Ana wrote her birthday and started the calculations.

14 April 2056

1+4 = 5
0+4 = 4
2+0+5+6 = 13 = 1+3 = 4

5+4+4 = 1+3 = 4

Yeah! done! Well done she hoped.

Ana opened her book and read what it said about the Life Path number 4.

work hard... hmm... not good...sounds tiring... loyal, yes that is good... I'm a builder... security yes i like it... but these careers are not very appealing...

Ana smiled reading what the book said.

It seemed to Professor Shackleton that majority of the students were eager to assess their own numbers, and that many already had started, so she confirmed the assignment, "Alright. Your own numbers it is! I'll come around and check your work as we go." And with that, she began strolling about the classroom, making her first stop at Mariel's desk.

"Ms. Morgan, since the class seemed to want to get to work on their own numbers, I'm going to acquiesce to their wishes. But thank you for volunteering. I very much appreciate your willingness to be an example. Perhaps I can find a way to incorporate you into the homework. Hmm..." And with that thought bouncing around in her mind, Macadrian made her way to the next student.

Shackleton peeked at Satine's parchment as she walked by and noticed a small mistake. "Ah, where does the 13 come from on the second line of your calculations? Where you wrote '1+3=4'? As you've written your birthday is December 12th, it should be 1+2=3 for December and the same for the day. Which would make your Life Path Number add up to 10 and reduce to a 1, not an 11. Go ahead and make those changes and then look in Chapter Six of the textbook for the description."

Professor Shackleton hurried over to Brant's desk and reviewed his calculations. "OK, so I see a small mistake here in the reduction of the year. Two plus zero plus five plus seven equals fourteen, not fifteen, and thus reduced to five, not six. So your Life Path should be a 1, not an 11. Make that correction and then recheck the textbook for the correct information."

"Very good work, Cedric. Now you can look up what the textbook says about 3 Life Paths. Chapter six please."

Shackleton scurried across the room to Sarah's desk and checked over her math. She found a slight error, "Your reduction of the month, day, and year were all correct, but when you added them across, you made a small mistake. Three plus four plus five equals twelve, not eleven, which reduced to three. So, you have a three Life Path. Check in the text for what that number means."

Professor Shackleton stopped in mid-stride as her eyes narrowed and focused on Niah. "Yes, Ms. Rial, we established that information already in the beginning of the lesson. Perhaps, you should move your seat to the front of the class and have a better chance of paying attention. Right now, we're calculating our own Life Paths. I suggest you get to work."

"Very good. Your calculations are all correct and you even have a Master Number Life Path. Take a gander at the textbook and see what it says the road of life will be for you." With a small smile, Shackleton departed toward the next student's desk.

Professor Shackleton looked over what the student copied on their parchment with brows pulled up in confusion. She explained, "I don't know where you got that information you have written, but if your Life Path is 8, what you copied from the textbook should be this," And she began to read, "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."

Turning her attention back to Sydney, she explained, "I certainly think this means you could run your own business, though I'm not sure how well Gringotts suits this. The goblins run the show down there and while you could certainly move up in the ranks, you won't ever really be in charge. As for the Ministry, perhaps you're meant to hold a leadership position - head of a division or a department? That would certainly fit with this description."


Professor Shackleton frowned, "I don't know where you're getting this information, but it is not from my assigned textbook. If you'd like to seek other resources outside of class, that is fine, but during my lessons please use the assigned textbook.


Making her way across the room to Laura's desk, Macadrian surveyed her work and found no errors. "Nicely done. Go ahead and read what the textbook says about 6 Life Paths."

"Correct correct. All calculations without error. Good. Begin thinking about what that might mean for your life."

Professor Shackleton perused Ruby's work and quickly noticed a small error, "In the date for your birthday you've written a six, but then below it you've written a three. Which one is it? Also, for the year, you've added that 12 reduces to 5, when it actually reduces to 3. So, you Life Path calculation is a bit off. I suggest redoing it and then rechecking the textbook for the description."

