Default Arithmancy Lesson One: Welcome & Transit Cycles I

The large wooden door to the Arithmancy classroom is held open by magic, allowing you to see the numerous desks arranged in rows within. Golden numbers float about the room, encircling the brazieres illuminating the classroom and bouncing lazily off the desktops. On each desk is a fresh, leather-bound journal full of blank parchment and a blank piece of cardstock, thicker than the standard parchment, which is folded in half lengthwise and standing upon the desk upright.

Professor Shackleton-Clark stands along the right side wall of the room, glancing out the windows onto the Grounds below. As you enter, she turns and offers a welcoming smile. This is going to be a great year!

OOC: This lesson is for ALL students of ANY year.

Well now this was an answer LouAnn knew and pretty much understood. Hoping to be among the first to answer this time rather than among the last, LouAnn raised her hand. "We get the Personal Transit from our first name," she answered. There. Short and sweet and to the point...and hopefully correct.

Ooh ooh. Livvy knew this. Yes she did... oh yes she did. Raising her hand, the sixth year answered, "We find our Physical transit from our first name... I believe." At this moment, she flipped through the pages of the textbook to the chapter of the Transit Cycles, briefly reading the section they were on and reading ahead a little. Then Livvy looked up to see what the Professor would be saying next.

Realizing that many others had already answered the question, Ella found no harm in responding also. "Derived from your first name, professor."

From the corner of her eye, she saw James. She waved slightly and smiled.

Ella was impressed by mostly everyon ein the class; they knew so much. Especially the Ravenclaws. Nothing against Gryffies either. Teehee.

Ella winked at James, hoping to send the message, Courtyard later?

Giving a light smile, and actually already knowing the answer to the question, Tammy's hand shot up faster than usual and she gave a little smile, before answering herself. "I believe it is deprived form your first name, right?" Maybe it was, oh noes. Doubting herself, wasn't working.

She needed to be sure, be sure be sure be sure. Glancing down at her text book, she ran her finger down the side of it quickly. Then admired the sticky note on chapter 2, while the title Chapter 28, sat at teh top of the page she had open.

"All those who said the letters of our first name are correct and your houses will receive points! Remember to only use the name on your birth certificate when determining the Physical Transit.

"Let's get a bit more specific than just saying 'first name' though. How specifically do we determine the Physical Transit? What do we do to 'calculate' it, although calculating isn't really involved per se."
Professor Shackleton wondered who would know this answer.

do you not used the a table to give letters values and then add up the name values and if you have double figures add them until you get down to a singal number. james said with a air of hopfulness

Fannntasssticc.

Ella didn't want to get distracted by James; she loved the fact that he was in the class, yet she got lost too easily. She refocused on Arithmancy.

"Professor, I'm sorry if this would be little off topic, but are we ever going to do paired assignments in this class?" Ella asked tentatively. Smiling, hoping.
