Josephina wasn't quite sure still how she felt about splitting up the years.... but there were a couple topics she wanted to go over with some of the graduating students and one thing she was sure about was the fact that the young weren't ready. Besides there were also some rudimentary topics she wanted to go over with the young ones. So it worked out well.

Taking a seat on her desk, she crossed her ankles and waited for the young ones to enter, tapping her fingers casually on the desk space beside her.

ooc: reminder, this lesson is for first through third years only~~, with the exception one third year~~. The lesson has begun. Pretend as if you've been there the whole time =)

Alyssa thought for a long moment before raising her hand."Professor the number 11 is supposed to be the most intuitive of all the Master Numbers. Does that mean that people with that number are smart?"

magikewe · 03-10-2012, 02:34 AM

Lily had no idea what the master number eleven meant. All she knew was that this class was confusing her, but that was why she was in the basic level. So instead the ravenclaw just sat quietly jotting down information here and there about what the others in the class talked about. Maybe if they got a question that she understood, she would raise her hand and answer it.

Poolicious · 03-10-2012, 03:48 AM

His answered was right? BLINKBLINKBLINK

Then Professor Hadley asked them the next question. 11? Messer thought about this question for a couple of minutes before he raised his hand "It is a double digit of the same number and eleven also is the first number which cannot be represented by a human using our fingers." They only have ten fingers after all.

CJP · 03-10-2012, 03:52 AM

I think it is a lucky number because the two ones togeather, like "11:11", and it might have to do with something being "First". Speaking of time, Olivia was a little bit confused. She must be tired or something because her head got cloudy when she began thinking about the time. What time of day was it anyway? Hmmmmmmm, she looked outside, it was day. But that diddnt really help.

laurange · 03-10-2012, 03:53 AM

Err... Elise honestly had no idea. "It's a double digit?" she asked, completely confused. She was completely awful at Arithmancy and she knew it. Why'd she even signed up for this class, anyway?!

Enigma · 03-10-2012, 05:55 AM

Ira somewhat knew the answer to the question. She had read up a bit during her summer holidays.. But she didn't remember the whole thing. Still she decided to answer as much as she could.

So she raised her hand up and answered, "Professor, 11 is a master number because the attributes of the number 1 are doubled." Wasn't this what was taught by Professor Hadley herself? Probably.. She continued, "That is, I mean the qualities of number 1 become doubly stronger."

Ira was pleased with her answer. Saying so, she sat down and waited for the lesson to resume.

FearlessLeader19 · 03-10-2012, 12:21 PM

Jory raised his hand. "Its a master number because it's a double digit of the same number and so the qualities of number 1 are doubled,'' he said.

Right then. "So let's start with the number 11. What can tell you tell me about this number? Just tell me one or two things, please."

Nerida thought about the anwser, she knew it was a double digit of the same number...Thinking back when she "took" her brothers textbook for Arithmancy, she remembered that the number was the master of illumination... She raised her hand and anwsered The number 11, is a double digit of the number 1 and is the master of illumination which would because its the number of light.

"Intuitive, yes," Fina nodded, but then blinked at her next question. "Intellectual being has nothing to do with the number eleven. Though it depends on what number the number 11 comes up for. But I will say that the number is more about insight ... without rational thought."

"This is true... yes..." Though it nothing to do with it being a Master Number.

"Except that the number 11 actually has the properties of the number two, only enhanced with more charisma and inspiration."

Hearing two students say something about the number one being doubled, Fina shook her head. "While it's a good guess that you would think that it would be the number one qualities, it actually possesses those characteristics of the number two, plus more. Because 11 when reduced, is 2."

"Yes, the number 11 does represent illumination." Fina agreed. "It has innate duality, which creates this inner conflict. It also has the potential to be turned to create fears. Though the number eleven has the potential for greatness and leadership, it also equally has the potential for self-destruction."

