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.
Ooh, so she got them right! She smiled proudly. Hazel stood up and wrapped her arms around her body. She felt it get a bit warmer, but it was still colder than she liked it. The Hufflepuff walked around the class and read the notes off the board again.
Maybe the coldness would help her remember this, so whenever she had to do the reduction method she would remember shivering. she shoved her hands into her pockets. Somehow she felt like it was colder walking around, but she didn't sit down. Not yet, at least.

Lolita clapped her hands. "¡Vamos! Ready to move on, estudiantes." She gave them all several seconds to get back to their seats. "We have time for one more short thing."
Yet again the board erased itself and the chalk scribbled at the coaxing of the professor's wand.

"Three dates have appeared on the board. Your task is to first convert them each to all numbers and reduce, then look up their meanings in the textbook, and finally tell me how that meaning fits each important time in Wizarding history."
Looking over the students, she saw that the majority of them were still shivering. Productivity would be hard to come by for the last task. Something had to be done. After several complicated wand movements, a strange popping noise announced the arrival of aid. "Since it is so frigid, I conjured mugs and hot cocoa up here in front. Help yourselves while you work." And don't ever say Lolita Carmen Inocencia Domingo never did anything nice for children.

Numbersssssss were going to be the death of Sophie! She stared at the board at the new set of numbers. She felt like face-planting on her desktop, but she was sitting by Grayson, and face-planting just didn't look cool in front of your crush. So she mental face-plant, sighed softly, then got to writing.
"I added up the numbers," she said to Grayson, passing him the parchment. Grinning, she glanced up to the front of the room where the hot cocoa was. "Now I could really use a mug of that hot cocoa." HINT, Grayson! This is your TEST. Heh.

Then they were given a new set of numbers! Simon carefully wrote them down as he listened to Professor Domingo explain that they would first solve them using the Reduction method and then they would look up the meanings of the numbers in the textbook.
Alright. First he was going to use the reduction method. He was baffled by the date ones but he gave his best effort in trying to solve them.

The Professor called for everyone's attention and announced the final task for the class. Jasmine looked at the dates written on the board and copied them into her notebook. It was time to do a little reduction and she had to make sure that she was completely focused this time. Concentrating as hard as she could, Jasmine got to work.
SPOILER!!: Jasmine's answers
1945: 1+9+4+5=19-->1+9=10-->1+0=1
31 July 1980: 3+1+7+1+9+8+0=29-->2+9=11
24 June 1995: 2+4+6+1+9+9+5=36-->3+6=9
After Jasmine reduced he numbers. She looked in her text book for the meaning of each of the numbers. Taking her quill, she jotted down the number meanings in her notebook.
SPOILER!!: Number meanings
1=Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
11= Master of illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light, one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth.
9=Endings, tolerance, metamorphosis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short -lived, immediacy.
Now all Jasmine had to do was connect the dots. She would find the significance of the dates and compare that with the number meanings. Maybe a cup of hot chocolate would help her maintain her focus for the final part of the task. Well it definitely wouldn't hurt.

Simon started to read the definitions of the numbers; however, his eyes widened when he realized that he had made a mistake. Oh how silly of him! He quickly fixed it and then went back to his work.
11:Master of illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light, one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth.
9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphosis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short -lived, immediacy.
Now with the definitions, he had to start beginning about how this all fit into Wizarding history. He scratched his head as he tried to think of something. When nothing came to mind, he decided to take a break to go grab a delicious mug of hot cocoa in the front of the classroom. Picking up a mug, he grinned. "Thanks Professor!" he said with a grin. Arithmancy class was getting a lot better already.
He made his way back to his text and tried to think about what these numbers meant in and how that definition was applied to an important time in Wizarding history.

