No strange smells or instructions meet you this time as you step into the classroom, but the professor will (if you're lucky). Despite your instructor's strongest Hot Air Charms, the temperature in the room is only slightly less biting than the rest of the castle. Appropriately, Lolita is wearing fashionable winter gear purchased from London as a birthday present for herself. With no further instructions, it is only reasonable to assume that she wishes you to come in and take a seat.

Jasmine heard the Professor's voice and realized that class was starting. She snapped out of her daze sort of and tried to focus on what La Profesora was saying. What did they learn during the last class? Jasmine raised her hand because that question she could answer.
"We learned that Arithmancy originated in ancient Greece and it was started by the Pythagoreans a bunch of chauvinistic number geeks who followed Pythagorus. They were very into whole numbers."

Lux smiled weakly at the Professor's greeting and was a little surprised to see Dylan join her. Awww, he was so sweet and she was glad that she had both him and Adi right now. But the class had started, so sadly they couldn't talk. She mouthed to him and Adi that they could talk about it after class and gave him a thankful smile. She could tell him and Adi more very soon, but she really didn't know what exactly was happening; if only there were more details!
Raising her hand, she answered the question. "We learned about Pythagoreans, who were Greek and really liked numbers. They used the numbers to predict the future." Or something. She really wasn't sure.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
At least Lux was smiling. Even though it looked...forced? Aww she didn't know? No matter. He'd stay here and keep her company until class was over. And like she signaled to him, they'd talk after class. Adi smiled back at her as Professor Domingo officially started the class.
Hand in the air, the Hufflepuff said, "We learnt about the Pythagoreans who used numbers to predict things about themselves and the future.''

Sophie had just taken her seat a mere seconds before the door was closed and the lesson was officially started. WHEW. That was close. Hiiii, Professor! That was a mental hello, since doing so now would be while the woman was talking. A summary of the last lesson? Sophie...couldn't remember what the lesson right before this class this very morning had been about. The cold had destroyed her brain cells. Nooo, not really. She just felt like they had.
She raised her hand. "We learned about masculine and feminine numbers, what they mean, and what they mean when we put them together. We can learn information about things like marriage and children that way," she said. Whooaaaa. Those two topics seemed way too far away for a fourteen-year-old like Sophie.

It’s just too cold right now to even answer her question. Yes, his brain was on the verge of freezing. Ethan even donned his snowboarding gear for class today, because, COLD. The Slytherin sniffed and tried his best to recall their previous discussion.
All he could think about was the veggie kebab…and the analysis they did with the numbers. MERLIN.
Ethan opened his mouth to answer, but his classmates already mentioned his answers. So instead, he kept his mouth shut, opened his notebook, and prepped for new note-worthy Arithmancy stuff.

Lex was slumped over in her seat waiting for the lesson to begin when she spotted Grayson and the smile he gave her. This being Whitlock and all she couldn't just not return the smile no matter how annoyed she was at the current situation so she forced it and it looked genuine too if you were most people. Really though, tunneling plans, she was willing to head them if people were willing to dig with her.
The shout of the Professor drew her attention back from the warm but dark recesses that were the back of her overly active mind. Lex blinked, her eyes coming back into focus.
In truth, there was a lot that could be said about what was learned last class and by the sounds of it most was already covered. Most. There was still something being left out and the woman had asked so who was she to not answer. "Kabobs don't actually have anything to do with Arithmancy and Pythag, they're just kind gestures at most and we shouldn't expect them to aid much in our studies."
You know, in case there was a kid or two that thought food would help them pass their Arithmancy OWL. They were totally welcome.

Why Thank You, Flamingo. He will certainly take a seat and try his hardest to pay attention. Nigel would probably get the summary wrong because all he remembered of last class is the name tags and the togas. Especially the nicknames she gave him and Tag. Mr. Hair and Mr. Cheeks. That will never get old.
Oh...Right.
It was the thing Agatha was giving him looks over. The male and female numbers. Such a weird thing and not something Nigel wants to have a discussion on. Ever again. Well there was one thing he learned last class. Partnering with younger Slytherins was more work than he thought.

