| | Arithmancy One (Golden Ratio) ARITHMANCY LESSON ONE "When you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of meager and unsatisfactory kind." - Lord Kelvin Josephina propped opened the door to the Arithmancy classroom twenty minutes early today. For an Autumn day with the leaves falling on the grounds everywhere, she felt oddly blissful as it came time for her first lesson of the term.
She pulled herself onto her desk and waited anxiously for the students to arrive, her knees crossed, one foot bouncing anxiously in the air. Can she start early? She wondered how acutely aware the students were of the time on their schedules. ooc: lesson won't start for another 5-6hours. Please make yourselves comfortable and we'll be with you shortly =) |

Sonea had just been wandering around when she suddenly realized that the Arithmancy Classroom was already open! The young girl looked surprised at her watch and saw that the class had started early today! But… She had already packed all her school stuff and was ready, so she entered the classroom and smiled at the professor. “Hello professor” greeted Sonea while she looked around her and noted that she was the first one.

Lex knew this day was coming. Arithmancy class. She'd been doing so well forgetting about it until the notice showed up on her noticeboard in her Common Room. Sure she could have pretended that she didn't see it, how could they prove otherwise, but then she'd be noted as absent and she wouldn't really have much of a reason for skipping class.
No use sulking about it either! NOOOOPE.
This being the case, there was a bounce in the Third Year's step as she made her way into the classroom. "Hello Professor!!! Pleasant day, isn't it?" You know, minus the whole being at class bit.
BEAM.
She'd just had something to eat. This was a recipe for sleeping if things got too difficult. Mhm.

Apparently when you have earned an "O" during your Arithmancy OWLs, it would make you more inclined to the subject and actually cause spurs of excitement when you're about to have its first lesson of the term. That was what a Beatrice Castell was feeling right about now. For once, she was.....excited to be in Arithmancy. She felt more enthused about numbers and she was pretty ecstatic to see Profesor Hadley.
Hence, she was humming off as she headed to class. The classic Beezus smile was plastered on her face as she stepped inside the room.
"Hello, Professor Hadley! Good day. It's wonderful to see you." She might have even said that in a nearly sing-song voice. Oh well. It was one of those pleasant days. She so needed more of those.

Nigel was never strong in Arithmancy. But he did like Professor Hadley. So here he was at Arithmancy class. Plus he want to try this on his OWLS next term and he would have to go to class to learn. "Hello, Professor Hadley" Nigel said smiling as he went to find a seat in the back. Nigel was not sure.

Oakey was pretty contempt today, nothing to bothersome yet has occured today. He entered into Professor Hadley's class and looked around. A class he was actually early to for a start, nice. Not a lot of the chairs were taken so Oakey claimed one up at the front, right where he normally sat for Hadley's classes. "Hiya Professor, great day today isn't it?" All this happy-go-lucky stuff felt sort of off for someone who was comtempt with the day.

Minerva quietly walked to the Arithmancy classroom. She was having a good day, so smiles all around, but she just felt like being quiet. Entering the room, Minerva smiled seeing Hadley on her desk. Looking at one of her favorite professor, she couldn't help but noticed she looked different, was she nervous about something. "Hello Professor, you alright today?"
Once she greeted Hadley she turned to find her usual place in the front row. She made her way to an empty seat and sat down placing her bag on the floor and pulling out her quill and parchment. Scanning the room, she noticed a few faces she knew, saying quick hellos to them all she stopped at Oakey, "Hey Oakey" then she wondered, they were speaking to each other again, right?

After discovering that Professor Hadley had super hearing powers last term, Jory decided he would speak less. Only when he had to participate in activities or answer any questions. He'd have to kick the habit of talking to himself. At least in Arithmancy. "Hallo, Professor,'' he said with a smile when he reached the class. "It's great to see you again.'' Jory went off to take a seat and maybe do a quick brush up on random topics? He didn't want to look like an idiot during the first lesson.

| Arithmancy!
Now this was one of her favourite classes, together with Potions. As she made her way to the classroom, the Ravenclaw started remembering the first Arithmancy lesson she had attended. First year. Just doing some calculations when the Professor asked something about a few volunteers demonstrating. She had actually been a bit unsure, though she would not forget how encouraging Professor Hadley had been.
As she stepped in the classroom, the seventh year noticed that quite many students had already arrived. ‘Hello, Professor Hadley’, Gwen said with a smile before heading to her usual seat.

