Yeah okay she was going to answer the questions, but after everyone else had answered really there was no point after all. Besides she'd only be repeating the same thing over again. Besides this gives her more time to look at her professor and beam. For once Arithmancy was going to be easy! *continues happy dance* YAY! Professor Hadley, you rule! No hard numbers for Nika! She could get up and sing and dance and hug professor Hadley all in one!

Sticking her hand in the air, Penny answered "it uses the full name, and assigning the appropriate number to the vowels only, add up the totals and then reduce to a single number..... that number is your hearts desire"..... rather pleased she'd known the answer...

Kurumi swallowed as she listened to Professor Hadley describe the Heart’s Desire Number. While she had just read about it in her textbook, the weight of the number seemed to grow heavier and heavier as it was described out loud. Like it became more real.

...describes your secret thoughts and wishes - what you long for in your heart of hearts and what is your dearest desire...

That sounded...intense... o__________O

"Y-You use the Pythagorean Number System to assign the proper number value to each vowel of your full name - first, middle and last." She paused for a moment. She didn't have a middle name...would that be problematic? "Then you add and reduce until you get a single digit root number."

Kurumi looked down at her parchment for a moment as she jotted down a few notes.

SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

Arithmancy Lesson III - First Vowel, Cornerstone, and Capstone
Kurumi Hollingberry // Gryffindor // third year

The Heart's Desire Number
Describes your secret thoughts and wishes - what you long for in your heart of hearts and what is your dearest desire. This number tells describes your heart's desire, your true motivation, what you love best, what you need to feed your soul, and what you value most.

Calculated by assigning the proper number value to each vowel in your full name using the Pythagorean Number System and adding the numbers together and reducing them down to a single digit.

K U R U M I H O L L I N G B E R R Y
2 3 9 3 4 9 8 6 3 3 9 5 7 2 5 9 9 7


Would the "Y" matter for these calculations? Kurumi figured that results could be very different depending on whether or not it was included. Perhaps it implied that those with Y's and W's in their names were undecided on the true nature of the heart's desire?

"You can find it by assigning the appropriate number to each vowel in your full name before adding the reduced totals of each name first, then reduce that to a single digit." Unless, of course, what with the master numbers and all...

Then again, she had to think about that one for a moment. Didn't want to get that mixed up with the personality number or something. Meh.
"Precisely correct, Evelyn! You use the full name listed on your birth certificate and then assign the appropriate number to each vowel." And whatever else the girl just said. Oh but wait a second... of course someone would ask something of similar nature...

"However, on that note, there is some debates on whether or not Y is considered a vowel or consonant. Is anyone aware of the general rule of thumb revolving about this letter?"

Marilyn sighed, thinking that maybe she needed to do more research as far as the "W" went. Maybe she could present proof and get extra credit...

"Shouldn't it have that free-flowing sound that most vowels usually carry...Like in the names Ryan and Lynn?"

What type of debate is this? W being a vowel? It would have made more sense if they were debating whether Y is a vowel of a consonent.

Savannah never studied anything as far as telling the difference between a vowel and a consonent. She and her sisters were told, however, was that a, e, i, o, u were the only vowels in the English alphabet. And all the rest are consonents. "I've got no idea professor, but I was told that a, e, i, o, u, were the vowels. And all the rest are consonents, so I'm going with that." Savannah said.

Jason Potter Weasley 07-11-2011 11:33 PM
William raisewd his hand. " Y is a vowl if it is in the syllable and Y is a consanant when it is first letter in the word" William told the professor.

Trish 07-12-2011 12:20 AM
Penny put her hand in the air, remembering something she had learned when she was younger....."Professor, in school we learned that, Y is a vowel when the word doesn't contain an A, E, I, O or U like in the word sky."

She almost 100% sure..well maybe 90%

"Not quite sure what you mean by free-flowing, but names like Ryan or Lynn, then the Y would be considered a vowel," Hadley said in response to the girl's inquiries.