Staying warm? Uh huh! Look at his Slytherin jumper. Warm enough for him to not freeze himself entirely. AND it was green. Perfect!
'I see none of you turned into an icicle, which is something.'
SNORT. It was just funny, okay? Slightly funny. He still missed going outside and whatnot and he did think that being secluded was going to drive him insane. OR, drive some of the other people insane. Like Prefect Lex. He saw that smile, by the way. Thank you. No winking because it didn't look like she'd be happy to receive one right now. Not according to this Slytherin.
What did he remember from last lesson? Lots. Like the fact that there were kebabs. Yummy, those were. And as the answers came pouring in, Grayson remembered a little bit more of what happened in the previous lesson and something he had put in his homework. So, after gathering up an answer, the boy raised his hand in the air, "Sometimes you had to add or multiply two or more numbers together to get a higher number and whichever path you took could determine the meaning of the number."
Agatha had NO idea how on EARTH she had ended up sitting next to crazy Nigel again. She couldn't believe it! Maybe it was something odd about this subject that made them end up sitting on the same spot they sat the previous lesson? ....How weird.
The young Slytherin had a relatively confused look on her face once professor Domingo started speaking and asked them about last lesson. She still didn't quite know anythign about Arithmancy, to be fair, and the things she could remember were already mentioned. Like boy and girls numbers and their strange meanings. She put her hand up anyway. "When you mix numbers together... multiply or add them, you get new meanings and numbers." Wait, Sophie Newell had already mentioned something like that. Ugh, that girl. Agatha narrowed her eyes at her housemate but quickly flipped her hair as she turned to the teacher again. She was going to pay attention in class this time. Hmph.

Dylan turned when the professor began speaking. Aww darn, looks like class was starting. Turning back to Lux, he gave her a nod and an assuring smile. He then found himself an empty seat in front of her and Adi next to a Slytherin boy (Ethan) and quickly got his things out for the class as quietly as he could so he wouldn't disturb anyone nearby. He then looked up towards the professor right as she asked them a question. The third year waited his turn, then rose his hand. "We learned about what arithmancy was, and what all the numbers and their meanings were." he answered.

Her brain had totally frozen over, it couldn't work in these conditions. "Um we learned what Arithmancy was and what it did. And what all the numbers meanings were.
"True," was all the professor said in response. Such a generic answer could have been given for almost literally any Arithmancy lesson all year long. Lolita moved on.

Uh.... Maybe the cold had frozen his brain? Because he couldn't remember too much from the lesson. Except for the fact that... "The odd numbers were male and evens were girl numbers." Yeah! But that's all he had...
Ah, something a bit more specific. "Correct." Though not exactly expansive.

He wracked his brains, searching for something that he could actually raise his hand and tell the class. But what had he learnt about the subject? Uhhh... Simon opened his notebook and flipped through the pages of scrap work until he found the section on Vibratory Influences.
SPOILER!!: notes from last class
Vibratory Influences
Arithmancy helps us understand ourselves better. ONE: generator of all numbers, not actually considered a number; characterized reason TWO: first female number; characterized opinion and division THREE: first male number, combination via addition of 1 (unity) and 2 (division); characterized harmony FOUR: second female number, represented space and matter; characterized by justice and order FIVE: union of first male and female numbers; characterized by love and marriage SIX: female; characterized by creation, originality, or beginnings SEVEN: male; characterized by conflict or individuality EIGHT: female; characterized by compromise, cooperation, or balance NINE: male; characterized by peace, stability, or enlightenment TEN: unites 1, 2, 3, and 4, represents the idea of everything; characterized by the cosmos
His eyes widened when he reread about how Arithmancy makes people understand themselves better. So he raised his hand and added that to the class, "We learnt that numbers have different meanings. Those meanings can help us understand ourselves better."
"Also correct, though we have yet to apply the meaning of numbers directly to ourselves." That did not make the answer wrong, it just meant they hadn't gotten that far.

No answers.
So, tapping her quill on her chin, and trying her best not to demonstrate how grumpy she was, the Slytherin prepared herself to take notes. In all honesty, she had gotten lost halfway through the last lesson picking bits here and there.
Moving on, Lolita looked expectantly at the next student, a Slytherin. She looked as if she'd just been force-fed Polyjuice Potion or U-No-Poo. Unfortunate for her, entertaining for us. Alas.

You look fancy." he said with a cheerful smile as he noticed her fashionable outfit. He turned to look for a seat when he noticed something not right.
There sat Lux. And she didn't look like her usual self.
In fact, she looked the complete opposite. Something must have been truly bugging her. And Dylan didn't like the thought of that. The third year frowned, and made his way over to her. He knelt down in front of her table so that they were eye level. "Hey," he said to her, looking at her with concern. "Everything okay?" he asked.
Noticing Adi take a seat beside her, Dylan gave him a nod of greeting. "Hey, Adi." he said with a small smile.
Before she could think of any other interesting explanations for the girl's behavior, she was distracted by movement and then chatter. She twirled on the spot to face the instigator of the distraction. "Young man, tardiness to class will not be tolerated. Nor will unnecessary chatter, noble as your intentions may be." Complimenting her outfit? Extremely noble. Concern for a friend? A wishy-washy Hufflepuff trait in this case. "Three points from Hufflepuff."
OOC: Please pretend as if your character has been here the whole time once the lesson has officially started.

