Eniola thought her answer of predicting the future had been enough. It’s key in Arithmancy. Many muggles used it during war times centuries ago. Hearing that no one had gotten what the Professor was aiming for was disheartening. She never did like Arithmancy, but she does like to figure things out.

Eniola flipped through her textbook searching for the basics seeing if she had misread or missed something altogether.



Hmm, this all adds up to predicting the future, but something I said must have been off. The teacher seemed more pleased with others in the room when they were talking about relationships. Oh Merlin, please tell me this isn’t going to turn into matchmaking! Eni groaned to herself and buried her head in her hands briefly.

Thinking more and continuing to read through her textbook she came to another conclusion. Very similar to the original, but details seem to be the key here. “Professor, is Arithmancy not divination that relies heavily on mathematics? Using numerology, civilizations have scientifically helped increase their odds going into war by analyzing strengths and weaknesses, even predicting the future or using the numerology to alter the outcome of the future. Using dates or converting letters in someone’s name into a number and therefore being able to plug those into a formula for prediction.” She was truly perplexed if this wasn’t correct. It’s how she’s heard of Arithmancy for years was through numerology. Although maybe thats why she’s never been particularly fantastic in this class.