Ethan did a little bit of stretching on his seat, and decided to remain focused. He was sure he’ll get distracted if he stood up and walked around the classroom. Besides…if he gets to solve the next problem faster, then maybe he’ll get to go back to their dorms. Warm dorms. Oh and look! Next problem! Bring it on!
Ethan got a parchment, wrote down the problem, and started to compute. One by one, he wrote down the meaning for each number, and explained what he thinks about it.
SPOILER!!: Ethan’s Parchment
1) 1945 = 19 = 10 =1
1: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
~1945 was when Tom Riddle graduated. Graduation meant new beginnings and independence.
2) 3171980 = 29 = 11
11: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth
~July 31, 1980 is the birth date of Harry Potter. Born under the master number 11 who is supposedly the master of illumination, he was the one who stopped Tom Riddle from doing his evil deeds.
3) 2461995 = 36 = 9
9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
~June 24, 1995 is supposedly Cedric Diggory (a fellow Triwizard champion) got killed by Tom Riddle. This could be associated with the number’s ‘Endings’ property. 1995 was also the year when the Second Wizarding War happened which can be associated with Global Awareness and Power/Strength.
Well…that looks, right, yeah? Ethan sighed and stood up, with difficulty, and walked towards the mugs of hot cocoa. MERLIN. He can barely feel his fingers now. "Thanks for this, ma'am." As soon as he got a mug, he quickly returned to his seat, wrapped his fingers around the mug. WARMTH. Yes.

It was time to get back to looking at those numbers. Staring at the numbers on his page, he tried to wrack his brains to remember something that he'd learnt about this time period.
SPOILER!!:
-1945: 1: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
This could relate to:
Albus Dumbledore defeating one of the most powerful wizards of all time (Grindelwald?). By defeating Grindelwald, Albus lead other wizards to believe that they could stop threats.
Tom Riddle graduating from Hogwarts. His graduation meant that he gained his own independence.
-July 31, 1980 11: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth
This could relate to:
Harry Potter is born. From contemporary times, we know that Harry Potter not only stood up (and eventually stopped) Tom Riddle but also inspired others to stand up and fight against him.
-June 24, 1995 9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
This could relate to:
The third task of the Tri-Wizarding Tournament was held this day. This was an ending to the international tournament that brought schools together. Relates to endings.
Cedric Diggory dies at the hand of Peter Pettigrew. Cedric died at a very young age. Relates to endings.
Tom Riddle/Voldermort returns. We know that he regained his strength at this time. Relates to strength regained.
As a result of Harry telling Dumbledore about Voldermort's return, the Order is brought back together. This could have something to do with global awareness- despite the fact, that the Minister of Magic & many of Harry's classmates do not believe that Voldermort is not alive. They think Harry is lying.
He took a sip of his hot cocoa and felt himself warm up slowly. He grinned. Ah, much better. Then he went over his answers to see if they made any sense.
Angel smiled as she went and got a mug of hot coco. "Thanks Professor." Angel then went back and sat down at her desk, she was glad her hands were feeling warmer, she then took a sip before continuing.
SPOILER!!: Angel's work
1945
1+9+4+5 = 19
1+9=10
1+0= 1
31 July 1980
3+1+7+1+9+8+0= 29
2+9= 11
24 June 1995
2+4+6+1+9+9+5=36
3+6=9
Angel looked at her work, well that sounded about right but she wanted to double check them so whilst taking a sip of cocoa, she checked the numbers and smiled as they were right.
Angel then put the mug down and went back to her text book it was time to do this.
1945= Was when Tom Riddle left school, which is where independence and innovation fits in. This was also when Dumbledore and Grindelwald had there amazing duel where a new beginning and leadership took place.
11= Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth
1980= Was when Harry Potter was born, he was an inspirational messenger and the Master of Illumination, He was also uplifting to others and a reformer of world problems.
1995= Cedric Diggory is killed by Voldermort. This indications an Ending in the way of life for the Wizarding world as Voldermort is back and he was also short-lived, dying at a young age.
Harry Potter escapes so that there is a global awareness of what he had witness because he can tell Albus Dumbledore what has happened who can then reform the Order of Phoenix.
Angel looked at her work and then smiled, she wasn't sure what the Professor would think but she was glad she had at least tried with this work today, she just hoped the Professor would like it.

