Having spent the last day rearranging the chairs back into traditional rows format, Professor Hadley was sitting perched in a CHAIR this time behind the large desk at the front. What was usual about the way she was sitting was the fact that she still had a book in front of her, flipping a page every moment or so.
In the front corner of the classroom, you might notice Hadley's puppy, Baisley, who's busy gnawing at a bone. But please, don't be afraid, he's harmless unless you make him angry.
Every so often, Fina will glance up from her page she was reading and smile warmly as you take your seats. "Please take out your notebooks and a quill and just relax." She said casually.
ooc: take your seats, keep your chatter to a minimum, and the lesson will begin soon-ish, prolly closer to late afternoon/evening for EST tomorrow (Friday) *nods* <33 Lesson has begun. Please pretend as though you've been here the whole time if you didn't get to RP entering <33

Right.
So this would be the point in the lesson where, once again, Sierra wished she had a slightly shorter last name. There were just too many letters in Greingoth, but then again, she couldn't imagine having any other last name. She had a lot of pride in it, as it came from her father's side of family (of course).
With a quick glance toward her textbook, Sierra began jotting down the letters in her name and the numbers each corresponded to.
S I E R R A
1 9 5 9 9 1
H O P E
8 6 7 5
G R E I N G O T H
7 9 5 9 5 7 6 2 8
...what?! Where were the numbers three and four?! With her eyes wide open in surprise, Sierra turned back to her book to see what she was supposedly missing in her life.
Sierra glared at her results. She hated being told what her flaws were, and besides--she disagreed on a few of those. Hard work?! She'd been working non-stop this past week doing last minute homework and blasted final exams.
WOOO! Another Class I Didn't Even Know Was Happening!
Goo goo g'joob
Jacob was barely there. He really didn't care for any class anymore. The Year was almost up, Finals were almost done, and OWLs were canceled. Why was here? Because after this term there was a great chance that he was gonna drop this course along with many others... but that would be something he and Vindictus would have to talk about.
So Jacob just followed the professors instructions, not really understanding what they were actually doing.

Hmmm... YES! He wasn't missing any-
DAMN IT!
Seven... why do you have tyo be such a pain?
Oh and someone else wanted to know what it meant too... that 'kick the Claws' kid... whats his face... John... Jack... Something like that.
Jacob hadn't been listening when Hasley was telling them where to find all the stuff so he raised his hand. "Yeah, Seven's being a pain. What does it mean if I'm missing it?" Such a pain.
He looked at some of the number sevens in the book, some of them meant that he should be shunned by his friends... That wasn't very nice.

The lesson on karma and its debts was rather interesting and Simon had been to busy listening and writting down notes to supply stuff of his own. At the instructions to work out their own, the sixth year took out a new sheet and went to work writting out his full name as well as the numbers assigned to it.
As he remembered from the previous arithmacy lesson, his last name was full of 2's and 5's but thankfully his first and middle name provided a few more. Now which numbers were missing he mused to himself counting 1-10 out in his head as he spotted them.
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...9...woops no 8.
Simon then put down his quill and moved to his text book, flipping until he got to the meanings of numbers and scrolling down to number 8.
Quote:
8: Authority, finances, business, success, material wealth, organization, self-mastery
Authority and organization. Maybe thats why we didn't do so hot in quidditch...hadn't gotten those two things down and messed up the team.

