No sooner had she tagged someone than someone tagged her as well. And it was none other than Minerva once again! "You're fast," Vashti said with a laugh. Now to find a day that would make her a seven...

"October 11th," she said.

5 + 11
5 + (1+1)
5 + 2
7

Alright, so now she was a seven, and she needed to find someone to tag...

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...r/ab074938.jpg

August had taken a short break of standing on the safe desk spot to catch his breath but he was ready to go out there and tag some other people. He had been lurking around the edge when he saw the Head Girl standing there out in the open.

"Tag!" He said poking her in the arm and taking off in the other direction.
http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...h/e6b38533.jpg

Keefer saw August take off running toward him. He gave chase. August probably didn't even see him coming, he couldn't really tell. Either way, he got close enough and finally was able to get in a tag. "Welcome to Team Seven!"

Still a number seven, Sierra glanced around the room, trying desperately to find someone who had a different number. ...was everyone now a seven?! Sierra looked up toward Hadley, but she was all the way across the room from where Sierra was.

Maybe someone with a different number would come along soon, so she could get herself back in the game.

OOC: Hey, guys! I just wanted to politely point out that if we turn everyone into a seven, there'll soon be no one to tag, because we'll all be the same number. :xd:

As August was escaping from his tagging of Vashti, he was tapped on the shoulder by a Puff, Keefer the Quidditch Captain. "Darnnit!"

The gryffindor stopped where he was to think of the day that would make his personal day number a seven.

(1+5) + 1 = 7

"October 15th makes me a seven!" August was now part of the growing number of students making up the seven group. He was now at a loss to find anyone that wasn't one. So he just stood there waiting to be tagged by a non-seven.

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...r/aae872d4.jpg



Rolling her eyes with a small smile at the bunch of sevens roaming around her, Louisa clasped two hands on two different girls who were.. passing by? Or were they coming to get her? Meh. Either way. "Tag and Tag! You're eight now, my dears." Heh. Fancy.

Ella had been resting quietly, trying not to call attention to herself when she spotted a girl who had tagged several classmates and was smiling. She creeped up behind the girl and "Boo!" She laughed. "You're a four now!" Ninja style.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Sophie walked once more towards the middle of the room. Nope, she was not tagging anyone for now. Not while she was a seven...

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

Ella spotter her friend Sophie and smiled. She ran over and hugged her friend while saying, "Tagggg Sophie! You're a 4 now!" She smiled momentarily then ran off into the crowd of students. This was quite fun.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Sierra just kind of hung out toward the middle, making herself wide open for someone to tag. In order to get back in the game, she needed to be found by someone who wasn't a seven. So she wasn't worried about hiding away in one of the safe zones. She wanted to be tagged!

FINALLY!

Sierra smiled, actually smiled, toward the Ravenclaw girl who'd tagged her. Excellent. She was back to being an eight now, but at least able to play the game again.

"October 8," she thought to herself.

9 + 8 = 17
1 + 7 = 8

Now to find someone to tag...

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

Minerva went over to Ella just as she tagged Sophie and went to run away. "Oh no you don't. Tag hun. Welcome to group seven." Then she ran off again laughing.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

A four! Cool! Sophie started calculating in her head.



Sophie looked around searching who to tag. Trying to spot a number seven...

Oh look! Sophie ran towards the older Hufflepuff and touched his arm. "Taaag, captaaaain!" she said looking up at him. Now she was the first, right? "Team four now!"

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Ella smiled at Minnie. "That was a good one, Minnie!" She headed over to the safety desks where she could figure out a new way to get 7. Tapping the desk lightly, Ella worked out the calculations.

Alright so (8)+(26) is (8)+(2+6) is (8)+(8) which is 16 which is 1+6 which equals 7! "October 26th it is!" She walked back to the center of the room again, knowing that there was a large number of sevens and she should wait to be tagged. Come and get me!

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...1234/seven.jpg

Sierra hurried around the room, steadily on the lookout for someone to tag. She passed by a few people she could easily just reach out and tag, but they were all eight's--just like her. She frowned. Was everyone an eight now?!

No. No, they weren't. She could hear a few shouts around the room of people turning other people into four's and a random variety of other numbers. Finally, someone stepped out right to the side of her, and it was all to easy to just reach out and tag them.

