So, nodding at her, the Gryffindor quickly began calculating the new version...with Josh instead of Joshua.
Well...now this was way better. Yup, better. It looked like it did fit better as he knew himself. But for some reason he was not feeling like he got the right number anyway. Because...because...eh. He knew why he was feeling like that Joshua was his birth name. Josh was only the shortened form of it that people liked to call him. So, the true name was Joshua, no Josh.
THEN SCRATCH IT ALL!!
Sighing with anger Josh scratched all the words and numbers on the parchment all in a sudden
And what the Arithmancy professor said next did not help him at all. Innermost desires? Innermost? Desires? Seriously? Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the woman, disappointment could be read all over his face. ''But professor, that makes it only worse. I don't want to be a person whose innermost desire is THIS...'' he waved the original parchment wildly in his hand at this point. ''...i would prefer jumping off the Gryffindor tower!''
And here he might be whining over the number yet...the class was going on with the next question Hadley had asked. But, Josh had no apetite left for the class right now for one of his favourite classes had just betrayed him. Was it just her or did Josh Carter seem actually upset over his number? Staring at the sixth year as he was raising a stink about his numbers, she frowned. "Maybe you can't see it now, but your heart's desire isn't even your life purpose or anything." Why were they arguing over this? "Besides, I do believe you're a Gryffindor, Mister Carter. Which in my experience, Lions do like to be in control of their life events. Including, of course, matters of the heart." With this, she gave a look over to Evelyn. The interpretations in the textbook were generalized. Surely Josh was aware of this by now? Quote:

Now for the other things. Rebecca didn't know how to answer the question, so to say, but she knew what her's were so she wrote it down.
Now all Rebecca had to do was wait for Professor Hadley to check over her work... "Good job," she said as she noted the young Hufflepuff had gone ahead and looked up her first vowel, capstone and cornerstone already. Quote:

She could have done something worse! Like..forget how to spell her name.
Pfft, not like that had ever happened before.
Moving the parchment from out of Evelyn's face, Destiny slammed it down on her desk, and picking up her quill, she began crossing out all of her WRONG work. All that writing..FOR NOTHING! And now she was going to have to write even MORE..
Meh. SPOILER!!: Destiny's parchment! The Heart's Desire Number Destiny Hekate Shepard
-5--9-- -5-1-5 --5-1--

1+3 =
4
FOUR (4): Your desire is to have a plan and meet life in an organized manner. You wish to be practical about everything you do, loving your appointment book, agendas, setting clear boundaries, and knowing the expectations of all concerned. You like to know the plan and be in control - you don't want surprises along the way! You can be a great facilitator, bringing out the best in each individual by building a synergy between people. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are practical in emotional attachments and like to keep things under control. You may not seem romantic or spontaneous, but your planning is designed to thrill and delight others!

11
1+1 = 2/11
TWO (2): Above all else, you want harmony no matter what it takes. You can't tolerate conflict and thus, don't want to lead. You want peace and to be supportive. You are useful as a negotiator or arbitrator because you are sensitive to others and can make them feel good about themselves. You can speak the truth in a manner that causes one to feel supported instead of demoralized. In matters of the heart and friendship, giving is what you do best, sometimes too much so. Your appreciation of others can make you forget about yourself! Criticism can hurt you to the very core. Always happier paired than alone, you are the most devoted companion.
ELEVEN (11/2): Visionary; inspirational; may have genius intelligence; seems more spiritual than others; dresses in an artistic, original, and inventive way; unconstrained; idealistic; has a zest for life; creative and innovative; intense; ability to manage details; super-sensitive; intuitive. You may seem overly dependent on your mate in an unhealthy way. You can also be seen as tense, depressed, or high-strung. Learn how to speak Hadley language.
I have to find my shoelaces.
And it still didn't make any sense!
Either did that question Professor Hadley asked.
O_O Oh good! Destiny realized she had a master number! See, she wasn't that bad at this number stuff! "Much better," yup. Quote:

