Renesme sat nervously in the classroom .This was her first Arithmancy class as she was a first year student.She smiled at the professor and raised her hand saying,"Sorry for the late answer madam,May I say that Arithmancy is a branch of magic that is concerned with the magical properties of numbers;it is a method of divination by numbers first used by the ancient Greeks. They assigned values to the letters in the names of combatants to foretell the outcome of battles.".
Renesme knew some things about Arithmancy as she spent most of her childhood reading and studying her elder siblings's and parents old school books.It was thus no wonder for her family that she was sorted as a Ravenclaw.She stood shivering in her seat hoping her answer was correct.
