But then her last comment. "Yes, people can grow up to be very different from their biological families. Because I think that some people are molded by many different families..... you have your house families, your extended families, adoptive, .... all those different families meld together as driving forces which push and pull you along your destined life path. Your growth is changed by those you meet."
"As many of your classmates already mentioned, the growth number is calculated from the letters in your first name. Using the historical name that you used in calculating their family name, I want you to calculate that person's growth number." And she was pretty sure most of them knew their first names, with the exception of a few students which she already corrected and steered toward picking a different name.
Tayla nodded as she listened to the professor. When they were instructed to work on Growth Numbers, she took her quill, moved to a clean page on her notebook, and began to calculate.
"Godric Gryffindor's family name number is five. His growth number is two," Tayla thought as she reviewed her calculations. She turned to her book and softly read what 'two' meant as a growth number.
"Your greatest growth will be relationship with others. Hmm..." Tayla thought of the relationship Godric Gryffindor had with the other three Hogwarts founders.
Then realizing her calculations had also reached eleven, a master number, she read its description, too.
"Your greatest growth will come from teaching spiritual truth and balancing your energy."
Tayla bit her lip in thought.
"Godric Gryffindor's growth number probably follows this Eleven... Eleven slash Two..." But she wasn't sure. She raised her hand and decided to ask.
"Professor...what happens when a person gets more than one Growth Number? Godric's is two and eleven...but is the meaning of his growth number based just on eleven since it's the Master Number? Or do we connect the two meanings together?"
