CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE MAGICAL PROPERTIES OF 2 & 3

Belonging to the Lucky Primes group, three is a Prime number produced by complex elimination methods called "Sieves." Some of its properties are magical and mystic. Contrasting it with two, the major difference is that although three is a completely new number in every sense of the word, two remains the only even magical number. Other differences are as follows:

Early Wizards associated incomprehensible or unexplainable things with evil and three is considered the superstitious or demonic number mainly due to the fact that no creature on earth walks on three legs, therefore, three is usually related to superstition and creatures considered low by wizards such as house elves while two is related to sweetness and friendship and equality of two opposite beings.

While three depicts that to make a successful relation, three things are needed: love, care and compassion, two depicts how true friendship can exist divinely between only two people and the skill of successful socializing with others.

Three is also associated with learning that differs from our usual method of textbook reading but through life experiences, effort and struggle. Two, on the other hand, depicts the relation between master and scholar and exhibits how successful understanding of life and feelings is acquired through a bond of two i.e. teacher and learner.

*Many relate three with good-luck, wealth and even treasure while two portrays bloodshed, bad luck, disunion, differences and opposites, for instance, good and evil, black and white, male and female, dark and light, union and separation.

*While three depicts that three beings can more successfully accomplish a task, two exhibits the need of love and unity between two to accomplish something.

*Two may be considered feminine, sensitive, and delicate whereas three is considered the opposite – strong, impervious and robust.

*The creativity of the number 3 can be seen in the divisions of a human where three things make us whole: mind, body, and spirit, whereas two represents how two things make us whole and successful i.e. feelings and actions.

The best example that can fully explain the contrast between the magical properties of 2 and 3 is the fight between Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter. Lord Voldemort believed two to be the more powerful number as he considered two things could help him achieve his task: mind and power. Whereas, his opponent believed in three things: love, magic and courage, in other word, the powers of the magical number 3. [/B]

Jessica stopped just as abruptly as she had begun. Her right hand was sweaty and aching from the constant scribbling. She put down her quill and after a quick look at her essay, picked it up again, this time in her left hand. It was a great advantage, being able to use both hands. She paused and took several deep breaths. This essay seemed worse than before, but what could she do? She had forgotten each and every thing they had been taught and discussed in class. Holding her head pensively in her hands, she placed the parchment on top of her old one and stared idly and unhappily at it. In her mind she could already picture Professor Dainsie informing her that she had flunked every test. She played lazily with her quill and, with her cramped right hand, feverishly began to correct her spelling mistakes.

Finally, she laid down her quill and almost upset her inkpot on the parchment. To avoid any drastic accident, she screwed the lid even tighter and gazed moodily at her essay.

OOC – Sorry, but I edited my essay. I hope no one minds, but it just didn’t seem right.

P.S: Professor, how do we get to know our marks?