Professor Shackleton was confused by the error Thomas made. "You were doing well until the year. You should have added 2+0+5+7, but you've written 2+2+0+5. It should add up to 14, which reduces to 5, which you have written on the side here with no explanation for how you got it. But that 9 you calculated and did nothing with shouldn't even be on the paper. And then your final sum is correct. Hmm."


"Your math is entirely correct. Do you have a question for me?" Professor Shackleton inquired of the girl.



Professor Shackleton requested of the class, "Now that majority of you have calculated your Life Path and looked up what the textbook says about it, I'd like for you all to assess what you think it means. We never take the textbook at face value without applying to our own lives. So, does it apply? And if so, how? Do you think it is accurate or completely off the mark? Does it make you feel optimistic? Apprehensive? I want you to really delve into what this information could mean for you." Her eyes met with several students, then she encouraged, "Get to work."

Feeling her hair change to a shade of dull red, she knew she was embarrassed...how could she have wrote her own birthday down wrong..she must've been that anxious and nervous at the same time....

"O no, I wrote the wrong date down....I guess I was thinking December is the twelve month...my birthday is on the 13th of December..."

She crossed out the 12 and replaced it with a 13...."so then would it be okay?"

She sure hoped so because that life path number explanation was just her to the letter....or number....

Cedric gave a small grinned to the professor then he take a look to his textbook.As he find the findings,He write it in the parchment.

Cedric raised his hand to give his findings to their professor.

She knows that she like to paint but has always wanted to be a healer.

Okayyyyy, now... what was my Life Path number?

Jake rifled through his parchment, not knowing how he managed to do this already. After he fould the sheet which had the crossed out stuff, he knew he was close. And there it was, in royal blue ink. The number 7. After a cursory glance at the calculations, Jake nodded and went for the textbook.

Unable to hold in a giggle at the words "You are a born seeker" Jake read through the rest of the passage. He knew that this wasn't talking quidditch-wise, but it was still a tad accurate there.

"Weird," Jake murmured, reading the rest of it. He wasn't sure if he was seeing the similarity because he was looking for it... but... it did seem right. "This is like... right. I do... I tend to analyse everything... overly so, actually. And, I suppose, I do tend to help out and... well, I spend alot of time thinking and in the libr-"

He suddenly stopped himself, realising he had been ramble-mumbling. Looking around furtively, Jake hoped he got the number right, or he'd feel a right idiot.

Brant re-did his answers and this is what he got

2/21/2057

2=2
2+1=3,
2+0+5+7=14, 1+4=5

"Is this correct Professor?/ Brant said.

Demetria looked back at the board, and then to her book. "This is very well suited for me. I'm very antsy and cannot stay in one place for a long time. I think being an Auror would be great." she told professor Shackleton.

Laura smiled when Professor Shakelton anounced that her sums where correct. At least her maths skills had followed her into the wizarding world. Flicking through the text book and found the correct interpretation of her Life Path Number, 6;


Laura thought for a bit. Raising her hand, she began scribbling in a bit of paper.
"So, Professor, does this mean that I'm a very balenced person?" she asked. "It says that my vocation should be something that will enable me to help others, including medicine and teaching. I've always wanted to train as a healer or teacher, does this mean that I should? Is this, like, telling me that my ambitions are true to my life path?"

Natka worked out her Life Path Number quickly, quite sure this time that she hadn't encountered any problems. Or at least, so she hoped.

May 5th, 2055
5 / 5 / 2055

2 + 0 + 5 + 5 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3

5 + 5 + 3 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4

So, her Life Path Number was 4, then. Feeling inexplicably curious, Natka turned to the page which held the description of this number to read up on it in detail and see what it said about her life.

Your path will lead you to work hard and systematically. You'll learn the benefis of loyalty and following the rules, all the while remaining loyal and steadfast. Reliability is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - building for the long term. You're a born builder because security is a big deal for you. Others look to you to manage and control the situation. Career/vocation options include bookkeeping, accounting, and work where organization is valued - administration, education, business, etc.