So she did. She tapped the girl right on the shoulder. "Team eight!" she said.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

Alyssa quietly snuck up behind Anna and said,"Hi" before tagging her "Tag you are now a four"

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/473c00ed.jpg

Before going back into the middle of the class to tag more victims.

Standing kinda off to the side, Lily hadn't expected to be tagged. However, she someone tap her shoulder, and turned to see who it was. Smiling, Lily noticed that it was Louisa. "Hey, Louisa." but that was all she could say before Louisa was off looking for others to tag. so Lily thought of a date. "9+17=8, so I would need October 17th. Now I'm and eight."

Minerva laughed as she found another person to tag. "Hello there. Tag you are now a seven." then she went to find a new person to tag.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

Oh, good!

Now Sierra was actually a number other than an eight or a seven. Again, she smiled at the one who'd tagged her. She need the participation, and well...if no one tagged her, she didn't get to participate.

Not that this was fun for her, but...well, she did need the class credit.

"October 4," she said, mentally calculating.

9 + 4 = 13
1 + 3 = 4

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

"...and now you're a four," Sierra said, grinning. She tapped the girl lightly on the shoulder before moving on.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

Louisa had a heart attack. No, like a REAL heart attack from the boo. Why were they so happy with this number games. "Geez. Okay," chuckling, she put a hand on her chest, dramatically, trying to calm her heart beats.

Louisa thought a little before announcing, "October 5."

8 +5 = 13
1 + 3 = 4

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Hmm.. who to tag?

Ella nodded at the girl, smiling. "Well okay then!" She thought quickly how she could get the number 8. Okay so 8+9 was 17 and 1+7 is 8. Aa-ha! She looked around saying, "October 9th." She wasn't talking to anyone in particular, she was just excited about how quickly she was coming up with numbers now that she had some practice under her belt. She walked off to find someone to tag. Who looks like they want to join team 8...
http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...1234/eight.jpg

Minerva skipped to the girl she saw and put her hand on her shoulder. "Tag you are now part of team seven." she smiled at her. She was getting tired so she decided to walk instead of skip or run.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

Again, Lily was just standing there when she was tagged making her a seven. "9+7=16=7, so October 7th." Looking around, Lily noticed than many people were sevens. However, she was tagged again, by a different person.

"So since I'm a four now... 9+13=22=4, so October 13th will make me a four." Lily said calculating outloud.

Alyssa continued to stand in the middle of the floor waiting to tag someone or have someone tag her. She was getting frustrated. Was she invisible or something?

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/473c00ed.jpg

Minerva saw Alyssa standing alone and went over to her putting her hand on her shoulder. "Umm you giving up?" she laughed "Your now a seven" with that Minerva turned to head a different way. She was on fire tagging people for seven.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

Sierra crept up behind the same Hufflepuff she'd tagged before. She reached out to tag her, but the girl had moved away before she could actually get to her. Sierra frowned and hurried after the girl. She needed someone to tag, and now everyone by her seemed to be a number four.

She reached out...further...further... "Tag!" she said, tapping the girl on the shoulder. "Number four!"

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

He was supposed to be patient, today, wasn't he?

That didn't stop him from taking his hand off one of the desks and moving on to the one girl that was pretty much turning the whole class into one number. Granted, if it was going to be any other number, it might as well be HIS. :P

"Tag! You're a number two, now." He said, after poking her left shoulder with his hand.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...hmancy/two.jpg

Ella turned and saw the girl who had tagged her only a short time ago. She smiled at her. "Again! You must have it out for me!" Laughing she began to work out the math in her head. (8)+(23)= (8)+(2+3)=(8)+(5)=13=1+3=4...Okay, October 23rd! She found a nice spot within a couple of steps of the safety zone, just incase.
http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

"Yep was just about tired of not being ignored and not getting tagged even though I'm out here in the open. Thanks for tagging me though. So now I'm a seven.

My Personal Month day is 7 so I will need a calendar day of 27th
2+7=9
9+7= 16
1+ 6=7

And Alyssa made her way to the 7 safe desk.

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/fbf3d919.jpg

rambling to avoid a one line post :O
 

....oh! Back to seven, Louisa returned the girl's smile politely. "October 3!" Hehe, the easiest again.

