Numerological properties of the world around us. And for what use??? What purpose did that serve? Maeve was listening quietly, trying desperately to pay attention ... when she heard Aaron mention cursebreaking. Wait, cursebreaking dealt with Arithmancy too?? Her aunt never talked about the numbers aspect of it? Did that mean that her aunt was knowledgeable in THIS subject as well? Yet it was her mama who was the Ravenclaw; weren't Ancient Runes and Arithmancy like Ravenclaw based subjects with all the abstract thinking they seemed to involve?
"Maeve Walsh." She stated, because while Maeve was her middle name it was the name she went by and no sense in stating her first name. The professor could look it up on her records if needed. "Doesn't it come from the Greek words Arithmos and Manteia, which mean Divination by Numbers? So by definition, Arithmancy is a method of predicting the future." Apparently taking Latin as an extracurricular paid off. Except had Maeve been listening more closely, she'd have heard that's practically was what her peers had stated, minus mentioning of the Greek words.