Nika scribbled down the notes as fast as she could and then she began to calculate the numbers like everyone else.
Quote:
N-I--K-A-R-A-E-A-D-L-E-R
5-9-2-1-9-1-5-1-4-3-5-9
She stuck out her tongue and furrowed her eyebrows. What's missing? Wow. A lot of numbers. Nika ticked off all the numbers one through nine to find out that she is missing three. Nika quickly took out her text book and flipped through her pages and read.
Quote:
6: Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues
7: Analysis, research, solitude, wisdom, spiritual focus, investigative, mystical
8: Authority, finances, business, success, material wealth, organization, self-mastery
Nika read through each number and nodded her head. Well she could understand some of the things but others didn't seem right. As she read number 6 she noticed family focus. That was the part that stuck out to her the most. What is this trying to tell her? Nika strained her brain trying to come up with something and then it hit her. "My sister." She knew they are starting to get farther apart and Nika knew why. If only her sister were magical. Nika knew what this meant. Maybe she should cancel the trip with her friends. Besides her sister is important.
Nika moved forward from that thinking point and went on to take a closer look at the number 7. Nika shook her head fast because she agreed with every word. Nika isn't a very wise person. Not only is she struggling in classes, but the whole concept of "wisdom" isn't getting through to her. "Okay I have to be more wise and mystical?"
And then she moved on to the last one. She read authority and looked back a little angered. "Well I only just turned 12 what kind of authority can I even have!?!" Nika moved on to the next word, finances. "Again only 12!" Geez. Then she read business and had the same reactions. When she got to success she drew the line. "So I'm not successful!?! I'm just a bum? No this is not right! I am not a bum! I refuse to be!" Nika crossed her arms across her chest and kept reading the only one on number 8 that she could agree with was organization. She is lacking organization big time.

Alright, time to do some calculating. Sort of.
Flipping through the pages until she found the right spot, Vashti looked from the page to her parchment as she wrote down her name and made sure to assign the right number to each letter. It took about a minute or so, including thte double checking she did, but soon she had it all down.

All the students seemed to have gotten started right away to find out if they had any missing numbers except for one. Of course Fina still hadn't gone over what these meant if you did have a number missing from your name. Other than the fact that they knew it was a karmic lesson...

Bleh. Their full name from their birth certificate? Pfft. Aw well, she was getting over the whole 'hating the real last name' so, for now, it was no big deal. Staring at the example of the professor's name on the board, Evelyn blinked and then...stared. Stared with an unblinking gaze. And yes...she did just zone out.
"Uh ..." Professor Hadley looked at the girl, who honestly had looked way better. Perhaps this year was just stressful for her, between losing quidditch and then stressing herself out over OWLs only to find them canceled. "Evelyn dear? Don't you want to do your calculations?" Surely the girl didn't already do it before class, right?

Yup. 2s? Yup. 3s?... Oh no! No sixes! Ariana wrote down the number six underneath her name and numbers. 7s? Yup. 8s... So just six, then.
According to the textbook, six normally meant "Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues". Ariana wondered what that meant her Karmic Lesson was.

Pulling out some parchment, Kurumi got back into the routine of writing her name and associating numbers. She really out to memorize them to make these calculations easier.
Okay, so now she needed to check and make sure that all numbers were paired off? Was that how it worked? Kurumi looked at her notes again and realized that that was not what she was supposed to do. Now it was a game of what number is missing...
Well, right off the bat Kurumi saw that she was missing a 1.
She checked out all the other numbers, and they checked out. So, now she was supposed to look at what the number one represented...Kurumi flipped through her book and re-read the description.
"One represents beginning, independence, innovation, leadership..." she read catching herself on her words. "Professor, what does it mean we have to do now that we know what karmic lesson we haven't learned?" Did this mean she needed to stop running away and take on a leadership role?
"Yes the energies associated with that number missing from your birth name are ones that you haven't yet been confronted with," Professor Hadley explained to the two girls. "You might feel at a loss from some of these vibrations associated with the number until you ultimately master that number's energy."

The textbook for 7 and 8 had some meanings, but was that what she was meant to look at? She would stick to just finding the numbers for now.
"Professor you know my weird liney hyphen thingy. Is it called a hyphen? Anyways, does that do anything to the Karmic Lessons?" K-Lee asked, pointing at the liney hyphen thingy.
"Not at all. The hyphen is not a letter, so it has no vibrations or energies associated with it." Fina explained.

Right... so... numbers... it appeared that Emily was missing digit 8.
Frowning she flipped through her text book again.
What karmic lesson was she missing!?!?
What in the blazes did that mean?!... was she not successful enough for Karma?!... rude.
"Professor?... is this right?.. is this the lesson I'm missing?" she asked looking for conformation that she had done it right.
How was it that will ALL the letters in her LONG name she didn't have a single H, Q or Z... silly.
"Yes that would be correct, but remember Miss Browne, that just because a number is missing from your name does not mean you haven't mastered those vibrations. Perhaps you've just yet to be confronted with it." Fina explained to the older Ravenclaw who seemed panicky. "Even if a number is missing from your birth name, you can still master its vibrations and energies associated with it."

