Arithmancy One: Daily Vibes & More About Personal Year, Month, Day Numbers
After what seemed like months had passed, Josephina was finally ready to hold her first lesson of the term. Of course the leaves were only just starting to change color, so it wasn't as if term was truly that far in, but even so. It wasn't her fault that she had several issues interrupting her train of thought. Pulling her thick brown hair back into a fast ponytail, she went to stand by the door with a parchment and quill, as she waited for the students to come.
The desks were arranged in a typical classroom fashion today - neat rows, with chairs that were definitely far more comfortable than they appeared.
Have a seat, the lesson will begin shortly.
ooc: Make yourselves comfortable. We'll officially start in a few hours. Keep the chit-chat to a minimum. Acquaint yourself with the rules, if you haven't done so already. Class started. You're encouraged to participate if you didn't post coming in, but please PRETEND as though you've been here the whole time.
Number 3-Your deepest desire is to make people happy, to create enthusiasm, to laugh, and to encourage all to strive to be their best. You love life and enjoy using your creative talents. In matters of the heart and friendship, you may change your mind often because you just want to have fun! You often trip over your own enthusiasm, being overtly flirtatious or friendly.

FOUR (4): 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.
All that math and she prayed that there wasn't a single mistake found on there.

She tired to figure out how she messed up and got such a large number.
Having finished her own calculations, Kurumi smiled when she saw the younger Puff helping the younger Slytherin girl, only it seemed that the poor thing was still a little confused. Kurumi leaned back in her seat a bit and looked at her paper, showing the girl her own parchment as well. "You're almost there, but you don't need to add up ALL the letters in your name, just the vowels," she explained as she pointed to her own parchment. "So, just take the numbers for the U, E, and Y in your first name and the E and A in your last name." The Y in her name acted like a vowel from what Kurumi could tell. "Then keep adding everything until you get to a small single digit number." She pointed to her work again, hoping that the visual would help.

Minerva realized her she forgot to tell Butterfly that in her explanation. "I'm sorry Butterfly that was my fault. I didn't mention to add just the vowels together." Well Kurumi had taken over in helping so Minerva just turned back to her own parchment.
Kurumi smiled and watched as the girl gave everything another try. Good good, only the vowels this time. Except...
"Good, only there is one small little problem," Kurumi said pointing to the Slytherin's numbers. "You accidentally added the number corresponding to the L in your name instead of the Y. That second 3 should be a 7."

But it might not explicitly spell out for you that you will be a healer or a curse-breaker." No. That part was very vague.
As Kurumi just explained what she said to Laura. "Quite right. The soul urge and Life Path numbers are a part of your core numbers. The life path could be in a sense, described as your road map." She noticed the fifth year then scribbling something down and Fina had to stride to peek down at them.
"Ah yes. Wonderful, Kurumi. Your life path number is an 8!" She beamed. "Would you mind transcribing that on the board as an example?"
Everyone wanted to describe the life path, but no one seemed willing to take a stab at the soul urge number. Josephina just nodded though, as Louisa answered, with nothing really new.
"Why so hesitant?" Josephina noticed in the girl's voice. "You're quite on the right line of thinking." And besides, the girl was young. She even described the soul urge very slightly. "Yes, the soul urge, since it describes your secret thoughts and wishes, your desires, you will use your name to help figure it out. The vowels are used to find your soul urge number."
As her captain seemed to be struggling to formulate an answer, she smiled when he went on about the life path. "Precisely. A guardian or tour guide, in a sense." She nodded at him.
As she was about to continue on about the soul urge - the students already touched a lot on the life path themselves, Josephina heard the muttering of a word she never liked to hear. "Young lady! Pick that quill back up. Nothing is impossible and it's prudent to jump to such conclusions when we haven't even started any calculations yet!" She will not have her students leaning back.
"Now, back to the soul urge number. As you've already talked a lot about the life path, the soul urge number, or your heart's desire is just that. It's what you desire. Your true motivation behind that life path. Behind your destiny. What you value." Fina explained, hopefully in terms that they could understand.
"To calculate this number, you use your full name on your birth certificate, and assign the corresponding number from the chart in chapter two to each vowel in your name." She wrote her own full name on the board to demonstrate:
"One that it is important to remember is that you figure out each name separately, reducing to a single digit, before combining the names to find the single-digit root number." She continued. "If you remember from last term, we talked about PEDMAS, the order of operations. Just think of that when doing your calculations."
"Now, because I know some of you are going to ask," Josephina said as she addressed the class once more. "Why I didn't include in the Y in my calculations? This is because the Y in my surname does not act as a vowel. If it acts as a vowel, then it is one. If it does not act as a vowel, then do not include it in your soul urge number calculations. Go ahead and calculate this number and your life path number; Kurumi will be putting an example of that calculation on the board."
ooc: You have about 12 hours to work on this activity, since I have work tonight. So we'll continue - hopefully - at about 11pm EST with at least one new thing, hopefully but since i have the turnaround shift tonight into tomorrow, it'll be a brief continuation tonight <3
Alright Oakey time to get down to the nitty gritty. He opened his text book for extra help if needed and set hi quill upright for it to begin writing. As he scanned the book for more information on Life Path Numbers. He peeked up for a moment to see what it was the Kurumi had written on the board. his quill started writing the data that Hadley had asked for after Kurumi's example on the board.