"Those five are indeed the ones that are always vowels, but there are certain situations where you should count the Y as a vowel." And apparently no one knew them? Hm. Basic Math and English were needed? So in other words, you shouldn't stick with the rule that only those five letters are vowels.

Hadley shook her head at the first year's suggestion. "Partially correct, but not. For instance, in the name, Yvonne, Y is a vowel."

Another good idea, but not always. "Except in the name, Betty or Yvonne as I previously mentioned, then there are other vowels in those names but the Y would count as a vowel in both of those names."

When it seemed like no one else was going to offer suggestions about when the letter Y served as a vowel or consonant, Hadley decided to just offer the answer to them. "Right so the basic rule of thumb to determine if you should count the Y as a vowel or consonant is that when it serves as a vowel and in fact sounds like one, it is a vowel. As William mentioned, when the Y serves as the only vowel in the syllable, then it is a vowel."

"However, if the Y does not have that separate vowel sound, such as in my surname, Hadley, which the Y is coupled next to another vowel, then the Y is considered a consonant. The vowel sound depends on the long E, not the Y."

Confusing, but perhaps after they worked out their own names, if they had a Y in it, then it would make more sense. "Right then, let's go ahead and calculate our Heart's Desire Numbers and mine will be on the board as an example." Flicking her wand, the chalk raised on its own and wrote on the board:

Well, that did describe the Marilyn she wanted to be...

Holmesian Feline 07-12-2011 01:06 AM
Ok so he had been wrong on the first question, the Gryffindor having been thinking of the simplier, earlier chapters as compared to the later ones where capstone and the like appeared. But still he did bring to mind something the professor herself pointed out in agreement...the usage of the heart's desire number. Simon listened carefully to all that was being said and took notes of anything he felt the need to remember before hearing the instructions to work out said number for his name and doing as he was told.

Alright. Time for some Arithmancy.

He started by writing out his name. Then, using the textbook, wrote down the assigned numbers.

That was easy enough. While the rest of the class finished he entertained himself with reading the description of his heart's desire number.

Fallon listened as people threw out answers left and right. She was taking notes because this was something she really liked doing. Arithmancy was more fun for her than actually learning. It was interesting to see what all of those crazy numbers would predict...

Once they were told to calculate, Fallon pulled out a blank bit of parchment. She quickly wrote her full name on top and started to do her calculations.

SPOILER!!: calculations
Fallon Anne McCarthy
-1—6 1—5 ---1---7
7 + 6 + 8

Fallon looked down at her calcuations. Then she looked at the Y. She had counted it as a vowel. She didn't know if that was right or not. Oh well. She would ask a bit later. Maybe. She looked in the book and wrote down what her number meant under it. She liked having it there for future reference.

Fallon just stared at the meaning. Somehow: it actually kind of fit her.

Roselyn 07-12-2011 01:21 AM
That cleared things up which was nice. Pulling her notebook closer, and not feeling like she should flip through alllllll the pages to try and find what her heart's desire number was since she was sure she'd calculated it before, Evelyn flipped to a new page and started on the calculations.

Aw right, it was the number that made no sense to her whatsoever.

Penny checked and re-checked her calculations, ensuring the were right..
then looked up what the number meant for her.

EIGHT (8): You want to be the boss or at last have power of some kind in the world. It is difficult for you to comprehend the meotions of others and you prefer to stick to business over emotional affairs. You want to feel important in what you perceive to be the real world. In matters of the heart and friendship, you place business over emotional closeness. You should look for a stong, capable mate who is equal to your ambitions. But usually, you're just too busy for romance and true friendship.

Okay, so...yeah. Sierra just zoned out for a good half the class, and when she finally found her focus again, they were suddenly on the Heart's Desire Number. Huh? How did they suddenly jump to that? Ehh... She dipped her quill in ink, straightened up her parchment, and then opened her textbook to the page on the Heart's Desire Number. Now, to calculate her own...

