He scanned over the work she wrote down. "Hmm.. well, I think for my life path number, the first step is 5+9+(2+0+5+5)." Aiden glanced back between his written birthday numbers and the numbers she had written. "I think you were thinking of your birth year," he said, politely.
Next he looked to the Destiny Number she had gotten. He gave a smile and nodded. "Yep, I think that's right."
Now it was his turn to delve into things.
"All right, so.. I believe your Life Path Number is four, and your Destiny Number is three." The Gryffindor flipped through his textbook, eventually finding the explanations for her numbers. "So, this is you, Cadence.." He turned the book towards her so that she could have a look.
Cadence laughed a little as he corrected her mistake.
"Oh right!" she said, scribbling out her work for his Life Path Number with a smile.
"Sorry, obviously numbers aren't my thing. I'm more of a word person," she said, smiling at him and beginning to recalculate his Life Path Number.

Life Path Take 2
5 September 2055
5 + 9 + (2+5+5)
14 + 12
5 + 3
8
Looking back up at him from her work, she smiled again.
"So, your Life Path Number is REALLY 8. Does that sound better?" she asked him. Then he had moved on, and she checked his calculations. Those all seemed to be correct. As he flipped through the pages, Cadence felt a bit nervous for what the book would tell her. At first, she crinkled her nose at the possible career options the book gave her: book keeping, accounting. Those didn't sound like fun at all. Then she read a little further and it mentioned education. That peaked her interest a bit. And when she read her explanation of her Destiny Number, she just smiled. That sounded just like her, always wanting to make people happy and encourage other people.
Scanning further down the page, though, she saw something that said:
Quote:
TWENTY-TWO (22/4): Your path is special and will lead you to turn dreams into reality. The 22/4 Life Path, like the 4, is one who builds and manifests - but with a larger purpose. Once you've mastered this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - becoming a Master Builder. You're a born creator of activities that benefit all and you're seen by others as extraordinary. You reinforce your word with deeds, over and over again, and others know your word is as good as gold. Good management principles are behind what you do and what you do is for the lasting good of humankind. Career/vocation options include a planner, organizer, diplomat, minister, or any work that allows you to utilize your considerable talent for organizing, being efficient, and applying your practical know-how to build a dream. You command a respect and are seen as an expert in your field, destined to be a leader who is both practical and inspirational.
And looked back up at Aiden, pointing at the passage.
"Wait, but wouldn't this one be me since before you simplified the number the last time it was 22?" she asked interestedly.
Now it was his turn. She looked up his numbers in textbook and read them aloud to him:
Quote:
Life Path Number: EIGHT (8): Your path will lead you to work out the difference between money and the real value of life. You must learn what to do with your natural power and authority, but this is not an easy path. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - being in charge. You're a born boss and your natural power and authority cause others to look to you when a decision needs to be made. The reward or you won't necessarily be financial but may come in terms of accomplishment and legacy. Career/vocation options include any field where you can be in charge and where you can utilize your superior skill of good judgment.
Destiny Number ONE (1): Your mission in life is to cultivate the self and to become a leader. Your purpose in life is to be indomitable, take the initiative, be independent, original, innovative and take charge - all to develop your sense of self, your will, and your determination. Learning to stand on your own, think for yourself, and individuate your character, as well as new things, new ideas, and unique activities provide great opportunity for your to approach your destiny. You are destined for leadership - be it and teach it.
After reading from the book, Cadence looked up at the boy and considered him for a moment.
"Right, so, this is saying that you were born to be a leader... a great leader by the sound of it! It says you're determined and like to be in charge of things. Oo! Maybe you're going to be Minister of Magic!" she said laughing a little.
"Does that sound like you?"
This was so much fun!