Louisa moved slightly to the side, not really touching the neutral zone since she still enjoyed this... fine game. In fact, Louisa appreciated all educational games, they were fun and useful. They made the students a bit more witty than they were.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

Ella noticed another girl skirting close to the safety zone. She smiled mischievously and skipped up to the girl. "Hi there! You're a four now! Enjoy!" She then took a couple of steps into safety.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Minerva went to the safe zone. She was stumped on finding a calculation for 2. This was going to be harder. She thought in her head, but couldn't come up with any. So she decided to stay in the safe zone thinking for a bit.
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...lan807/two.jpg

Vashti glanced shiftily around the room, searching for someone to tag...but suddenly she felt something poke her arm and someone called "Tag!" Oh Merlin! She turned just in time to see the Gryffindor boy running away. Sneaky! But...what number was she now? She was about to call out to him and ask...

...but she didn't get to because she was immediately tagged by Louisa. Now she was an eight again? Well okay.

"October 12th," she said.

5 + 12
5 + (1+2)
5 + 3
8

Yep, that equaled eight. Now to find someone to tag again...

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...r/aae872d4.jpg

Louisa was walking toward that safe zone or whatever when someone familiar tagged her with four... again. "Why, thank you." She grinned at the girl before furrowing her eyebrows and doing the math. "October 6."

7 + 6 = 13
1 + 3 = 4

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Spotting someone tagging happily with a unique number among all the sevens and eights, Louisa crept up behind the Head Boy and CLASP! her hand on his shoulder, "Tag! You are number four, big buddy," smirking up at him. Hehe, hiii Treyen.

"Tag!" Zhenya said, Tagging Minerva

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/e6b38533.jpg

The hand. That's when he knew that HIS number didn't last long.

Why, it was Louisa!

"Thanks," Wink. Now he had to find the day for this number, didn't he? It should work if he added two days to today, right? The Head Boy went over the calculations in his head.



"October 19th." He said, mostly to himself...but he kept his eyes open for the next victim, yes?

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

Zhenya, wearing her purple 8, was in the middle. Her mind had been able to practise the formulas and number manipulations so she was keen to try all the numbers out!

Amelia saw a girl standing in the middle and went up to her, tapping her on the shoulder. "Tag! You're a number 3 now." And she ran off.

As Minerva was at the safe zone figure it out she got very excited. If I take the 17th 1+7=8 and then I take my number which is 3 8+3=11 and 1+1 is 2. She jumped up and down happy to have figured it out. My day is the 17th she turned to leave the safe zone and was tagged again. "Really?" she giggled ok... so now eight. Hmmm ok if I take 23 2+3 is 5 and 5+3 is 8. My new day is the 23rd.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/eight.jpg

Zhenya was startled as she was tapped on the shoulder. But she was glad - more things to solve! A number three, hey? Well... if her month number was a 2, and she needed a 3 - well that was easy! "October first," she said, and donned the Number Three

Minerva saw the girl who tagged her get tagged she went over. "Well so your not an eight anymore." she tapped her shoulder "Tag your an eight again." she smiled and went to find someone else.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/eight.jpg

Aha! Amelia! Treyen was actually fond of the number three...which is why this hurt just a little bit. Not really.

Tsk, tsk. "Tag! You're a four." He said, as his hand touched her right shoulder. And yet he was still a number four, of course...unless someone wanted to changed that.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

Minnie skipped to the head boy. "Now it's my turn... Tag your an 8" she smiled and skipped away.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/eight.jpg

Oh.

Amelia had just been debating stepping into the free zone when she was tagged by Treyen.

She did a bit of a calculation in her head now:

9 + 13 => (0 + 9) + (1 + 3)
= (9) + (4)
= 13 => (1 + 3)
= 4

"October 13th!" She happily took a number 4 tag now.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2uqoi7k.jpg

The Head Boy was not a seven? This would not do. He ran after Treyen, zigging and zagging between people in the middle. He was so close.... Yes! Contact! "Gotcha, buck-o! Welcome to Team Seven!"

neutral zone with 7.
 

Well, this was all rather fast, wasn't it?

First, he'd been 2, then 4 which lasted longer, and now a number 8? He was moving up. He chuckled...before attempting some calculations on his head...