Oakey peered up from the text when he saw that his quill had finished his Life Path Number equation. It had said "One", Oakey dove back into his book and skimmed it until he found what "One" meant for him.
He read the definition to himself and looked over at his quill who had been motionless for a moment. Then it began to scribble down what Oakey had wanted it to.

With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing.
His quill rested itself and Oakey waited for the Professor to check his work. He wasn't sure if he should include the Y in his first name, Oakey raised his hand. Professor I wasn't sure if I needed to include the Y in my name? I did as you said because your name ends in E-Y like mine, but it doesn't seem right.

Kurumi looked over at Butterfly's parchment again and nodded. "Good, now you just need to add the 1 and 2 together," she instructed. "There are only a few double digit numbers where you don't need to do that." She reached back to her desk for her textbook to show her. "So, besides those last three sets, keep adding until you get a single digit."

She was sure she got it this time,"Thanks for the help." She said both to Minnie and the other girl that helped her.

Life Path? Soul Urge? Beezus was sure they already had that last term. It was a good thing though, they were reviewing with it and not tackling more complicated calculations. She was sure she'd be fine with calculating for it now since Kurumi already helped her with that.
When Professor Hadley told them to start calculating for the said numbers. She immediately pulled out a parchment from her backpack. Then she dipped the quill in the inkwell as she started writing the equivalents of the letters and numbers first.

That way, she wouldn't have any errors when finding the equivalent number to the letters. She shuffled in her seat as she took out another piece of parchment. She'll start calculating the her Soul Urge and Life Path now.
She stared at the parchment for a second. She was not the type who would review their work afterwards. She didn't want to read everything again and again so she decided to just ask the Professor if she calculated her Soul Urge and Life Path numbers correctly. "Professor, excuse me..Can you please take a look at my parchment?" she asked after raising her hand. She'd be looking up the meaning of the number a bit while later.
Sorry was going to jump in to help earlier, but 3G was bad.

Alyssa was glad that Kurumi had jumped in to help both Butterfly and Minnie. If she hadn't, she would have. Puffies needed to look out for each other. Glad that Butterfly now had the right calculations, Alyssa sat back to wait for the Professor to recheck her own calculations.

Moving onto his Life Path Number, Gideon wrote down his full birthday this time rather then his name. The boy needing to momentarily count back to remember the year since the month and day were obvious.

One...that sounded like it might be interesting, though one could never tell with numbers in arithmacy. Turning to the meanings in the textbook pages, he looked up the signifignance of 1 for Life path and copied it down as well. At least it was a more positive answer but Gideon still wasn't sure how accurate it was to him.
Quote:
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.
He had this. Kennedy had his text book open on the desired page and his quill and parchment ready. He scanned the text and then rubbed the back of his neck. It looked like hard work and...to many numbers, but this would be a good challenge. Plus, he did fairly well last term, so it couldn't be too bad this time around, right?

This was the moment Sierra wished it was appropriate to bang her head against the desk. She loathed Arithmancy, and although calculating these two numbers would be a piece of cake, she just didn't want to do them. Blahh. Nevertheless, she dipped her quill in ink and began:
Sierra flipped through her texbook, curious as to what the number three would tell her.
Text Cut: Three
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.
Inspiring others?! Who really cared how others felt?! ...and dancing?! Wow. What a number. O_o
With a slight frown toward her textbook, Sierra moved on to her Soul Urge Number:

ONE (1): You want to lead more than anything and may want to control others too. You do not like being subordinate or taking orders. 1 Soul Numbers are often ambitious, independent, headstrong, and willful. You stay away fom teams, committees - and mediocrity. In matters of the heart and friendship, everything is great when the object of your affection/friendship lives up to your expectations. You expect that person to be as charming, clever, and independent as you are. You may seem cold or distant but it is only because you are protecting yourself.
Leading? Controlling? Now this was more like it! Pleased with those results, she grinned, looked up, and waiting for the lesson to move along.

Alright. So this class was practically arithmetic. Anya was good at that!
Alright, so first to figure out that Soul Urge number thing. She repeated her name over and over in her head. There were two 'y's and she needed to see if they were vowels. So... the y in 'Anya' wasn't a vowel... because the word 'Anga' sounded the same. And the y in 'Riley' was because 'Rilen' sounded different.
FIVE (5): Your primary desire is to be entirely unrestricted, followed closely by a passion for travel and change. You can't stand to feel confined or lulled by routine. You love to experience variety and the stimulation life can offer. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are exquisite and extraordinary, adventurous and ready to risk. But most of all, you crave variety.
Neat. Anya did like to try lots of things. She always figured it was because of her attention span though.
SEVEN (7): Your path will lead you to study, test, and analyze everything because you can't be satisfied with anything at face value. You'll seek the meaning of existence and will always be exploring mysteries and the unexplainable to find meaning for your life. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - sharing your wisdom of the metaphysical with others. You're a born seeker - philosophical, scientific, etc. - and because of your solitary investigation of the unknown, others will seek you out for your wisdom. Career/vocation options include any job that calls for analysis, deductive reasoning, or scientific knowledge, such as teaching, or any field where you'll be allowed to study or contemplate things bigger than you.
This was interesting. She didn't really consider herself a deep or 'philosophical' person, but she did like discovering and exploring things.
Of course, those things were normally woods.

