What is Arithmancy, really?

..........

Cardigan had to think a little on that one. Well, she knew one thing: It was like Maths, for one thing, with all the numbers and such. That was really all she knew...

Darn.

She needed to study more!! Procrastination is NOT, always, the option!!! Well, she'd just have to put in all she knew about the subject, which was not a lot. Poo...

"Well......for one thing, it uses numbers, and is a lot like the muggle subject Maths, and you can find out a lot about yourself from it." Cadigan said, after raising her head. Sigh. She was never gonna get an OWL or NEWT in this subject!! It was probably very necessary for University or the Ministry of Magic. Any position would probably require an OWL/NEWT in Arithmancy!!! Though, at least it wasn't what she was planning on going to college for: she wanted, currently, to study Herbology, and then work in the Enviromental Protection department of the British ministry. That would be a dream come true!!!