Mmmhmmm. "So, October 23rd...but it could also be the 5th, or the 14th...," as far as he was concerned.

He was an 8, then?

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

NOT REALLY. He wasn't an eight anymore. HA.

"Thanks, man," they were on the same team, now? Tsk, tsk, he had to put his hand on the right desk to rest a little bit, plus he had a question to ask Keefer..., "Er....why buck-o?" he'd been confused about it since the first time he heard it...



AGAIN. It could be either October 22nd, or the 13th, or the 4th...or..., "Halloween!" October 31st! Yeah, he was soooo resting with number 7.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/seven.jpg

Xd
 

Keefer chuckled in victory, also resting up a bit at the safety of the desks. "Sorry, I probably picked that up from my uncle. He's always called me that for as long as I can remember." Hopefully Treyen wasn't upset. That wouldn't do.

"Hope you're ready to convert more people to Team Seven!" Keefer began to scan the chaos, looking for his next victim.

Ella noticed a number seven and smiled. Quietly, she snuck up behind the boy and reached out to tag him. "Here, number 4 for you!" She smiled and walked off into the crowd.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Come on tag me!! I promise not to bite xD
 

Alyssa decided that she'd have enough rest. So she decided to try one more time to see if she could tag someone or if anyone would tag her.

So she walked into the middle of the class to see what happened. Tag or be tagged.

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/fbf3d919.jpg

When Amelia saw Alyssa out in the open, she thought that now would be a perfect time to tag her since the last time she had tried to someone else had got her first.

She tapped the girl on the shoulder. "Tag! You are now a number 5."

Minerva walked up to Ella "Tag again" she laughed "You are now an 8"

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/eight.jpg

...still resting.
 

As weird as it felt to be called 'buck-o', Treyen had to laugh at Keefer, though. No, he didn't mind, he actually minded the 'why was Keefer calling him that' part of it all. Now he knew...well, he hoped the name wouldn't catch on, but he didn't mind that it came from Keefer.

"Oh, got it." So, it wasn't really on purpose. He...still wasn't sure about the meaning, though...

...more people to bring onto Team Seven? Sure! Just...hold on...not yet.

Strange as it may be, but Alyssa was actually glad that she had been tagged. "Thanks,"smiled at Amelia before making the calculations that would get her to the Personal Number 5. Her Personal month day was 7, so she picked the 25th

25= 2+5 = 7
7+7 = 14
1+4= 5

Once she had got the Personal Day number, Alyssa made her way to the 5 safe desk and touched it.

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/5642ddfa.jpg

Sierra was still lingering in the middle of the room, people rushing around left and right tagging anyone within reach. For some reason, though, she had yet to get tagged. This was a first for her--waiting to get caught! The thing was, she couldn't participate in the game if she didn't get caught, so...she just left herself wide open to get tagged.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

Minerva went up to another student and smiled. "You look like you want a new number. Tag you are now an 8"

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/eight.jpg

"I do, yes" Sierra said, and she even went as far as to hold out her arm to make it easier to get the tagged. Ohh, the things she'd do for house points! She was even being nice to the Puffers for a change, but again, that was only because house points were at stake.

...and now she was back to being an eight. How was it that her number always went back to eight? Anyway...

"October 8," she mumbled to herself.

9 + 8 = 17
1 + 7 = 8

Who was out there just waiting to be tagged?

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

Deciding that she had had a long enough break, Kurumi pushed herself off the desks and sort of loomed off to the side, not moving too far away from the safe zones just in case. Then...she noticed Sierra and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips for some unknown reason.

Kurumi ran up behind the Slytherin, placed a hand on her left shoulder, and attempted to muffle a giggle. "Tag!"

Not waiting for her glare reaction, Kurumi scampered off.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

Minerva had been an 8 for sometime.. She was getting tired of being one, but she still looked around to see if anyone could be tagged.

Just when Sierra whirled around, she caught sight of Hollingberry the Hero running throughout the room. Okay, so what number did the girl have? If it was an eight, Sierra didn't even need to bother. If it was something else, though...

Sierra didn't need to wonder much longer, though. Hollingberry was gaining on her, and since Sierra needed another number to figure out, she let the girl tag her. "Thanks, Hollingberry," she muttered.

