"Uh, the personal day number tells you....tells you..." Rapunzel was really guessing now, with her hand up in the air. "er, it can predict how your day will go? Or what would be a good activity to do that day...?"

She hoped that might be close maybe? Oh Merlin, if that was really wrong, she was going to be embarassed.

Anna raised her hand. "The personal year and personal month numbers tell us what paths our lives will take each month of the year. They tell us what we should and should not expect and what opportunities we have based on what month of the year we are on. Based on that information, I think the Personal Day will tell us what to expect in our lives based on what day of the week we are on," she said.

Macadrian listened to the young lady speak, taking in the information as her stomach began growling, "Yes, what you've mentioned it all true; however, it doesn't quite answer my question. But thank you for your effort. Keep thinking."

"Also true, but irrelevant to my question. Try thinking about it more specific to the Personal Day numbers."

"Hmm. You all are bringing up true information from the text, but you're missing the point of my question."

"Precisely correct! Three points to you. You approached the question exactly as I intended for you all to do."

"Yes, you're right. Though your answer is a bit vague. One point for your effort." Though where is the effort for my cookies!?

"Both of you are quite right. Three points apiece! Nice work."

Macadrian paced the front of the class, munching on a licorice wand, before asking, "Now, some of your classmates mentioned this, but I want everyone to be able to hear and understand this concept - when does the Personal Day number have a significant influence on your life?"

Astrid raised her hand again and said, "When your Personal Day Number matches your Life Path Number or your Soul Number. This is when its subtle influence is added to what's already a strong influence in your life."

Cale raised his hand again, "The Personal Day number changes every day, going from numbers 1-9, and tells you the aspects of your life you'll be most successful in that day. So, really, the number is in affect every single day, but like Astrid said not a lot of people even notice the influence it has on their lives."

Whoa whoa, Rapunzel's guess had been correct?! Maybe sitting in the front had its perks!

She smiled to herself and then raised her hand in an attempt to answer the new question. "Um, if you add the calender date to the number of your personal month...and it matches your Life Path Number or your Soul Path Number...uh," she glanced at her textbook one more time, "then it like, magnifies the numbers' influence....?"

She was starting to sound like a Valley Girl, the way she ended everything in a question. Oops.

Anna raised her hand. "When your Personal Day Number has a significant influence when it matches your Life Path Number or your Soul Number," she said.

Professor Vindictus was getting a bit bored with the numbers talk since it had nothing to do with Quidditch score keeping nor stats in the league. So he began fiddling with a celophane candy wrapper that was in his pocket.

"All of you are correct! Three points apiece. Very good."

From behind her, Macadrian heard an incessant crinkling noise. She turned around slowly to face Max and whispered is a low hiss, "Must you do that? It's a bit distracting. Just a few more minutes and then we'll get to your part. Promise."

Turning back to her class, Professor Shackleton queried, "How do we calculate the Personal Day numbers?"

Astrid held her hand up high and said, “The correct calculation to find your Personal Day Number is to add the number of the calendar day to the number of your Personal Month.”

"Do what?" Max asked and continued making noises with the wrapper. "You told me to be here, so I'm here."

Anna raised her hand and said, "We add the number of the calendar day to the number of your personal month to get your Personal Day Number."

Cale raised his hand, a bit disappointed that he hadn't understood her last question. Sigh. "You calculate the Personal Day numbers by adding the number of the calender day to your Personal Month number," he explained.

"You add the number of that calendar day to the number of your Personal Month..." Gwen said, her hand in the air. She trailed off a little as Professor Vindictus whispered something back at Professor Shackleton. Tres strange.

"To get the Personal Day Number, just add the number of the calender day to the number of your personal month," Punz answered quickly, raising her hand. She'd just seen this in the textbook two seconds ago...but ooh, was that candy? She turned her head to notice Professor Vindictus' crinkly wrapper sounds. Chocolate Frogs Chocolate Frogs!

Qaz sat quietly in the back of the room...as much as she loved this class, she would rather be flying around on a carpet, as she did in the last flying class....

Patricia sat idly, listening to everyone speaking almost at the same time. All this talk of numbers and stuff was not as interesting as transfiguration... She lifted her hand anyway and answered the question, hopefully she could be heard over the chatter and the odd crinkling noise coming from Professor Vindictus. "You get it by adding the number of the calender day to the number of your personal month, maam."

Between this class and Divination, Patricia had her work cut out for her. Giving herself a mental shake to wake herself up, she straightened her back and concentrated on the teacher.

Rachel jotted down everything that was being said and raised her hand to answer the professor's next question. "The Personal Day number is calculated by adding the number of the calendar day to the Personal Month number." She looked in puzzlement as Professor Shackleton and her Head of House whispered to each other. What's going on?

Nancy was surprised to find that the Flying professor, Professor Vindictus was standing in the shadows of the classroom obviously discussing something with Professor Shackleton. Although, nosy as she was, Nancy tried to eavesdrop on their conversation she wasn't able to understand a word of what they were saying so with a sigh she went down the aisle to sit somewhere in the middle of the classroom. What was the Professor Vindictus doing here? Maybe they would do something with brooms later on. A smile flashed across Nancy's face. Yes, that would be fun.

Quickly raising her hand to answer Professor Shackleton's last question Nancy said, "To calculate the Personal Day Number you simply add up the numbers of the current calendar day and your personal month number." At least she thought that was the correct answer.