Natka read this carefully once, and then again, trying to absorb all the information the paragraph was giving her and interpret it correctly. The moment she saw the mention of "accounting", she had the biggest urge to slam the book shut and declare that it was all a big sham.

But she forced herself not to do so, but to read on instead. After all, it did not mean that she would become and accountant - book-keeping was an option, too, and that sounded much more appealing. Natka just had to remember that this number had to be viewed alongside all the others for her to be able to see her Life clearly - well, sort of.

"What this is telling me is... that as opposed to Dem, for instance, I don't like change. I value security and reliability - which is sort of true, I guess. I mean, I am a rather shy person, most of the time, I think..." Natka trailed off for a moment before continuing.

"Systematic work - does that relate to the fact I work hard, academically speaking? And so, does it refer to the fact that I'm in Ravenclaw, or is that unrelated?" Natka asked Professor Shackleton, frowning slightly.

"Building and organising - not sure about the building, I'm not entirely sure what it means in this context. But I do see myself as organised, most of the time. And I like the thought of book-keeping or teaching as a form of education - although, would something to do with writing, for instance work at the Daily Prophet, also be fitting for a Number Four, or not?

I'd say this makes me... curious as to the way my life will turn out, whether or not it will be organised and based on loyalty and that sort of thing. It could be interesting," Natka summarized her interpretation of her Life Path Number to the professor, before, closing her textbook and looking up to see her teacher's opinion.

Ah crap! Trixie had been reading out of the wrong book. It was another one she had been given!

She raised her hand and then spoke. "Sorry Porfessor! I have writted down the correct one now," she said apologetically.

She wrote:

ONE (1): Your path will take you down the road to independence, and you'll learn its benefits standing on your own two feet and becoming a strong individual. Once you've honed these traits, you move to the next level - leadership. You're a born leader and your path in life will present you with many opportunities to demonstrate your ability. Your strong pioneering spirit, courage, and determination will serve you well along this road. Career/vocation options include fields where you can use your quick mental agility, such as business, health, government, or even a bookstore.

"My Life Path Number was 1," she said. "Hmm...does this mean that in my future I shall be trying to solve my problems by myself. That my career will be that of something I shall stand tall and proud with and something that I get to lead?" she asked curiously. If it was...she liked the sound of that.

Looking up from her notes when Professor Shackleton stopped at her desk, Mariel nodded as the professor spoke. She wasn't all that surprised seeing as she was the only one in the entire class to voice her specific opinion. "Oh, that's alright, Professor. I understand," she said, smiling brighter as she mentioned somehow incorporating her into the homework. That was the next best thing, she thought as she looked down at her calculations and once again turned to chapter six in the textbook.

September 8, 2054
9/8/2054
9=9
8=8
2+0+5+4=11=1+1=2
9+8+2=19=10=1
1

Okay, number one... Mariel read to herself from the textbook. Your path will take you down the road to independence, and you'll learn its benefits standing on your own two feet and becoming a strong individual. Once you've honed these traits, you move to the next level - leadership. You're a born leader and your path in life will present you with many opportunities to demonstrate your ability. Your strong pioneering spirit, courage, and determination will serve you well along this road. Career/vocation options include fields where you can use your quick mental agility, such as business, health, government, or even a bookstore.

Letting that digest for a moment, the third year began to deconstruct the information. Okay, independent, determination, quick mental agility - duh, I'm a Ravenclaw - those all sound like me... but what does that mean for my future? Mariel pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and forefinger while she tried to make sense of those words. She sometimes had a bit of difficulty with the interpretations - or so she thought in her perfectionism - but she was determined to come up with an accurate finding.