Maybe she HAD turned into an icicle, because she could barely think about what she had learned last lesson. Not that it was unusual. Leah could not think properly in normal weather too. And her memory was back! The second year raised her hand and said, "You can predict the future using numbers." And sneezed uncontrollably afterwards. She shouldn't have opened her mouth. The girl rubbed her nose and muttered, "Bless me."
"Sí, seńorita." Another reasonably small part of their discussion. Did no one remember Pythagoras?

Angel wished she could ask Lux what to matter was, but since the lesson was starting she couldn't, though there was a special hug with Lux's name on when she next saw her friend, as of now though she was going to sit next to Ben, who seemed to be as lost as to why he came as she was.
Angel raised her hand. "Professor we learnt that some numbers are more than just numbers, we learnt that these numbers have words behind them and that if you add them together you get different meanings." Angel had also learnt a few more things, but she wouldn't add those on.
Though Lolita did not much care for the girl's grammar - surely she should have clarified that the numbers were added together, not the words - she was essentially correct. "Yes, you have the general principle, Miss Valentine." This was slightly shocking, given that the Latina had assumed the girl to not have heard anything in the entire lesson.

She was.. what was the phrase.. hog-backing off her classmate? It was something like that, if she remembered Fina's phrase correctly. "Indeed, you have added a more personal viewpoint. Thank you," she smirked.

Another person who seemed fixed on the Pythagoreans. Apparently people wanted to forget the actual work part of their learning. "Sí," she said simply. At least the girl was smart enough not to respond to her late-arriving classmate.

Another bare bones summary. Hopefully the Hufflepuff remembered more than he was letting on. "Correct." She tried to turn the discussion a bit. "What about the numbers, estudiantes. What did we do with them and why?"

What a charming young lady she wasn't, the Gryffindor Prefect. "You are certainly entitled to that opinion, but I was looking more about Arithmancy and less about food." As should have been immediately obvious. However, she had technically answered the question.

Sigh. Again, not really adding anything to the conversation. "Yes." She wasn't likely to give him much more than that after he had interrupted her class.
--------------------------------------
The students had hit most of the important points, so she decided that a highlight of the important points was not needed. "So Pythagoras and his followers were the pioneers of Arithmancy. As with most initial foundations, their work was expanded upon, revised, or completely discarded as more discoveries were made. The notion of gender being associated with number has faded, as Miss Guidry will no doubt approve of." She inclined her head towards the girl. "But the meanings of the numbers themselves have also gone through refinements. If you will turn to page four in your textbook you will find the currently accepted meanings. Those who neglected to bring their textbooks today - most unwisely, might I add - may share with a neighbor."
She let them find the page, knowing that if she attempted to move on whilst they looked she would not be heard. After an appropriate pause, she continued. "I would like you to compare the meanings of the numbers 1 through 9 from your textbook with the vibratory influences we decided upon at the end of the last lesson. Take a few minutes to discuss and jot down notes. I will walk around and assist if needed." Then she rolled her eyes. "Though I expect you all to bring your notes to class, I am aware that some of you deem this a trivial idea and as such will provide you with the meanings on the board momentarily. You may begin."
She waved her wand and the list of meanings appeared on the board.
Text Cut: The Board
Vibratory Influences
ONE: generator of all numbers, not actually considered a number; characterized reason
TWO: first female number; characterized opinion and division
THREE: first male number, combination via addition of 1 (unity) and 2 (division); characterized harmony
FOUR: second female number, represented space and matter; characterized by justice and order
FIVE: union of first male and female numbers; characterized by love and marriage
SIX: female; characterized by creation, originality, or beginnings
SEVEN: male; characterized by conflict or individuality
EIGHT: female; characterized by compromise, cooperation, or balance
NINE: male; characterized by peace, stability, or enlightenment
TEN: unites 1, 2, 3, and 4, represents the idea of everything; characterized by the cosmos
OOC: You may work with a partner or not, it all depends on what your character prefers. You will have 24-36 hours to complete this first activity.
It was like she knew he was in the class and forgot to bring anything to class. He usually throws out his notes out after the class and never brings his textbooks. Copying off Mo's notes at the end of the year and remembering as much as he can has worked out well so far and why change success.
So...now he will have to see if Agatha had brought her book. He assumed so since she seemed to be one of those trying to be the best at everything she does. Nigel turned to Agatha and asked the question "You brought your textbook to class right?" Once that was taken care of both of them could get to the class activity with the notes, textbook, and whatever it was they were suppose to do.

