"Moving forward as this is just to give you a basic background of where numbers originated.... Today we will be delving into the mysteries of two of my favorite numbers. The number two and the number seven." She paused, letting this sink in, as well as letting them copy the text on the board, if they desired. "Please discuss among yourselves what you know about these two numbers and then we'll have a class discussion about them."

ooc: I'll be going offline for a couple hours; clothes shopping for my new job! <33 Feel free to discuss about the numbers with your neighbors and I'll continue tonight with the lesson =D

Salander looked away trying to see what he knows about 2 and 7 off the top of his head. "Two? Uh.... Two turtledoves? Two comes after One?; Two is cozy...."... but Three is more fun? hmm, maybe he should keep that last bit to himself.

"Seven.... its a betting man's favorite number; number of days in a week; popular stuff are named after it-- a soda, a movie, oh, yeah and the number of Horcruxes Voldermort made." Yeah that last bit was kinda significant.

He wasnt quite sure if this was what the Professor had in mind "Did you want something more from the textbook Professor?"