After getting her cup of hot chocolate, Jasmine returned to her seat and began to finish her assignment. Thinking about it for a moment, she then picked up her quill again and began to write.
SPOILER!!: Jasmine's answers
1945: In 1945, Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindlewald in a famous duel. This resulted in Grindlewald being sent to prison. This was the battle of good vs. evil ultimately. Initially the two men had some similar ideas, but Dumbledore understood the error of his ways. He had a new beginning and a change in thinking. He was known for his innovation and went on to become a great leader and arguably the greatest wizard of all time. Dumbledore used his knowledge and power for good rather than evil.
31 July 1980: This was the day that Harry Potter was born. If anyone was the master of illumination, he was. Harry was the first to reveal that Voldemort had returned. He was also an inspirational messenger/one who uplifts others because repeatedly avoided Voldemort's attempts to kill him and gave others hope. As the "Chosen one", he raised people's consciousness and solved the Wizarding world's greatest problem by defeating/killing Voldemort.
24 June 1995: This was the day hat Cedric Diggory was killed and Voldemort returned to power. It was an ending in terms of Cedric's life. It was also the ending of Voldemort's powerless state. He had somewhat of a metamorphosis and became a full (albeit weird) bodied entity. Voldemort regained his power and strength and went on to terrorize the Wizarding world again.
Putting down her quill, Jasmine decided that she had written all that she could think of at the moment. She leaned back in her chair and took another sip of her hot chocolate. She would have to see whether or not she was on target with her answers.

After Professor Domingo had established he had done the reductions correctly, Adi sat there waiting patiently for the class to continue. He was thinking that Arithmancy wasn't so bad. It was definitely the way Domingo was teaching that made it better. He couldn't say the same for Professor French. He vaguely wondered what became of the crazy man.
Right. They were moving on. Adi paid attention to what the Spanish lady was saying. Moore reduction and stuff. Cool! And hot cocoa. A relieved Adi collected a mug for himself. "Thanks for this, Professor.'' He headed back to his seat. It was time to get to work!
SPOILER!!: Adi's Work
1945=1+9+4+5=19=1+9=10=1+0=1 Meanings: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership History: Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald. Dumbledore showed great leadership, independence and innovation as he challenged the dark wizard. There was a new beginning for all whose lives had become entangled with Grindelwald. Indeed, years later Dumbledore was still showing his leadership skills as well as independence and innovation.
31 July 1980= 3+1+7+1+9+8+0=29=2+9=11 Meanings: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth. History: This is the date Harry Potter was born. He was indeed an inspirational person having encouraged many to fight against evil by repeatedly speaking the truth, especially when Voldemort was "re-born" though not many believed him.. He played a major role in getting rid of the problem that was Voldemort in the Wizarding world.
24 June 1995= 2+4+6+1+9+9+5=36=3+6=9 Meaning: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy History: Third and final task of the Triwizard Tournament and Cedric Diggory's Death are both signified by endings here. There was a lot of tolerance by the four champions as they had to put up with various obstacles. Harry's and Cedric's happiness of winning the Tournament were short lived after they were transported somewhere else via Portkey. Voldemort also regained his power on this day.
And he was done! Adi took a sip of his cocoa as he waited for Professor Domingot o inspect his work.
Lucy took a mug of hot chocolate then completed her work
She grabbed her quill and she writed:"
Quote:
1945
Grindelwald was defeated by Albus Dumbledore.
24 June 1995
The date of three task of the Triwizard tournement..
Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory were kidnapped from Lord Voldemort
Cedric Diggory was killed by the Dark Lord..
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Aww sitting already? She would have been disappointed were it not for the fact the Professor said they were down to the last of their activities. That made everything sorta okay you know? And....and the hot cocoa, that helped LOADS so before heading back to her seat Lex went and got herself a cup to tide her over til she was done.
Could she have another for completing the work when she was finished? You know, kinda like a reward for actually getting the work done? She'd have to ask once she was done. For now, she flopped back into her seat and took off the dates so she could get to work.
Interpretation:
Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth.
Ah, done--hang on she needed to know a bunch of stuff about these dates didn't she? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good one
Despite the boisterous laughter going on in her head she managed to keep a somewhat even expression. This was hilarious. Her two most hated subjects brought into one room. Now she saw the need for the hot chocolate, give her something to fall back on when she realized how doomed she was. Haha, knowing what these dates actually were. Fuuuuunny.
"Er.......what if you don't know what happened during these dates and thus can't link them.................?" It was a legit question. Nobody laugh.