Could you tell he was excited? Because he was. REALLY excited.
The sixteen year old bounded along the corridor towards the Arithmancy classroom. He was so very ready for this class! So ready that, upon seeing the notice on the noticeboard, he had made sure to have ice cream earlier on. That was how ready he was.
Readjusting his grip on his bag, Alec entered the classroom with a BIG WIDE GRIN spread across his face. It was... a regular autumn day. The usual leaves were changing colour and falling outside but to Alec, this day wasn't too bad. After all, things could be worse, yeah? Like the things that his tea leaves were talking about. ... Yeah... he wasn't going to think about those.
But HEAD OF HOUSE was here. So he grinned in her general direction as he started walking forwards. "Professor!" Pause. "I mean... hello Professor Hadley! Hope you had a great summer!" And, looking around the class, it seemed as if quite a few students were here already. Awesome. That meant that he wasn't too early or too late either. The Hufflepuff headed over towards an empty seat and sat down, placing his bag on his lap. He reached inside his bag and took out his things before placing his bag under his table.
There. Ready.

Arithmancy!
Ella was excited and mostly because Arithmancy meant Hadley and Hadley was one of Ella's favorites. She was also excited because numbers were familiar and she enjoyed messing around with them and learning how they applied to her...even if she messed them up sometimes. Only sometimes, though.
Walking through the door of the classroom, the blonde spotted Hadley and BEAMED! "Hello Professor! It's good to be back!" Nodnod. Really good. Also really good? The many familiar faces Ella spotted already here. Lots of badgers in attendance which was awesome. Proud Captain Ellaphant was proud.
Smiling and giving small waves to those she knew, the sixteen year old settled on a seat near Alec. The boyfriend got a grin and a gentle nudge before she took out her book, parchment, and quill. Yup, she was ready to go.

Haruka entered the Arithmancy classroom and looked around at the other students. There were a lot of older students, and most of them seemed happy to be here. Haruka wasn't very good with numbers, but she decided to attempt the class anyway. You can't learn if you don't try.
Haruka smiled and nodded politely to the Professor. "Hello Professor Hadley, it's nice to meet you! I'm Haruka Kaze!" After introductions, she found a seat and sat down, waiting for the class to start.

"Aloha Professor Hadley!" he said with a smile before turning to the classroom and deciding where to sit. He wasn't TOO super stoked for this class, but he was pretty good at numbers, so he figured he wouldn't be too far behind like all the other classes.
He found two of his fellow Hufflepuffs and decided to sit there. Approaching them with a grin, he waved. "Hiya! It's...Ella andddd...Alec right?" he said with a smile before taking a seat. He'd meant to sign up for Quidditch but figured during his first year back, it'd be better to just focus on class so he hoped she wasn't TOO angry with him...

Susan was excited to go to Arithmancy. This was one of her favorite classes, Sue was pretty sure it was because of the professor and not the actual subject. Susan walked into class and saw Professor Hadley sitting on her desk. "Hello professor,how are you today?" Susan went over and took a seat near Min. "Hey Min." Sue gave Min a small wave and a smile and pulled out her notebook.

"You know, I never got around to telling you how immensely proud I am of your efforts last term." She really did mean that too, which also meant that she expected more from the girl this term even.

Once it seemed as if most of the students had taken their seats, Josephina slid casually off her desk and smiled around at the students, pleased to see several new students present.
She casually flicked her wand at the door to close it and then turned her attention at the class. "Morning everyone! For those of your who don't know, I'm Professor Hadley and I've been teaching Arithmancy here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the past nine years." Enough time to complete one nine year cycle. "There are several things you should know before we begin; Arithmancy IS a challenging subject, I won't deny it, and sadly there are many witches and wizards out there today who remain woefully ignorant about the subject and seem proud of this fact. They won't admit if they struggled with charms, but have no problems admitting that they were terrible at Arithmancy. However, being successful at Arithmancy can open one up to many prestigious career opportunities." She paused and allowed the students to relish at the possibilities. "Generally speaking, Arithmancy is the magical art or science which reveals the mysteries of numbers. However, in the modern sense, Arithmancy is much more than just predictions or a divinatory tool. Numbers are, you see, some of the most magical and mystical spells you will learn, in fact. Which to demonstrate their power, we'll start with a very simple activity. Think of an even number. Write it down, if you must, but don't tell anyone your number." ooc: whoops! Went to donate blood and it took a little longer than expected! But we're good now <3 |

