"Hello Professor Hadley" she said smiling before she looked at the board, smiling slightly more at the fact that the instructions were already there despite the professors trance like state of being. She slowly moved over to the Hufflepuff girl she recognized to be in her year... what was her name again? Glenn? Something like that anyway. "Um... do you mind if I sit here?"

Glenn looked up and saw a girl that she vaguely knew... she was a third year. She knew that.

"Sure." Glenn moved her bag a bit so the girl could pull out the chair and sit down properly. She gave a small smile to the girl before studying Professor Hadley. She was like a zombie or maybe their Professor was under the imperious curse :whaa: What would the castor make her do to them?

She smiled slightly at the unfamiliar Professor, who she only recognized from the feasts. "Hello Professor" she said politely before taking a seat near the front, but not in the very first row. She just wanted to see, not get called on for everything.

She took out all her materials and arranged them on her desk. This class was all about math right? Well this would be interesting. And she actually wasn't being sarcastic for once, she liked math. Although she had a feeling that might change after this.. She'd just have to wait and see.

Zhenya entered the arithmancy class room and said a happy "Hello Professor," before taking a seat next to Desiree.

"Hey," she said, sitting down. She took her paper out and a quill with a bottle of ink and set it next to her, then shoved her bag under the desk.

SPOILER!!: Hey Hufflepuffs

Ella was flipping through her textbook when she heard Alyssa's voice. She smiled at the badger and nodded. "Hey Alyssa. Sure, have a seat." It was always nice sitting by a friend.

Next came Minnie and Ella waved at her friend. "Hey Minnie, sure you can join us." The second year said with a smile. It looked like the powerpuffs were going to be together this lesson as well. GRIN.

The small blonde was reaching into her bag for a second quill when she saw Oakey walk past towards the windows. Brrrr. He was one brave Hufflepuff. She waved at him and returned the smile before turning back towards the front.

Jory entered the Aritmancy class. He hoped he would be better at the subject this year. "Hello, Professor Hadley,'' he greeted his Head of House. Then he headed off to take a seat where he unpacked his books, quills and parchment.

Hmm. Arithmancy.

Gwen wasn’t sure why, but she was looking forward to this class. ‘Good day, Professor Hadley’, the Ravenclaw said as she entered the classroom and then walked over towards an empty desk. However, with a quick look around, Gwendolyn was able to spot a familiar figure. She made a few more steps, until she reached the place where Jory was sitting. ‘Mind if I join you?’

Oh, the joy of numbers.

Entering the Arithmancy classroom, Dylan slowly made his way to an available seat. He wasn't too much worried about socializing and trying to sit with friends. Not today, anyway.

Truth was, the Slytherin just didn't feel like himself.

Offering the Professor a weak greeting, he set about getting his materials ready.

Text Cut: The Puffs (Ella, Minnie, Alyssa and Oakey)

Ella skipped into the Arithmancy classroom with a smile on her face. She quite liked this class and really enjoyed Hadley. Speaking of, the second year noticed that the professor seemed deep in thought at the moment. Hm...maybe she was thinking about the lesson? Hopefully everything was okay with the woman. "Hey Professor Hadley!" Ella said cheerfully on her way by the desk. Her eyes then traveled to the board behind her professor. Well first things first, Ella went and found a seat in the middle of the classroom. Next she removed her text, parchment, and quill and waited for class to start.

Alyssa entered the Arithmancy classroom and was glad that she hadn't arrived too early. She walked up to the Professor and greeted her,"Hello Professor Hadley," not daring to look her Head of House the eye, especially after the meeting she had with her in her office. Alyssa and then looked around to see whether any of her friends were around. She smiled when she saw Ella was already in class.

So she walked up to Ella and whispered,"Hi Ella is it okay if I join you?" Alyssa hoped that Ella wouldn't mind. She sat down and took out her textbook, quill and parchments and waited for class to start.

She looked around and saw Ella and Alyssa, her power puff girls were already there so she went over and smiled. "Hey guys can I sit with you?" She found the empty seat and took out her book, parchment, and quill to be ready for when her house ~~mom~~ was ready to start class.

Oakey walked into the class. Hiya Professor Hadley, Oakey said as he suddenly had a cold chill run down his spine. You could almost see the quick shiver he did. A tad bit chilly today isn't it? he directed his statement of the obvious to his Head of House.

He looked for some seats to sit by and saw Alyssa, Ella, and Minerva all sitting by each other. He looked to see if there was one more open sit nearby and found one by them, but one row back. He looked twice to see that it was a window seat. I can tough it out He thought. It's not all to cold. He pulled out his chair and gave the three girls a smile. He removed his Textbook, parchment and Quills next laying them out in front of him to begin class.

