Knowledge goes in hand with research and studying." Duh.

The number two. "The number two; you all must have heard at some point that good things come in threes. But there is nothing more magical and special than the unity of two. Two has meaning of harmony and unity, which creates that magical bond of which nothing can stop.

The combination of a two plus a seven will equal nine, which in other words, completion. Wholeness. Which is one reason I love these two numbers. Because if they weren't special enough by themselves - which they are - then together, they signify complete and total universal oneness."

Now for the fun part of the lesson. "Before we begin the next part of the lesson, I'm going to pass around some peppermint chocolates, because I do believe the sugar can get the blood flowing..." With that, she passed some of the candies to each of the students. "In just a moment, you'll find yourselves surrounded by walls. You'll need to make your way out of the maze . . . BUT the catch is when you encounter a seven or a two blocking your path. When you come across one of these numbers, you will need to use your knowledge of the numbers to do something or wave something at the number to allow it to let you through."

With a flick of her wand, a moment later the lights flickered and then in another instant, the Arithmancy classroom was transformed into a giant maze (like this).

OOC Notes:
* You could start from anywhere in the maze.
* RP yourselves making your way through the maze. Minimum of 5 posts for maximum credit
* Be creative with how you get by a two or seven; use the textbook for something related to these numbers to get by
* You have until 7pm EST on September 15th to complete this
* There will be a surprise waiting at the end of the maze (where the red dot is)
* Questions, then ask me.
* You need help? Use your wand to shoot red sparks to get the Professor's attention.

Then the lights went out, when they came back on Rae couldn't even recognize where she was, but she still had ahold of Salander's arm. Looking at him, it now occurred to her that this might be awkward, grabbing his arm and all.. "Er.. Nothing awkward alright? I just, don't think I could really do this." Stupid maze. It made her feel stupid. Once Rae was sure that they wouldn't end up somewhere else with a blink or something, she let go of him. "Yeah.. Er.. Let's go."

Salander took a small piece of the peppermint chocolate as he listened to the Professor, then hastily grabbed his things just as the Professor flicked her wand, sending lights flickering and walls appearing from nowhere "Oh great, another maze? This time something we have to get out of?.... " He didnt mind hitting stuff, but Salander wasnt exactly the kind of dude blessed with an internal GPS.

He felt someone grabbed his arm, and turned his head to look at... Rae! Well at least he has someone to get lost with. He raised his brows as Rae got all flustered then let go of his arm. "Uhm... hey 'is cool." he shrugged.

They continued down the path and rounded a corner. There they were greeted by a gigantic pair of columns, forming the roman numeral II. "Huh two columns?" he muttered as he clambered up the base and tried to squeeze himself between the spaces. No luck. The spaces were actually an invisible wall which wouldnt let anyone through. He jumped back down and looked at Rae. "Now what?"
