Hmmph.
Tori's hand shot into the air as she answered this question. "My favorite number, three, has characteristics of imagination, positivism, playfulness, and creative expression, professor." Quote:

The blonde flipped through her text, looking for Chapter Three.
Deciding on the number 7, she raised her hand, "Professor, I chose the number 7 (seven). The characteristics are Analysis, research, solitude, wisdom, spiritual focus, investigative, and mystical." Quote:

Aw yes, the characteristics of the numbers. Didn't really need the book since they've been over this a few times in the past.
"The number one..." she started to say after she raised her hand. "Has characteristics of leadership, independence, beginnings and changes." Quote:

"Eng... I love number 8 because it means inspiring, result-oriented, powerful, ambitious, visionary, generous, perseverant, forgiving, broad-minded, money-conscious and self-disciplined." Quote:

Originally Posted by Jezabel Black Jez had been rather quiet during the lesson, which was weird since she enjoyed Arithmancy.

"The number 7 represents solidarity, mystery, wisdom or intelligence, and spiritual focus. 7 is also believed to be the most powerfully magical number." Jez suddenly thought of something that made her wince. She had 6 siblings, so that meant that, including herself, there were 7 children in her family. Given her parents' obsession with magical heritage, et cetera, she didn't think this number was an accident. Quote:

Originally Posted by iceblossom22 Raising her hand, Elise answered the next question.
"The characteristics of the number three are positivism, playfulness, imagination and creative expression." She picked it because of her birthday. March 3rd.Teeheehee... Quote:

He figured it wouldn't hurt to try, raising his hand. "I didn't know if you meant to include zero and nine... so I picked zero, which is Emptiness, change, decay, nothing." "Quite right, all of you are!" Josephina beamed, making mental notes of the students who answered. Quote:

OOC:Sorry I saw that you had a picture of Julia but still I wrote 'sir' lack of sleep of the last few days has caused that, and yet I am still up RPing as it is fun! No amount of lack of sleep is going to stop me! "Oh it's fine. Just see that you remember it next time, so no, i won't not take points away just because of that slip of the tongue." Fina frowned. Seriously, was he trying to SHRUG OFF not getting enough sleep? That was his own fault. Not hers. ooc: it's only five points. As long you keep participating as you're doing, I wouldn't fret over it =) Quote:
Originally Posted by cheeseStrings Janice took out her book, consulted the number charts for a while, and quickly chose the number 3 as it reflects a lot to her house's traits. Her hand went up, and she answered.
"The number three has he meaning of: Building, formation, hard work, endurance, sober-mindedness, practicality." "Right, almost. Except I think your characteristics are ones that refer to the number four, not the number three." Quote:
Originally Posted by Bubbles Kennedy raised his hand, "I would guess mine is six?" It turned out sounding like a question and he didn't elaborate because...well she didn't ask. He wasn't sure where he fit. He chose six because it was about family and stuff. He was about family, a family that consisted of him and his mom, and he felt responsible for her...so he fit there. Unless, there was a zero where strange people fit? "Yours what?" Hadley frowned. "We're not discussing numbers and relating them to YOU." Honestly. Slytherins. Were they so conceited that they thought EVERYTHING was about them? "Generic numbers. And their characteristics." Flicking her wand, the list from their book with the numbers appeared on the board with a few additions
Numbers 0-9
0: Emptiness, change, decay, nothing
1: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
2: Harmony, unity, relationships, collaboration, duality, humans/human magic
3: Imagination, positivism, playfulness, creative expression, house elves/house elf magic, complex thought
4: Building, formation, hard work, endurance, sober-mindedness, practicality, organization
5: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
6: Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues, stability
7: Analysis, research, solitude, wisdom, spiritual focus, investigative, mysticism, magic
8: Authority, finances, business, success, material wealth, self-mastery, complex thought/reasoning, fluidity
9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
"Ultimately this list contains the essential characteristics of each of the numbers zero through nine. As such, what might this indicate for a combination of numbers such as 47?" Fina asked. Nice random, two digit number.