Hmmm...calculating these two numbers wouldn't be too hard it seemed to the Gryffindor as he watched how it was done by Professor Hadley and Kurumi. Auggie pulled his parchment and quill closer to him and began to calculate.
So what did that mean? August quickly turned away from his work on the paper and flipped through his textbook to find the number definition. There it was.
SPOILER!!: Meaning of Number three
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.

Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.
A born communicator did seem to describe him at times and August couldn't help but help but chuckle at the bit about illustrating and thinking about the horrible drawing he had done in Divination last term.
FOUR (4): Your desire is to have a plan and meet life in an organized manner. You wish to be practical about everything you do, loving your appointment book, agendas, setting clear boundaries, and knowing the expectations of all concerned. You like to know the plan and be in control - you don't want surprises along the way! You can be a great facilitator, bringing out the best in each individual by building a synergy between people. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are practical in emotional attachments and like to keep things under control. You may not seem romantic or spontaneous, but your planning is designed to thrill and delight others!
Now that Ira had calculated both, her Soul urge number and Life path number, she proceeded to see what they meant.
First, came her Soul urge number. What was it? Oh yeah, number 9. She looked in her textbook and here was what it said:
Quote:
NINE (9): You are the very soul of compassion. You want, above all else, to love the world and all that's in it. With your high ideals and power to influence others, you strive for universal perfection and universal love. You are deeply intuitive and charitable, often torn by your own emotional needs and the greater needs of others. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are loving and idealistic. In fact, you love of others seems boundless - because it is.
And then came her life path number. It was 11. She again looked in her textbook for its interpretation, and this was what she found.
Quote:
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.
So finally she had completed her work!
But the interpretations were way different than what she really was. Though it was flattering enough, it wasn't the truth! She decided to ask the professor, "Professor, at least as far as I know myself, I am not like how the numbers tell about me.. So what does this mean?"
Without the slightest confusion showed on his face, Hades took out a quill, ink and parchment from his desk. Several times after he dipped the quill into the ink, he began to write on the piece of parchment.
After finished with the calculations, Hades pulled out his book at flicked to chapter six on the life path number before chapter age on the soul urge number.
SPOILER!!: Meanings
Life Path Number 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.
Soul Urge Number FIVE (5): Your primary desire is to be entirely unrestricted, followed closely by a passion for travel and change. You can't stand to feel confined or lulled by routine. You love to experience variety and the stimulation life can offer. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are exquisite and extraordinary, adventurous and ready to risk.

Opening her textbook on chapter two, Sophie started doing the exercise.
Sophie put down her quill and looked around, trying to see her classmates work and see if hers was right. She decided to ask the professor herself. "Professor, did I do it right?" she asked raising her hand.
Hearing a small voice asking if her work was correct, Josephina hurried in the direction of the small Hufflepuff. Looking it over, she smiled. "Yes, my dear, you did."

Ira Adam Wilson
(9+1)+(1+1)+(9+6)

So her soul urge number was 9.
After rectifying her mistake, Ira looked around on what to do next.
"Much better, dear," Fina said as she passed by the young Gryffindor again.

(11)+(7)+(2+0+6+3)
=(11)+(7)+(11)

Woots! She got her life path number.. And it was a magic number 11!
Then she showed both her parchments containing her two calculations to the professor to verify it.
And then the girl proceeded to calculate her life path, to which Fina looked it over, shaking her head. "It's correct, yes, but please do try to use PEDMAS next time, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." For one, it's a lot easy to add single digits than trying to add two digit numbers.

Circling the result, Louisa opened her textbook and searched for what the number eight indicated.
SPOILER!!: Louisa's Urge Number
"You want to be the boss or at last have power of some kind in the world. It is difficult for you to comprehend the meotions of others and you prefer to stick to business over emotional affairs. You want to feel important in what you perceive to be the real world. In matters of the heart and friendship, you place business over emotional closeness. You should look for a stong, capable mate who is equal to your ambitions. But usually, you're just too busy for romance and true friendship."
What the heck. Louisa frowned at this. "Tis not true," she murmured to herself. Well, it was shocking to the girl to read her 'heart desires' written on an Arithmancy book and suggesting that she was... not into friendship or love affairs.
Pout.
Seeing a pout in the direction of a Ravenclaw, Josephina hurried over to investigate. Hazel eyes scanned the parchment and almost immediately, she discovered a couple of errors. "Two things, dear. In your first name, you missed a vowel." Because Louisa had a lot of vowels in it. "And in your middle name, the Y does act as a vowel, I believe." So in other words, if you're unhappy with your number, it's probably because it's not yours.