S I E R R A
_ 9 5 _ _ 1

H O P E
_ 6 _ 5

G R E I N G O T H
_ _ 5 9 _ _ 6 _ _

(9+5+1) + (6+5) + (5+9+6)
(15) + (11) + (20)
(1+5) + (1+1) + (2+0)
(6) + (2) + (2) = 10
1 + 0 = 1

Heart's Desire Number: 1

Meaning:
ONE (1): You want to lead more than anything and may want to control others too. You do not like being subordinate or taking orders. 1 Soul Numbers are often ambitious, independent, headstrong, and willful. You stay away from teams, committees - and mediocrity. In matters of the heart and friendship, everything is great when the object of your affection/friendship lives up to your expectations. You expect that person to be as charming, clever, and independent as you are. You may seem cold or distant but it is only because you are protecting yourself.

Ha. Excellent. Sierra was quite pleased with the number one and its meaning.

sweetpinkpixie 07-12-2011 02:20 AM
Kurumi blinked. Wait...did this all mean that the Y in her last name SHOULD be used or that it shouldn't? There were two R's before the Y, so it did make it's own vowel like sound...probably should calculate it in her equation then?

Kurumi cocked her head to the side and returned her quill to her parchment.
SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

Arithmancy Lesson III - First Vowel, Cornerstone, and Capstone
Kurumi Hollingberry // Gryffindor // third year

The Heart's Desire Number
Describes your secret thoughts and wishes - what you long for in your heart of hearts and what is your dearest desire. This number tells describes your heart's desire, your true motivation, what you love best, what you need to feed your soul, and what you value most.

Calculated by assigning the proper number value to each vowel in your full name using the Pythagorean Number System and adding the numbers together and reducing them down to a single digit.

K U R U M I ___H O L L I N G B E R R Y
2 3 9 3 4 9 ___8 6 3 3 9 5 7 2 5 9 9 7

Heart's Desire Number:
(3+3+9)+(6+9+5+7) = (15)+(27) = (1+5)+(2+7) = 6+9 = 15 = 1+5 = 6
SIX (6): Three things most important to you are beauty, harmony, and home. Understanding, loyalty, devotion, affection and commitment are top priorities. You want to protect, nurture, and love your family and home. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are the idealistic romantic and friend. In love, you want to be committed and love deeply. In friendship, you want lifelong companionship and confidences.



Assuming that she was right in using the Y in her last name, Kurumi found the description for her Heart's Desire Number to be very accurate. She looked up at Professor Hadley and waited for further instructions - or for the professor to tell her that she should try her calculations again without the Y.

Jacob listened from the back of the class, as people answered the questions that Hadley asked. It really made no difference to him, he'd heard all of this before... well at least it sounded like something he'd learned, but really all of this Arithmancy stuff sounded the same to him.

Jacob just flipped through his textbook absent mindedly.

Oh, she wanted to make the Heart's Desire, Jacob thought he already had that somewhere in his note book, but Jacob was too lazy to find it. He simply fliped to the last page, and started writing.

Iris listened as answers and questions were passed around the classroom. She already knew these answers, so decided to just not answer - so as to allow others to have the chance to do so.

When they were told to find their Heart's Desire number, Iris sighed. Would flicking through her journal and opening the page to her calculations count as "finding" them? Because she didn't really fancy re-working out something she's had in her journal for years.

And, so, that's exactly what Iris did. Opening her journal, the Head Girl skimmed through the work until she found the calculations she needed.... Now what?

SEVEN (7): You are an emotional hermit and rarely show your feelings. You may even prefer your own thoughts to the company of another. You prefer solitude, the lure of silence, and peace. In matters of the heart and friendship, your thoughts will probably be kept secret, as will your beliefs and eccentric lifestyle. You pair best with another 7 soul - another sensitive person, often in possession of highly developed skills of perception.

Hmm, the Heart's Desire number. That was probably in her notes somewhere too, but Vashti still didn't feel like digging through them all trying to find it. It would be so much easier to just do the calculations again. It wasn't like it was extremely hard, anyway. So she picked up her quill, dipped it in her ink bottle, and began scribbling it all down, looking up the meaning of the number once she had finished.