Cheerful Hadley was cheerful! It was nice seeing her in such good spirits. Ella couldn't help but smile when she was around someone in such a good mood. It was definitely a nice way to be greeted.
Ella was drumming her fingers on her desk, trying not to stare at her boyfriend, when they were joined by a familiar face. Ohhhh! She'd met this boy at the opening feast, yeah? His name was...Tucker? Yeah, Tucker. She knew this because the boy had said he was going to try out. Oh yeah, she remembered. The blonde gave him a curious look before smiling and waving at the boy. Nope, she wasn't mad. A little disappointed, maybe, but not mad.
And then class was starting. The sixteen year old listened quietly, scribbling things down every now and again. And then it was time to pick a number and Ella squeezed her eyes shut.
Right, she had it.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Eliza Neladara Dawnsel Fifth Year | Well she had to agree with the professor there. Arithmancy was tricky sometimes. Not really with the whole using your name and adding it up for things way, but the other things like decoding and curse breaking. That stuff was tough as nails, but she wasn't too worried about it today. Nope. Today was excellent.
She wrote down her number in her notebook and covered it with her hand.

Bay had been a little apprehensive about this class but the fact that it was being taught by her Head of House made her feel tons better! She had slipped into class with only a nod to the Professor and not a moment to soon either because Professor Hadley started just as soon as she was in her seat.
Numbers? She was pretty good at math but what did numbers have to do with magic? Guess we shall find out! An even number huh?
The 11 year old thought for a while and then had her number. Her lucky number as it were.

Th Professor beaming back at her caused her to beam even MORE. See? Even she thought it was a brilliant day!! It was though. There was no snow outside as yet, the birds were still singing and there was still ice-cream down in the kitchen--
Say what now?
Lex froze at her seat for a moment, completely taken aback by the last bit spoken. Finally it hit her; the Professor was saying nice things about her efforts last term. She remembered last term really well, it was filled with her being off by one number and when she finally got it right it wasn't exactly something she wanted to hear--like that thing about marriage and relationships. How about no? "Thanks Professor! Glad to know I'm not completely lost in this subject!" GRIN. There was hope after all.
Then she took her seat and got real comfy juuuuust in case. Lex became a little more than suspicious when Professor Hadley went into her Arithmancy speech. Those usually came before something unmistakably difficult but see...it was...it was just...picking a number? SHE COULD DO THAT!!
10
Because that's how many chocolate frogs she had left. Nod.

Nigel did not really know where she was going with this. But Nigel would play along. He thought of the age he was a couple months ago. Fourteen. That is an even number.
Nigel wrote his number on a piece of paper and waited for class to continue.

| curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog Oh, this was super easy. Tucker had two lucky numbers - one was odd, and one was even. Perfect! He smiled and pulled out a piece of parchment and ink. Dipping his quill in the ink, he quickly scribbled his number on a piece of parchment then folded it so it was away from prying eyes.

| *continues on* YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Seeeeee! Numbers weren't that bad. Or at least the part of picking an even number wasn't that bad.
After studying everyone's faces and once it seemed like everyone had an even number in mind, she continued. "Good, good. So with that even number, double this number. Add twelve to that total."
She waited a moment for them to calculate this, before giving them the next step. "Then divide that new total by 4" |

She wasn't about to start whining. Not yet. For now things were sticking to simple math. Waaaait but she needed to get this all down and she didn't think she should ask the Professor to continue.
Lex quickly scribbled the number she had thought of onto her parchment and began going through the additions and such as the woman spoke. Let's see...they'd be doubling...and adding aaaaand dividing too. Lex's quill was busy making scratches on her parchment and she was humming just a bit.
It made things go by faster.
Finally her quill came to stop and it was time to go over her calculations. Just to make sure they weren't off by one.
Seemed legit.

Oh...they were starting. And moving rather fast too.
After taking a seat, Beezus turned all her attention to Professor Hadley and listened to what she was saying. Introductions and all that... What was Arithmancy and those ignorant wizards who were proud of not knowing enough about the subject. Pity for them, right? Arithmancy was an amazing subject even though it had quick ways of making her head hurt. And she was glad that her ignorance had been lifted at the earliest time possible.
Quill and parchment out. Since they were going to have a simple activity.
A number....A number...any EVEN number. She wrote it down.
Double it, add twelve then divide the total by four. Copy that.
Oooooooooh. Shifty.