Alyssa looked up when she heard Minerva ask whether she could join them. "Of course you can. I for one will definitely need your brains in this class this term." Alyssa grinned over at Minnie as she sat down.

Then Alyssa saw Oakey walk into the classroom. She noticed that he had been avoiding her lately and spending more time with his friend Mordred. She couldn't blame him. She always ended up crying every time they talked, but Alyssa was determined to make things right.

Alyssa leaned back and turned to speak to him. Oakey, we have one more seat at our table. Would you like to join us?" she smiled back at him.

Harvey entered the classroom.. here he was at the first Arithmancy class of his third year.. he had always liked Arithmancy ever since his first year.. so it should be no surprise to see him here.. "Hello Professor Hadley.. how are you?" he asked before he noticed the strange expression that was on the professor's face.. he didnt think he had seen that expression before..so he decided to take a seat and he looked around to see a group of puffs.. well that was where he was headed.. he walked upto them "Hey everyone" he greeted them before sat down in the row in front of them.. he got out the items that the professor had listed on the board.. he took out his text book, couple of pieces of parchment and a quill and black ink bottle and he rearranged these items on his desk.. textbook in top left corner of his table.. ink and quill in the top right.. and parchment in front of him ready to be written on.

They could never quit Hadley, right? Of course, the 'they' applied to her and Treyen, but just because he wasn't here, didn't mean Ellie was going to neglect their stance. His absence didn't effect her too much, anyway. It wasn't like he ever sat with her. So, like Charms, it was another block of time in a day in a week where she didn't actively miss him. She only did when she thought about how she wouldn't be able to see him after.

Anyway. Ellie was here. For once, it seemed like, Hadley was being somewhat normal. Or, at least, not reading a dumb magazine about numbers. "Hey Hadley," the girl greeted her, adding on a finger wiggle.

Then she moved to take....not her normal seat, but one right by the open windows. It was nice, the cool air. Besides, she had an amazing view of the back of Treyen's head where she normally sat.

So maybe she did actively miss him here, too.

New shiny badge pinned safely to his robes, Spike stepped through the doorway and ruffled his curls. "Hi, Professor," he said quietly, not wanting to interrupt her reading, but also not wanting to appear rude. He was a 'leader' now, afterall. Which was partly the reason he was here. The other bit was to finally try and understand Arithmancy. The year of his exams was better late than never, right?

It wasn't that he wasn't good with numbers - because he could measure and build things easily enough. He just didn't get it, and usually spent more time staring out the window than at his textbook. Today though, he was in the mood to do well. Maybe it was the badge, maybe the threat of his parents and another quidditch ban, or maybe it was his new badge...whatever, he was going to do well and get through his exam at the end of the year.

Spotting his Captain, Spike gave her a smile. "Hi Captain, mind if I sit?" Not really waiting for an answer, he slid in to the seat next to Ellie. She'd help make sure he wouldn't get distracted, right?

SPOILER!!: Student replies

"Hey professor." She says as she takes a seat in the front of the class. She takes her textbook, her parchment, and quill out.

And another 'hello' to the young Slytherin who followed shortly behind.

"A bit chilly for this time of the year, don't you think?" she said heading toward a seat. She didn't think she'd need a cloak. It was only early October after all. Usually she was fine until November when the castle became drafty and wintery.

Oh well. She'd manage. She'd just run up to get her cloak later during the day if it didn't warm up later.

She then glanced up at the board. She dug into her bag and placed her textbook, parchment, quill, and ink on the desk. Alright. Lesson time.

Chilly? Actually, she felt kind of warm. But maybe it had something to do with the fact that her sister, her lovely sister, had decided to move back to the Northern Hemisphere and didn't TELL her of her plans until after school started!!! Granted she didn't voice any of that.

Instead she simply forced a smile for Anya too. "Hello dear. Chilly? No, not really. It's actually comfortable." Yes, she did enjoy the breezy air, even if it created a few Goosebumps.

"Hello Alyssa," Fina said, looking toward the fourth year, noticing she seemed ... upset with her. She felt bad, slightly, but ... the girl needed to know it was for her benefit. The balancing act. She would be better off for it, she knew.

Aside from a few things Vashti had told her, but the only things Penelope actually remembered her cousin saying were how "incredibly fun a class it was" and how "the professor was one of my favorites" and that "it really isn't THAT hard if you pay attention and read the textbook." Which basically meant Penelope was probably going to fail miserably once again since she HADN'T read the textbook. She'd been trying to read her books, of course - she'd certainly made a valiant attempt recently to read the one for the creatures class - but she'd gotten bored and hungry and decided she'd much rather go get something to eat in the Great Hall.