When they were instructed to find their Karma numbers , Hyun grabbed his quill and paper and started writing.
He placed his quill down next to his parchment and looked at the numbers. He looked at them a few times before coming with the conlusion that he had no Karma..something..numbers. Did that mean he was *complete* ? O_o

But there was also a good thing to help Patroclus, and that was the Professors examples, as she completed the example on the board, all he had to do, was repace his name with hers and go from there......simple right?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.....all there, yep once again the world of Arithmancy was declaring that he, Patroclus Julius Hudson, was perfect!
"No karmic lessons?" Hadley stared incredulously at the two boys. One was, of course, Prefect Hudson. "Simply means that all the energies associated with each number have already been learned or experienced in your past, so there is no need for them to be confronted with them in the future or present."

But now she KNEW people. And people had annoying, wandering eyes. And she just refused to let anyone know her middle name. Refused.
She didn't even like using her first name. It was livable, though, unlike...the middle name. Yeah.
So...what now? She was looking for missing numbers one through 9, was it?
That'd be...four, seven, and eight. Yeah?
Ellie glanced at the textbook to see if she had used her middle name, what would happen....and she'd have only had one missing number. Oh well. Unimportant.
Three missing numbers? Professor Hadley glanced at the girl's parchment and raised an eyebrow. "Miss Ellie? Are you trying to tell me that you have no middle name?" She guessed it was possible, but somehow, she didn't suspect it to be true. "Because you should know that if you have a middle name, then it should be included in all the calculations that require your birth name for the most accurate result."

Hmmm. The only number that he didn't have was a two. Finlay glanced at the textbook to have a quick mooch at what the number two actually meant.
Oh...so that was what he was missing??? Maybe that was why he wasn't too good at relationships...opps. He figured that the interpretation kind of suited him, a little bit maybe.
"Just remember Prefect Carmicheal, that even though a number is missing from your birth name, you could still master that numbers energies." Fina explained again, feeling a bit like a broken record. "You might find yourself being confronted with the themes associated with that number until you master its energies."

Yeah, they were because anything the Master of Everything happened to produce would be a MASTERpiece.
Hehehehee...
Yet once they started the practical part of the class, if you called it practical of course, which he always preferred to participate rather than the theoretical part as he did in every class, the boy stopped working on his scraped masterpiece and looked up to pay attention, finally, to the class. Well...examining the example on the board, this looked rather easy to find out...this lesson thing. So, grabbing the quill back the lion boy started to work on his own name.
No 'sevens'? What did that mean? Well...he actually was not bothered by that fact because he already did not like the number 'seven' but it did not stop his curiosity. He wanted to know what it meant! Like NOW!
''Professor! There isn't a 7 in mine. Yeah 7. What does that mean?''
Tell me now! Tell me now!
7
Ha?
...
"If you look at chapters three and four in your text, then you will see key words associated with the number seven." Fina said, as she hadn't failed to notice the scratching of the quill against the wood desks. "And twenty-seven points from Gryffindor for vandalising school property, Mr Carter." um... what was she talking about again?

In scratchy letters she wrote, then put the numbers underneath.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Oh, no 6! 7, 8, 9. Man. So close!
She looked in the text book and laughed.
That was what she was missing? Ha! That was totally true. Except mabye the responsibility bit. She felt like she'd got a lot of that at home.
But the family focus bit She'd agree she was missing that!

Idiotic numbers. Idiotic textbook.
Walking away from Josh Carter, Josephina took route near two young witches instead, as they both seemed to find missing numbers in their names. "Just so you both know, the missing numbers in your name doesn't have to be bad, but just means the vibrations associated with that number or numbers are ones you have not yet been confronted with." Mostly you, Sierra. Please don't throw the textbook or anything . . .

Fina eyed the next captain's parchment. "Don't worry, if you keep finding yourself confronted with those vibrations associated with the missing number, then you will eventually master the number, even it's still missing." Cause you know, it will show up in other aspects of your life and stuff.