Other students had already answered the question so Fallon turned to the book and quickly wrote down hers so that she had it handy.
Fallon read over them. Yeah...arithmancy was really starting to scare her now. She always seemed to find some grain of truth within it. Nodding in approval as she passed over the seventh year's work who had already worked out the three number meanings, she moved over to look at more student's work. Quote:
Originally Posted by Jason Potter Weasley William hopefully figured it out. William- I=9, I=9 A=1 = 19, then 1+ 9= 10= 1. Adam- A-1 and A-1= 2 Montcenaggio O- 6. E-5. A-1 I-9 O-6=27 =9 1 + 2 + 9= 12 and 1+ 2=3. William's heart Desire is 3.
First Vowel - I (9): Highlights a deep emotional nature, a humanitarian approach, a global consciousness, creativity, a highly developed intuitive skill, and the desire to help and heal.
Cornerstone: W: You have intuition, determination and a strong sense of purpose. You like to be involved in many activities. You need change and like to meet new people. You have charisma. You provide stimulating company. You have excellent self expression and are very creative. There is, however, a tendency to procrastinate and cut corners.
Capstone: M: You are energetic and hardworking with a touch of the workaholic. You are efficient and do not tire easily. You likely have a strong physical constitution. You are domestic and want financial security. You are tolerant and can endure hardships. You have to be more patient with others. Oh good. The young lion had figured it out; she knew he would, even if he didn't write out his calculations clearly as he could, he had the right answer. "Very good," she said approvingly of his work. Quote:
Originally Posted by Quick Quotes Quill What? What? WHAT? Come on… I loved this number!, Gwen thought, getting a bit upset. However, she was more angry because she did something wrong, rather than because she had to ‘give up’ the number.
This time, Gwen frowned while reading the meaning of her heart’s desire number. Did I make another mistake? This sounds worse than the first one! As I think about it, I guess the heart’s desire number that describes me best is… 1? Yeah… how come I didn’t get that?
Moving on now… Gwen decided to start finding out the other 3 things: First Vowel, Cornerstone, Capstone. Now, let’s see how wrong these turn out…
And now I should see what they mean… Oh good; the young Ravenclaw fixed her calculations. Nodding approvingly at her new work and then her first vowel, cornerstone, and capstone, Hadley beamed subtly before moving on. Quote:

Maybe it hadn't been such a good idea to stay up late at night... He heard what the professor was saying but not much was processing through his mind. He liked the subject, yes. But right now he wanted..what did he want? food? ooh yeah food! hmm wonder what's for dinner?
The first year let his mind wander towards dinner time. He was getting hungry now. His thoughts were interupted when he heard the scraping of feathers on parchment and he looked around. Wait, they were writing? What were they writing?! Daichi tried to look at the parchment from his neighbour... cornerstone first vowel and capstone? They had to calculate them? but how? Daichi dared to look again and saw a textbook lying open on chapter 25. He smirked to himself as he grabbed his own textbook. Maybe he could find out for himself.
Daichi placed his quill down and wondered if he did the right thing. Was it just her or were there more first years in the third lesson than usual? Perhaps they had decided to take a sneak peek at Arithmancy classes for their future? No matter though; Fina nodded at the Slytherin's work as he seemed to have an understanding for how to find these three numbers. SPOILER!!: All of you who answered the question Quote:

"You need to look at a particular letter in your first name, whether vowel or consonant as instructed and compare it to the number and description given for that letter. For example you look to the last letter of your first name for the capstone," he answered lowering his hand and feeling a bit better about his answer this time. Quote:
Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Kurumi smiled as Professor Hadley explained about the numbers that had just calculated and found it fascinating that perhaps these numbers could provide a deep look inside themselves and a peek into parts of themselves that they didn't even know existed yet. How fascinating...
Kurumi's had shot up once more when Professor Hadley asked a question to the class. "The capstone is found by examining the last letter of your first name. Your full first name. It tells you about your capacity for and philosophy toward finishing projects that you start." Quote:
Originally Posted by Starbreeze It was a good day when Professor Hadley walked past you after looking over your work, because, of course, it meant you had done it correctly. When she didn't go away, however, that meant a headache. A really, really, really big headache. And lots of numbers floating around. Eino flipped through the pages until he reached chapter twenty five. Blah, blah, blah, first vowel, capstone, and cornerstone. There they were. Tracing the description with his finger he raised his hand then said: "The cornerstone reveals our manners and how we approach and deal with obstacles and opportunities. And... It's the first letter of the first name." So this one didn't have to do with vowels? Well, it didn't matter since the first letter in his name was a vowel. He shrugged and waited for the Professor's reply. Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack Nika stared at her calculations then back at Hadley as she addressed the class. So does this mean that Nika just desires, somewhere deep down-- and I mean DEEP, DEEP down, to be organized or something? Hmm... Nika opened her eyes widely as she listened to the question. WAIT. What was she asking exactly...? "The capstone is the last letter of your first name. It determines your thoughts and how well you're able to finish tasks or ambitions that you have started?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Saraie Caroline flipped through her book to Chapter 25, and read her first vowel, cornerstone, and capstone.
She smiled sligtly now that sounded more like her, then that other thing they just did. As others started to answer she raised her hand. "You can find the cornerstone, by the looking at the first letter of your first birth name." Quote:
Originally Posted by Snape'sGirlThru&Thru Ah, here we go. Now they were getting to the easy ones.
Vashti raised her hand. "The First Vowel is just that - the first vowel in your first name. It's related to the Heart's Desire Number because it's also supposed to show something about your deeper self, as well as how you naturally handle life." So were they supposed to "calculate" their First Vowel, Cornerstone, and Capstone numbers now? She glanced around and it seemed most of the others weren't working on it yet, so she left her quill alone for now. Quote:

Ness decided to just leave it, She didn't want to interrupt the Proffessor too much. Ness just nodded in understandment, and smiled at the Proffessor. "Thank you Proffessor!" said Ness politely.
Ness listened to the Proffessors next instruction, she then looked in her textbook hoping to find some answers. She wasn't exactly sure what she was looking for, but the Proffessor said to turn to chapter twenty five, so Ness did so, She then listened to some students answers and then she finally got the idea. Ness raised her hand and waited her turn ."Proffessor the first letter of your first name isThe Cornerstone . It gives you an idea of your character, especially the way in which yoo would approach opportunities and challanges." said Ness. Nessie then took out her parchment and started to copy out, from the textbook her first vowel, her cornerstone and her capstone. Quote:

So... her first vowel would be E, her cornerstone H, and the capstone A, weren't they? Quote:
Originally Posted by Yourenodaisy So the Y's were vowels? Sweet!
Since Hadley wanted them to define one of the terms, she studied them for a moment, and then raised her hand. "The First Vowel." she said with a little pause before continuing on. "Well, It's the first vowel in your name." That part was easy, but now for the difficult part. "And, um, its um, how you approach life?" Quote:
Originally Posted by dragon_star Really? Wha? How?? Savannah made a chart on her paper to make sure.
Huh...okay...guess she was wrong then. Y is a seven and U is a three. Ugh...
Savannah recalculated her heart number.
There. That is surely correct.
"The cornerstone is the first letter of your given first name. It shows how you behave towards...things..." Quote:
Originally Posted by Herminny Chloe had always found arithmancty rather tough with all the caculations. Still she was determined to succeed and work her hardest.
Alright, now for the current question, Chloe raised her hand high and responded, "The corerstone is the first letter of your first name and it tells how you react to certain things". Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Blahh. They were moving on now, which meant more Arithmancy.

She skimmed the page on the first vowel, capstone, and cornerstone.
Wait. What? ...
It was seriously that easy? With her eyes still on the textbook, as she was trying to make double sure she was reading it correctly, she raised her hand and said, "For the first vowel, you just...well, look at the first vowel in your first name." ... "...at birth," she added, just because that's what it said in the book. "The first vowel just sort of tells you more about your inner self." Er, maybe. "...and how you approach things." Fina nodded as some of them seemed to be talking of the same calculation whilst others mentioned one of the three that hadn't been mentioned. No matter though because all three were mentioned at some point, which was good enough. "Precisely that. The first vowel is the first vowel in your first name, Cornerstone is the first letter of your first name, and Capstone in the last letter of your first name. No specific calculations needed."
But before Fina could carry on further with the lesson, the Ravenclaw Captain caught her eye... Quote:

And he had no control over his hand it was just writing in his notes. I want some ice cream. he thought as his notes were starting to look more like a disaster sight. But really it was quite purty. 'maybe some chocolate ice cream... With Sprinkles!' Jacob felt like nararting his entire life, that might be fun. 'He sat there in the boring class, thinking of how little importance this made in his life... suddenly Jacob had the urge to burst out of the class and go get some ice cream......... okay, I'm bored again
Why was there so many things that bored him about this class. There had to be dancing monkey's or something to keep his mind occupied. SPOILER!!: Jacob's Awesome notes of AWESOME! CLICK!  JAKOB JACOB BARTHOLOMEW BLUNT
(1+6)+(1+6+6+5)+(3) <- My name turned into numbers O.o
(7)+(1+8)+(3)
19
1+9=10
1+0=1 <-I'm Number One
First Vowel is the first vowel DUH!
Conerstone is the stone in the corner Something to do with your first name letter and ice cream... delicious ice cream... oh wait that's cold stone So Mine is G!...............YO!
Capstone is last letter o' your first name...... Why am I still taking this class. JACOB IS BORED... Why is Jacob writing down Jacob's thoughts... why Jacob talk in third person? And Where are the Dancing monkeys? Thankfully the captain hadn't caused physical harm to himself or anyone nearby just yet. But it seemed like he was about to maybe fall off the chair and into a sleep. Huh? What was that about dancing monkeys on his parchment? And why did it seem like Jacob was writing a novel on his parchment ; and auto-biography perhaps?
"Captain Blunt," Fina said suddenly. "Perhaps you'd like to share with us what your special letters reveal about you? Perhaps maybe even dressed up in a monkey suit? Do a little dance for us and act it out?" ooc: yea, sorry about not continuing this sooner. *hides* Work and stuff had me distracted <3