"Perfect," she said. Did he expect any less? They'd been through this the first time they met. They knew they were perfect, so of course when they worked on something together, it'd be flawless. She smirked at him but also glanced down at the parchment hoping they didn't accidentally make some mistake. That would blow her theory straight out the water.
Too bad this wasn't social hour...

Oh? OH? 'She improves you.' SMIRK. Wasn't that an interesting thought. Funnily enough, there was only a tiny part of him that didn't want to think that he needed anybody to improve him. Only a tiny part. For the most, this was.............. well, interesting. In a good way. Unlikely pairings, HELLO.
Blue eyes stole a glance over at Sophie before he said, "I'll make sure to remember that. Thanks, Professor." Uh huh. Interesting.

SNORT. "Talk about subtle," he said, playfully rolling his eyes at her before getting up and heading towards the front of the classroom. Hot cocoa was PERFECT in this weather. Uh huh. Kudos to you, Domingo. Grayson poured out two mugs of the frothy, chocolatey deliciousness before smiling over at the Arithmancy Professor. "Thanks for this, Professor." Free food -- or drinks in this case -- was always a plus.
Andddddd he went back to his seat, holding the two mugs of hot chocolate in his hands. "For you, Miss Subtle," he said, placing Sophie's mug down in front of her. The fourth year then placed his own mug own, grabbed the parchment and started scribbling in some random junk.
Text Cut: Calculations+meanings
1945
1 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 19
1 + 9 = 10
1 + 0 = 1
Meaning: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership Explanation: This was the end of the First Wizarding War, yeah? When Dumbledore defeated Grindlewald. The end of the war always means the start of something new. A new era, a new beginning. A lot of leadership and independence is needed in a war; you need that man or woman or whoever to pull you through and lead you to victory. Teamwork is good and all but everyone needs a leader in a war.
Meaning: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth Explanation: This was the date Harry Potter was born. We know that he went on to stop and defeat Tom Riddle, and he also inspired others to do the same what with the army he formed at Hogwarts. In this way, he was said to be an inspiration to the general wizarding population. By defeating Tom Riddle, he did end up being someone who reformed world problems, both wizarding and Muggle.
Meaning: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy Explanation: This was when the third task of the Triwizard Tournament took place. The third task marked the end of the tournament and the end of a new school year in general. A perfect ending for Hogwarts, because we were leading in points. But this ended up being short lived, thanks to an evil murderous wizard. Tom Riddle took two of the champions, killing one of them and duelling the other one, who then escaped. Lucky. That must have required a lot of power and strength to face the guy. He managed to get back and raise global awareness that the most evil man in history had come back (through metamorphosis, in a way), but some people didn't believe him.
"What do you think?" He slid the parchment over towards her. Tell him how brilliant it was. Go on. He was just going to sit here and take a sip of his hot chocolate. Mmmmmm!

