something to him and he too turned to look and see where the male voice was coming from. It was a Ravenclaw...with lots of curly hair--Roderigo. "Hey." he mouthed. Next he waved and then turned back to watch the Professor round up her volunteers. He should have sat by Rod. Quote:

Instead, Kurumi turned to her parchment and began her calculations. 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
8 + 3 = 11 = 1+1 = 2 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. This Master Number Pinnacle, like any other, may also be reduced to its lower vobration, the 2, and experienced as merely that - the two Pinnacle. It is not until working at the level of the 11, the higher vibration of spiritual and philosophical rather than material, that you'll address the unique attributes of this number. The 11 Pinnacle indicates a challenging time of extreme intuition and sensitivity, experiencing intense revelations, enormous personal and spiritual growth, and a compelling sense of being different. In this Pinnacle, you possess a message to deliver to people and a desire to inspire those around you with that message. 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. _____________________ 1st Pinnacle____ 2nd Pinnacle ____ 3rd Pinnacle ____ 4th Pinnacle

Challenge Numbers are not meant to be overcome, but rather indicate what you must become. How to calculate pinnacles:- First Challenge Number = day of birth - month of birth
- Second Challenge Number = year of birth - day of birth
- Third Challenge Number = Second Challenge Number - First Challenge Number
- Fourth Challenge Number = year of birth - month of birth
First Challenge
(1+2) - (5+0) = 3-5 = -2 One of the most common challenges, the number two stresses sensitivity to all human relations. One aspect of the two, as the symbol for duality, is that it requires constant vigilance to stay balanced in the juggle between two seemingly opposing forces. You will in time learn the balance point and how to maintain it by being sensitive and living in harmony with yourself and with others. The negative aspect of the 2 can deal with fear, timidity, or lack of self-confidence. A potentially painful Challenge, there may be a battle with subordination or unwarranted consideration paid to what others think. The value of this Challenge is that you become sensitive to the emotions and needs of others without sacrificing your own needs at the same time.
wait...can I have a negative number?
(12) - (5) = 7 Second Challenge
(2+0+6+1) - (1+2)= (9) - (3) = 6 When 6 is your Challenge, you're learning accountability for others and possibly experiencing burden from family obligations. Learn to attend to others and strike a balance between honoring your commitments to family and to yourself - a balance, meaning that you can't avoid either and must attend to both. Learn to avoid codependency and discover when loyalty, obedience, and the desire to be in charge of the household have stepped overboard. There is a tendency for this Challenge to be too stubborn and set in your opinions, so learn to transfer the energy from the negative to the positive qualities of the 6 - warmth, beauty, and nurturing. Third Challenge
However, after calculating the first two numbers, Kurumi stopped herself due to her own over thinking and confusing herself. Best to wait for further instruction from Professor Hadley at this point. But, Kurumi wasn't one to wait when knowledge was involved. " Professor, what happens when you calculate a number and it becomes negative? Do you just disregard that negative sign and apply the principle as if it were a positive?" Or was she CLEARLY over thinking things? As other students chimed in to volunteer a small voice spoke up and asked Professor Hadley a question and it was oddly familiar. The same one as Riley had asked, oh but it was Kurumi. He smiled as he turned towards her, she obviously had been reading or something and just missed Hadley's answer. "Yes, Kurumi, I was confused as well. But the way you are talking about is the correct way to do it if you get a negative number." He grinned and then turned back. See he could help people!