He wrinkled his eyebrows. What about the last bit of his name? The third? He raised his hand.
"Professor? I'm technically Alex Greingoth the third, do I add that bit to my name?" he asked. Uggh. Couldn't he just add a 3 to the end of the equation and be done with it?
Hearing a question from one of her Hufflepuffs, Fina looked up at Alex and blinked. "Um... well, I don't think the third is really part of your full name, is it? I mean is it on your birth certificate? What do you mean by technically?" Of course it was only two extra numbers in the case of the soul urge number anyway, by adding those two words on ....

Seeing another student waiting for her to check her work, Josephina approached the Ravenclaw's desk and pondered it a moment before repeating once more, "The Life Path is correct, yes, but please do try to use PEDMAS next time, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." But as for the soul urge... "Your soul urge number is incorrect though. You've mistaken the U for a 2, whereas on the Number System chart, it's actually 3."

It was when they started with the real practical stuff, that she started to concentrate properly.

ONE (1): You want to lead more than anything and may want to control others too. You do not like being subordinate or taking orders. 1 Soul Numbers are often ambitious, independent, headstrong, and willful. You stay away fom teams, committees - and mediocrity. In matters of the heart and friendship, everything is great when the object of your affection/friendship lives up to your expectations. You expect that person to be as charming, clever, and independent as you are. You may seem cold or distant but it is only because you are protecting yourself.
Once she had finished she stared at her partchment for a few moments. o__O "I must have done something wrong." she mumbled to herself quietly, because she didn't agree one bit with what her soul number had to say about her. She was far from being any sort of leader, she didn't expect much of her friends or at least she didn't think she did and as for teams, she didn't mind them at all. Then the last bit kind of hit her...that part was kind of true. She did push many people away all because she wanted to protect herself from repeating the same mistakes. She put her lips into a pot as she thought about her soul number in more detail, and come to think of it, it did, only a bit describe her.
Now onto her next calculation, this was even more confusing as they had to use their birthdates instead of using names or letters, which Nessie somehow found easier. Right, focus, Ness bit her lip, picked up her quil and then began with further calculations.

Now this was even worse than before, a frown formed on Nessie's face as she read what her life path was. This number five may have suited her just a little, but she wanted to get the number three, that was her destined fate, to be a dancer or something artistic like that. Thats what she wanted nothing else, and whatever this thing was saying about her she didn't agree with it.
Looking up at the Professor and then back down at her partchment, she lifed up her quill and 'fixed' up her calculations.

"Thats how it should be." she murmured to herself. "No one needs to know I was born two days after." Oops..the Professor didn't hear that right? Nope Nessie was sure she didn't.
Now to somehow keep the partchment away from Hadley, Nessie pouted once again and watched the Arithmancy Professor anxiously.
Oh good, someone who actually knew how to use PEDMAS. Nodding in satisfaction at the first number calculations, Fina frowned at the girl's Life Path Number. For one, the one she crossed out was incorrect, and two, when she redid it, she changed the day of her birth. "Um... Ness? Your addition is wrong no matter which day you were born on. And please, I'm trusting you to use your correct day of birth and not change it to get a certain life path number. That defeats the purpose of Arithmancy." She gave the redhead a stern look, basically telling her to do it correctly.

Daichi FROWNED as he read his soul urge number. This was absolutely NOT like him! the Slytherin held his hand in the air as he called for the Professor. Maybe he had done something wrong. "Professor Hadley!" he asked as he waved his hand a little to get her attention before pointing at his number.
"I don't think this is right... i don't want to control anyone or am i cold and distant. And i joined the Slytherin Quidditch team in my first and second year so...that part about staying away from teams also can't be true" more frowning before he looked up. "And i'm not clever or indepentend..

Now THIS was more like it. Daichi re-read the answer to his number and felt a smile creeping up on his lips. "This one looks much better, Professor" He said and placed the quill back on the desk and waited for the rest of the class to be done calculating.
Hearing someone call her name from across the room, Josephina perked up in shock and hurried over to the young slytherin to hear his dilemma. And as sad as it sounded, "Unfortunately, your calculations are both correct, but I am going to advise you ONCE MORE to use PEDMAS, in reducing each component to a single digit before you add them together." Seriously, she needed to start deducting points for those who DIDN'T use it and still chose to add up those large numbers.

You are deeply intuitive and charitable, often torn by your own emotional needs and the greater needs of others. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are loving and idealistic. In fact, you love of others seems boundless - because it is.
Once Alyssa had recalculated and found her Soul Urge Number and what it revealed, she raised her hand to show it to the Professor. "Professor, is my Soul Urge Number correct now?"
Hearing another request to review her work, Fina strode by the desk of Alyssa again and nodded as she glanced it over. "Much better, dear."

