Layla wasn’t really sure why she had fallen behind or how exactly she had become distracted in the last five minutes but she had and the lesson was moving on before she even managed to get her calculations done. The Ravenclaw frowned in response, mostly because she enjoyed arithmancy, or the muggle equivalent and she had never trailed behind before.

She very quickly grabbed her quill and completed her calculations for her dates very swiftly reducing them down into one digit, or one master number if that was the case. She started with her mother and made her way down to her cousin noting that all three were members of her own family. She had thought about including her muggle friends but none were really an inspiration to her, they were just her mates.

Arithmancy Lesson 1 - Core numbers



What is a core number?
A set of four numbers or calculations used to find more out about yourself. Can be used to discover more about your soul and the path in which you can take in the future.
Reduction Method
Method in which a number is reduced to a single digit by adding all the components in a number e.g.
152 -
1 + 5 + 2 = 8
734 -
7 + 3 + 4 = 14
1 + 4 = 5
967 -
9 + 6 + 7 = 22
2 + 2 = 4
NOTE TO SELF - Eleven, twenty-two and thirty-three are MASTER NUMBERS. This means they do not need to be reduced.

Life Path Numbers

Vera Rebecca Ackerly -
23/03/2041
2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 15
5 + 1 = 6
Felix Benjamin Ackerly -
05/01/2079
5 + 1 + 2 + 7 + 9 = 24
2 + 4 = 6
Samson Trevellious Blake -
05/11/2068
5 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 8 = 23
2 + 3 = 5


Oh thank goodness Sammy was different to the other two. She supposed in some ways that Felix and her mother were very similar, they were both very hard working and everything but Feels was five. He was sort a joke addition purely because he lived in a mad house.

The whole interpretation idea of this subject was very much so like Divination and Layla doubted that any of it was actually true but still she wanted a good grade and so she kept going with her studies and flicked open her textbook to the right page and scanning over.

Life Path Numbers Interpretations

Vera and Felix Ackerly - 6
Textbook interpretation - "Your path will lead you to live responsibly at home and work to achieve balance between giving and receiving. This path is one of aid and service, and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - achieving balance between giving and receiving. You're a born counselor - sympathetic and caring - which makes others seek you out for advice. Career/vocation options include any job in the service industry where you can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others, including medicine, decorating, beauty products, training animals, teaching, and counseling."
My interpretation - My Ma has always been sympathetic towards her children and a very hard worker. She does not work in the service industry as such but she is high up in her industry and offers training to the employees below her. She's also been very good at teaching her two children and getting us all out of the dump we used to live in. As for Felix he is only five and so it is difficult to associate the life path towards him. However I can definitely see him being helpful, the kid is a genius and close to his Aunt who is a Healer.
Sammy Blake - 5
Textbook Interpretation - "You'll have many forks along your path and you'll welcome each change as a new opportunity with unknown results. Change is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - championing freedom. You're progressive and super-resourceful, which make you equally good at many different trades. Career/vocation options include working with the public, advertising, publicity, or sales - any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine. Travel is well-suited to you."
My interpretation - Sammy IS quite energetic and definitely a people-person so he would technically make a great sales-person but I really don't think he'd waste his talents there. He's also well adapted to change, he was far more excited about his whole life being turned upside-down than I was.


All in all Layla wasn't sure whether she believed any of this and whether it was particularly accurate but that was what she thought. Once finished she put her quill down and looked back up for the next instructions.
