Numbers 0-9
0: Emptiness, change, decay, nothing

2: Harmony, unity, relationships, collaboration, duality, humans/human magic
3: Imagination, positivism, playfulness, creative expression, house elves/house elf magic, complex thought
4: Building, formation, hard work, endurance, sober-mindedness, practicality, organization
5: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
6: Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues, stability
7: Analysis, research, solitude, wisdom, spiritual focus, investigative, mysticism, magic
8: Authority, finances, business, success, material wealth, self-mastery, complex thought/reasoning, fluidity
9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy

"Ultimately this list contains the essential characteristics of each of the numbers zero through nine. As such, what might this indicate for a combination of numbers such as 47?" Fina asked. Nice random, two digit number.

Corey was staring at the professor in precisely the way that you did if you thought someone was a bit crazy and might do something weird or interesting if you watched them for long enough. This was supposed to be an introduction?

Luckily he had a grip on the theory, and wasn't this class pretty much all theory?

"Aren't all numbers in Arithmancy reduced except where they're master numbers, Ma'am?" He stuck his hand up and it sort of hovered there a bit.

"So instead of Four and Seven being the numbers to look at, You add them together and you get Eleven, and that is a master number so you don't really need to reduce it again. Well you can, but you have to take into account what Eleven means first, because its like, higher functioning and greater expectation and stuff. Eleven means vision and light aaaand.... being uplifting and inspiring and guiding people and stuff. And not working from a place of selfishness." So it was a bad number for Slytherins.

Other than that, 47 was the number for silver right? And a prime number.
