Honestly she hadn't thought about the whole... choosing where a friend was thing being related to her personality but she supposed it did. Too bad the rest of the lesson wasn't shaping up to be so simple.... though she was going to try her best. She looked back over her shoulder at Sylvie and gave the Gryffindor girl a somewhat weak smile. Arithmancy. amirite?
Bel flipped to chapter thirteen, smoothed it out and bent down to read it, brow furrowed as she followed her finger across the page. All the letters of her first name plus her day of birth. There was another thing about arithmancy that threw her, really. Her first name. She went by Bel but... well.
Wincing slightly Bel started writing down the numbers she needed.
5? 5. Bel flipped to the bit with the five and read it to herself.
Aaaand... she frowned. Was that true? All this self-reflection business was kind of beyond her, and she wasn't even sure if she got the maths right. Ummm.... so..... for the next part of the task... yeah. She was drawing blanks. WAS that her? WAS it? She shot a little look towards Max. Maybe he'd have some insight. Were they allowed to discuss? Maybe preferring practicality over comfort could be considered a personality trait, he hadn't thought of it like that. Max nodded at Professor Davis' words and then flicked through his Arithmancy textbook to read a bit more about this so called Rational Thought Number. So this number was supposed to reveal that he was more of a desk sitter rather than a cushion sitter? We'll see about that. Quote:

4 + 1 + 6 + 2 Before he could finish his calculations, however, he found himself peeking over at Bel's. Or actually, scratch that.... Belinda's. Huh. Max adjusted his glasses and scooched his chair a tad closer to get a better look at her work. "I mean, the quick thinking thing definitely sounds about right," he suggested encouragingly after seeing the first line. Hopefully, she wouldn't mind his input. "You surf and race motorbikes and a bunch of other crazy stuff that needs you to think on your feet if you don't wanna end up breaking all your bones."