So yeah, she was just going to hope she could get away with just staring at a wall and that there wouldn't be any spells to perform. Unless it was Lumos, because that was the one spell she could definitely do now.

Luck was never on her side though.

So she simply entered the classroom silently and sat at the desk closest to the door. That way she could ~~escape~~ leave the classroom faster once it was over and go down to the Great Hall for something to eat. She was already hungry again.

Another girl - unfamiliar though she was - took a seat near the door. Obviously new to Arithmancy. Obviously scared and nervous.

Giving her a comforting smile, she then looked toward her next greeter.

Granted he had thought of not continuing but as had become habit with most of the classes he wasn't the best at, he chose to attend the first class of the term at least. "Good day, Professor Hadley," he greeted with a smile as he entered the classroom and noted her presence behind her desk. His mood had certainly improved with the passing of days since the quidditch match. Leaving the professor be, the prefect crossed to a desk and took a seat before doing as the note on the board said, taking out his textbook and supplies from his bag to prepare for the beginning of the class.

"Good day, Gideon," Fina noted and then noticed something she probably should have picked out sooner. Well she KNEW he was one, but she hasn't actually SEEN the Prefect Badge pinned onto his robes before that moment. Granted she hadn't really seen the sixth year either. Besides from a distance. She give him a congratulatory smile; he seemed to deserve it well enough.

His eyes fell on the Numbers Guru and greeted her brightly "Good Morning Professor." As he turned he spotted the windows were slightly ajar. Seeing that the Professor looked rather preoccupied he wondered if she was aware "Professor, do you wish for me to close some of the windows?"

Oh and another bright smile greeted her! "Good morning, Vickers," She smiled back at him, but then blinked at his question. Was he trying to say it was chilly in here or something? She looked around at the other students a moment. Only Anya had voiced something, but still, she wasn't really chilly. Besides, the chilly air would keep their minds agile and awake. "It's not raining, is it?" she asked curiously, glancing toward the windows. "Then no. We wouldn't want anyone falling asleep from it getting too warm in here."

"Hi Oakey," she noted, looking for some hint that maybe either he found his lucky charm or that bad luck wasn't befalling upon him, like he thought it would. Another one complaining of the chilly air? "Not really, no. Besides, a bit of chill air will be good for you in your thinking process"

She first greeted the professor, "Hello Professor Hadley!" she chirped excitedly, "Nice to see you again."

Looking around, Ira smiled and waved a small hello to Alyssa and Minerva.

And instinctively turned to a rather excited Gryffindor. Well someone consumed sugar for breakfast. Smiling at the excitable lion, she nodded in agreement. "Likewise, Miss Wilson," she noted.

Text Cut: Three Snakes

Next three Slytherins walked in.... varying ages, Josephina was sure of that much.... Jonathan she knew. The other two, were young and this was likely their first experience with Arithmancy.

Smiling at them each in turn, she noted a brief 'Hello' to each of them.

It wasn't really cold, but getting cooler out, so she'd started carrying an oversized cardigan sweater around. She probably was going to need to sneak that back into her father's closet when she went back home during the holidays, andfind something new to carry around, but for now it was her warmth. And she'd slipped it out as she'd stepped into Arithmancy, sliding her arms inside the sleeves while she walked toward an empty seat. She wasn't about to complain to the professor, after all.

"Bonjour, Professor Hadley," she greeted the woman, looking at her a bit curiously as she seemed to be off in a trance or something. Maybe that explained why it was so cool inside the room, and she finished putting the cardigan on under her robes after she'd set her bag down on the floor by her feet. She'd be warm, and still not out of uniform. Then she leaned over to pull her textbook out, along with parchment, quill and ink, settling in to wait for class to begin. Hopefully the professor snapped out of whatever was going on by then.

Ah and then another girl entered, who greeted her with a 'Bonjour' instead of hello. Something she was tempted to reply back with a 'Ciao', but decided against it. "Hello, Miss Gardiner," she said, noting she brought a cardigan with her. Smart girl.

As in, Wizard maths?

Chelle entered the Arithmancy classroom and took a seat. She was excited about this lesson, as she had a feeling it was going to be similar to Maths in the Muggle world. Maths was one of her favourite subjects.

"Hey, Professor!" she said, smiling, and waited for the lesson to begin.

"Hello," Fina said, noticing another student, one who seemed rather .... excited about Arithmancy, judging from her enthusiasm. They shall see if the enthusiasm lasts.