She paused, and drew a triangle on the board:

33

11_________22

"Before we continue on in discussing the other two numbers, what I've drawn here is what is known as the triangle of enlightenment," Fina explained. "If the number 11 represents vision, any ideas what the other two numbers represent?"

Lily listened as the professor started to explain about the master numbers. She still didn't quite understand what they meant but decided to take a guess as to what the others meant. So she raised her hand and then spoke. "Does one of the other numbers represent knowledge?" Lily wasn't sure if that was how these things worked but it was a good guess.

Taylor had no clue. Arithmancy was so confusing to her but she wrote the notes and waited to listern to her classmate's answers and for the teacher's explanation.

She smiled and wrote down the things that the professor had told her about the number 11.
She drew the triangle on her parchement including the numbers and wrote triangle of enlightenment to the side.
She thought for a moment before raising her hand and asked Does the number 33 represent knowledge or being creative? And does the number 22 mean great person/ humanitarian? She had no clue what they meant, but she gave it her best guess. She then wrote 11, 22, 33 under the triangle and put by 11: represents vision. Looking at the numbers she asked Is 33 the greatest master number, as it is at the top of the triangle of enlightenment?

FireboltAvis88 · 03-10-2012, 08:41 PM

Alyssa quickly wrote down what the Master Number 11 represented. She knew that the other two Master Numbers were 22 and 33. She slightly remembered what they represented so raised her and gave her answer."Professor, the Master number 22. It is the most powerful of numbers and is known as the Master Builder because it can turn one's ambitions into reality. The Master Number 33 is supposed to be the most influential of numbers and is known as the Master Teacher. Do they call it that because that number is more interested in finding out stuff and the truth behind it first before passing on that knowledge?"

TakemetotheBurrow · 03-10-2012, 11:04 PM

Ella copied down the notes and then did her best to try and think about what the other two numbers could represent. If the number 11 represented vision then maybe the other two represented....Ella had no idea. "Do they represent...other erm...senses maybe?" Ella asked, knowing this was probably a long shot.

Enigma · 03-11-2012, 02:06 AM

Yeah, Professor's explanation made more sense than hers. Right.. 11 could be reduced to 2, so it would be having qualities of 2.. So lest she forgot about it, she wrote it down in her parchment.

Triangle of enlightenment? Okay, so she didn't know that there was a name to it. So, 11 represented vision. But why was 33 written on the tip of the triangle and 11 and 22 were joined by a dash? Could that mean that 11 and 22 combined result would be 33? Maybe she could answer this.

Ira raised her hand up and answered, "Professor, according to the way you have written it mean that 33 is the result of the attributes of 11 and 22?" Yeah, the way she saw it, it most definitely could.

Random Gal · 03-11-2012, 06:39 AM

Nicki had no clue so she noted it all down

FearlessLeader19 · 03-11-2012, 10:45 AM

Jory raised his hand yet again. "Twenty two represents dreams coming through while thirty three represents influence,'' he said. "I think,'' he added silently.

Poolicious · 03-11-2012, 03:58 PM

When Professor Hadley draw the drew triangle on the board, Messer's eyes never left the board. He had no idea what the other two numbers represent but he has a question. The young badger raised his hand. "Umm..Professor, why number 33 was on top? Why not number 22?" Or number 11? Why must 33?

laurange · 03-11-2012, 04:20 PM

Raising her hand, Elise cringed as her answer flew through her brain. It was true. She was absolutely awful at Arithmancy. "Hearing and Smell?" she asked, confused. Right, there was no was that she was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Lowering her hand, she picked up her quill and began writing the correct answers into her notebook. She was going to have to study for this final. A lot.

FireboltAvis88 · 03-11-2012, 07:50 PM

Alyssa looked at the way the Professor had written down the Master Numbers and listened as her fellow classmates gave their answers. She knew that she had already given gets but wanted to ask a question of her own. So she raised her hand. "Professor I read somewhere that the Master Number 33 is also known as the most influential number. The way you wrote it in the board, I was wondering does it mean that if we add that number together with other two master numbers 11 and 22, 33 makes those numbers more powerful?"