Sophie grinned at the subtle comment. "When, since I met you, have you ever known me to be subtle?" she asked. First the Valentine's card, now the hot chocolate. Sophie had never really been THIS bold, but there was just something about turning fourteen that had caused her to suddenly change. She watched as Grayson went to the front of the room and prepared not one, but two, cups of hot chocolate. Then he brought one back to her. "Thank you," she said.
Test = PASSED.
Then he got straight to work. Sophie just sipped on her hot chocolate while Grayson worked on his part of the assignment. See. They were just working so wonderfully together. She did one part, then he did the next. She glanced at the parchment once he'd passed it to her. She was quiet as she read it over.
"Wow," she said. "I'm impressed. You even figured out the significance of them all. Nice work, Grayson." On BOTH parts--figuring out the Arithmancy AND getting her some hot chocolate.

Alright. First he was going to use the reduction method. He was baffled by the date ones but he gave his best effort in trying to solve them.
He opened his textbook and began turning the pages to find the section that they had just been on. Now what did these numbers mean? Hmmmm?

31 July 1980: 3+1+7+1+9+8+0=29-->2+9=11
24 June 1995: 2+4+6+1+9+9+5=36-->3+6=9
After Jasmine reduced he numbers. She looked in her text book for the meaning of each of the numbers. Taking her quill, she jotted down the number meanings in her notebook.
SPOILER!!: Number meanings
1=Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
11= Master of illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light, one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth.
9=Endings, tolerance, metamorphosis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short -lived, immediacy.
Now all Jasmine had to do was connect the dots. She would find the significance of the dates and compare that with the number meanings. Maybe a cup of hot chocolate would help her maintain her focus for the final part of the task. Well it definitely wouldn't hurt.

Now with the definitions, he had to start beginning about how this all fit into Wizarding history. He scratched his head as he tried to think of something. When nothing came to mind, he decided to take a break to go grab a delicious mug of hot cocoa in the front of the classroom. Picking up a mug, he grinned. "Thanks Professor!" he said with a grin. Arithmancy class was getting a lot better already.
He made his way back to his text and tried to think about what these numbers meant in and how that definition was applied to an important time in Wizarding history.

Ethan got a parchment, wrote down the problem, and started to compute. One by one, he wrote down the meaning for each number, and explained what he thinks about it.
SPOILER!!: Ethan’s Parchment
1) 1945 = 19 = 10 =1
1: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
~1945 was when Tom Riddle graduated. Graduation meant new beginnings and independence.
2) 3171980 = 29 = 11
11: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth
~July 31, 1980 is the birth date of Harry Potter. Born under the master number 11 who is supposedly the master of illumination, he was the one who stopped Tom Riddle from doing his evil deeds.
3) 2461995 = 36 = 9
9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
~June 24, 1995 is supposedly Cedric Diggory (a fellow Triwizard champion) got killed by Tom Riddle. This could be associated with the number’s ‘Endings’ property. 1995 was also the year when the Second Wizarding War happened which can be associated with Global Awareness and Power/Strength.
Well…that looks, right, yeah? Ethan sighed and stood up, with difficulty, and walked towards the mugs of hot cocoa. MERLIN. He can barely feel his fingers now. "Thanks for this, ma'am." As soon as he got a mug, he quickly returned to his seat, wrapped his fingers around the mug. WARMTH. Yes.

SPOILER!!:
-1945: 1: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
This could relate to:
Albus Dumbledore defeating one of the most powerful wizards of all time (Grindelwald?). By defeating Grindelwald, Albus lead other wizards to believe that they could stop threats.
Tom Riddle graduating from Hogwarts. His graduation meant that he gained his own independence.
-July 31, 1980 11: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth
This could relate to:
Harry Potter is born. From contemporary times, we know that Harry Potter not only stood up (and eventually stopped) Tom Riddle but also inspired others to stand up and fight against him.
-June 24, 1995 9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
This could relate to:
The third task of the Tri-Wizarding Tournament was held this day. This was an ending to the international tournament that brought schools together. Relates to endings.
Cedric Diggory dies at the hand of Peter Pettigrew. Cedric died at a very young age. Relates to endings.
Tom Riddle/Voldermort returns. We know that he regained his strength at this time. Relates to strength regained.
As a result of Harry telling Dumbledore about Voldermort's return, the Order is brought back together. This could have something to do with global awareness- despite the fact, that the Minister of Magic & many of Harry's classmates do not believe that Voldermort is not alive. They think Harry is lying.
He took a sip of his hot cocoa and felt himself warm up slowly. He grinned. Ah, much better. Then he went over his answers to see if they made any sense.

