| | |  Lesson 1: Introduction to Arithmancy and the Energy of Numbers
You enter the Arithmancy classroom to see neat and exactly-positioned rows of wooden desks and chairs, the latter of which have cushions in a myriad of colors and textures to match your comfort and liking. The walls are filled with thick wooden shelves, on which rest a seemingly endless number of Arithmancy texts and the occasional Ancient Runes and Divination reference. When you look to the front of the room, you see a tall, blonde-haired woman leaning against a desk made of dark angelique wood. In contrast to the darkness of the desk, this woman appears bright and vibrant, some of it due to her bright fuschia robes and some of it due to the vitality of her aura. The woman, your professor, is a new face among the Hogwarts staff. She smiles at you as you enter the classroom and gestures for you to take a seat... | |

"The number 4 represents the traits you listed Professor." Sini said after raising her hand, "It also represents hard work, planning, management and order."

"Number 4 represents those traits." Sabrina said. "Along with hard work, planning, cautious, conventional, management and order, building, symbolizes putting things into form, organization and practical."

Saylie couldn't remember this one, it was either 4 or 5. "Um, 4?" She didn't want to be wrong, but a wrong answer was better than not even trying.

Lexi quickly jotted down all her classmates answers. She was going to have to pay close attention if she wanted to do well in this class.

Wow, he sure was getting quite a lot of answers right, today. Shel smiled to himself as he flipped open his journal and began to jot down several points of significance in it, his ears still strained to hear the Professor.

Sabrina wrote all of this down in her journal. She was learning soo much! Arithmacy is quite a fascinating subject after all. She was really looking forward to Transfiguration as well and she hoped she had earned points for her house. That would be something. Eyes on the sheet in front of her, Sabrina continued to write all of this down in her neat handwriting.

Ginny smiled to herself, she got it right. So she did remmeber something. Ginny smiled at isobell sittign next to her and continuied to mindlessly twiddle her blonde hair around her index finger. She loved this class she never liked muggle math but this was fun.she scribbled another note down in her journal, her small slanted curved letter looked so perfect on the page. "I htink it does becouse the four fonders structured the school, all of them helped build it and orgonise it, i think it fits quite well," ginny said but still slightly pondering about the question.

Zoraida had read hogwarts a history and about the four founders. They each seemed to represent sub parts of the number 4. Zora said " Yes it does as it seems the founders represented subparts of the number four which the houses to some extent represent today. Like my house represents hard work and such."

"The keyword 'foundation' fits because they formed Hogwarts, a place where young boys and girls could be taught magic. They organized it, and organized the four houses. The other keywords fit, too: Collectively, the Founders are well-known for their posession of wisdom, practicality and power. Even individually, Rowena Ranvenclaw constitutes the larger part of wisdom, Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor power - though of two, different kinds - and Helga Hufflepuff hard work,"

Isabella had already filled two pages of her journal with all the information they were getting. "Maybe this class isn't going to be as bad as I thought," she said to herself.

After learning about number 4,it is clearly that the school's foundators were meant to be 4,since the number represents foundation and organization.

“Well Professor, I would think that Godric Gryffindor would be someone who could be represented by the number four. From what I have heard of him he seemed to be very hard working, practical, powerful and orgnaizational. I guess that all our founders would have to be that way actually.” Sini stated after raising her hand.

Isabella thought about the question. "Yes Professor," she replied. "The 4 founders created and organized a place for young witches and wizards to learn magic and successfully made it into a very good school. They had to have been very knowledgeable in order to make this work." | |

"Actually, I think the number 4 would represent Hufflepuff," said Excelsior. "And I believe that 1 would be Godric Gryffindor, while 5 seems to represent Rowena Ravenclaw the most. Oh yes, I think 8 would be Salazar Slytherin," he said thoughtfully. | |
