Oh wow....
To say that Salander was confused was an understatement. The Slytherin lad just sat in his seat quietly, slackjawed and head tilted to one side, dumbstruck at trying to figure out what Ys and Ws had anything to do with calculating hearts desires-- well with calculation
period. It was only by the sound of quills scratching on parchment from students hard at work did he realize that he needed to get something done... even if he wasnt quite sure if he should be doing anything since there isnt a Y or a W in his mile long name (of which he's grateful).
Craning his neck like a weather vane as he peeked at what his seatmates were doing, he grabbed a parchment and his quill hesitantly and started to write his name down and code the numbers in. Apparently the vowels are the important ones at this time. Cool, he knows vowels!

THIRTY-THREE (33/6): You long to give freely to all who are in need. Joyful, loving, and energetic, you touch the hearts of those who ask for your protection, care, and assistance with compassion for all. In matters of the heart and friendship, with double 3s, you will need to master your emotions in order to elevate others to a higher understanding of the meaning of love.
Quote:
SIX (6): Three things most important to you are beauty, harmony, and home. Understanding, loyalty, devotion, affection and commitment are top priorities. You want to protect, nurture, and love your family and home. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are the idealistic romantic and friend. In love, you want to be committed and love deeply. In friendship, you want lifelong companionship and confidences.
He leaned back, blinking at the numbers that he came up with on his parchment. Not only did he find it odd that he had so many 7s that a bookie would be so happy with, but according to the textbook it looked like he nailed another Master number. He read the text for 33 and couldnt help scratching his head. Why does these master numbers sound so messianic all the time? It embarrassed him a bit. He looked up 6 and read it few times. Alright this one he understood a little better, although also felt embarrassed for slightly different reasons.
