Just as the notice boards had informed you, the kitchens have become the place for yet another lesson this term. This one being the topics of Arithmancy and Muggle Studies.
The kitchens have been rearranged with chairs around the four large work tables, somewhat of a resemblance to the great hall. There's various decorations of red and green streamers hanging overhead and sombreros of various sizes on a table by the door, along with maracas in the middle of the table for decor and decorative plates as well.
Josephina is standing by the door welcoming you, no sombrero for her, but she is equipped with a pair of rancher boots."Welcome! Bienvenido! You may select and wear one of these hats, or sombreros, for the duration of the lesson if you'd like. Take a seat and we'll begin shortly!" Hopefully after her co-professor arrived, but if not she was more than willing to begin without her.
ooc: this lesson won't actually start for a little over 24 hours from now, but feel free to get situated, put on a sombrero and be festive despite the cold

Burritos? Oh yeaaaah! Ethan nodded, and tapped his table in excitement. Why? Because they might make one in a few moments, given that they are in the kitchen.
But of course.
Before they get to the main event, they will have to do some academic stuff first.
Oookay, as long as there's food involved then he's all game for this. Ethan got his notebook and muggle pencil out, ready to tackle the next activity.

They had to deal with numbers first?
But... But food. Glorious, scrumptious food! You couldn't just put food in front of their faces and then take it away. Well they could.. cause they're Professors and all. Simon frowned. If he did his work quickly and effectively, then he could eat quicker, right?
Alright, Simon could do that. Working with Arithmancy would probably wake up all of their appetites so that when it came time to eat all the delicious food, they would eat lots of it. He pulled out his notebook and quill, waiting for further instruction.

Well, some of this class made sense so far. Marigold set down her quill and stretched her fingers while she waited for the Arithmancy stuff to start up. She grinned at the thought of food coming after numbers.

When Professor Hadley agreed that tacos were involved, Lux immediately perked up. DID THIS MEAN THAT THEY WOULD BE MAKING TACOS TODAY?!
If so, this would be the best lesson ever alongside the one where they had made pizza. The mention of numbers made her groan inwardly, but Lux would get through it if it meant she could make tacos.
Lucy continued to take notes..
Would they be making Mexican food today?
But first they would begin a new lesson of Arithmancy..
Lucy was happy, she loved Arithmancy and...She was hungry!

Doflamingo? *brows*
Lolita smirked at some of the looks on the students' faces. Yes, they really did have to wait to get their food. No, she would not stand to hear complaining. "Alright, estudiantes, you heard la profesora. Quills and parchment out straightaway if you have not already been taking notes." They should have been jotting down what Fina was saying, but she didn't trust some of them to be so responsible.
She walked to the front of room, or at least what passed as the front in the kitchen, as the rustling of papers sounded. They should know by now to bring the supplies to her classes, but all the same she shot a look at Señor Pelo to check on him.
"Most of your homework was at least passable, and some of it was truly excepcional." She nodded in turn to Miss Carrington, Cockroach Kid (Mordred), the two Newells, Mr Adair, Miss Brown, and Mr Whitlock. "Where some were lacking was in their depth of analysis, which I hope you will strive to grow in today." Speaking of which... "We have been talking about Cinco de Mayo, or 5 May 1862. I would like you to reduce and analyze each form of the date," she waved her wand and three numbers formed out of blood-red ribbon in midair, "just like you did at the end of last lesson and in your homework. Remember that the meanings can be found on page four of your textbook."

She normally would circulate the room to answer questions, but they shouldn't need help with this now. Plus they knew they were always free to work with a partner. Lolita sidled over to where Josephina stood and decided to chat with her friend instead. "Too bad your little project didn't need all the ovens this place has. That would warm it up in here quite nicely."
Angel knew that she had to try and do this work because she wanted to try and impress Professor Hadley and the Arithmancy teacher, so she really got into the flow with her work and tried to make it the best she could.

Angel looked at her work and decided to double check it before she continued with the meaning, she wanted to make sure she was totally right before continuing with the work.

Marigold could do adding. She did learn math in a muggle school, of course. She had to say, she was happy she didn't need many math skills at Hogwarts. But addition was easy. She picked her quill back up and started scribbling her answers.

SPOILER!!: More work
9 means "tolerance," "teaching," and "strength."
1 is "beginning" or "innovation."
Even though they didn't get food yet, Hazel smiled at the assignment. It was probably the only thing in Arithmancy she could do! She picked up her quill and scooted her parchment in front of her.

Good thing he had made notes as Professor Hadley spoke about the significance of Cinco de Mayo. They would come in handy for his interpretations. He was quite used to this activity by now so he could started right away.

