Kurumi had to admit she was a little disappointed that it wasn't as complicated as she had made it out to be in her head, with whatever numbers having some sort of association with the particular placement within their name. Then again, Professor Hadley hadn't actually address that part of her question at all, so maybe the Gryffindor could just continue to look at this under the illusion of these thoughts for a little longer. Yep.
Picking up her quill again, Kurumi set it against her parchment and began her calculations. It was times like these that Kurumi was rather grateful not to have been given a middle name at birth - it just wasn't something that people did in Japan due to the historical significance not being there.
SPOILER!!: Kurumi's calculations
NOTE: Using the Chaldean Method of numbering. Double digit numbers hold significance!

Character Number
Also known as Expression Number or Destiny Number. It is an element of the Core that describes your life's purpose, what you must live up to in this lifetime, your opportunities for success, the qualities and manner of living you must develop, what you are destined for, the target you are aiming for in life, and the kind of work that would be a natural expression of your Life Path.
K U R U M I
2 6 2 6 4 1
2+6+2+6+4+1 = 21
2+1 = 3
21: This number is symbolized by the picture of "the Universe", and it is also called "the Crown of the Magi". It is a number of ad*vancement, honors, elevation in life and general success. It means victory after long initiation and tests of determination. It is a for*tunate number of promise if it appears in any connection with future events.
H O L L I N G B E R R Y
5 7 3 3 1 5 3 2 5 2 2 1
5+7+3+3+1+5+3+2+5+2+2+1= 39
3+9 = 12 = 1+2 = 3
39: This is a number of thoughtful deduction, retrospection, and mental superiority over one's fellows, but as it seems to belong completely to the mental plane, the persons it represents, are likely to put all material things on one side — not because they have to, but because they wish to do so. For this reason it is neither for*tunate nor unfortunate, for either depends on the mental outlook of the person it represents. It can be all powerful, but it is just as often indifferent according to the will or desire of the person.
12: The symbolism of this number is suffering and anxiety of mind. It is also indicated as "the Sacrifice" or "the Victim" and generally foreshadows one being sacrificed for the plans or intrigues of others.
Character number: 3+3= 6
6: Your mission in life is to serve. Your purpose is to care for family and loved ones, all while using your adoration of beauty and community to create closeness in life around you. Learning to express altruism and giving comfort to others will bring you closer to your destiny. You're destined for nurturing and beautifying. Love with balance.
Kurumi wasn't entirely sure if the fact that her last name produced two compound numbers had an significance or not, but Kurumi noted the meaning of both of them just the same. Maybe the first implied a more mysterious and deeper meaning than the second one...or the other way around... Kurumi clearly liked making these things more complicated than they really were.
Glancing around, Kurumi wondered if any of the younger students (PENELOPE?!) needed assistance.