Hearing a youngish girl speaking out loud, to herself, Fina frowned. "You're taking this too seriously and well, a bit wrongly. It's not saying that you're not successful, but merely that the missing numbers in your life represent vibrations that you have not yet been confronted with or addressed in your past, so you must deal with them in the present and future."

Another serious one, judging from her facial expressions. "That number missing from your birth name? Is just merely representing the vibrations and energies in your life that you have not yet been confronted with. It's not bad, but just ... for whatever reason, you haven't experienced them yet. But you will. Ultimately the experience of this missing number will keep reappearing in your life until you've mastered its energies."
...
And now that they've had plenty of time to work on that aspect of things. "As I've mentioned to most of you in my passing, karmic lessons are NOT bad things. If you have a missing number in your birth name, then it just means that the energies associated with that number are ones that you have not yet had need to address or confront yet. However, you will experience those energies in your life until you master those missing energies."
Hmm. "The experiences in your life that offer karmic lessons you might be on the giving or receiving end. Karmic lessons are mastered though when we can truly appreciate how it was created. What is the cause behind the effect? Knowing the after result is one thing, but how can you learn from just a result? You have to know what caused that effect." Yea, she was talking way too much today.
Right. SO moving on. "Karmic lessons require only that one simple calculation, but for karmic debts you have to know the calculations of SIX numbers. We'll go through them again for your reference." Hadley paused, "the numbers we're looking for are in the number directly before you reduce it to a single digit, which are 10, 13, 14, 16, or 19. The number ten though has a different kind of karma from the others. Can anyone tell me this is different about it?"

Well, Treyen finally took a seat once the class started, the desk was obviously not as comfortable as any chair, so, yeah.
But then she started to talk about Karmic Lessons, and he was lost again. Though, Arithmancy wasn't as hard as it had been on his first year, he still failed to keep his focus on the lesson. He rarely did. At least he'd managed to get his calculations right, no?
Aha!
His full name? Sigh. But it was soooo long!
Unfair.
Either way, the young Hufflepuff took his parchment and started to write in it. He had very few choices, truth be told. Either do as Hadley says, or don't do at all.

Kurumi's hand shot up. "Professor, doesn't 10 create positive karma as opposed to the others that are negative forms of karma?" She put her hand down for a moment to think some more. "I've read that the number 10 is considered the most perfect of numbers because it then includes the beginning and the end, the power and the force, the life and the nothing as is represented by the numbers 1 and 0."

Karmic Debts? Was that like the Karma owed money to the Arithmancy Authority, but they couldn't pay for it because they're SUCH A PAIN!
Jacob gave a huge frown when he started reading what each one meant. he didn't even bother putting his hand up. "Professor, none of this makes sense. They mean nothing to what we really are." mostly because Jacob is a Ravenclaw and no amount of Arithimancy was going to refute that!
Yup, Jacob was most Definetly gonna drop this next term. There was no way he was going to sit here while the professor told him lies about himself!
"And Anyways, How do you Rework Responsibility through love?" Just made mo sense What so ever.
Kurumi's hand shot up. "Professor, doesn't 10 create positive karma as opposed to the others that are negative forms of karma?" She put her hand down for a moment to think some more.

He...didn't precisely comprehend the question Hadley had asked. And he only decided that, like his Quidditch skills, his Arithmancy skills had gone away from him.
Perfect. Sigh.
But then Kurumi sort of answered Hadley and he...staaaared at Kurumi. Blink. He'll be sticking to her in Arithmancy for sure. Smart Gryffindor, she deserved a smile. And so, he smiled at her.

But then Kurumi sort of answered Hadley and he...staaaared at Kurumi. Blink. He'll be sticking to her in Arithmancy for sure. Smart Gryffindor, she deserved a smile. And so, he smiled at her.
Kurumi flipped through her book a bit more to try and understand the whole missing number 1 in her name when something VERY bright and VERY sparkly attacked her from the right.
Had someone opened a window and let the sun in?
Blinking a few times, Kurumi was able to make out the windowless wall. Where was the shine coming from? Turning her gaze down a bit, she saw Treyen smiling at her. Oh, well, that would explain the glare.
Kurumi's cheeks flushed red and she snapped her head back to her book where she continued to read about the karmic lesson associated with the number 1.
It was the loneliest number after all.

