"Changes yes, five would be correct, however I do believe I explicitly asked for a number dealing with farewells. So number nine is correct," Fina nodded at the girl, who added about it being graduating. She knew that young Hufflepuff had it in her . . . "Graduation, yes. It could be for that too."

However, right now was not about summer. It was about, whatever the professor was talking about. And that was...what? What was this a trick question? MEEP! Barely beginning and she was already confused! SUMMER! See what you did to her brain!?!

But with another person speaking up, her eyes flickered over the description of numbers, thinking it over. Five? "I would have said three." she commented, mostly to the professor then the girl. Not really an answer, but just more of an opinion. No, and it had nothing to do with the fact that it had the same astrological sign as her either. Pfft. Or maybe it was because of that.

Pssh.

Three? Oh my! For once, Evelyn was not correct, which meant she'd likely been daydreaming . . . about Merlin only knew what. "Evelyn dear? Are you feeling alright or perhaps you should skide off the lesson today and head straight to the hospital wing." Because clearly if the girl was saying three had to do with farewells, she was definitely feeling ill. Any other student would have been different, but Evelyn, who was rather gifted in Arithmancy, Hadley questioned her well-being.

"Yes, precisely! 9 is about completion." Fina nodded at the Ravenclaw.

Duhhhhhhh. The universe revolved around Fletcher, couldn't you tell?

"Mr Fletcher, did that shrinking charm in the tournament have an adverse affect on your ego? Because perhaps you would do well being that small once again?" Fina raised an eyebrow at the conceited Hufflepuff. What was it with Hufflepuffs and being so conceited? No scratch that, Hufflepuff boys. They were like that when she was a student too...

"And no, number one is symbolic of beginnings, not completion." And if he'd read his book instead of worrying about his looks, then he'd have likely known that!

I believe that in Christian culture the number 9 is the number used when judging man and all of his works." She paused for a minute. "Professor, does 9 being the number of completion have anything to do with it being the final single digit?" If so, did that make 99 a super number of completion and 999 even more so?

This was why Josephina liked this Gryffindor; she always came up with the most interesting back-stories for why she was selecting a certain number. "You are correct with 9 being the number i was referring to about completion." Thinking about the girl's question, she pressed her lips together thoughtfully. "Why don't you tell me your thoughts on that? Do you-" she addressed the class now with this question, "think that the number 9 being the number of completion has anything to do with it being the final single digit? Or is it merely . . . coincidence?"

"Well, it could be 5 because it signifies change and transition...but it could also be 9 which symbolizes endings..." She said. There really was no specific number for good bye here.

The start of the summer brings freedom, and the end of it brings change: A new school year. Eitherway, it's still goodbyes... in a way."

That was a lot of waffle, and not really much of a proper answer. Keeping her hand up, the prefect continued, "But... I think that, like some other people have said, the number you're referring to is the number Nine. It symbolises not only endings, but also other things that you'd hope to have gained a greater understanding of before saying goodbye to Hogwarts, such as universal oneness, dedication, compassion, multi-talent and benevolence."

"If I asked for change, it'd have been five, but as I asked about completion and farewells, you're correct with it being 9." Fina smiled at the two Slytherin girls.

Another one to suggest the number three? Pfft, she was probably just listen to Evelyn's delusional comments. "No my dear, the number I was referring to was the number 9."

"Could I get some shout-outs for characteristics about the number nine? Anything at all you know about this number, please share out loud." Good way to start off with talking about a particular number.

ooc: try not to repeat characteristics and please limit your character's shoutouts to one or two to give others a chance. Thanksss <3
