Professor Shackleton posted the following on the board while the students took notes:
Quote: Steps for Finding your Destiny Number
1. Write out your birth name and assign the appropriate numbers to each letter.
2. Add each name separately; you may get a double-digit sum.
3. Reduce any double-digit sums you get for each name to its single-digit root number, but take note of any double-digit sums that equal a Master Number or Karmic Number. (NOTE: We will not be studying Karmic Numbers this term, but you should be aware of their potential existence within the calculations of the Destiny Number.)
4. Add the reduced numbers for your first, second, and third names together. (If you have multiple middle names, be sure to include those too!)
5. Reduce the double-digit sum to a single root number - unless your result is a Master Number (11, 22, or 33).
"Please read the instructions on the board and calculate your own Destiny Number. It is easy to make mistakes in adding all the numbers from your name together. I know - I've made mistakes myself! For this reason, be sure to check your addition more than once!
"You can read the meaning of your Destiny Number in the textbook. If you're really interested, you can also look to see if your Destiny Number is a Karmic Number (10, 13, 14, 16, or 19), though you're not required to do so.
"Again, the two main things to remember - add each name separately. Each name in your birth name has meaning and it's important to preserve the number of each name. Also, once you know each name's number, reduce them and add across. You may begin."
Professor Shackleton remembered something she wanted to write down, so she hurried to her desk and made a note. Afterward she announced, "Oh, and a bit off-topic, though I'm sure you're interested, so far house points have been awarded to Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, with Slytherin taking a clear lead. Who's gonna step up their game?" Professor Shackleton smirked as she jokingly teased the students.