There. That should startle the girl to next Saturday and back.

"October 4," thought Sierra.

9 + 4 = 13
1 + 3 = 4

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

...and now it was time for payback.

"Hey, ..." Hey, you! Sierra didn't know the girl's name, but when she got a bit closer, she reached out and tagged her. "Right back at'cha. Now you're a four."

Ella couldn't believe Minnie had tagged her again. She was really quite good at this game, tagging people left and right. Ella walked over to safety and began thinking of a way to get an 8. Alright so 8 + what is going to get back to 8? Well 8+27 means 8+(2+7) which is 8+9 which is 17 and 1+7 equals 8! "October 27th will give me an 8." Ella smiled, happy to have figured it out. She decided to take a breather and watch the other students for a minute or so.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...1234/eight.jpg

Glenn saw a non eight and decided to move in, "Tag!" She called as she tapped her lightly on the shoulder, "You're now an eight." Glenn said, skipping away from her.

http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...h/e6b38533.jpg

Ira went to the centre of the class and tapped a girl on her shoulder, "Tag! Number 4 now!"

Ella had only just left the safety zone when a classmate came out of nowhere and tagger her. She jumped a bit when she was tapped on the shoulder but smiled at her tagger. "Okidoki!" Now, 8+23 is 8+(2+3) is 8+5 which equals 13 which is 1+3 which equals 4. October 23rd would work! "October 23rd!" She said aloud as she headed back into the center of the classroom, eager to tag someone.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Minerva smiled. "Thanks I was getting kind of bored." Ok now she had to think of a 4. hmmm ok what if I do 2+8=10, 1+0=1, 1+3=4. "Ok my day is the 28th." she giggled and went looking for someone to tag or be tagged again.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...an807/four.jpg

Alyssa had seen that Glenn had still not returned to her safe zone, so she quietly crept up behind her and then tapped her on the shoulder and said,"Tag You're now a 5"

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/5642ddfa.jpg

She then went back to standing in the middle to tag more non 5's.

Alyssa saw Amelia join her in the middle of the floor. It looked like she came for the 4's. So Alyssa stepped up to her and smiled,"Hi there, how are you doing? My name is Alyssa."

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/5642ddfa.jpg

Guys, we need some non 4's to start tagging people or else no one can do anything XD
 

Thanks?!

Kurumi stared at Sierra. Wait...was the world coming to an end? No, this wasn't a sign of that. If she had said 'Thanks, KURUMI' then all of Hogwarts should be worried about the Dark Lord rising from the ashes and destroying everything. Right now, maybe only half of Hogwarts would come crashing down or something.

"Um...you're...welcome?" she asked...still in shock.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg

Sophie smiled and walked up to Alyssa. She touched her arm and grinned at the girl. "Tag!"

http://i44.tinypic.com/2uqoi7k.jpg

Number five now? Okay, Glenn calculated "October 15th" She murmured to herself and went over to the desks to rest up a little bit before heading back out again.

Minnie went out into the middle of the floor. There were so many fours maybe she needed to be tagged to another number. So she just skipped around waiting watching any possible taggies or taggers..

Vashti had been able to escape the other students' for awhile, and soon she had gone over and touched a desk for a couple minutes so she wouldn't be tagged unexpectedly. But soon, it seemed lots of the students were once again becoming the same number - this time a four - and so Vashti decided to move away from the desks and back into the middle of the room. As she did, she noticed another girl who appeared to be around her age doing the same, so she ran over and tapped her shoulder.

"Tag!" she said, grinning. "You're now an eight." Then she quickly walked in another direction, searching for another person to tag.

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...r/aae872d4.jpg

The fours were starting to take over the game and Ella knew she would need to be tagged by someone else if she wanted to continue playing. She saw Minnie skipping around and decided to take the same approach. She started walking in circles, hoping to entice another numbered played to tag her. Come and tag meeeee!

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...d1234/four.jpg

Alright. 8. Anya was going to be an eight now...

She thought for a moment. Her Personal Month was 2... which meant she needed 6 more numbers.

"October 15th!" she declared happily.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...Anya/eight.jpg

Now to find someone new! Her eyes landed on someone walking around in circles.

