Anna narrowed her eyes as she studied Professor Shackleton. The Arithmancy professor didn't exactly have the greatest luck when it came to health, and the way she kept drinking water and acting suspicious worried Anna a bit. At the end of last school year, Anna and Professor Vindictus had practically saved Professor Shackleton's life---using chocolate syrup, of all things. Anna worried that the professor might be secretly having additional health problems now. As she thought about the professor and her health status, Anna jotted down a few notes about the information that can be gained from a person's middle name.

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Well, professor, judging by the manners in which we arrived at our Cornerstones and Capstones, I believe it might be helpful to add together the numerical value of each letter in our middle name, finally arriving at a reduced single digit," she said. She honestly had no clue what they'd needed to do to arrive at the number for their middle name. Anna had just taken a wild guess, of course. "Or maybe, since this name is in the middle, we add together the single digits we came to when we found our Cornerstones and Capstones."