SPOILER!!: Angel's work
1945
1+9+4+5 = 19
1+9=10
1+0= 1
31 July 1980
3+1+7+1+9+8+0= 29
2+9= 11
24 June 1995
2+4+6+1+9+9+5=36
3+6=9
Angel looked at her work, well that sounded about right but she wanted to double check them so whilst taking a sip of cocoa, she checked the numbers and smiled as they were right.
Angel then put the mug down and went back to her text book it was time to do this.
1945= Was when Tom Riddle left school, which is where independence and innovation fits in. This was also when Dumbledore and Grindelwald had there amazing duel where a new beginning and leadership took place.
11= Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth
1980= Was when Harry Potter was born, he was an inspirational messenger and the Master of Illumination, He was also uplifting to others and a reformer of world problems.
1995= Cedric Diggory is killed by Voldermort. This indications an Ending in the way of life for the Wizarding world as Voldermort is back and he was also short-lived, dying at a young age.
Harry Potter escapes so that there is a global awareness of what he had witness because he can tell Albus Dumbledore what has happened who can then reform the Order of Phoenix.
Angel looked at her work and then smiled, she wasn't sure what the Professor would think but she was glad she had at least tried with this work today, she just hoped the Professor would like it.

SPOILER!!: Jasmine's answers
1945: In 1945, Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindlewald in a famous duel. This resulted in Grindlewald being sent to prison. This was the battle of good vs. evil ultimately. Initially the two men had some similar ideas, but Dumbledore understood the error of his ways. He had a new beginning and a change in thinking. He was known for his innovation and went on to become a great leader and arguably the greatest wizard of all time. Dumbledore used his knowledge and power for good rather than evil.
31 July 1980: This was the day that Harry Potter was born. If anyone was the master of illumination, he was. Harry was the first to reveal that Voldemort had returned. He was also an inspirational messenger/one who uplifts others because repeatedly avoided Voldemort's attempts to kill him and gave others hope. As the "Chosen one", he raised people's consciousness and solved the Wizarding world's greatest problem by defeating/killing Voldemort.
24 June 1995: This was the day hat Cedric Diggory was killed and Voldemort returned to power. It was an ending in terms of Cedric's life. It was also the ending of Voldemort's powerless state. He had somewhat of a metamorphosis and became a full (albeit weird) bodied entity. Voldemort regained his power and strength and went on to terrorize the Wizarding world again.
Putting down her quill, Jasmine decided that she had written all that she could think of at the moment. She leaned back in her chair and took another sip of her hot chocolate. She would have to see whether or not she was on target with her answers.

