"Yes, yes, very good!" Fina exclaimed. "Each of your four pinnacles refer to a period in your life. The transition from one pinnacle period to the next is very strong felt, perhaps maybe two years before the actual Pinnacle period changes. Life-altering changes, whether it refer to your job, marriage, kids, will usually occur during the transitional period between pinnacles. Pinnacles are therefore, considered to be long-term. And though you'll all enter the second pinnacle of your life at different times depending on your life path number, I can safely say that ALL of you are in your first pinnacle cycle right now." Because well, none of them were 27 and all or they wouldn't still be Hogwarts students.

"Right then. Can I get one volunteer from each house?" She paused again before adding, "Preferably a sixth or seventh year, but if a younger student feels confident in their knowledge of Pinnacles...You may volunteer too."

Scribbling furiously with his Falcon-feather quill, Roderigo looked up as Professor Hadley requested a volunteer from each house that was either a sixth or seventh year. He looked around, and saw that none of the Ravenclaws had raised their hands yet. He wondered if the Professor was going to help the volunteers discover one of their pinnacles. If that was so, it would be quite embarrassing if he were to have an unfortunate pinnacle. The Spaniard hesitated for a moment, thinking hard. A deep sigh rolled out from his chest and he looked around one more time. Slowly, he placed his quill carefully on the side of his parchment and raised his hand.
"I'll volunteer for Ravenclaw, Professor." He gave a small smile to the Professor.