Three missing numbers? Professor Hadley glanced at the girl's parchment and raised an eyebrow. "Miss Ellie? Are you trying to tell me that you have no middle name?" She guessed it was possible, but somehow, she didn't suspect it to be true. "Because you should know that if you have a middle name, then it should be included in all the calculations that require your birth name for the most accurate result."
...
And now that they've had plenty of time to work on that aspect of things. "As I've mentioned to most of you in my passing, karmic lessons are NOT bad things. If you have a missing number in your birth name, then it just means that the energies associated with that number are ones that you have not yet had need to address or confront yet. However, you will experience those energies in your life until you master those missing energies."
Hmm. "The experiences in your life that offer karmic lessons you might be on the giving or receiving end. Karmic lessons are mastered though when we can truly appreciate how it was created. What is the cause behind the effect? Knowing the after result is one thing, but how can you learn from just a result? You have to know what caused that effect." Yea, she was talking way too much today.
Right. SO moving on. "Karmic lessons require only that one simple calculation, but for karmic debts you have to know the calculations of SIX numbers. We'll go through them again for your reference." Hadley paused, "the numbers we're looking for are in the number directly before you reduce it to a single digit, which are 10, 13, 14, 16, or 19. The number ten though has a different kind of karma from the others. Can anyone tell me this is different about it?"
Ellie raised only her eyes to look at Hadley. "...Maybe..." Who's to say she did? Huh? HUH?
She shrugged. "That's okay." Uhm..."Accuracy is overrated." Or not. Still, she wasn't getting Ellie's middle name. Nope.
Wait...but...it made sense that they might not have experienced it yet, but how would they know? Isn't the name on your birth certificate still going to be the same even AFTER you have? So, eventually, your karma whatsit would be wrong, yeah?
Oh well. Ellie didn't really care enough.
....And none of what Hadley was saying made sense anyway.
"It has a zero." How karma was involved, she hadn't a clue.

"Oh." Nika's frown turned into a smile and she started to laugh at herself. "I knew that... well sort of.... okay not really." Nika became her normally overly smiley self and took some more notes on the topic. "Thank you professor for clearing that up." She made sure to add a note about how the missing numbers are things that you haven't dealt with yet and you will soon have to deal with.

Aha!
His full name? Sigh. But it was soooo long!
Unfair.
Either way, the young Hufflepuff took his parchment and started to write in it. He had very few choices, truth be told. Either do as Hadley says, or don't do at all.
Okay. He had 1,2,3...er, no 4s...5,6,7,8,9.
The 4 was missing. His eyes turned to the textbook to search what it could possibly mean...and...the textbook read...
Ha. He was FROWNING, okay, he had no idea what this meant. He especially frowned at the 'hard work' part, since he was...a Hufflepuff!
Another frowning student? Seriously, why did they have to take their missing numbers so seriously? "Oh Treyen... just because you're missing the number four in your birth name doesn't take away who you are. Remember that with karmic lessons, its about experiences you've been through and will address, but not about who you are." Difference there!

"I've read that the number 10 is considered the most perfect of numbers because it then includes the beginning and the end, the power and the force, the life and the nothing as is represented by the numbers 1 and 0."
"Precisely! The number ten is good or positive karma. It is often symbolic of the beginning, or rebirth, like you've mentioned for us!" Fina said, smiling at the girl. At least someone seemed to understand this. Evelyn? You have competition . . .

Jacob gave a huge frown when he started reading what each one meant. he didn't even bother putting his hand up. "Professor, none of this makes sense. They mean nothing to what we really are." mostly because Jacob is a Ravenclaw and no amount of Arithimancy was going to refute that!
Yup, Jacob was most Definetly gonna drop this next term. There was no way he was going to sit here while the professor told him lies about himself!
"And Anyways, How do you Rework Responsibility through love?" Just made mo sense What so ever.
Josephina shook her head at the boy who still didn't seem to understand this. "As I mentioned to your classmate, Mister Lockhart, these are about experiences you are confronted with, not you as a person. There's a distinct line between the two. But if you still are having confusion, then I'd love for you to consult with me privately about it." Because you know, she could then spend more time trying to explain to Jacob Blunt that he was still a Ravenclaw. And that Arithmancy wasn't silly.
But for now, they had to move on. Excuse you Treyen and your charming smile.
"So basically you're going to determine if you have any karmic debts which may show up as your birthday number, maturity number, or one of your core numbers. Spend the next thirty minutes calculating these numbers by yourselves or with a partner, if you desire. And please raise your hand if you get stuck or confused on a calculation."

