| | | Arithmancy Lesson 1 Professor Fox opened the Arithmancy classroom and stepped in. He conjured a large box to appear on the instructor's desk at the front of the room. He then removed a small, old wooden box and set it near the front of the desk. Fox wrote silently on the board at the front: Applied Arithmancy: Spell numerization We will be continuing using concepts covered in last year's courses. This term we will be applying the theory we learned last term directly to curse breaking. New Students: If you are unfamiliar with the matereial covered last term, simply try to keep up. This material will be new for everyone, so try your best to learn as we go and interject your ideas and opinions when asked. I will not deduct points for incorrect answers, and questions are always welcome. However, we stay on topic in my classroom, and I don't tolerate rule breakers or class clowns.
Having written that, he turned his attention to the now empty seats and waited for everyone to begin arriving. |

Meghan shook her head. This was more complicated than she thought. Her head was starting to hurt. She looked back at the numbers 080. But it stumped her as much as ever.

"OHH!" Jara said as her classmate Tonks had said her theory. She hit her head with her hand "Why didn't I think of that?"

Ashley looked around at the other possibilities and explanations being thrown out to Professor Fox.Just in case she took her self-inking quill and began scratching down all these other possibilities just to keep track of them, taking care to listen for Professor Fox to chime in.

Brian raises his hand, "Sir, would it mean.... 0= change, 8=movment, 0=nothing? That's what the spell seemed to do, it stopped her from moving." he said nervoisly.

Amber joy fiddled with the numbers before her, jotting notes as she went, and muttering to herself " 28 is human movement... that is what it affects. 080 changes fluidity into nothing, kind of binding... that is what it does 527... activated by touch or human magic? 4... that is the kind of spell... 4? location? hmmm.... 9 is immediate or short lived..."

The girl's head was spinning again. Heck, worse than that, the class was going at such a fast rate, that she felt like banging her head on the nearest object she could find.
"If 0 stands for decay and change and 8 stands for navigation, then one would assume that the 0's decay is acting like an offensive spell while the 8 means locating the person who tried to open the box," Alex spoke, rather hesitantly this time. Mind, it was worth a try.
"And perhaps that the 0's on either side make the effect of the curse stronger than usual," she added, as an afterthought.

Davina raised her hand again."I think that the core or middle/center of the number would represent what curse the object had on it or the type of spell that would be activated."Davina said uncertainly

Meghan put her hand in the air for one last sad attempt, "It affects a humans movement or their awareness to their movements..." she trailed off at the end.

Aurore continued "I mean...2 numbers right...so it affects two things? or maybe one thing of the 2 numbers..." she trailed off.

Davina raised her hand."Sir does it have to do with reasoning and understanding.Seeing that both numbers possess these equality and both qualities are similar.?" She then thought further but if the spell is focussin on movement or lack of,in relation to this spell then maybe it has to do with the lack of human movement

"I think the 8 represents that the spell hits exactly the core of the cursed object," Jara said trying to think. "And it stops human movement," she said, simply repeating the words of her fellow classmates. Oh when will you ever understand this yourself?