The lesson had only just began and it was already starting to make Lux's head hurt. Sighing, she opened her textbook to the right page. It was group work, and Bay wasn't here to be her partner. She wished he was; she missed him and wanted him to be okay.
Sadly she looked at her notes that she had written down last lesson. So she had to compare the numbers from the textbook to the numbers from her notes? Maybe that wouldn't be too hard.

Marigold looked around half-heartedly before opening up her textbook. She was sure that there would be some differences, and sure enough, the first difference was on the number '0.' She leaned over to Hazel's desk and tapped on it. "So, the difference between the two 'zeros' is that the Vibratory zero means reason and the other zero is nothing?" She wasn't that good at this subject. Like, at all.

Hazel opened her textbook to the appropriate page. So they were looking for differences, ay? "Yeh, and it seems like it's the same thing with 9. One of the 9s is about endings and turning into something else, but the other is more like stability."Those are opposites, right? she caught herself asking. They seemed like opposites: endings, stability. She looked over at Marigold to see what she'd say about it.

Once Lolita had put the notes from the previous class on the board, she began to walk amongst the students. Unsurprisingly, Prefect Hair had failed to bring anything from the previous lesson to class. Too bad, she had half been hoping he would wear that toga today.
What would the two young Hufflepuffs have for her? "Ah Miss McAlistor, you need only compare the digits one through nine, not zero." And as for Miss Rawthorne's assessment, "But you are quite right that stability counters endings, which are generally indicative of change."
Angel was going to try her hardest to do the work, she really wanted to show the Professor that she didn't mean anything bad the last lesson, just that she had been really lost with it all.
Angel hoped that she could figure this out because it seemed like it would be bad if she couldn't, but at least today she would give it a try. She took out her quill and notebook and then started to work on the thing.
SPOILER!!: Angel's work
One: The difference between one is that the Vibratory Influences isn't classified as a number, whilst the Meaning of the number is actually classified as the beginning.
Two: The difference between two is that the Vibratory Influences characterizes opinion and division whilst the meaning of the number characterizes harmony and unity
Three: Whilst the meaning of two characterizes harmony, it is the Vibratory Influences number three that characterizes harmony. Whilst the meaning number three represents playfulness and imagination.
Four: The Vibratory Influences represents space and matter. Whilst the meaning of the number has changed significantly and now represents hard work and buildings. Which is a lot different to space and matter.
Five: Whilst the Vibratory Influences number is characterized by love and marriage. The meaning of the number is versatile and progressive thinker.
Six: The Vibratory Influences number is the beginning but the meaning of the number balanced and family focuses. This means that the number has changed a lot, the Vibratory Influence is at the beginning of it's life but the meaning is already fully balanced.
Seven: The Meaning of the number you are investigative and wise but in the Vibratory Influences Number you are at conflict with yourself.
Eight: The difference between the two 8 is that in the meaning of the number you are an Authority figure whilst in the Vibratory Influences number you are not.
Nine: The Vibratory Influence number is characterized by Peace and stability. The meaning of the number is the ending and global awareness.
Angel was really confused about the work, she didn't know if she was doing it right, or if she had gone wrong somewhere but at least she had tried which was an improvement on the last time.
"Professor, am I doing it right?" Angel raised her hand and hoped that the Professor had seen her.

