Now she had to hunt people too? "I do know it Professor." She said softly as she got her wand out and looked around doubtfully, she was most likely to wreak some havoc on HERSELF But she didn't mention THAT at all..

"Okay! I'll try!" Azura said as she moved away from the fog to see if she could find any students.. She thought she caught a glimpse of the HEAD GIRL And so she quietly started to move after her..

Anyhow, she had left a surprise in the mud for anyone who tried to hide there. If someone had taken refuge in the dirty pit, their ankles were likely to be grabbed, bitten, or otherwise assaulted any second now...

Tia had caught a glimpse of one of her first year eaglets not far from her and was suddenly grateful for the concealment of the mud and earlier disillusionment charm she'd cast during the first three minutes before the activity started.

However her gratefulness faded as she felt herself sinking into the mud. Mud was supposed to be thicker than water; she can tread water, so why was she sinking in mud?!? Unless it was really quicksand?! Slowly, she felt something pulling at her ankles... biting them ... and she drew a deep breath before being submerged and only her eyes were visible above the mud surface. Surely Tanner wouldn't have set the mud pit up to consume them though. She wouldn't let a student die.... would she?!?

Wand aloft, Tiara shot several rounds of red sparks into the air. "Alright, that's it!" she called, her voice magically modified. "Everyone back towards the door!" She trooped up there herself, freezing some of the moving obstacles in place as she went.

"Gather around," she motioned as people began to arrive. There was a blackboard in the shadows that she rolled out.

Once she was confident everyone had made their way here, she began. "Today you were put in a stressful situation, and no, there is no prize for the winners other than self-discovery and learning."And in her eyes, those were more valuable anyhow. "Everyone responds differently under pressure, and your Balance Number can help you know how to better respond in difficult situations."

"For example, my initials are TZT. The values for those letters are 2, 8, and 2. If we add those together and reduce," calculations appeared on the board, "we get a 3 for my balance number."

"Over the years I have use this knowledge to temper my reactions. Believe it or not, I was quite hot-headed at your age; discovering my balance number helped me start to mellow out a bit." Once she started in Arithmancy, she had been drawn to this calculation right away. Her life as a gymnast had taught her balance was important, so this number resonated with her deeply.

"Now. I would like you to work out your balance numbers. I assume you all brought your parchment and quills to class?" They hadn't known the activity ahead of time, of course. "The ground is perfectly fine for a desk today. Please calculate your own balance number and interpret according to chapter 24's interpretations."

Just about when Tia nearly lost hope... when she thought her final moments were going to be in a mud pit in the arithmancy classroom, when she lost sight, the seventh year felt her ankles being released from whatever was pulling her down. She felt herself forcing herself above the mud surface and though she had no idea what Tanner had said, she assumed this meant the end of the activity. To which Tia promptly cleaned the mud off her uniform and skin using a non-verbal scourgify. Followed by a finite to end any of the disillusionment charm that may have still remained on herself.

Finding her way to where the class was grouped around a blackboard, Tia had to admit it all made sense now - their initial activity, that is. Balance number.

Easy enough number to calculate too.

Quote:

ONE (1): Draw strength from yourself but be more willing to share your troubles with friends and family. You can be a loner in the face of problems. This can isolate you during troubled times. Be open to the advice of others. This will widen your perspective on the problem and give you new information on which to base your approach.
Strength, creativity, and courage are the arms with which you will win the war.

She then flipped to the page to read her interpretation and couldn't help but feel even more isolated by the truth in the words. She was definitely a loner when it came to solving issues, as she preferred to solve her own problems and issues. She hated advice from others. Biting her lower lip, she just didn't know what to say or do. Which made sense given her balance number.
