And even transfiguration. But what about Arithmancy? Sure we can calculate our character numbers or life path numbers, which tell a great deal of information, but how is that practical?"
She knew some students would probably agree there and relate that to muggle math. But it didn't stop her from pressing on. "So what I'm trying to say is that Arithmancy can and is practical. What are some practical uses for Arithmancy, given what you know about the subject? How can we use the orderly, systematic meanings presented in numbers in everyday life?" Well, Cassia hated how she was sitting there like a wallflower linking at what people were saying and raising eyebrows when hearing pieces of info for the first time.It was a good idea after all taking this lesson. But sitting there while doing nothing and saying nothing is so stupid. Professor Hadley may not even know that Cassia was here!
So she ordered herself to think hard in an attempt to say something. She must know anything about numbers and everyday life, Right? Everybody does!
The second-year finally raised her hand and spoke,
"We use numbers all the day ." Eh...That's a start. "
And considering Arithmancy is all about numbers so we might even be practicing it without realizing that." Hopefully she wasn't saying anything that didn't make sense."
For example if we want to calculate time to see how much time is left for something....it's somehow about both numbers and the future.." She said. Well, she couldn't think of any other example.