Whoops, AJ had missed the first question, but she was totally paying attention. Her mind must have wandered away for a moment. Which really wasn't a good idea in this class since it didn't make much sense to her at all. The first year listened to all of the answers that were given and nodded her head in agreement.
Lucky thing she not only had her textbook, but she had her notes from the last lesson also. Comparing what she had with the board, she was pleased to see that she wasn't that far off.
Now.. she needed to get busy, but where to start? She wondered for a moment if she should work by herself or with a partner?
Lucy took her quill and parchement and started her work:
Quote:
ONE:in the Quick reference Guide is classified as the Emptiness while the Vibratory One means the beginning; the number that means the beginning in the Quick reference Guide is NUMBER SIX!
TWO: this number in the Quick reference guide has a meaning completely opposite to the Vibratory two..
TREE: this number means imagination in the Guide and harmony following the vibratory influences...but the imagination can bring armony to the ours lives
FOUR: space and matter in the Vibratory influence, while this number means building and hard work in the guide...but the space is necessary to buildings..
FIVE:this number means change and transition in the GUide while it means marriage in the Vibratory inflence..but the marriage is a important change..
SIX: this number means originality and creation in the Vibratory Influence while it means stability and balance in the Guide..these are two very different meanings..
SEVEN:conflict and individuality in the vibratory influence while it means wisdom and analysis in the guide..but there is no wisdon without a conflict...
EIGHT:autority and balance are two very different meanings..Lucy was confused..
NINE:tolerance on the one side and peace on the other side..but tolerance and peace must be mutually agreed..
Lucy thought that the Guide and the Vibratory Influence had many things in common..

Jasmine was surprised when Professor Domingo referenced her thoughts on the Pythagoreans. Well alright for Girl Power! Now it was time to put her thinking cap on because the Professor had thrown out the first challenge. Jasmine was concerned because she did not fully grasp the Vibratory Influences so comparing them to the currently accepted number definitions would be......interesting.
Jasmine took out her notes from the last class and opened her book to the assigned page. Guess she'd be working alone because her partner in crime wasn't there to work with her. Aaaaaand she was sad again or still. (Insert depressed sigh here).
SPOILER!!: Jasmine's notes
One: The Vibratory Influences(VI) consider one the generator of all numbers, but then state that is is not actually a number. Confusing. The currently accepted meaning (CAM) makes more sense to me. One represents a beginning (whereas six represents a beginning in VI). One represents the first, the original.....innovation. Also one is a single, solo, alone. If it represents a person and they were alone, they would tend to be independent.
Two: The male/female thing definitely did not make sense to me. The VI and CAM are different in that way as there is no male/female designation currently. Thank goodness! I did not understand the opinion/ division explanation either. Was that related to the perception of females during that time period? Once again the CAM made more sense to me. Two=a pair. Relationships involve two people and collaboration involves at least two people. With the CAM, two is also related to harmony and unity. With the VI, unity is related to the number one. Harmony is related to number three. I'm not sure about the human magic reference for number two.
Whew. Jasmine had gotten a little long winded with her notes. She'd have to be a little more concise with her next seven comparisons or she would not finish before class was over. Looking down at her book, she moved on to number three.

So all they had to do was a comparison of the two? Adi thought he could manage that solo. He retrieved his textbook along with his notes from the last class from his back and set to work.
SPOILER!!: Adi's Notes
1. Does not really have a VI as number is just a generator. Meaning: independence, innovation and leadership.
2. VI: Opinion and Division. Meaning: harmony, unity, collaboration.
3. VI: harmony. Meaning: imagination, playfulness, complex thought.
4. VI: Justice and Order. Meaning: hard work, endurance, organization.
5. VI: love & marriage. Meaning: change, freedom & versatility.
6. VI: Creativity, Originality & beginnings. Meaning: Balance, Nurturing and family focus.
7. VI: Conflict or Individuality. Meaning: Research, wisdom, investigative.
8. VI: Compromise, cooperation, Balance. Meaning: Authority, material wealth, success.
9. VI: Peace, stability, enlightenment. Meaning: Endings, tolerance, cosmic.
Conclusion: The VI and Meanings are not very much related.
Now, where was the Professor? Adi needed to know if he had done this right.

Angel hoped that she could figure this out because it seemed like it would be bad if she couldn't, but at least today she would give it a try. She took out her quill and notebook and then started to work on the thing.
SPOILER!!: Angel's work
One: The difference between one is that the Vibratory Influences isn't classified as a number, whilst the Meaning of the number is actually classified as the beginning.
Two: The difference between two is that the Vibratory Influences characterizes opinion and division whilst the meaning of the number characterizes harmony and unity
Three: Whilst the meaning of two characterizes harmony, it is the Vibratory Influences number three that characterizes harmony. Whilst the meaning number three represents playfulness and imagination.
Four: The Vibratory Influences represents space and matter. Whilst the meaning of the number has changed significantly and now represents hard work and buildings. Which is a lot different to space and matter.
Five: Whilst the Vibratory Influences number is characterized by love and marriage. The meaning of the number is versatile and progressive thinker.
Six: The Vibratory Influences number is the beginning but the meaning of the number balanced and family focuses. This means that the number has changed a lot, the Vibratory Influence is at the beginning of it's life but the meaning is already fully balanced.
Seven: The Meaning of the number you are investigative and wise but in the Vibratory Influences Number you are at conflict with yourself.
Eight: The difference between the two 8 is that in the meaning of the number you are an Authority figure whilst in the Vibratory Influences number you are not.
Nine: The Vibratory Influence number is characterized by Peace and stability. The meaning of the number is the ending and global awareness.