NINE (9): You are the very soul of compassion. You want, above all else, to love the world and all that's in it. With your high ideals and power to influence others, you strive for universal perfection and universal love. You are deeply intuitive and charitable, often torn by your own emotional needs and the greater needs of others. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are loving and idealistic. In fact, you love of others seems boundless - because it is.

Right. So that explanation Y being a vowel was confusing, but she was going to assume the two Y's in her name were vowels. Writing her full name out, she began to work on finding her Heart's Desire Number.

FIVE (5): Your primary desire is to be entirely unrestricted, followed closely by a passion for travel and change. You can't stand to feel confined or lulled by routine. You love to experience variety and the stimulation life can offer. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are exquisite and extraordinary, adventurous and ready to risk. But most of all, you crave variety.

Since she had a few extra minutes, Marilyn decided to look into some of the notes she taken based upon other books. When scanning the 3rd page, the blonde ran across what she'd been looking for...

SPOILER!!: Marilyn's Notes
"W" becomes a semi-vowel when it becomes part of a diphthong. You hear it most commonly in combination with "a," "e," and "o." For example, we have the "aw" in "claw," the "ew" in "few," and the "ow" in "show." Sound out the word where it's used to make the final determination for "w." If it glides, it’s a vowel. If not, it’s a consonant.

A diphthong is what happens when vowels are combined to create a new sound, like the "ai" in "again," the two "o's" in "good," and the "au" in "author." One vowel is always more dominant than the other when they are put together. This makes for falling and descending diphthongs when the stress is on the first vowel, and rising and ascending diphthongs when the stress is on the second vowel. You can remember that dipthongs are made up of two letters because the prefix "di-" means "two."


I knew I hadn't lost my mind...Yet.

Quick Post Before I have to go -.-
 
Nika straightened up in her seat and began to work on her calculations. Luckily they were going to be easy this time. *BEAM*

SPOILER!!: Calculations

_9_1_ _1_5 1__5_

(9+1) + (1+5) + (1+5)
(1+0) + (6) + (6)
(1) + (6) + (6)
(1+3)
(0+4)
4

Heart's Disire Number: 4
Meaning: FOUR (4): Your desire is to have a plan and meet life in an organized manner. You wish to be practical about everything you do, loving your appointment book, agendas, setting clear boundaries, and knowing the expectations of all concerned. You like to know the plan and be in control - you don't want surprises along the way! You can be a great facilitator, bringing out the best in each individual by building a synergy between people. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are practical in emotional attachments and like to keep things under control. You may not seem romantic or spontaneous, but your planning is designed to thrill and delight others!

What!?! If anyone is organized it's not Nika... She looked up at her professor and raised her hand. "Professor Hadley did I do something wrong with my calculations? The number four does not describe me at all."

Oooooh, okay, so each vowel had a different number assigned and they had to add those. Eino flipped the pages of his textbook to Chapter Two: The Pythagorean Number System. He wrote down his full name, underlined the vowels, then wrote the numbers assigned to each letter right under them. After that he proceeded to add each one. He had never noticed he had more vowels in his name than consonants, but that wasn't really special, it only meant he had more to calculate.

Quote:
E I N O -- U R O N E N

E I O -- U O E
5 9 6 -- 3 6 5

(5 + 9 + 6) + (3 + 6 + 5)
(20) + (14)
(2 + 0) + (1 + 4)
2 + 5 = 7

SEVEN (7): You are an emotional hermit and rarely show your feelings. You may even prefer your own thoughts to the company of another. You prefer solitude, the lure of silence, and peace. In matters of the heart and friendship, your thoughts will probably be kept secret, as will your beliefs and eccentric lifestyle. You pair best with another 7 soul - another sensitive person, often in possession of highly developed skills of perception.
SPOILER!!: Trying it out with his real name for fun
P H I L I P -- H E N R Y -- B Y R O N

I I -- E Y -- Y O
9 9 --5 7 -- 7 6

(9 + 9) + (5 + 7) + (7 + 6)
(18) + (12) + (13)
(1 + 8) + (1 + 2) + (1 + 3)
9 + 3 + 4 = 16
1 + 6 = 7

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
