She sighed, "What I meant to ask the teacher was am I adding the four to eleven or the four to two plus two?" she said this with strained politeness. There was a reason she was asking the teacher, and not some silly, mean first year.

"I never called you silly or mean." out load Ellie thought. Then she started freakin that this girl might read minds. But she knew occlumency. So she was safe.

Then she thought about it.... "Oh, that's true...." Maybe that was why they were magic numbers... or whatever they were called. She then tried to think of the same predicament with 22 and 33 in her head. Blah, math.

"Well, that's good for you..." she said, uncertainly.

She looked back at the teacher, waiting for her to confirm her question.

They were SO not acting out in her lesson. So not bickering in front of others . . . in front of her after she said explicitly before about chatter. After she already docked loads of points for chatting at the start of the lesson. No. They weren't.

Close eyes. And open.

And they were still going.

"Silence," Josephina said, through gritted teeth at the two first years. See; this was why Arithmancy was originally taught to only those older than third. Deep breath and then . . . "Five points from each of you for nonsensical bickering and detention for you both. Together." And maybe, perhaps, she could teach them a thing or two about getting along civilly.

Like if I had (8+3)+4, that would be 11+4. So should I break it up to 2+4 or keep it as 11+4? Am I making any sense at all?" Ellie was never too good at explaining things...

Now. Onto more important things, like TEACHING the lesson.

"Now Miss Stone, you asked a question about 11, 22, and 33. If you have one of these numbers in one part of your name, then this doesn't count as a master number. It only counts when you add up all the reduced components - whether it be first, middle, and last name or each number from your birthdate - and it totals 11, 22, 33. It is then, that the final total before reducing is one of these numbers that you have a master number." Josephina explained, hoping it made sense. "Does that help any? Good question though."

Turning to face the whole class, she leaned against the edge of her desk, "Now before I wrap things up, I must conclude by reminding you that calculations are tedious, but I also hope you saw today that it doesn't have to be difficult. The more work you show, the better off you'll be. Make sure if you have any questions at all, then don't hesitate to find me and ask. Once you copy down your homework, you are dismissed." With a flick of her wand, the homework appeared on the board behind her:

Quote:

Lesson One Homework

1) Calculate YOUR Heart's Desire/Soul Urge Number (2 points)

2) Provide an original interpretation for your Heart's desire number based upon the textbook description (3 points)

3) Calculate YOUR Personality Number (2 points)

4) Provide an original interpretation for your Personality number based upon the textbook description (3 points)

BONUS RP OPPORTUNITY!!
Find any staff member and offer to do a reading (calculation & interpretation) of ONE of the four core numbers for them to demonstrate your new Arithmancy skills.
(Note: You must provide link(s) to where this is RPed for maximum credit opportunity. This part also must be included in your original homework submission; as I don't have deadlines, then if you have interest in doing this - wait to send in the rest of your homework. If you send in separate PMs, then I will only grade your first PM sent)

***
Follow the Homework Submission Guidelines.

Reiterating again: I am not terribly strict about deadlines; take your time and do your best work. The most absolute deadline for ALL my assignments is when the final is posted, which isn't until like July (for your reference). SO plenty of time =)

"Miss Stone and Miss Malfoy-Lupin? Please stay behind so I can speak with you both about your detention time." Fina said rather coolly to the first years.