"Professor, am I doing it right?" Angel raised her hand and hoped that the Professor had seen her.
Ah, a plea for help. Lolita turned and was surprised to see it coming from none other than the girl who didn't respect Arithmancy. Was it possible that she had changed her attitude?
Walking over to the Gryffindor, Lolita scanned her parchment and was mildly impressed. Other than her obvious fascination with the word 'whilst' the work was solid and insightful. However, she was not one to gush encouragement. "Passable," was all she said. Perhaps it would motivate the girl to keep trying, or even to make the two meanings work together.

Next up was Miss Petersfield. It didn't take long before it was obvious she had put thought into her work. "Insightful, Miss Petersfield. You have managed to make most of them work together quite nicely." The instructor nodded her approval.

Continuing to patrol the room, she eventually came to Jasmine. She already had quite a lot written down, but it appeared that she had only done a few numbers. "I applaud you for your in depth analysis. However, I don't think you'll have time to finish if you do that for every number. Feel free to spend less time on each if you'd like." It was not a criticism, merely a suggestion.

Now, where was the Professor? Adi needed to know if he had done this right.
Soon she came to a Hufflepuff and looked over his work. "Now that you have listed their meanings next to each other, try to see if you can reconcile the two. Miss Petersfield can help you if you need an example."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Reconcile? Did the Professor mean link the VI & meanings? To be sure, Adi did a quick peek at Lucy's work. Ah, yes. That was indeed what Domingo had meant. He got to work once more.
SPOILER!!: More of Adi's notes
1. Can probably generate leadership skills.
2. Opinions can divide people but it can also be used to solve a lot of conflict to bring about unity.
3. Positive complex thinking and imagination can be used to bring about harmony.
4. Working hard and enduring obstacles can come in the form of Justice and order.
5. Bringing change into one's life and willing to give up one's individual freedom/ willing to share it can come in the form of love and marriage.
6. Creativity and originality leads to a balanced life and opens up the opportunity to better one's self and family life.
7. Using one's wisdom with the aid of investigation and research, one can resolve any conflict.
8. If one is willing to compromise and cooperate, there will be rewards of authority, material wealth and success.
9. Ending conflict or having high tolerance will eventually lead to peace and stability.
Hmmm...now that he had linked the VI and meanings, it was much clearer to Adi that the two did indeed relate a lot.

The professor agreed with Jasmine's thought to keep things brief so she would make it short and sweet from now on. Looking back and forth between her book and her notes, she tried to come up with some concise comparisons.
SPOILER!!: Jasmine's answers Part 2
Three: Imagination, creative expression etc. vs, harmony. I don't see a great deal in common between the two unless the creative expression brings about inner harmony (as opposed to harmony between people).
Four: Building, hard work, practicality, organization vs. justice and order. Practicality and organization could be related to justice and order. The former may lead to the latter.
Five: Change, transition, freedom vs. love and marriage. These two seem to be seem to be opposites. Changing and being alone compared to joining and coming together.
Six: Family focus, nurturing, stability, responsibility vs. creation, beginnings. These two seem to be related in thought. After love and marriage comes the creation of a family. With family comes responsibility, stability and nurturing.
Seven: Wisdom, spiritual focus, analysis and research vs. conflict, individuality. At first I thought that these were unrelated, but maybe if you had/did all of those things you could avoid conflict.
Eight: Authority, finances, success, material wealth vs. compromise, cooperation, balance. Maybe you have to compromise and find balance to have success. You definitely should if you are in a position of authority, otherwise, you may become a dictator.
Nine: Tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic teaching, global awareness vs. peace stability, enlightenment. All of those CAM's can help lead one to peace stability and enlightenment. One may need to undergo a metamorphosis to reach the place of peace and enlightenment.
Jasmine's head felt it was about to explode from analyzing the number meanings. As usual, she wasn't sure whether or not she was anywhere near being on target. She just hoped that some of what she wrote made sense. Putting down her quill, she rubbed her temples and waited for further instructions.

And her memory was back! The second year raised her hand and said, "You can predict the future using numbers." And sneezed uncontrollably afterwards. She shouldn't have opened her mouth. The girl rubbed her nose and muttered, "Bless me."
