Dominic breathed a sigh of relief that his calculations were correct - not that he expected anything less but occasional errors happen. And now he had to... wait, what?! Read aloud the textbook explanation?! Stepping off towards the professor's desk, he picked up her textbook to borrow (it was more convenient than him walking back to his desk to get his which was of course still in his bag) and flipped to the page concerning explanations of family name numbers.

Eight.

Placing his index finger over the number, he began to read it aloud. "Eight: You inherit an attitude about money and power that will cause you to seek recognition in business and finance. Your family name brings you the qualities of leadership, organization, a high value placed on success, competency, and doing a job well, as well a possibly inflated ego."

Leadership? Yes. She founded a SCHOOL! Inflated ego? Possibly; for the love of all things GOLD she prided herself in accepting ALL students, regardless of background.

Closing the book and passing it over to one of the other three students to read from if they desired, Dom looked up at Shackleton (and the rest of the class) to speak. "Well yes, I do think that this explanation matches what I know of Helga. As one of the four founders who prided herself in hardwork, she is one to place her efforts into an Organization like Hogwarts, for two things. Fame and power. She is well known for founding one of the four houses here, but much more than that, she placed the value on the students that everyone should succeed. She wanted to accept all witches and wizards into Hogwarts; to place them under her care and ensure them to be competent out in the wizarding world. Which of course, would probably lead to a minor inflated head too, I'd think."