Finished with her calculation, she now started working on her Soul Urge Number:
She looked over her calculations then showed them to Professor Hadley so that she could double check them.
And another student was done. Looking over the girl's work, she nodded in approval. "Perfect." As it should be considering the year of the girl and the fact that this was basic stuff.

So she went to work on her parchment, planning on asking her question later.

Lily couldn't remember which one was which but she would figure it out. Raising her hand, Lily asked, "Umm, did I do my calculations right? and which one is my soul one, and which one is my life path one?" Lily was definitely confused about which was which and why they used these to predict what they did in life or what day was a good day for them... So all she could do was wait patiently for the teacher to check her work, and maybe explain some of this stuff to the class.
Seeing a hand-raise, Fina approached the young Ravenclaw and looked over her work. "The Life path number is the one with your birthday, and yes, that one is correct. The soul urge is the one where you use the vowels in your full name. It's almost correct. You've mistaken the number value for Y in your first name; it should be a 7, not a six."
Both 4s. Well, they seemed to do a decent job of describing her; cautious and organized, always following the rules. But scanning over the meanings of the different numbers in the textbook, Silvia felt like the number 7 described her a lot, as she enjoyed learning and liked to spend a lot of time by herself. But at least she didn't get a number that was completely opposite of what she felt she was like; plus these were not the only two numbers in arithmancy, so if she was lucky maybe she would find a few sevens in her numbers.
Passing by another Ravenclaw's desk, Josephina nodded in approval as she checked the girl's work.

Woah, this was a lot to think about. So how did his soul urge description fit in...?
And it was back to the captain again; looking it over as he worked on his life path number, she nodded in approval, as she looked to her prefect next to him who was just finishing up....

So, apparently, he stayed away from teams? That was actually funny, considering he had tried out for the Quidditch team. And, truth be told, he didn't expect anything from his friends...so as long as they were there.
Soul Urge Number, we don't agree.
As far as the Life Path stuff...there might be some rightness about it. Yet if he had calculated this at the beginning of the school year, well, this would've been wrong, especially with the 'optimistic' part.
Scanning over her prefect's parchment, she nodded at his calculations. They were, of course, good. He'd come quite a ways with the subject and she had to admit that she was proud of him.

THAT wasn't happening. But then, who was Hadley to say what her full name was? No one knew save for Treyen so........
And what did those mean? Ellie wasn't copying down the meanings onto her paper. That was laborious and unnecessary. That's what the textbook was FOR, no?
So, apparently, she just liked making people happy, according to her 'Soul Urge' number. How ridiculous, right? When did she ever care if someone else was happy about what she did?
A lot, kinda........Or, at least she cared a LOT about getting those seven OWLs for her mum, right? She even went the extra mile and passed eight in hopes of her mum forgiving her lack of Potions OWL.
Anyway..... Ellie flipped a page and looked at her 'Life Path' number. Leadership. Blah, blah, blah, she was Captain, was she not? The girl was beginning to think the number creepily accurate until her gaze fell upon the word 'bookstore'. As a possible career choice.
She had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.
And speaking of people who came a long way, Josephina passed by the desk of the Ravenclaw Captain next and looked over her work. "Good, good," she nodded in approval at the girl's calculations.

Hearing a rather loud laugh, Josephina turned in the direction of a young boy and went to look over his calculations... good ... good... oh no, wait... "Um..

Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - tolerance for all and the importance of caring for each other.

Blink blink. That was... a bit contradicting with her soul urge thing. She furrowed her eyebrows. Those two paragraphs were trying to pass her some kind of message. A complicated one at that, too. She put down her quill and continued to move her gaze from one paragraph to the other, trying to grasp the keywords and connecting them together before trying to fit them in her life.
Back to Louisa again, who had decided to start work on her life path. This time though, she was correct, to which Josephina nodded at her with approval.

She also hated routines, Glenn liked doing something different every day, she couldn't stand getting up at the same time every day, to sit at the same desk and do the same work every day. School was different, she learned something new and met new people every day so it wasn't a routine. She was starting to like Arithmancy, Glenn raised her hand again "Professor Hadley, is this correct?"She smiled and doodled idly in the corner of her journal while she waited for the next instruction.
ooc: Hehe, I totally kept referring to Lockhartian's post to make sense of this
Hearing another innocent voice asking her to check her work, Josephina strode over to the young second year and looked over her work. "Your soul urge is technically correct. Except well, your surname is tricky with that Y. I'm not sure I would count it as a vowel." She paused contemplating. "But then your life path... you got almost to the end and then when you went and added up the three components, you've made a small adding mistake..." 8 plus 2 plus 3 did not equal 14, after all.

The Gryffindor simply took notes, adding to what he had for previous years so his knowledge of the topic was all in one place. Finally they had their first calculations to do and the 5th year went to work on mapping out his Soul's Urge number.
Once he had his number, Gideon turned the pages of his textbook to the appropriate chapter on the subject. His finger scrolling down the page for number 8 and the boy making a slight face as he read it. Soooo not him.
Seeing an older boy making a face, Josephina strode over to investigate the boy's calculations. "What's wrong? It looks correct to me."