Right. They were moving on. Adi paid attention to what the Spanish lady was saying. Moore reduction and stuff. Cool! And hot cocoa. A relieved Adi collected a mug for himself. "Thanks for this, Professor.'' He headed back to his seat. It was time to get to work!
SPOILER!!: Adi's Work
1945=1+9+4+5=19=1+9=10=1+0=1 Meanings: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership History: Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald. Dumbledore showed great leadership, independence and innovation as he challenged the dark wizard. There was a new beginning for all whose lives had become entangled with Grindelwald. Indeed, years later Dumbledore was still showing his leadership skills as well as independence and innovation.
31 July 1980= 3+1+7+1+9+8+0=29=2+9=11 Meanings: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth. History: This is the date Harry Potter was born. He was indeed an inspirational person having encouraged many to fight against evil by repeatedly speaking the truth, especially when Voldemort was "re-born" though not many believed him.. He played a major role in getting rid of the problem that was Voldemort in the Wizarding world.
24 June 1995= 2+4+6+1+9+9+5=36=3+6=9 Meaning: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy History: Third and final task of the Triwizard Tournament and Cedric Diggory's Death are both signified by endings here. There was a lot of tolerance by the four champions as they had to put up with various obstacles. Harry's and Cedric's happiness of winning the Tournament were short lived after they were transported somewhere else via Portkey. Voldemort also regained his power on this day.
And he was done! Adi took a sip of his cocoa as he waited for Professor Domingot o inspect his work.

Could she have another for completing the work when she was finished? You know, kinda like a reward for actually getting the work done? She'd have to ask once she was done. For now, she flopped back into her seat and took off the dates so she could get to work.
Interpretation:
Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth.
Ah, done--hang on she needed to know a bunch of stuff about these dates didn't she? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good one
Despite the boisterous laughter going on in her head she managed to keep a somewhat even expression. This was hilarious. Her two most hated subjects brought into one room. Now she saw the need for the hot chocolate, give her something to fall back on when she realized how doomed she was. Haha, knowing what these dates actually were. Fuuuuunny.
"Er.......what if you don't know what happened during these dates and thus can't link them.................?" It was a legit question. Nobody laugh.

Text Cut: Sophie+Domingo
It would be kind of fun to have one over him? Grayson snorted. For HER, yeah. She already held the top points earner title over him, this would just make it worse. And he would have responded but............
.............. Domingo.
Oh? OH? 'She improves you.' SMIRK. Wasn't that an interesting thought. Funnily enough, there was only a tiny part of him that didn't want to think that he needed anybody to improve him. Only a tiny part. For the most, this was.............. well, interesting. In a good way. Unlikely pairings, HELLO.
Blue eyes stole a glance over at Sophie before he said, "I'll make sure to remember that. Thanks, Professor." Uh huh. Interesting.
And they were moving on.
AND, Soph had already gone off ahead. Jeez, this girl was on a ROLL. Grayson leaned closer just a little to see her calculations and to get a head start on figuring out what could be linked to those dates. Did he know? LOL. No. But he didn't want to come across as dumb to the girl sitting next to him. The girl who............
............... was finished and wanted hot cocoa.
SNORT. "Talk about subtle," he said, playfully rolling his eyes at her before getting up and heading towards the front of the classroom. Hot cocoa was PERFECT in this weather. Uh huh. Kudos to you, Domingo. Grayson poured out two mugs of the frothy, chocolatey deliciousness before smiling over at the Arithmancy Professor. "Thanks for this, Professor." Free food -- or drinks in this case -- was always a plus.
Andddddd he went back to his seat, holding the two mugs of hot chocolate in his hands. "For you, Miss Subtle," he said, placing Sophie's mug down in front of her. The fourth year then placed his own mug own, grabbed the parchment and started scribbling in some random junk.
Text Cut: Calculations+meanings
1945
1 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 19
1 + 9 = 10
1 + 0 = 1
Meaning: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership Explanation: This was the end of the First Wizarding War, yeah? When Dumbledore defeated Grindlewald. The end of the war always means the start of something new. A new era, a new beginning. A lot of leadership and independence is needed in a war; you need that man or woman or whoever to pull you through and lead you to victory. Teamwork is good and all but everyone needs a leader in a war.
Meaning: Master of Illumination, the inspirational messenger, the number of light; one who raises consciousness, reformer of world problems, wants to uplift others, inspires by teaching own truth Explanation: This was the date Harry Potter was born. We know that he went on to stop and defeat Tom Riddle, and he also inspired others to do the same what with the army he formed at Hogwarts. In this way, he was said to be an inspiration to the general wizarding population. By defeating Tom Riddle, he did end up being someone who reformed world problems, both wizarding and Muggle.
Meaning: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy Explanation: This was when the third task of the Triwizard Tournament took place. The third task marked the end of the tournament and the end of a new school year in general. A perfect ending for Hogwarts, because we were leading in points. But this ended up being short lived, thanks to an evil murderous wizard. Tom Riddle took two of the champions, killing one of them and duelling the other one, who then escaped. Lucky. That must have required a lot of power and strength to face the guy. He managed to get back and raise global awareness that the most evil man in history had come back (through metamorphosis, in a way), but some people didn't believe him.
"What do you think?" He slid the parchment over towards her. Tell him how brilliant it was. Go on. He was just going to sit here and take a sip of his hot chocolate. Mmmmmm!