"Tag! Eight!" she said going to tag the other girl. And now she was off to tag someone else!

Amelia was surprised when she was said hello to. Though it was a pleasant surprise. She smiled at the girl. "Hi! I'm Amelia. I'm doing good I'm having fun. How about you?" Though she had a feeling she might know her name already because of classes. It was nice meeting new people though. :33

Didn't stop her from being wary though, in case she was tagged again.

Oh. When Amelia had been momentarily distracted, she got tagged again. And she was back to her original Personal Day Number. :3

"October 17!" she said immediately. That was today. ^_^

http://i44.tinypic.com/2dt0g9i.jpg

Ella smiled, happy to be tagged. "Thanks!" I've been 8 several times now so I know several days that could work... "October 9th or October 27th!" she said with a smile.

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...1234/eight.jpg

Minerva walked around looking for someone to tag. She was out in the open watching everyone around her.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...an807/four.jpg

Jezzabelle ran across the room and snuck up behind Kurumi. "Tag! You're an eight."

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

At least she was pretty sure she was an eight no one had tagger her lately...odd.

Did a Hufflepuff just touched him? A Hufflepuff?! Hades immediately jumped away from her. Eeeww!!! Now he had to send his uniform for super cleaning if that even existed. Either way, he needed to clean his uniform afterwards. The Badger disease can be contagious!

Giving the girl a death glare, he walked away.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/eight.jpg

Before he touched anyone, Hades saw girl with a red badge. As the girl looked like she was in shock, he took the chance and ran towards her and placed his palm on his back. "Tag! Number eight!" he said before running off to the nearest desk. He needed to catch his breath.

Glenn saw an eight, there was getting to be too many of those. She ran over and tapped her arm, "Tag! Now you're a four!" Glenn ran off before someone could catch her again, she skipped over to a desk and put her hand on it, catching her breath.

http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...Witch/four.jpg

Aha! But not for long. Treyen decided to take his hand away from the desk, considering that Amelia was close by...and...with his hand on her shoulder he said, "You're a seven!" AGAIN.

She'd been a seven before, hadn't she?

It was becoming hard to keep track of this. And...he went back to the desk. He kind of wanted to see if he needed to turn Keefer back to his number or not.

Minerva walked around trying to see who she could tap. Hmm every time she got someone in view they either went to the safe zone or were tagged by someone else.

Sophie kept walking around the room, waiting to spot someone to tag.

Aha! She reached for the Gryffindor girl and touched her shoulder. "Tag! You're a four now!" she smiled. She then noticed the girl had alrady been tagged and was a four. Heh. "I'm Sophie, by the way!"

No sooner had Kurumi pushed herself off the desks had Jezz appeared behind her. Kurumi had caught her out of the corner of her eye, spun around, and attempted to dodge the first year's hands, but she had been too slow.

"October 3," she nodded. That would certainly do it.
And she had been tagged again. Did this mean that she could...add her two 8's together and get a new number? Kurumi glanced around for Professor Hadley, but couldn't really see her through the mass of students running around. So, 8 is was for the time being.

Gah! She didn't even get the chance to be an eight that long.

(7) + (2+4)
(7) + (6)
(1+3)=
4

So October 24 would give her the number four....awesome. She looked around for someone to tag.

http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...Witch/four.jpg

...and now she was an eight again.

Was there nobody at all with a one, three, five, six, or nine? They'd been at this for a while, and Sierra seemed to be calculating for the same few numbers over and over. Ehh... At least she was getting good at doing four, seven, and eight. She'd only been a two once.

"October 17," she said.

9 + (1+7)
9 + 8 = 17
1 + 7 = 8

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

Ehh...

She shrugged. She hadn't said that to be nice. She'd said it because she needed to do another play for the house points, and Hollingberry had allowed her the chance of another play. She wasn't trying to be Saint Sierra the Arithmancer.

After regaining his energy again, Hades saw another Gryffindor who was alone. He smirked as he tiptoed behind her at the same time his eyes looked around just in case if someone was approaching him. Hades stopped as he reached the girl who had her back facing him. He patted both of her shoulders. "Tag! You're number eight," he beamed excitedly and ran off.

Now back to being an 8 again, Kurumi scanned the area looking for someone to tag. She sort of missed her days of being a five. Well, seconds of being a 5 since as soon as the game had started she had been tagged three times by different people.

