A hint of a smile tugged at the Gryffindor's lips. So, she had been right in her guess earlier. That was slightly reassuring. When Professor Hadley asked the next question, Kurumi picked up her quill and took it to her parchment to write out her thoughts a bit, taking in what others were saying as she did.

First thing to consider was one's Life Path Number, which essentially told you the path you will follow and part of you was needed to help you on the road to greatness - what strengths in yourself that you should be sure to use and fall back on. Your Growth Number wasn't about what you should use, but HOW to grow in your strengths as you went down your life path and showed you where your potential lied. The key in this was, to Kurumi, was the word potential. Life Path seemed to be showing what was known, more of an absolute as it were, where as Growth was more giving you a blue print to follow, a map. Which left her with the remaining Family Name Number to recheck its meaning, which they had just gone over - your last name reveal your spiritual nature, your inner subconscious response to life. While all these definitions were nice...they weren't facts and Kurumi needed to work in facts right now.

Looking down at her notes again, Kurumi looked at HOW the numbers were calculated and instantly noticed some similarities. Taking a deep breath, Kurumi decided to finally raise her hand. "Does it have something to do with how the numbers are calculated? Your Life Path Number doesn't use the letters of your name, but is based on your birth date. Your Growth Number and Family Name Number are found by adding together the numerical values of the letters in your name, first name and surname respectively. So, in a sense, they build off each other." And with that, Kurumi lowered her hand.