However, the word independent somewhat bothered her. Yes, she very much acknowledged that the description fit her quite nicely, but in terms of career opportunity, the Quidditch-obsessed girl really wanted to be a professional Quidditch player after she was done with school. And she needed to be a team player to be successful at that, didn't she? It wasn't exactly a one-woman kind of profession. She frowned slightly as she pondered this. Of course, even if she play after school, the young Ravenclaw knew that it wouldn't last too long and would probably need a back-up plan. How long did athletes play professionally? Once they got to be a certain age, they had to stop anyway.

Hmm, what else could she possibly do that involved independence, determination, and mental agility? Perhaps she could create and test new spells and potions? Yes, she enjoyed learning new things like that and how much more exciting would it be to be the one to invent them? That kind of thing would definitely require the traits attributed to the number one. Satisfied with her musings for the time being, Mariel sat back in her chair in anticipation of the next part of class.

Cam focused on his Life Path Number now and opened up his textbook, flipping page after page to see where that section was. Aha! He carefully read the words and used his finger as a guide and then re-read it just in case. Grabbing his quill, he copied down what the textbook had said and then just stared at it. 3. 3. 3. It was the magic number, wasn't it?

Woooooow. It was if numbers were like psychic. Spontaneous. YES! Creative. Uh huuuuh. And he did live his life with jooooy and imagination. Oh yeah 3 described him perfectly. Artistic he had to argue and he wasn't sure if he would be any good at writing or speaking or designing at all. But who knows, the numbers were magic. But 3 was mooooore--waaaay more magical than the rest of the numbers. Psh. Yeah which meant Cam and the rest of the 3s were more magical. Booyah.

"I think this would mean that I would get a long with people real well," which he did, "and that I might possibly get famous in the future because I would inspire others and a born communicator." Bahahaha, not going to happen.

"It would also mean that my career job could possibly deal with something artistic like drawing ooooorr..." He couldn't continue, because well, he couldn't picture himself as an artist. He phailed at drawing and such.

Merlin's pants he'd gotten so behind. Raiden blushed as he wrote out his numbers on his paper.

17 11 2054

1+7 =8
1+1 =2
1+1 =2

8+2+2=12=3

Oh he was a three. He flipped his pages in his textbook and found the right passage, scribbling it down quickly.

Quote:

THREE (3): Your path will entice you to be both spontaneous and creative, to live your life with joy and imagination. You will learn the benefits of optimism and enthusiasm, and how to express your emotions and exuberance. Once you've mastered these concepts, you'll move on to the next phase - inspiring others. You're a born communicator and your wit and lightheartedness will help others see the joy in any situation. Artistic, creative, and articulate are words to describe someone with a 3 Life Path. Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.

...oh wow. Raiden reread it again, staring. That was actually... really accurate. He raised his hand tentatively.

"Mine's actually... really... scarily accurate," he said softly. "It says I'm really positive and enthusiastic, which is true, I think. And it says that I can help others see joy in any situation, which I like a lot because I like making other people smile. And I like having lots of friends too, and this seems to point towards a person who'd have a lot of friends." He poked the paper where he'd written the word 'articulate'. "That one though... might not be very true. I'm not very good at expressing things, and I think I have a set word group that I use more often than other words that I could use..."

He looked around the classroom for a second, wondering if he was actually supposed to be saying this aloud or if they were supposed to... write it all down... he settled for both.

"I like mine," he added a moment later. "Even if it's not completely right... it's very positive and it makes me happy to think that someday I might fulfill every part of what's described by my life number."

Shana quickly wrote the numbers on her paper and began to work them out.

27 6 2056

2+7 = 9
6
2+5+6 = 13 = 1+3 = 4

9+6+4= 19
1+9 = 10
1+0 = 1

She then got her textbook and looked for the right page.

Shana stared at the page with wide eyes.She didn't think she was very independant and she certainly wouldn't open her own business.She re-read it and shook her head,She'd never been a leader,But mabye she could try,after all this couldn't be wrong it wasn't like she'd forgotten her birthday but was it wrong ?Shana raised her hand slightly. Umm Professor Shackleton,Is there any chance that this could be wrong ? she shrugged and put her arm down.She didn't even like to be team captain in those sports muggles played let alone a leader.She shrugged and looked up at the professor.