Then, she spotted August and THIS time she was going to actually tag him.
Rushing up to him, Kurumi POKED him in the side. "Tag!"

Alyssa was looking at Glenn that she hadnt see Sophie come up and tag her. Now she was a 4.

Personal month number 7. So her calendar day had to be the 6th.

6+7=13
1+3=4

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/473c00ed.jpg

Instead of going to her safe desk, Alyssa stayed in the middle of the floor to tag others.

Meh. This was all giving Jezzabelle a headache. 4's and 8's. She missed her 6. And all this math just to figure out the date was no fun either...which she ahd to do all over again.

(7) + (1+0)
(7) + (1)=
8

So on October 10, her Personal day number shall be 8.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

She leaned against a desk and decided it was time to break.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/seven.jpg

Well, Messer is a seven, he looked around the classroom looking for someone he could tag on. Hmm..He saw an older Hufflepuff near him.

"Tag!" he poked her in her arm. "You're a seven now." he grinned.

Ira was becoming a bit bored with this game. It was becoming a little less exciting than it was before. She decided not to tag anyone for a while and so, she herself started walking back to the desks...

Alyssa noticed that Kurumi had been busy poking August that she had forgotten to return to her safety zone, so she turned to her and tapped on the shoulder. "Tag you are a 4". Now that Alyssa had successfully tagged somebody, she decided to rest and went back and sat on the safe zone desk for 4's.

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/473c00ed.jpg

Zhenya was a number Eight, and she hadn't been tagged for a while. She looked around and saw people were either already number Eight, or they were on the safe zone... so what to do? She just stood in the middle waiting to be tagged.

Minerva smiled when she was tagged. "Ok seven let me think.. 1+3=4 4+3=7. My day is the 13th.. Ooo I hope it's not on a Friday." She giggled and went looking for someone to tag.
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg


It didn't take to long to find someone to take. She went up to the girl smiling. "Tag you are now a seven." Minerva smiled and skipped away.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...n807/seven.jpg

Why did it seem that the only people playing the game were the same people Sierra had already tagged about five times already? Just as she started looking around for someone else to tag, that same Hufflepuff girl, the one who'd tagged her and been tagged by her several times already, passed by.

Sierra overheard her mentioning being a seven, and so when the girl got within a close range, Sierra reached out and tagged her. "...and now you're an eight," she said with a grin.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg

HAHA! Take that August! No tripping! No missing! Just a full on tag and...

oh...

This is why Kurumi had given up Quidditch. She got distracted too easily. Really, the only sport she was able to focus for extended periods of time on was kendo and that was mostly due to her being trained in it ever since she could stand. Three older brothers and your home being part dojo would do that.

Which one of the dates giving Kurumi a 4 hadn't she used yet? "October...8"

At least, she thought she hadn't used that one yet.

Deciding that she had had enough running around and calculating, Kurumi made her way towards the desks when she spotted the same Hufflepuff from earlier that she had tagged. Couldn't hurt to tag her again, right? "Tag," she chirped before continuing her way towards the safe zone and leaning against it.

Hopefully this would all be ending soon. She was beginning to get tired.
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...an807/four.jpg

Zhenya stood where she was tagged; as a Seven. Hmm, okay. So to be a 7, and her number was 2... "October 5th," she thought. Yes?

She looked around, and smiled seeing all the colourful numbers.

Messer frowned when he saw an older scary looking Slytherin girl tagged his current victim. He walked slowly toward the girl hoping that she didn't see him coming. And POKED "Tag! You're a seven." he grinned.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/seven.jpg

He looked around to find someone to tag too but it seem that most of the students already standing in the safe zone.

Ella smiled as she saw a fellow first year that she recognized from the sorting hat ceremony. She didn't know him but she thought it was the perfect time to introduce herself. Tiptoeing up behind him, she tapped him on the shoulder and smiled widely. "I'm Ella! and-well you're an 8 now!"

http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...1234/eight.jpg

anyone feel free to tag Tayla ;)
 

Tayla followed a younger student, tapped her back, and smiled. "Hi Ella," she greeted, overhearing the girl saying her name. "I'm Tayla. And now you're a three!"