Minerva raised her hand. "Professor could you check my work?" then she noticed Butterfly looked frustrated. "Could you use some help, is that ok Professor if I help her?"
Walking over toward Minnie as she asked her to check her work, she looked it over.... perusing the girl's parchment. Soul urge looked good... but ... "Your Life path... I'm not sure that I really follow your calculations for that one. As in, I can see your year of birth, but your month and day, seem unclear to me where you included them in the calculation." She smiled gratefully though when the second year volunteered to help the Slytherin in need of assistance.

Once that was done, she set her quill down for a moment and looked in the textbook to find out what a "five" meant. The descriptions were always the hardest for her to remember.
Text Cut: Meaning
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.
"Change is key"? True as that might be, she didn't really like change. She didn't welcome it when it came, especially not the big change that was coming when June rolled around.
"Championing freedom"? She just...bit her lip at that, not really sure what to make of it.
Progressive, super-resourceful...equally good at many different trades? She liked the first part, but the second part...she wasn't sure about that. So moving on.
Career/vocation options! Yes, she needed these!
...Er. Public, advertising, publicity, or sales? Yeah, none of those sounded appealing. Sigh. Travel though...she would definitely like that.
Anyway. Moving on to the Heart's Desire/Soul Urge one.
NINE (9): You are the very soul of compassion. You want, above all else, to love the world and all that's in it. With your high ideals and power to influence others, you strive for universal perfection and universal love. You are deeply intuitive and charitable, often torn by your own emotional needs and the greater needs of others. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are loving and idealistic. In fact, you love of others seems boundless - because it is.
This one...was nice. She wasn't sure it was completely accurate, but it was nice to think that it might be. It was better than her Life Path one anyway.
Not that she really felt she needed to check the Head Girl's work, she walked by anyway, just for the sake of it and scanned her parchment, nodding in approval.

My path is one that lead me to live responsibly at home and work to achieve balance between giving and receiving.This path is one of aid and service. And once i've learned this lesson i shall move to the next phase-Achieving balance between giving and receiving. I'm a born counselor and others seek me out for advice. Career/ Vocation- Options include any job in the service industry where I can make life more comfortable , easy and luxurious for others. To include medicine, decorating , beauty products , training animals , teaching or counseling.

I want to be the bossor at least have some sort of power in the world. It is difficult for me to comprhend the emotions of others and prefer to stick to business over emotional affairs. I want to feel more important in what I perceive to be the real world.In matters of the heart and friendships, I place business over emotional closeness. I should look for a strong capable mate who equals my ambitions. But I'm usually too busy for romance and true friendships.
"They're both correct now," Josephina said, passing by a young Hufflepuff's desk. "But you should know that it would probably be easier if you don't write ALL the numbers down for each letter. Just the vowels. This way you wouldn't accidentally add in the wrong number. You can just put a dash or something in place of the number." Just a tidbit.

"Certainly, professor," Kurumi replied, bowing her head slightly as she stood up and walked towards the board, taking her parchment with her. Picking up a piece of chalk, Kurumi wrote as neatly as she could in medium sized numbers on the board.
Dusting off her hands and setting the chalk down, Kurumi returned to her seat.
Picking up her quill again, Kurumi began to work on her soul urge number calculations. First things first, writing down her full name. It was times like this that she was pleased Japan didn't have a tradition of giving middle names - although, she was pretty sure Professor Hadley had marked her down during her first term for not using her full name on an assignment when she had in fact done so. Now, it was a matter of whether or not the Y in her name worked as a vowel or not.
Leaning back in her seat a bit, Kurumi whispered her last name without the Y and with it. No, it had to be a vowel. Without it there her name sounded nothing like what it was. Vowels only, remember that. Just to make sure that she didn't make a silly mistake, Kurumi assigned a value of 0 to all the consonants. Visual cues were always helpful.
Kurumi read over the description and nodded every now and again. It seemed to fit...minus beauty being considered something very important to her. Sure, Kurumi did value it to some degree...but it wasn't in the top five things she thought about when she was making a list of her personal values.
Setting her quill down, Kurumi waited for Professor Hadley to double check her work and for whatever came next.
"You... still ended up with the correct answer, but you do realize you added the I from Kurumi as part of your last name as well... right? So you got an extra 9 in there..." You know, just an FYI. But since 27 and 36 are both multiples of 9, it made no difference. In this case.

Paulie skimmed over his result. The very soul of compassion? He gave an amused smirk. Uh huh. Maybe an aspect or two of it was true, but he paid little heed to it.