She watched as Grayson went to the front of the room and prepared not one, but two, cups of hot chocolate. Then he brought one back to her. "Thank you," she said.
Test = PASSED.
Then he got straight to work. Sophie just sipped on her hot chocolate while Grayson worked on his part of the assignment. See. They were just working so wonderfully together. She did one part, then he did the next. She glanced at the parchment once he'd passed it to her. She was quiet as she read it over.
"Wow," she said. "I'm impressed. You even figured out the significance of them all. Nice work, Grayson." On BOTH parts--figuring out the Arithmancy AND getting her some hot chocolate.

The Latina acknowledged each student's gratitude with a nod of her head. Some of their manners had improved since the last lesson.
Well, most of them had done quite well. The calculations were not difficult, but pairing them with the meanings was harder. "Bueno, estudiantes. Most of you have calculated and interpreted correctly." Assuming they knew the dates, unlike certain Prefects. "If you did not know those three important dates, I suggest paying better attention in History of Magic from here on out." Smirk. "The answers were, in order, one, eleven, and nine. The first date is the year the wizard Grindelwald was defeated, the second is of course Harry Potter's date of birth and Voldemort's first disappearance, and the third is Voldemort's rebirth." She did not have qualms over saying the name.
"With that our time has now drawn to a close. Homework will be posted shortly."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
They were done already? Adi was enjoying this lesson so much that he didn't want it to end. Ah well. He stuffed his belongings back into his back, downed the last of his hot cocoa before Scourgifying the cup and replacing it where had gotten it from.
"Bye, Professor. See you around.'' With a small wave, the Hufflepuff left the class.
Jedi Master•General Iroh•Java Junkie• King ♛ Stefan •Mycroft Holmes•Dragon Lord•Druid Boy
Huh? Done?
Ethan blinked at the professor then to his almost empty mug. Well at least he was productive albeit the cold, yeah? That brought a little grin on his face as he cleaned his mug, stood up, and placed it back on the table where he got it. "See you around then, professor. Thanks for the lesson." he said as he passed by her.
The Slythern collected all of his things and stuffed it inside his satchel in a hurry. Merlin, the temperature felt suffocating already to be honest, and so, without another word, the third year snake headed towards the door and off he went to their dorms down below.
Brrr. Cold!

Paying better attention in History of Magic class? Pffffffft. Right and she supposed next she'd be saying they shouldn't fall asleep and should actually be taking notes while they're at it, yeah? That'd be the day.
The Gryffindor would have attempted the rest of the answer now that the Professor had oh so kindly given it to her but then they were dismissed and the lion was never one to stay in an Arithmancy class longer than need be so...Lex casually folded her parchment and tucked it into the side of her bag. No one needed to know she wasn't finished. Lex would simply finish her hot chocolate and leave, which was exactly what she did.
"See you Professor."
She was so out of here.

Lolita nodded to the students as they said their farewells. Once the last one had left the classroom, she Banished the dishes to the kitchens. The elves could deal with them. She couldn't be bothered to do so; one good deed was enough for the day.