"Hello, professor," she smiled at her, after which she made her way to a desk in the front row. She wasn't really in the mood to calculate anything but, by sitting in the front, she hoped it'll help her concentrate better.

And a familiar student again. Lots of new and familiar students alike, it seemed. "Hello dear," she said, noting as the Slytherin took a seat near the front.

Kurumi tugged on her robes a bit and eyed the windows out of the corner of her eye. Was this some sort of new way to make sure students stayed awake? Shrugging, Kurumi made her way to the front of the room and set her things down before looking at Professor Hadley. "Good day, Professor Hadley," Kurumi said with a faint smile, her gaze drifting to the seat next to her. She looked back towards Professor Hadley now and tried to figure out what sort of expression that was on her face. "Everything...alright, professor?" she asked as she lowered her voice, just in case the woman didn't want to have any attention brought to her.

Sitting down, Kurumi glanced at the seat beside her. The seat that had always been his seat. Treyen's seat. He had sat next to her almost every lesson since she was a first year and now...it was empty. Treyen had graduated and was off being incredible elsewhere, as he should be. Still didn't prevent a small frown from appearing on her lips as she began to set her textbook, parchment, and quills on the table.

Ah and there was the other Gryffindor Prefect; the one she knew would be here. After her incredible OWL scores. Numbers were the girl's sanity. "Morning, Kurumi," she smiled, but then blinked at the quiet voice of what she asked next. "Yes? No? I'm not really sure ...." she answered, actually honest, for the first time.

But then again, same could be said for the girl, as she looked at the seat beside her. The same seat that a former prefect of hers sat in.

Dumping his stuff at one of the tables nearer the front of the room (hey, he wanted to catch up and sitting at the back would make him very distracted), Dale got out the book and his writing stuff before leaning his elbows on the desk, face on his hands, and then twirled his quill between his fingers.

Contemplation. This was the time for it.

Still perplexed, she looked over toward another student who entered. The other Upstead kid who had found his way to her office not too long ago. Who seemed .... content? Contemplative?

Shrugging, she looked toward another Hufflepuff who entered at the same moment....

Messer never good at this particular subject. But since his lovely Head of House is really good with Arithmancy now he started to understand the subject. So with his backpack slung on his right shoulder, the young Hufflepuff entered the classroom. "Good day, Professor Hadley." he gave her a smile before he went to find himself a seat.

Oh look who's here!

Edvard Messer. "Good day," she smiled at him, as he took to finding a seat, she looked back toward the door.

Zack was very sure that Arithmancy was one of the subjects that he couldn't understand at all. He didn't know much in arithlmancy. Even though he tried to pay attention in his first year but still nothing that he knew went in his head.

And yet here he was to take more of arithmancy which he would never understand. He entered the class and took a seat next to the window and looked at the board. He kept his bag at the side and removed his textbook and parchment and quill sitting the on his seat he looked for professor and said "Hello professor" he said and smiled.

And another Gryffindor, who seemed vaguely familiar, though admittedly she wasn't sure she really knew or saw him much last year. Maybe a bit. "Hello," she responded back.

"Morning Professor." Glenn said as she entered the class and chose a free desk. She dumped her bag on the floor and took out her journal that she did most of her school work in. As she was glancing over her old notes, she noticed it was a bit cooler in this room than it usually was. She pulled her house scarf from her bag and wrapped it around her neck. Brrrrrrrrr.

"Morning," she greeted to the young Hufflepuff, wondering if perhaps the other three had been right? Was it TOO cold in the room? She wanted it chilled, but not freezing and although SHE didn't think it was . . .

And last, but certainly not least, to enter the classroom was a third year Raven~~puff~~claw boy, who found a seat near a cluster of Hufflepuffs. Smiling at Harvey, she greeted back, "Hello.... I'm alright," she consented, before rising from her spot. May as well get the lesson started.

"Hello and welcome to another year of Arithmancy," Josephina began, but then looked toward a few of those who this would be their first Arithmancy lesson ever. "Or for those of you who this will be your first Arithmancy lesson, welcome. I'm Professor Hadley," and obviously the Arithmancy Professor.

Alright, introductions aside. "In past lessons, we've pretty much worked with one type of Numerological System. But there are two type of numerology systems in existence. What are the two types of systems?" Nice simple question to get them started....

Okay then, they were jumping right into questions it seemed. Ella wracked her brains, thinking back to her first lesson with Hadley last term. What were the two types of systems? She knew that one was pythagorean but the other...what was it? Something with a c maybe? She drummed her fingers absently on her parchment while she thought about the answer.