Oh, wait, say what?
It wasn't about HIM, but about HIS experiences.
Well, THAT changes EVERYTHING! Thanks for not mentioning that sooner. And why did it change everything? Because the same 'hard working' stuff had been popping up during Divination...many times.
So, yeah, it was cool. He smiled.
And they were going to do...er...what now?
Treyen only heard the word 'partner' and 'calculations', and it didn't take long for him to gather his quill and parchment and move over to share a desk with Kurumi. "Partner?" Aha! Another smile.
But, seriously, Kurumi had no other choice.
"What am I supposed to do?" he WHISPERED to the Gryffindor girl, so Hadley wouldn't hear.

Treyen only heard the word 'partner' and 'calculations', and it didn't take long for him to gather his quill and parchment and move over to share a desk with Kurumi. "Partner?" Aha! Another smile.
But, seriously, Kurumi had no other choice.
"What am I supposed to do?" he WHISPERED to the Gryffindor girl, so Hadley wouldn't hear.
Kurumi squeaked when she felt the air particles divide and something came swishing out of no where to take up a seat next to her. There was something bright and white that blinded her temporarily, but it was enough of a hint to Kurumi as to who had decided to sit next to her.
Partners? Only if he had a pair of sunglasses for her to use.
"S-S-S-Sure," she said turning her face away to try and hide her blushing cheeks. "Well...first you need to write the proper numbers that go with the letters in your name...but we already did that."
Phew, explaining things always made her calm down and decrease the chance of her hair changing colors.
She took her parchment and checked over to make sure the numbers all matched up.
SPOILER!!: parchyment!

2 3 9 3 4 9 8 6 3 3 9 5 7 2 5 9 9 7
"So, now we need to calculate Life Path Number," she explained picking up her quill. "So, my birthday is May 12..."
She leaned forward and began writing on her parchment.
SPOILER!!: parchyment!

Life Path Number
(5)+(1+2)+(2+0+6+1) = (5) + (3) + (9) = 17 = (1+7) = 8
"So, my Life Path Number is 8. Since none of the karmic numbers appeared in the final calculation before I got 8, I believe this means I do not have any karmic debt. The numbers you need to look out for are 10, 13, 14, 16, or 19." Well, that was a relief at least. She turned her gaze to Treyen. "Does that make sense? How about you give it a try?"

Jacob just shruged all his thoughts off... he'd talk to Hadley later about Arithmancy's Relavence to any Aspect of Jacob's life.
But For now, he was going to do this.
Jacob Picked up the quill and started writting as fast as he could, as if this were being timed

OWWW! "Cramp!" Jacob dropped the quill, and started massaging his hand. Stupid quill, Making Jacobs hand cramp.
Jacob check over his calculations four time... hopefully he didn't miss any. Then he stared at his darkened parts of his paper. The Karmic Debt. "Professor." He called to the woman. "In my Heart's Desire Number, It says that 19 is a Karmic Debt, but It simplifies to 10, which is Good Karma. So Which Is It?"
Jacob didn't like this... not one bit!
It made him think... and thinking's bad for Jacob. It usually made things go Boom!