5 May 1862= 5+5+1+8+6+2=27=2+7=9 Meanings: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy. Interpretation: The end of invasions by the Europeans to Americans. The French victory over Mexico City was a short lived one due to the US providing help in the form of politics and military. That part represents power or strength of working together to defeat the enemy.
5 May= 5+5=10=1=0=1 Meanings: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership Interpretation: It was a new beginning for the Mexican people. They gained their Independence under the leadership and innovation of Benito Juarez.
5=5 Meanings: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch Interpretation: The change or transition from war to peace for the Mexicans was due to their progressive thinking both from themselves and the US. Despite them being outnumbered, they still fought and emerged victorious because they used the resources they had at hand- courage and skill.

La Profesora had started her portion of the lesson and Jasmine was busy taking notes as she spoke. Then it was time to reduce and analyze. Jasmine really needed to put her thinking cap on for her Arithmancy tasks. She wrote down the dates they would be working on and opened her textbook.

5 May 1862 was the ending of the Battle of Puebla. There was a metamorphosis because the victory inspired and transformed the country of Mexico. Power and strength did not result in a win for France. The success was short lived because one year later, France captured Mexico City.
1:Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
Cinco de Mayo represented a new beginning for Mexico. While it was not their true Independence Day, Mexico achieved theoretical independence because the did not allow France to prevail. The Mexican army was innovative in finding ways to win the battle when they were outnumbered.
The fifth of May marked a change in how Mexico was perceived by others, especially the more powerful countries. The Mexicans had freedom from war after the battle ended. Again the army showed resourcefulness and versatility in finding a way to win against all odds.
Whew, that was taxing. As usual, Jasmine had a headache when she finished analyzing her numbers, but she had done it. She put down her quill and rested her brain for a moment.......at least until the next task.

Wait a minute, Professor Domingo was that a head nod!? To THIS Gryffindor! Dios Mio!! Ahem. Did that meant that his homework was one of the exceptional ones and not one of the meh ones? Did it? Because man it actually felt kind of nice to have done something right for once! Zander wasn't really one all for Arithmancy, but this gave him a little confidence booster and he decided to get started on the assignment right away!
Quote:
5 May 1862
5+5+1+8+6+2=27
2+7=9
Meanings: Endings, teaching, global awareness, power/strength
Possible Interpretations: Could possibly mean Endings because it marks the celebration of the end of the battle. It also acts as a point of Teaching because after the battle several points of learning can be drawn about how not to sell yourself short. Even though the Mexicans looked like they were going to lose they totally persevered and one! Which could teach us all a lesson or too and we're not just talking about Arithmancy here. I also think Global Awareness is important because it allowed the rest of the world to see what Mexico was really capable of. And lastly, Power/Strength because of the strength Mexico had to overcome the battle they were faced with and power because in the end they proved to be more than just a weak army.
5 May
5+5=10
1+0=1
Meanings:Beginning, leadership
Possible Interpretations: I think that Beginning is an important meaning because it ties into the beginning of a new thought process for Mexico, in the sense that it kinda helped them see that they weren't as weak as everyone thought. It is also the beginning of fun celebrations and good times! Leadership because without good leaders the army would have fallen at the sight of an enemy French dude.
5
...=5
Meanings: Change, transition, progressive thinking
Possible Interpretations:Change is totally in here because it changed everyone's minds about Mexico and their army. It also was a change from how weak Mexico was compared to the French and how they changed that in the battle. Transition because it transitioned the mindset into one of celebration, even though people thought they would have been grieving. Progressive Thinking because it taught people to think all the positive things now instead of selling ourselves short and not believing in ourselves. The whole anything is possible if you set your mind to it thing. My mom always says that, but maybe Mexico's moms said that too and then this happened?
Phew. That took way too long. But thankfully he was finally done. He looked around to spot Professor Domingo going around and viewing everyone else's papers, so he waited for her to make her way towards him. Because he was done too!

Alright, she would admit that if they were looking at this kind of number thing then she didn't have many complaints. Reducing was easy enough and wouldn't give her nearly as much of a headache as all that history stuff they had to be focusing on...minus the fact they were reducing the history date in question. Details details.
It was noted that the Professor was going around the room as she usually did while the students did their calculations but admittedly the Gryffindor had been distracted by what the thought might have been a batter of chocolate left on the counter. Who would do such a thing? It was so wasteful. Might as well let her have it.
Er...but more to the point of the lesson and the reducing....
Nine:
Meaning - Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
Interpretation - This is when the war happened and like....everyone learned that Mexico was a force to be reckoned with...so that could be global awareness as well as power and strength speaking to the Mexican forces that beat the French.
One:
Meaning - Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
Interpretation - It must have taken some real strong leadership in order for them to beat a country like France when they were thought to be the underdogs but they had that leadership and I'll assume they gained some form of independence from it after.
Five:
Meaning - Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
Interpretation - This has Mexico written all over it with the versatility and all that they displayed during the whole fight and resourcefulness must have been a thing too otherwise they'd have crumpled under the French by now. Definitely seeing some change. For once the little guys won.
Mhm, she was done.