(0+9) + (1+2) + (2+0+6+0)

2 + 0 = 2
TWO (2): Your path will lead you to seek balance and harmony in all that you do and you'll learn the benefits of cooperation and compromise, as well as patience and peacekeeping. Once you've incorporated these traits, you'll move on to the next phase - drawing others together. You were born to relate to others - and make certain that others relate well to each other as well. But be sure to remember not to ignore yourself and your own needs while you're making sure everyone else is cooperating. People with 2 Life Paths are extremely sensitive that they need to be careful not to become the world's doormat. Career/vocation options include jobs that allow you to mediate, negotiate, take care of details, be in a supportive role, or gather facts.
And then he looked over the Life Path number. Doormat? Like hell he'd ever be a doormat! All of the career options sounded like total snoozers, but luckily he had his career path figured out for himself - no numbers needed.
He tossed his quill to the side for now and looked up to see Kurumi at the blackboard. Can you say.. Hermione Granger incarnate? He smiled a bit anyhow because it was cool how good she was at EVERYTHING. Everything related to academics, at least.
Seeing that a certain Paulie Foster had rested his quill to the side, she strode by to have a peek at his parchment, despite him not having raised his hand. She nodded though in approval and then moved on....registering faintly on the fact that he was seated next to a certain Ravenclaw.

FOUR (4): 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.
All that math and she prayed that there wasn't a single mistake found on there.
Another Gryffindor who hadn't asked, but she glanced over the girl's work all the same and nodded at her in approval when she didn't see anything blatantly wrong with her calculations.
SPOILER!!: Butterfly and those who helped her, Thank you!

M – I – N – E – R – V – A
4 – 9 – 5 – 5 – 9 – 4 – 1
H – E – R – M – I – O – N – E
8 – 5 – 9 – 4 – 9 – 6 – 5 – 5
W – H – E – A – T – B – O – R – N
5 – 8 – 5 – 1 – 2 – 2 – 6 – 9 – 5
Now you will add each number in the names together. So add all the numbers in your first name to get an answer, middle for an answer, and last for a number. You want them to end up in single numbers so if get a sum of 15 for your first name you will then add 1+5 to get a 6. Once you get all the names sums you will add those together. So for mine it is 6+7+3 which ends up 16 then I take 16 and do 1+6 so I can get a single number of 7. Does this make sense at all?"

"Thank you, Miss Wheatborn and Miss Hollingberry, for helping out a classmate," she smiled at the girls, making a mental note about their efforts. Now, back to investigating the young Slytherin's work, which it seemed as though the two girls had helped her mostly enough out. At least she knew where to get the numbers from. "It's good, yes, but might I suggest if you don't need the numbers for the particular calculation you're doing, then you don't record it. It'll be easier so you don't accidentally add the wrong number." Just a tidbit.
"And yes, you should reduce your final answer to a single digit."

Oakey peered up from the text when he saw that his quill had finished his Life Path Number equation. It had said "One", Oakey dove back into his book and skimmed it until he found what "One" meant for him.
He read the definition to himself and looked over at his quill who had been motionless for a moment. Then it began to scribble down what Oakey had wanted it to.

Right now to get this Soul Urge Number done. Oakey once again drove his face into the text book and started scanning for more information on the stuff that Hadley had described. His Quill working just as hard as Oakey was reading
Oakey looked up once more when his quill laid itself down. It seems the answer was three. He began skimming for it's definition, once he found it the quill got back to work.
His quill rested itself and Oakey waited for the Professor to check his work. He wasn't sure if he should include the Y in his first name, Oakey raised his hand. Professor I wasn't sure if I needed to include the Y in my name? I did as you said because your name ends in E-Y like mine, but it doesn't seem right.
Hearing another question, Josephina looked over to Oakey and shook her head. "You did it correctly. I don't believe the Y is a vowel in your name, because of that E that's next to it."

When Professor Hadley told them to start calculating for the said numbers. She immediately pulled out a parchment from her backpack. Then she dipped the quill in the inkwell as she started writing the equivalents of the letters and numbers first.
That way, she wouldn't have any errors when finding the equivalent number to the letters. She shuffled in her seat as she took out another piece of parchment. She'll start calculating the her Soul Urge and Life Path now.
She stared at the parchment for a second. She was not the type who would review their work afterwards. She didn't want to read everything again and again so she decided to just ask the Professor if she calculated her Soul Urge and Life Path numbers correctly. "Professor, excuse me..Can you please take a look at my parchment?" she asked after raising her hand. She'd be looking up the meaning of the number a bit while later.
Hearing another request to look over her parchment, Josephina went over toward the young ravenclaw and glanced it over. Almost about to say it looked fine, she frowned. "No... your middle name ... in your soul urge number. You've made a minor calculating error there." So in other words, her soul urge number was wrong. "Otherwise, it's good."

Turning to the meanings in the textbook pages, he looked up the signifignance of 1 for Life path and copied it down as well. At least it was a more positive answer but Gideon still wasn't sure how accurate it was to him.
Again, though Gideon hadn't asked for her to look over his parchment, Josephina went by his desk and looked anyway. And nodded when she noticed it was fine, thus moving onto the next...

After he was done with his soul number calculations he began with the second part.

She frowned when she reached the desk of the Slytherin prefect, shaking her head. "No. Your last name... the A ... on the chart, A is a 1, not a 7." That was actually the case on MANY number systems, not just the Pythagorean. So obviously, his soul urge number was wrong. But the life path number was fine though.