Yes, Kurumi had no choice, but at least she'd said 'Yes'. Right?
Wait, they did! They already did that part! Or...HE did. But that was pretty great, one part of the whole was done.
No, he didn't smile anymore, this was focusing time, because he was actually paying attention to what Kurumi was saying. Jealous, Hadley? It was kind of weird that he was understanding it all from the Gryffindor than from the Hufflepuff. Because Hadley had been a Hufflepuff. Like Nolan.
"I see." And if he messed up, then he'll have Kurumi to help him out, no? This whole 'partner' thing was brilliant! "You don't have a middle name?" It kind of made him wonder if Ellie had one. Kind of.
So, Kurumi's birthday was May 12, "I was born on April 10." She could have a cupcake ready for that day next year.
Life Path Number
(0+4)+(1+0)+(2+0+5+9)
4+1+(1+6) = 4+1+7
12 = (1+2) = 3!
And he did the sum in his mind again, it seemed good to him. And he smiled, "Oh, so, I have no Karmic...things...in here either." And he'd been so close to the number 13. Haha.

"The concept of a middle name is a very Western one," she explained checking over his calculations. "Middle names, at least from my understanding, come from the desire to uphold tradition or to show honor for an ancestor. Some are even from religious purposes." She handed Treyen back his parchment. "We like to keep names simple, retain honor to our family just from keeping our family name, or, what you call a last name."
She wasn't sure that what she said made any sense. She wasn't really sure it made any sense to her. She was a little jealous of people who had middle names. Maybe she could make one up for herself?
"What is the purpose of a middle name?" she asked as she tickled her nose a little with her quill before returning her mind to the task at hand. So, she had calculated her Life Path Number, so what was she supposed to do next?
Oh, right, she had a lot of other calculations to attend to!

Assuming her calculations were correct, Kurumi had two area that required karmic debt: her Personality Number and her Destiny Number. Somehow, that really did not seem like a good thing.
So, her personality number was a 5 and it was combined with the karmic number 14...what was that supposed to mean? She turned to her textbook for a moment and a frown continued to grow as she read each word on the page. Abused freedom...irresponsibility and lack of accountability in the past...refuses to acknowledge limits to her desire for adventure, risk, and escape...no sense of accomplishment or goal in mind...
Well...that certainly was a depressing thought...
Could she go back to the common room now? Before she started crying.

Emily was beginning to get a head ache... numbers was not her forte. She preferred wand waving, or interpretation, or hand on stuff... but numbers. By golly numbers did her head in. Still it was apretty exciting lesson, and she was eager to find out what her life path number was... and her maturity number... etc
Still she felt a little uneasy in the stomach... and the head. She hoped her karmic debt wouldn't be too great.. it just seemed like a horrible thing. Karmic...... DEBT... debt as in oweing.. ugh.
These numbers liked insulting her. Still she figured it was best to get started.
Raising her hand she asked Professor Hadley a question. "Professor... what does it mean when my karmic debt numbers appear in my Life path number and my Destiny number?"
She hoped it didn't mean she was doomed to fail.... except she would be failing at failing... confusing.??
Emily sat there and looked at the cauclations.
...
...
What?
She scratched her head in confusion, and watched others at work. This had started well... now, she was confused.

Wait. Was that a 10, or did she have to add 1 and 0? She drew a question mark next to it, then raised her hand. "Um, professor? I think I'm stuck." Yeah she was. She showed the teacher what she had done. "It's only half done... I think..." She felt really stupid.

Karmic Debts. Now that seemed a little more complicated, and Finlay really didn't do complicated. He was definetly going to give it a try thought, because maybe he'd like find that it wasn't so complicated. Or so at least he hoped so anyway. Pulling another piece of parchment out and began to work out the calculations....he had a feeling that this may take a while.

Okay....so now he'd figured out the calculations. He just kinda needs to work out what they meant now?

Marie really needed to stop zoning out in classes. Maybe if she paid better attention she would know what was going on then she might actually be on the leader board for her house again. Luckily arithmancy was a pretty easy class for her so she should have no problem getting caught back up with everyone else. Grabbing her quill she wrote out her full name along the top of her parchment. Now to figure if she had any karmic lessons she needed to learn.
Once she had all the numbers written down she looked to see if she was missing any. Hopefully she would have all of them... no such luck though. Not only was she missing one number but she was missing three numbers. Well this sucked. Now she had to look through her book and figure out what lessons she was missing.
Once she found the meanings of the numbers she was missing she frowned. Well this sucked even more. Now she knew why all of her relationships seemed to never work out. Well she wasn't going to let these stupid numbers ruin the one she was in now. No way. This one WOULD work out no matter what the numbers say.