Tiffany rubbed her eyes as she stared at the calculations on the board. It was so confusing! And the fact that she had been daydreaming really didn't help. Pulling a new piece of parchment and a quill out of her bag, she started scribbling down what she though she had to do.

17th October 2057
10/17/2057

1+0=1
1+7=8
2+0+5+7=14 1+4=5

1+8+5=14 1+4=5

Life Path Number= 5

So it was 5, What did that mean? Looking around, Tiffany noticed several students with their books out. Pulling the text book out of her now unusually light bag, she started reading.

FIVE (5): You'll have many forks along your path and you'll welcome each change as a new opportunity with unknown results. Change is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - championing freedom. You're progressive and super-resourceful, which make you equally good at many different trades. Career/vocation options include working with the public, advertising, publicity, or sales - any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine. Travel is well-suited to you.

Wow, that does not sound like me Tiffany thought to herself. She wanted to work with animals. Maybe she could be a Care of Magical Creatures teacher? She loved Dragons! A Dragon Healer? Jumping at the sound of someone laughing, Tiffany realised she was daydreaming again. She really needed to stop that. Raising her hand nervously, she waited for the teacher to check her work.

Shaunee read over the textbook. "Medicine, huh." she thought she had always wanted to be a doctor in the muggle world so maybe it was her destiny or something to be a healer in this world as that was what the textbook seemed to point towards. Caring, that sounding like her. So far Shaunee was really enjoying Arithmancy, though it seemed Laura wasn't as much. Maybe she could help Laura after class.
There was one part of the passage that confused her,"once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase". What did that mean? Shaunee raised her hand to see if the teacher could shed any light on it. What was the next phase? Did it mean the next phase of life or something completly different.

Iris looked down at her parchment, double checking what she had written

12th February 2058

2058 = 2 + 0 + 5 + 8 = 15
1 + 5 = 6

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 0 = 2


Iris had gotten this much down, then got rather stuck... "gosh, now what, I can't remember what to do next." she thought.

Iris began to get a little frustrated, she hated maths - never could figure it out. "Um, Professor." She said, raising her hand, "I don't understand what to do next." she said, hoping she would just come over to help.

Iris then looked back to her work and tried to make heads or tails of it whilst waiting for the Professor Shackleton to come over.

12th February 2058

2058 = 2 + 0 + 5 + 8 = 15 -> 1 + 5 = 6

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 0 = 2
---
6 + 3 + 2 = 11 -> 1 + 1 = 2


Iris smiled to herself, she had gotten through it herself, hopefully getting it right. "Now when the professor comes over, all I have to do is tell her that i think i figured it out, she'll check it and ta da! " she thought to herself. Iris then looked over to Aaron, who was sat a few seats away, and gave him a wide eyed smile that clearly said, "gosh this class is difficult."

Jack looked at his piece of parchment and wondered if he had done it right:
10/02/2057
1+0=1
0+2=2
2+0+5+7=14 1+4=5

1+2+5=7

Hoping that he had done it right, he raised his hand and waited for the professor to check it.

Alana looked over her corrected parchment with her Life Path number on it. Her Life Path Number was 4. She opened her Arithmancy book and began reading into her number. Ok. Alana said to herself. Some of this fits into my life, but its in two different ways. "Professor. I can see how my Life Path number fits into my goals but only it does in two different ways. I've always wanted to be an Auror, which my LPN explains because it says that I am trustworthy, and reliable, and follow rules and how security is a big deal for me. Which is all true of me, I love to be in control of tough situations, but although I also love organization, I don't think smaller jobs like bookkeeping or accounting would be good for me. I'd like to have a bigger purpose.

Diane read from a textbook, "The Life Path 7 suggests that you entered this plane with a gift for investigation, analysis, and keen observation. You are a thinker of the first order. You evaluate situations very quickly, and with amazing accuracy. As a result, you are thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to meet a high standard of performance, too."

