Arithmancy Final The desks in the classroom have been neatly arranged so that no two desk are directly adjacent to one another. Professor Fox stands at the front of the classroom, having written the following on the board behind him: Arithmancy, Cumulative Final Contemporary Arithmancy Theory Please write your name, house, year, and student ID (member number) on a piece of parchment before we begin. Students may consult their notes and text before the final begins. [OOC: I will continue this later in the evening, ~9 PM pacific standard time, until then feel free to post, don't spam please.] |
luna walked into the classroom and sat down, she wrote this down on a peice of paper Quote:

Lee entered the room reluctantly but took his place at the back of the classroom. He hadn't attended or at least payed attention in any of these lessons because he really didn't want to since it was Bree's old subject. If he passed or failed this final, it didn't really matter much to Lee. He took a quill and dipped it in his ink well and wrote on a piece of parchment in his hufflepuffish handwriting: Quote:

Erica stepped inside the classroom and waved at Lee in the back. Mouthing a "Good luck!" in his direction, she took a seat next to a sunny window with a nice view of the grounds outside. Fresh air would do her good before the exam started and since she opted to not bring any studying materials with her, she pulled out some parchment and her quill. She wrote the required information on it before turning her attention to the outside and letting her mind wander. Quote:

Nadia sighed and walked inside the classroom feeling shaky. A look around told her people were already over there, sitting quite afar from each other in the separate desk, arranged so to avoid any physical contact. In fact, Nadia did not want to take any risks and sat further away from them, barely registering who were those people. She readied herself taking things from her bag, quill, parchment, etc., and then tried to relax in her seat. Because studing at the very last minute always made her nervous and confused, she restrained from picking up the Arithmancy book in her bag. Now she only waited. Quote:

Xavier walked into the classroom and sat down at the first open desk. Looking up at the board he pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote down on it: Quote:

[B]Shakily, Jessica walked inside the classroom, trembling from head to toe. She felt like vomitting - it was her first exam here at Hogwarts. She tried to recall all that was written in her notes, and only ended up confused and dizzy. Shaking off her nervousness, she slipped in a desk not too far from the other students. She took out a bluish parchment, and dipping her quill deep inside the inkpot, wrote: Quote:

Zelda walked into the class, looking around and trying to make herself feel relaxed. She sat down, looking at the instructions on the board she took out her parchement,Quill and ink and wrote: Name: Zelda Spellman Year: 1st House: Gryffindor Student ID number: 59880 |
luna looked around as the students milled in, noticing nobody she knew she whent back to pursuing her book her lips pressed as she tried to concentrate |
Professor Fox nodded politely to the students, then pulled out some parchment. "Now, I will be asking two types of questions during this final. Oral questions will be questions which students should raise their hand and answer out loud. More points will be given to the first students to answer these. The second type will be essay questions. Each of you should write your answers in your own words. I cannot stress this last part enough. I know what I've already said, I don't need to re-read it. More points will be given to students who write their answers from their own memory and in their own point of view. Points will be deducted for copying other students' answers word for word. If cheating continues, you will be excused, and your final will be invalidated. Students who arrive late may answer all of the previous essay questions they missed." He shuffled his papers, then watched the students. "Now then, the first question is an essay question. Please write your answer on your parchment and wait quietly for the next question... Question 1: essay In your own words, please explain the concept of the zeroeth law of Arithmancy." |
Nadia lowered her eyes to her parchment once the question was up and she started writing. Quote:

Erica pulled the parchment close to her and stared at it for a moment in silence before beginning. The scratching of quill to parchment could clearly be heard for several long moments until she was done with the question. Rereading her answer, she nodded to herself, satisfied with her answer. She placed her quill back on the desk and waited for Professor Fox to continue on with the exam. Quote:

Zelda looked at her parchement, thought anout the answer for a moment and started writing: The Zeroeth law of Arithmancy refers thet spells and curses can be represented by numbers. It is a law that is used in all sorts of magic. Zero is considered to be a powerful number, used while changing codes of spells and curses into normal form. Zero changes all other numbers into identifiable numbers which means that if a number is added or subtracted by Zero, it will remain as it is. The Zeroeth law of Arithmancy can undo any spell. Zero refers to "emptiness" which suggests change and decay. It means, wiht the help of the Zeroeth law we can change or decay every kind of curse or spell. |

Arithmancy Final - Essay On The Zeroeth Law Of Arithmancy Jessica unscrewed her inkpot, dipped in her quill and pressed it to the smooth surface of her parchment. She jotted down the question: "In your own words, please explain the concept of the zeroeth law of Arithmancy," and paused for a moment, concentrating hard on what to write. After a while, she lowered her quill and wrote down the heading in neat, block writing on the top right of her paper. Thinking hard, she began to scribble down anything she knew about The Zeroeth Law of Arithmancy. Quote:

"The next question is also an essay question: "Question 2, essay: In your own words please explain the magical properties of the number 3 and contrast them with the magical properties of the number 2, as we explored them in class." |

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? :help: |
Two questions had passed and none he knew the answer too. He regretted incredibly now for not studying this class or even attending it this year. He simply placed his parchment in his bag along with his quill and ink well. He got up and swung his bag round his shoulders "Sorry sir, I can't do this". He left the classroom without giving the chance for the Professor to answer him back, Lee would just have to put up with a 'T' on his paper. |
Nadia rubbed her temples. She was still not completely convinced with her essay but it would have to do. Now she needed to concentrate on the next, and here it come. Nadia wrote down under a different label... Quote:

Erica's train of thought was momentarily broken when she saw that Lee had up and left the final exam all together. Saddened that her friend couldn't do the exam at all, she sighed and stared at her parchment for a long, silent moment just thinking. Finally, Erica started scribbling down her answer and when she was done, she set her quill down on her desk. There was a very nice looking tree outside the window that looked perfect for sitting under with plenty of shade. What she would give to be there at this moment, she couldn't express enough. Quote:

Professor Fox examined the students. "There will be one more essay question, then I will begin the oral questions. So, the last essay question is the following. "Question 3, essay: Write in your own words the difference between the permenance associated with 7 and the longevity associated with 6." He flipped the pages parchment over and examined the students. He thought this last question would be difficult for a number of them, but their understanding of basics was paramount before they could continue to application. |
Nadia lowered her eyes to the parchment again. Began writing... Quote:

Professor Fox shifted some parchments and looked up at the students. "Those of you not finished with the essay questions may continue writing them at your own pace until the end of the final. We will now begin the oral questions. "Question 4, oral: Can someone please tell me what the magical properties of the number 8 are?" |
Nadia raised her hand, "Eight is a complex number, a composite and represents spells which deal with location and search like four, like an extension of the smaller composite. Four is the number used in the finding, providing the data: latitude-longitude-altitude-time. Similarly, Eight gives detailed data but which deals two set of information and the double of data, and hence eight gives us the information to determine the location of an object in movement, from point A and to B. "Eight is dependant of time and because of its complexity also means super-logical thought or reasoning," she finished out of breath. |
Professor fox nodded. "Yes, very good Ms. Rey. Though I would hesitate to use the term 'complex number' in my classroom. The next oral question is as follows: "Question 5, oral: Please tell me the importance of prime numbers in Arithmancy." |