Simon nodded at the professor's words directed towards him, knowing he shouldn't take it as a bad thing or too much at face value. As they moved on to the next task, he was fine working on his own since he was pretty good at the calculations, so he went about figuring the numbers he needed to deal with.

Using the full name listed on your birth certificate, lay out your name and assign the appropriate number to each letter using the chart given in Chapter Two of this text. Figure each name separately, then add the reduced total of each name - first, middle(s), and last, then reduce that number to its single digit root number.

Looking back at his work for the first three calculations he was glad to see that he didn't have any real karmic debts. At least the way he was looking at things since the second-to-last numbers of the three were not the ones listed as to carry them.
"The concept of a middle name is a very Western one," she explained checking over his calculations. "Middle names, at least from my understanding, come from the desire to uphold tradition or to show honor for an ancestor. Some are even from religious purposes." She handed Treyen back his parchment. "We like to keep names simple, retain honor to our family just from keeping our family name, or, what you call a last name."
She wasn't sure that what she said made any sense. She wasn't really sure it made any sense to her. She was a little jealous of people who had middle names. Maybe she could make one up for herself?
"What is the purpose of a middle name?" she asked as she tickled her nose a little with her quill before returning her mind to the task at hand. So, she had calculated her Life Path Number, so what was she supposed to do next?
Oh, right, she had a lot of other calculations to attend to!

Assuming her calculations were correct, Kurumi had two area that required karmic debt: her Personality Number and her Destiny Number. Somehow, that really did not seem like a good thing.
So, her personality number was a 5 and it was combined with the karmic number 14...what was that supposed to mean? She turned to her textbook for a moment and a frown continued to grow as she read each word on the page. Abused freedom...irresponsibility and lack of accountability in the past...refuses to acknowledge limits to her desire for adventure, risk, and escape...no sense of accomplishment or goal in mind...
Well...that certainly was a depressing thought...
Could she go back to the common room now? Before she started crying.
His left arm was completely on the desk, after all, he used his right hand for writing and the other one to make sure the parchment stayed in place, but as Kurumi started to answer his questions the job for the left hand was momentarily changed to take all the weight of his head since he was resting it on the hand. He was marveled by her explanation, since, for a second year, she seemed to know so much more.
The boy nodded, as much as possible, he didn't even notice that he had his parchment back until Kurumi started to write on her own.
Very smart second year at work. It was worth to watch her do so, certainly. And, well, mostly because he didn't know how to do this, haha. But, wait, she'd asked a question, though, it may be a rhetorical one...still, he answered, "If I may be honest...," which he always was, "...I don't know, I suppose you may be right about that one." Like, with the explanation she'd given and all. "I know my grandparents used my whole name before they grounded me, so, maybe that's the use for it." There was a slight shrug, being grounded seemed to have little effect on him, but it soothed Kaika very much.
But Kurumi managed to raise a question on his mind. He had no idea where his second name came from. Nor Kaika's. It seems this summer will bring lots of questioning on behalf of the Lockhart boy. Though, he knew one Sebastien...

And...since this was the first time he'd done those calculations he COMPLETELY DISAGREED on the textbook description for the Personality Number. It just wasn't him. AND...he owed something in there as well. "Yeah, Professor Hadley!" he called, a bit loudly, by the way, "I...is my calculation right?" he was trying to ask whether HIS number was right, or if the textbook was wrong all along.
Plus, the karmic stuff said that said 14 number had something to do with, and we quote, "Remedying karmic abuse of responsibility and love through spiritual rebirth". Blink. What was THAT supposed to mean?
ACTUALLY, what had the 10 description had to do with good karma, anyway? "Renewal rebirth, karmic completion, mastery, beginning again with consciousness". He was lost in there as well.
His Arithmancy skills had flew out the window. If he ever had any, that is.
Of course, he grinned at those two Good Karma stuff, and then noticed a change in Kurumi's mood. The boy couldn't help but glance at her parchment. Well, Treyen took the liberty of taking Kurumi's textbook and closed it. "Who cares what the book says, right? You're awesome at being Kurumi." Wink.
