"Well done, Miss Hollingberry," she smiled as she cast a quick Geminio Charm on the girl's parchment, and transferred her work to the board as a prime example. "For those struggling with what I'm expecting for this part of the lesson, I've copied Miss Hollingberry's work up on the board for you to use an example." A smile flickered over toward the young Gryffindor as Fina then resumed to wandering around the room.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Not that Kurumi wasn’t flattered that Professor Hadley was using her work as an example for her classmates to follow if they were struggling, it was more of being singled out that startled her. She remembered her first year during Muggle Studies when she had drawn a rough sketch of a baseball field and labeled the various stick figures in their given positions. Professor Zookara had blown that up as well for people to look at as a reference, and she had wanted to crawl under the table and hide.
The desire hadn’t changed.

And to do this, you must add together the values from each word to get a final value for that sentence. Again, remember, do not reduce." She reiterated the last bit sternly, once more, because she knew she always emphasized the reduction in any previous calculation they've done for Arithmancy. This was different.
Locking her gaze on her parchment, but pretty sure she felt eyes trying to burn their way through the back of her head, Kurmi picked up her quill again and started working on the next set of calculations. It wasn’t exactly a sentence that popped into her mind, but Professor Hadley had said anything they wanted, and she hoped that that included proverbs.
Oh! Two 7’s! That was a good sign, right? Seven was one of the most powerful magical numbers, so having them two of them in her final result meant something, yes?