Okay, say WHAT?!
They were going to be making food? FOOD?! GOOD food? Swear to Merlin, most of the lessons this year was linked with food and Grayson had NO complaints whatsoever. It meant that they could EAT in class, a very good sign if they didn't end up burning down the place. And the food listed? Tacos, burritos and a whole range of other food that was making him hungry just by the thought of them.
It was also making him almost miss whatever it is that came next with the Arithmancy portion.
See? Distractions.
And so, gathering up his senses, Grayson turned his attention towards yet another distraction. "Heeeeeey Soph. What do you say to working together on this as well?" Just like last time, where the most unlikeliest of pairings made for some brilliant results. Juuuuust saying.

SMIRK.
Come on, Newell, you can't say no to this face.
Sophie perked up. Did Hadley say something about eating? AWESOME. Sophie couldn't wait to try all the Cinco de Mayo foods! Tacos! Burritos! Enchiladas! EEE! First, though, they had to do calculations. How cruel, having to do Arithmancy before you can eat.
...BUT--there might just be a silver lining to having to do calculations before they ate. Sophie was just getting out her quill and a piece of parchment when Mr. Slytherin Hottie himself turned his attention toward her. Now that was always a very nice surprise--having Grayson Whitlock turn all his attention toward her. She smiled her best 'I have it bad for you and am trying to impress you' smile. "Of course I'll work with you," she said. "How could I say no to that smirk?" And to those eyes...and that hair, too.
She looked toward the dates Domingo had provided and turned back to Grayson. "So do you want to do the calculations and look up the meaning for the first one? I'll do the interpretation," she volunteered. She thought she remembered them doing it backwards last time, so this would be a swap of roles.

Oh no, AJ never did get the hang of this number reduction thing in the last lesson. How on earth was she going to get it now? Before she went into total freak out mode, she told herself to just do normal muggle addition. The lion could totally handle that.
Picking up her quill, she scratched it across her parchment. They weren't allowed to work in pairs, right? With a sign she tried to make sense of the numbers that were staring up at her.

5
Meanings - Change, transition, freedom, versatility
Interpretation - Everything CHANGED when the mexican army won even though they were super outnumbered and all of the odds were against them. They now have FREEDOM.
How she managed to get through that, she had no idea. She was done though, and that meant it was time for some mexican food.
A lot was going on. A lot, and Beverly was taking note of everything. Switching her gaze from Professor Hadley to Professor Domingo, she gripped her quill tighter. Okay. This lady, she had to pay attention to her because she tended to lose Beverly half way.
Thank Merlin, though, the Slytherin was quite alert and grasped what was being said and the assignment. She quickly started on it before she over analyzed it and confused herself.
Meaning: The way I interpret it is that Mexico had the strength to have won over the French when they should have lost, which was a big surprise to everyone at the time. It was also an ending to that battle, but it was rather short lived due to Mexico City being overtaken.
Meaning: This win was the beginning in a new way of thinking for Mexican people. It gave them confidence and the independence they needed to keep going forth and fighting.
Meaning: This battle changed both how Mexicans saw themselves and how other countries did too. They were strong and could kick serious butt when it came to their freedom. It was a big change.
There. She was done. Re-reading it she checked over her answers. They were descent. Nice. She was going to re-read it just in case.