Sierra flipped through her texbook, curious as to what the number three would tell her.
Text Cut: Three
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.
Inspiring others?! Who really cared how others felt?! ...and dancing?! Wow. What a number. O_o
With a slight frown toward her textbook, Sierra moved on to her Soul Urge Number:
Soul Urge Number:
Sierra Hope Greingoth
I E A
9 + 5 + 1 = 15
1 + 5 = 6
O E
6 + 5 = 11
1 + 1 = 2
E I O
5 + 9 + 6 = 20
2 + 0 = 2
6 + 2 + 2 = 10
1 + 0 = 1
Text Cut: One
ONE (1): You want to lead more than anything and may want to control others too. You do not like being subordinate or taking orders. 1 Soul Numbers are often ambitious, independent, headstrong, and willful. You stay away fom teams, committees - and mediocrity. In matters of the heart and friendship, everything is great when the object of your affection/friendship lives up to your expectations. You expect that person to be as charming, clever, and independent as you are. You may seem cold or distant but it is only because you are protecting yourself.
Leading? Controlling? Now this was more like it! Pleased with those results, she grinned, looked up, and waiting for the lesson to move along.
Walking by Sierra's desk next, as Fina noticed the girl had stopped writing, she glanced over the girl's parchment and nodded when everything seemed to check out alright and then moved onto to the next...

She nodded in approval at the girl's life path number and then gazed around the classroom for any others who were finishing up. All good, it seemed.
Which meant it was time to move on from the core numbers and onto the rest of the lesson. "Now that we've had that good review of half of your core numbers, which as I mentioned before, they're important to your personal day numbers, because it is when these numbers match your personal day number that you'll feel a stronger connection to those days..."
"In order to find this personal Day number, you'll need to calculate your personal month number. Which in order to calculate that, you'll need to calculate your personal year number. For right now, I'd like you to review either independently or quietly with someone nearby about the calculations for these three numbers, which are discussed in chapters 18-20 of your text." She paused. "We'll reconvene in ten minutes."
ooc: I'll continue the lesson sometime tomorrow evening, hopefully about 7/8pm EST. In the meantime, if you'd like to actually attempt to calculate these numbers, assume the date in the RP is October 17, 2076. If Hadley made corrections to your soul urge/life path numbers, you're welcome to go back and fix them. Thank you <3.

Looking up from his calculations, Auggie saw that he had finished just in time as the professor seemed ready to introduce to them the real topic of today's lessons: Personal Day Numbers. So what was all the Core stuff, just a warm up?
Oh well.
Soooo they were working with partners? August listened closely to Hadley before turning in his chair and looking at Kurumi with a mischevious little grin. "Partners?" he asked quickly. He was sure she would agree but it was always better to ask.

Oh. She had?! Kurumi scanned her parchment and, sure enough, there it was, the extra nine. Kurumi giggled a bit and scratched it out on her parchment. "I suppose I was just trying to celebrate the use of it in the Pythagorean method," she replied. A bit of dry Arithmancy humor for you right there. "Thank you, professor."

Hearing Professor Hadley move the lesson along, Kurumi first opened up her textbook to the appropriate pages. First up was Personal Year Number and as Kurumi scanned the page with her finger for instructions, she hear slight screech of a chair being moved beside her and looked up from her book.

What...was that smile for? Kurumi blinked at August several times before registering what he was asking. "Of course," she nodded. It WAS a little weird not partnering up with Treyen for these sorts of things. But, well, ever since the polyjuice disaster, Treyen had taken to sitting elsewhere. At least he and her had fixed that issue. Still, it was sort of sad that she no longer needed to bring her sunglasses to glass to avoid the teeth glare.
Kurumi returned to her textbook to find the instructions. "Ah, here it is. To find your Personal Year Number you add your month of birth plus day of birth plus current calendar year." That didn't seem too bad, and now Kurumi would know when August's birthday was. Har har!

Missing the strangeness of the first glance Kurumi had given him August smiled gratefully as she agreed to partner-up with him. The Gryffindor scooted his desk to sit against the Prefect's and then he plopped his textbook back out in the center of his desk, listening as she read the definition of the Personal Year Number.
"Sounds easy enough..." August grabbed his quill and began to scratch out numbers onto his parchment. "I will go ahead and try mine first."
Birthday Month: November
Birthday day: 19
Current Year: 2076
NINE (9): The nine year is a time of reward for all the effort you've made in the past eight years, a conclusion of your nine-year cycle, so the seeds you planted in your 1 year are now harvested. As this year is the ending of a cycle, its energy is about letting things go and dreaming about the next nine years. It is time to revise, dream, and envision how you would like your life to proveed, to allow things to conclude, and to wait, because the beginning you sense coming is next year. Also, this is a good money year because your efforts of selfless giving are favored during this time. (But beware, the inverse is also true!) This is also a time for healing and dreaming on both a figurative and literal level. It is a tme to forgive and forget and bring closure on every level. Follow your intuition and seek to perfect what was begun eight years before.
August finished his calculation and then showed it to Kurumi.
