Eh...okay. That was...yeah. He scribbled on his notes the other calculation Keefer had made, without reducing the numbers...2076 + 10 + 4 = 2090 = 11 = 2. And he blinked. "Well, I get the same number either way." So, did it really matter? The reducing bit?
So he wasn't the only one. "
I wonder if that applies to everyone, or if it just happened to work in our two cases." Either way, he was going to move on to Personal Month with Treyen.

Text Cut: Keefer's parchment
Personal Month Number
PYN: 7
Current month: 10
7 + (1+0) = 7 + 1 = 8

An 8 Personal Month is a time to seize control of your life and lead with your strong authority and sure power. Assume command of the direction you've decided to pursue so that everything goes the way it should. This is a time to get down to business and take charge of your life and manage things. These things could be as simple as speaking to your roommate about his or her barking krup, taking care of that essay you've been putting off, or making an investment in your future. This is a good time to organize your financial affairs. It is all about money, power, and management this month.
"
I got eight. And look what it means! Just in time for Quidditch to start, eh? That's pretty close, actually." Seriously, scary accuracy.
His amazement still fresh, he focused on the Personal Day Number. He was in the process of flipping to the correct chapter when Treyen beat him there and started reading.

"
...which is the 17th, I believe." He glanced at the board. "
Yup, October 17. So I would do 8 plus a reduction of 17..." He resumed scribbling furiously.
He scanned the page for the meaning. "
A 7 Personal Day Number is a day to rest and reevaluate, a time for quiet solitude, and to meditate." And how did that relate to seizing control and taking charge of life? "
Well, at least the Month one was pretty accurate. Maybe I'm supposed to go swim in the Prefect Bath, eh?" he finished, giving Treyen a wink. That bath was too elaborate to be considered a bath.