His work was exceptional? Really? Well, THANK YOU, Professor because his brain turned into mush right after he finished that one. At least he got something extra out of it, yeah? Ethan tipped his huge sombrero as he caught Domingo’s eyes and gave her a grin. You’re welcome, professor. Mhm.
Then comes the challenge. The blond boy got his notebook, book, and muggle pencil and went down to business. This should be easy, yeah? Yeah.
The 5th of May 1862 was, according to Muggle History is the Battle of Puebla in Mexico City. The battle took an unexpected result with the Mexicans winning, despite their small number against the French. The date of the battle, when reduced, produces the number 9. ‘Endings’ could pertain to the last colonization efforts of a European nation, as well as an ‘Ending’ to the two nations’ conflict. ‘Metamorphosis’ and ‘Global Awareness’ can also be applied as this brings change towards how the world views wars and battles. Who would have thought that such group could win a war? The meaning of ‘Teaching’ can also be applied as this could be a good study in military tactics and such. ‘Cosmic’ is also a relatable meaning to the battle as it showcases 8,000 men versus 4,000 soldiers. With the battle falling on said date, the result could have been theorized as ‘Short-lived’, and this was in fact proven as stated in muggle history books.
5 May
= 5 + 5
= 10
= 1
One (1): Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership.
Interpretation:
May 5 or Cinco de Mayo, is celebrated every year to commemorate the victory of the Mexicans against the French. Annually, the new ‘Beginning’ that the war has brought to the Mexican nation is celebrated, so that the present and future generation may never forget what was lost and gained.
Any event that will fall on the fifth may bring change, transition in the physical world or ones self. This can also be applied to objects that bears the number five.
Aaaaaaand done. Do they get to eat now? Hmm?

"Of course I'll work with you," she said. "How could I say no to that smirk?" And to those eyes...and that hair, too.
She looked toward the dates Domingo had provided and turned back to Grayson. "So do you want to do the calculations and look up the meaning for the first one? I'll do the interpretation," she volunteered. She thought she remembered them doing it backwards last time, so this would be a swap of roles.
He KNEW this far was irresistible.
As was that smile that she was wearing rather well. Jeez, Soph.
Regain that composure, Whitty. Cool, calm and collected. That's what he was going to try and be. "Exactly," he said in regards to the part about not being able to say no to his smirk, even throwing in an extra wink too. Just because. "Thanks for pairing up with me." And maaaaaybe they could do the same if they were going to be cooking. It was something to think about.
Seriously? He had hoped that SHE would do the calculations. The girl was writer at that while Whitty was better at rambling on about something as making it sound smart. "'Course I can do that. It's only fair." Since she DID do the calculations last time. So, picking up his quill, Grayson pulled a piece of parchment closer towards him and started scribbling away.

Oh. They were being asked to do more simple addition like they had in the last lesson. That wasn't too bad, as Lux had a better handle on that aspect of Arithmancy than she had in the stuff they covered in the first lesson.
In her notebook she wrote down the numbers they were to reduce and then jotted down the answers as she worked them out:

In the textbook, 9 represents endings, power/strength, and short-lived. This date was the ending of the Battle of Puebla and the victory changed Mexico. This was an ending of how things used to be and their power/strength is what helped them to defeat France. This change didn't last long, as a year later Mexico City was captured by the French.
5 May
5 + 5 = 10
1 + 0 = 1
In the textbook, 1 represents beginning, independence, and leadership. May 5 is the day that Cinco de Mayo is celebrated. This holiday commemorates the new beginning of Mexico and their theoretical independence when they didn't let France beat them at the Battle of Puebla. It was the leadership of the Mexican army that led to their victory, since they were outnumbered by the French army.
5
5 = 5
In the textbook, 5 represents change, resourceful and freedom. May 5th was a change from how Mexico used to be. The Mexicans gained freedom from war at the end of the battle. The Mexican army was resourceful, and that is how they won the war.

"I think I'm going to continue," he said. He knew that there was more to get at and he didn't want to disappoint the Arithmancy Professor. He'd have to work his butt off. He picked up his quill and continued.
SPOILER!!: notes
5 May 1862
5 + 5 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2
= 27
2+7 =9
This number (9) means: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy.
What does this mean to history: Cinco De Mayo, 5th of May, is a holiday that marks the Battle of Puebla (1862) in Mexico City. It was the French versus the Mexicans. Despite the unreasonable odds set against the Mexicans (the French had a HUGE army), the Mexicans won (HOORAY). After applying the reduction method on this date, we get the number 9 which has to do with endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmics, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power, short-lived, and immediacy. 'Endings' relates to the end of the battle as well as the end of European occupation in Mexico. However, this was short-lived. As France took over the city again but then that occupation was short lived as the Mexicans retaliated to win the day!
5 May
5 + 5
=10
1+ 0 =1
This number (1) means: beginning, independence, innovation, leadership.
What does this mean for history: May 5th when reduced gives us the number one. This number is associated with beginnings, independence, innovation, an leadership. This was the first time Mexico successfully stood up to a European power. It gave a morale boost to the Mexican army and people. 'Beginnings' pertains to the fact that the Mexicans stood up to the Europeans and started to decide to think about becoming their own country hence independence.
5
=5
This number (5) means: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
What does this mean for history: The Mexicans realized that they could actually stand up to the European powers. When reflecting on this date, other people and countries will think about how this nation changed the physical world by separating from European Imperialism.
