She had never heard the analogy of a slate before, so it intrigued the numbers woman. "An interesting comparison, Miss Valentine."

Was Whitlock's face red? Yes, surely it was. Perhaps it was too warm in here? But no, she already had the windows open. And really, after last year, it felt rather good right now. He could deal with it.

But back to his answer. Ball of light? That sounded like utter rubbish. But the rest of it was fine, she supposed. Bemused, she simply said, "Indeed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No other answers? Her turn, then. "The Core numbers are a set of four numbers, or calculations, that describe the very essence of your soul and how one can use that information to learn about oneself and influence one's life." Many of the students had already said as much. "The four calculations in the core are the Life Path, Expression, Soul's Urge, and Personality numbers." Did that answer the Ravenclaw's (carpediem) question from earlier?

"Today we will be dealing with the first of the four, the Life Path calculation." She flicked her wand and the definition from the textbook appeared on the board.

"But before we can dive in, I wonder if I could have three volunteers who have already taken at least a year of Arithmancy?"

OOC: I will take the first three people to post their character volunteering.

Okay.... so these numbers were like a fortune cookie? Like tell you the path you were going to go on and such? And they were decided for oou? Ophelia didn't like the thought of not having control over this. Or did she? Wait, the eleven year old was getting into the whole fate/will dsicussion and it was not something the Ravencalw really even understood, so she just copied down the notes on the board. But seriously, WAS there was way to control this?

And how did numbers predict your life anyway? What calculations? The first year was not putting two and two together. And if she was, it was coming out to be five instead of four. Pout. Flipping her blonde waves over her left shoulder and sighing, she continued writing, annoyed that this was already hard. Classes shouldn't be this hard! Grr!

Also, reduction method.... like subtracting or dividing? They were supposed to write this down? Didn't her mom try teaching somethingl ike this to her, but it became such a mess of numbers and words that she started freaking out and had to lie down for the rest of the day? Ophelia was enver the greatest at math. This class was going to be awful!

Copying the numbers on the board --152, 734, and 967-- Ophelia got to work. What did her mother teach her again? Something about adding up the digits and then doing a thing with it. What was the thing? At least she didn't have to volunteer or anything. Maybe she would wait until soemone else said it and then copy it down and see if it made any sense to her. Yep. That sounded like the proper thing to do. Placing the quill on her desk and waiting for the first volunteer, Ophelia rubbed her brown eye to get an eyelash out then yawned. Math was a justifiable reason to do that.
