| | |  Office of Professor M.A. Shackleton-Clark
Despite that the Arithmancy Office had been occupied by the same professor for the previous six terms, and that it would once again be occupied by that same woman for yet another, the appearance of the office this term differs strikingly when compared to the previous six. In addition to the large original windows on the right wall of the office, showing the vast Hogwarts Grounds, new enchanted windows have been added to the office's left wall, allowing copious amounts of sunshine to bathe the office and depicting in the distance an Irish castle of great significance to Macadrian Shackleton-Clark.
In addition to new windows, the walls sport a new hue of robin's egg blue and dozens of portraits and photographs in ornate gold frames. The largest of these portraits depicts newly wed Macadrian and her husband, former Hogwarts professor Fabian Clark, in their wedding attire smiling joyously on their happiest of days.
Inside Professor Shackleton-Clark's office is one familiar object - a large, heavy mahogany desk, behind which stands a yellow floral-patterned cushioned armchair. On the desk sit more photos in frames with numerous moving pictures of her loved ones, including her two sisters, both identical to each other and to her; her cousin Max and his growing family; her father walking her down the aisle; and Macadrian and her husband Fabian on their honeymoon in Greece. The desk also sports crystal vases filled with purple roses and orange lilies (Professor Shackleton-Clark's favorites), numerous small white candles in glass votive holders, an ink well and a peacock feather quill, a fresh blank piece of parchment, and plenty of books on the subject of Arithmancy.
The wall behind her desk consists entirely of shelves filled with books, most of which relate to Arithmancy, although there is an entire section for books on other school subjects, particularly Ancient Runes, Divination, and Astronomy, and some books on topics not taught in the school, including healing and medicinal potions to name a few.
By the large non-magical windows, bedecked with beautifully-ornate gold curtains, stands a mahogany coffee-table covered in a number of Wizarding magazines, spanning topics from academic research in Arithmancy to world politics to witch's fashion. Surrounding the table is a squashy chaise lounger and a small, comfortable looking couch, over which is draped several thick quilts. Next to the chaise is a wooden cabinet with wooden doors, containing mugs, glasses, and small plates for entertaining company, such as students or other staff members, as well as an assortment of sugary snacks. In the fireplace across the room is a fresh pot of hot cocoa warming above the fire.
If you wish to feast your eyes on the interior of this professor's very charming office, you must knock (and please do so loudly as Professor Shackleton-Clark tends to hum to herself at a rather high volume) and await her approval for entrance. | |

I understand Pinnacles well; I just don't understand some finer details." This would be a good thing. And he also liked to get to know how his teahers taught and worked. Professor Shackleton nodded and began, "Master Numbers are any repeating double digit number, like 11, 22, 33, 44, etc. At the same time, the reduced number of these double-digits is called the root number and is an equally present vibration in these numbers.
"In my class, we only discuss eleven, twenty-two and thirty-three because these are the only Master Numbers for which explanations and research exists. The higher Master Numbers are currently being researched by a number of Arithmancers, but a consensus hasn't yet been reached.
"Each of the Master Numbers requires a particular kind of mastery and reveals a particular kind of potential and increased responsibilities. All of them indicate an opportunity for leanring and integrating spiritual information, but this learning often comes through trials, tests, or stressful circumstances." Quote:

He looked at Shackleton straight in the eye, knowing that people always thought he was lying when he didn't. Which was alot. In actual fact, Jake didn't often lie. "Please... I were just... ruh-readin'..." Macadrian didn't buy his explanation for a minute and seriously contemplated removing the book from his possession. However, she thought more might be learned about what Jake was up to if she allowed him to continue with it but she tracked him from this point on. "Fine. Take your book and get out of my office. This detention is over. I'll see you again next week, Mr. Upstead."

NO.
No, she did not.
Scowling, Jake gave one curt nod and reached out for the book, not quite snatching it but taking it in a kind of hurried way, before grabbing the backpack from the desk and shoving it back inside. He gave one last lingering look at the Professor and his expression did not change. This was the woman he used to have a great deal of admiration for, and now he had the feeling he was being treated like something unpleasant found on the sole of one's shoe. Slinging his bag roughly over his back, Jake turned and left the office in a foul temper.
And he had absolutely no intention of returning.

Matheu listened to the professor. He came across Master Numbers often in his calculations and they puzzled him. " So what should I read them as when they show up in my calculations?"

Kay had found her way to the Professor office instead of the common room. She just couldn't go back there. Taking a deep breath Kay knock on the Professor's door and waited for what would come.

Sarah called as she jogged along the corridor to Professor Shackleton-Clarks office.It was a good thing that the young girl was going to their Head of House to tell her what happened, but she couldn't let her do it alone. "I thought I'd come with you to see her," she smiled, patting her on the arm, "bit of moral support?" | |

"I thought I'd come with you to see her," she smiled, patting her on the arm, "bit of moral support?" Kay just looked at her. 'Why?' Kay thought. She didn't think anyone would come with her. "You don't have to. I almost kill all of you. I blow up the common room." Kay said feeling very unsure of herself. "Maybe you could not be so close to me, what if...." Kay stepped away from Sarah. She didn't want what happen with Lorcan to happen to Sarah.

I would check if the calculation you're working through has an interpretation for master numbers, and if so, read through that information. They demonstrate that you're working at a heightened state of existence, so they aren't to be ignored or dismissed." Quote:

How quickly this term had passed and very soon there would be no more knocking!

Kay heard the Professor call out to her and she sighed. "Yes, Professor." Kay looked at Sarah and walked into the office. "Professor, I have to tell you about the common room. I...mmm....Blow it up." Kay said looking at the floor. How could she tell the professor she lost control of her magic. "I lost control of my magic and when it was over I had hurt some people and well blow up the common room." Kay said not looking up at the Professor. She started to cry and the shaking started again. "I can't seem to stop my magic now. What do I do?" Kay felt the heat returning to her skin. She thought maybe she should run before she blow up the Professor.
