She could certainly relate to that right now. But this was class, so she should show that she was ready and willing to learn. And, on that note, she set her bag down flat on the desk, pulling her textbook, journal, and a pencil out, before moving the bag to the floor. Now she was ready. Professor Shackleton shrugged playfully, "Hello Elizabeth. As if there wasn't already enough on my mind, I now have plenty more to contemplate! So yes, a LOT is on my mind," she chuckled lightly.

The action prompted Anna to glance down at her own diamond ring and smile. "Good day, Professor," she said. "That's a really pretty ring." After taking a seat on the front row, Anna took out her Arithmancy textbook and began to review a few topics from last year's class. Professor Shackleton glanced down at her ring once more as a blush rose to her cheeks, "Thank you both very much for noticing and saying so. I'm rather fond of it myself." Quote:

He never did very well in Arithmancy, but he enjoyed the class nonetheless. Professor Shack, unlike some of the other meanies, was a sweetheart Professor. Professor Shackleton fought back a grin as Plymouth made his grand (and rather loud) entrance into the classroom. Picking up the apple he had just placed on her desk, Macadrian's eyes narrowed jokingly as she inquired, "Now Plymouth, you're not trying to poison your professor are you? The Headmaster would not be pleased if he needed to restaff the Arithmancy post so quickly after the start of the year. At least refrain from poisoning me til after the winter holidays and give the poor man a break," she joked with a wink. Quote:

She strolled into the room, book in one hand and bag on the opposite shoulder. Spotting the Professor with a rock on her finger, Karma acted impressed.
"Hello Professor Shackleton," she said smiling. "Careful with that ring - you'll blind someone with it."
There were Cope and Plym, and she smiled at both of them as she passed by to sit behind Cope. Maybe she could bug him easier now. Psyche. Professor Shackleton giggled softly, "I wouldn't want to do that! You'll need your eyes for all the notes you'll need to take in my class. I'll do my best to keep the ring out of the light!"
To the rest of the students who had politely greeted her, Professor Shackleton returned the greeting. Once it appeared everyone was settled, Professor Shackleton stood from her chair to signal that the class was beginning. She cleared her throat and began, "Good afternoon class. Welcome to the first lesson of Advanced Arithmancy. I hope you all picked up the textbook in Diagon Alley because you will most definitely need it this term! The focus of study for this term will be the Core and its Companion Numbers. Now, today's lesson should really be a review and will move fairly quickly. We are going to do a cursory overview of the Core. Anyone wishing to review the Core in more detail after the lesson may certainly stop by my office or perhaps form a study group with several of your classmates. I would allow you the usage of either this classroom or the classroom set-up for OWL and NEWT preparations."
Grabbing a large back of jelly slugs from her desk drawer, Shackleton made her usual stroll to the front of her desk, where she perched on the edge. "Now, with that said, will someone please name the four Core Numbers? I want just the names, no details about them just yet, please."