She stopped to think. "That means I could be anything from writter to research doctor, to scientific investigator to philosopher and everything in between. None of these matters and paths really end for one, which means I could be stuck in phase one for ever... Nothing I would like more than an eternal quest for wisdom, a philsopher maybe." She chuckled. "But I do wonder, do I have such little social skills?"

There were various interpretations in other books but they all said the same: "Chances are you are a very charming and refined individual with great poise and a quick wit. Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably aren't a very social person." The other textbook's description, she liked better. Possibly, it was truer for her that she "guard your connection to people carefully. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people, and you avoid them." or that she is "intellectual, scientific, and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at your own independent conclusion", it sounded a lot more flattering.

"um...yes professor. i have 11 as my number and i looked up into the book and it says we have to look into 11/2. i wanted to know why do we take 2 and not add 1+1?" asked isabella


Isabella flipped the page where the numbers and their meanings were discussed. she liked this whole concept of knowing who you are and who you will be by just reading the numbers and calculating them. but she didnt know whether all this can really be true. she got down to reading the description for 11/2:


ELEVEN (11/2): Much is expected of you with this Master Life Path. Your path will lead you to illuminate humankind inspirationallly. Sometimes you will work at the level of the 2 to bring toward you meaningful associations so that others will find you accessible. Once you've mastered your lessons, you'll move on to the next phase - becoming an inpirational leader. You're a born charismatic leader, magnetic and electric. You'll often find yourself in the spotlight, as the center of attention. Your mission is to be someone others look to for illumination and truth, and the truer you are to Universal principles, the happier and more successful you'll be on your path. Career/vocation options include any field where you can be the teacher, diplomat, or speaker or any field were you'll be in the spotlight and able to work with large groups.

"what does level 2 mean?" "maybe life path number two," she thought and flipped back the page to read about number 2 and then got back on reading number 11/2. well it did make sense, but how much of it was describing what she was? she thought
"ok...lets see spotlight and center of attention?" she thought,"i dont know" she said to herself shaking her head. she gulped when she read the line "charismatic, magnetic and electric leader" "and ...what!...an inspirational leader"
"bloody hell, what is that supposed to mean?am i going to be a saint!" it struck her she shook her head once again.
"i dont know where is this leading to. ok fine lets look for something else and analyze,"
"ok career...teacher, speaker or diplomat..."
"hm...i would like to work for magical law and enforcement...so does that mean it might be related to speaker or diplomat?" Bella's mum was in that department and she always would talk about the magical law and enforcement and hence it had captured Bella's attention.

Bella hesitated for sometime but raised her hand
"um excuse professor? what does inspirational leader mean?is it has got nothing to do with being a saint, right?" she asked. she knew she would be hearing some sniggering behind her back.
"and will work at department of law and enforcement or in the ministry by any chance mean being a speaker or a diplomat?" she asked

Grace hurried to calculate her number:
She then opened the right page:

Grace read for twice. Some parts were accurate to her, yes, but she wasn't sure about some too. "--Living responsibly at home and working to achieve balance between giving and receiving.--aid and service--You're a born counselor--" That was fine, until the jobs. She didn't want to teach, heal or decorate. "any job in the service industry where you can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others" part was true, probably... But not one of those jobs. She was sure. To come to think about it, more than half of it was accurate for herself, but... It wasn't her main aim "to achieve balance between giving and receiving." She didn't want to talk against though -she didn't want to talk in any way-, so she remained silent and hoped the teacher'd choose to talk about "Life Path Number Six".

Lyra wrote down her own life path number

March 9, 2057

3-9-2057
so.

3=3
9=9
2+0+5+7= 14 - 1+4=5

3+9+5= 17 - 1+7= 8

so she was a 8? Lyra quickly looked up in the text book.

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.

Career/vocation options include any field where you can be in charge and where you can utilize your superior skill of good judgment.

Lyra raised up her hand hoping the teacher could explain further.