CJP · 03-11-2012, 10:57 PM

So eleven did mean, having double power. Olivia had to figure out the next question, she did not know the answer off the top of her head. So, if 11, is the vision..."Could 22, be something to do with the procedure, and then 33 the result?" She must have been way out of the park on this one.

Dead_As_You · 03-12-2012, 12:02 AM

She wrote down the meaning of the group number, and the meaning of the master number. Sarassi listened to the Professor tell her about the trianle of enlightenment. The number 11 represented vision. She raised her hand and said Does 22 represnt building and does 33 represents teaching?

Hey Ju · 03-12-2012, 12:51 AM

Those were the kind of questions Sophie didn't even know what to guess, so she decided to stay quiet as the others replied. She placed her hands on her desk and kicked her legs as she looked around, watching her classmates as they spoke.

affy7ann · 03-12-2012, 04:28 AM

Tayla quickly browsed her notes and books and raised her hand. "Professor, 22 is the most powerful number and is called the Master Builder. It can turn the biggest dreams to reality and is the most successful of all numbers. 33, on the other hand, is called the Master Teacher. It is the most influential of numbers." Tayla paused then continued. "In the triangle, 22 combines vision and action, and 33 gives guidance to the world."

Knowledge? Hmm. Good guess and it sort of did, but not? "Indirectly, yes." Fina settled on, not giving it away just yet.

Looking at the numbers she asked Is 33 the greatest master number, as it is at the top of the triangle of enlightenment?

"Number 22 doe typically refer to that, yes... the humanitarian number," Fina paused, thinking about it some more. It wasn't really in reference to the Triangle, but it sort of related. "Number 33 may be one of the greatest, if nothing else because it is demanding and rare. Actually, some numerologists will argue that the number 33 is only really important to look at when it is found among one of the core numbers."

"That's what the other two numbers mean not what they represent," Fina clarified. There was a fine line between what she was asking, of course.

Other senses? Well it was a good guess, Fina wasn't going to deny it. "Not really.." Fina shook her head.

Tilting her head at the Lioness she scratched at the back of her head a moment, thinking. "Yes. In some sense, yes, the number 33 combines the attributes of the other two numbers and brings their potential to another level." Hence the triangle, now that she thought of it.

"Sort of. But again, that's more what the numbers mean." Fina nodded. Meaning and representing were different. Sort of.

"Because ..." Fina quipped. "As Miss Wilson mentioned, number 33 combines the attributes of 22 and 11. And brings those attributes to a new level."

Ah, another one suggesting senses. "Not quite," Fina said, shaking her head. Though it wasn't a bad guess for novice arithmancy students.

And there Miss Potter was speaking again. And sort of suggested the same thing that Ira had mentioned moments before. She nodded as she did before. "The number 33 does indeed bring the attributes of the other two master numbers to a whole new level..." She pointed out on the board the 33 being above the 22 and 11.

"In some sense... Yes, but no," Fina said thoughtfully. It kind of worked. And was definitely a different way of looking at the numbers.

"That's what the numbers mean, not what they represent." Fina clarified, yet again. But realized that sort of made it more confusing. Ah well, in due time, they'd understand.

Tayla started off by giving the meanings of the numbers and Fina was about to quip off her typical line in the last five minutes, when the girl went on and added exactly what she was looking for. AHA! At least someone read about the Triangle of Enlightenment!

"Precisely what I was looking for! In reference to the triangle, the number 22 combines vision and action, whereas the number 33 will give guidance to the world!" Fina exclaimed, beaming at the Gryffindor.

"Which like like so many of you mentioned about the master teacher bit for 33, the number representing guidance to the world sort of goes hand-in-hand with being a teacher, no?" She thought so, anyway.
"Anyway, moving away from master numbers for just a few moments, I'd like to spend a few moments examining our Zodiac Signs."