After several minutes of finger drumming, Ella had the answer she hoped was correct. The second year raised her hand in the air with a smile. "Professor, I think they're Pythagorean and Chaldean"

Ira had just settled comfortably into her desk, when the questions started. Well, this time, she was prepared. She had prepared a bit before hand.

So as soon as she heard the question, Ira raised her hand up and answered, "Professor the two systems are The Pythagorean Number System and the Chaldean Method" They had studied the Pythagorean System before, right?

Indy liked Arithmancy. She liked the subject a lot. She knew that Spike wasn't so into it though, so that was why she had her own little text book, and was going to make sure that it was all pretty and stuff. And that she could read from it. Oooh. Question. Indy smiled, as she raised her hand. "The Pythagorean system." That was a big word. hehe. "This system uses the numbers 1 - 9 to represent every letter in the alphabet." And now she was done speaking. Still smiling she put her arm down.

"There is the the Pythagorean (Agrippan) Method and the Chaldean Method. In the Pythagorean method All the letters correspond to one of the numbers between 1 and 9. The numbers between 1 and nine itself correspond to the various aspects in ones life cycle." Sarah said. She loved numbers...

OMG, like seriously? Isn't it the same in Muggle Maths?

"Professor, there are two types of systems: one is the Pythagorean System, also known as the Agrippan Method and the second is the Chaldean Method," she replied, hoping it was the correct answer.

To which Indy mentioned what the Pythagorean Number System uses. "So if, as Indiana mentioned, the Pythagorean Number System uses the numbers 1-9 to represent letters.... then what does the Chaldean Number System use?"

Ira beamed as her answer was deemed right. And then pondered over the next question. What exactly was the Chaldean system??

She raised her hand up again and answered, "Professor, the Chaldean sysytem uses numbers from 1-8" But why 9 wasn't used, Ira didn't know. "And it is the oldest system right, Professor?"

Oh. The other one. Indiana looked down at her textbook, turning to that particular page. Hmmm. She read a little bit, before the discovered the answer. With a smile, Indy raised her hand. "That method just uses the numbers 1 - 8, excluding the number 9 that the other method uses. This is because the people who invented the method thought that the number was holy, and so they decided to hold it apart from the other numbers"

Silvia was glad to be back in arithmancy class; she liked it. She didn't answer the first question since several of the students had already mentioned the correct answer. But she decided to raise her hand for the next question. "I think the Chaldean system uses the numbers one through eight, but doesn't have the number nine like the Pythagorean system." She wondered if there were any differences in the interpretations of numbers since there was one less number in the Chaldean method.

' I think The Chaldean system does not go until 9, it ends as 8. Yet that will change the 'alphabet' completly as it will make I 9 and not 1, and therefore J 2 and not 1 and so on. ' Sarah said.

Or maybe Nora just didn't pay attention, since she'd been silently drumming her fingers against the desk, but stopped as soon as professor Hadley started speaking. And... about the Chaldean Number System... She raised her hand. "It uses only the numbers from one to eight." Unlike the Pythagorean Number System, which uses the numbers from one to nine. Ehh, maybe Mr Chaldean or whoever invented it was too lazy to use nine as well.

Angelina thought for a while. That was a hard question... She wasn't great with Arithmancy. Finally after figuring out the answer, thinking back to last school year and everything. Raising her hand she said, "Professor the two systems The Pythagorean Number System and the Chaldean Method?"

SPOILER!!: Such smart students you are <3

"Your first activity in today's lesson will be to compare and contrast the two Numerological systems. You have 15 minutes."

ooc: in real time, you'll have about 10 hours before I post another question =). You can either fill in a Venn Diagrams or just simply do it in list format ~~though the more effort and thought = more points.~~ You can work in groups or alone, but again, you get credit for what YOU put in, not taking your partner's work if you choose to do it that way. Don't plagiarize each other. Don't edit. and the Arithmancy Professor is now off to do some Herbology for a bit before work *whistles*

Pythago... Numero... Cha...

WHAT was with all these big words?

The blank stare that was becoming a habit for every class she attended was on Penelope's face. Seriously? Were these huge words necessary? What did any of them even mean? And then something about which numbers the different things used? They could just pick and choose the numbers they wanted? Did the ones they didn't use just cease to exist?

Penelope blinked a couple of times, as if that would help her understand what was being said, but of course it didn't help in the slightest.

Seriously, what were all these students talking about?

And then suddenly the professor was saying they had to compare them with that circle thing.

All Penelope could do was stare.

Playing catch up. Time zones are badA

Alyssa knew the answer to the first question that Professor Hadley had posed the class. It was the Pythagorean or the Agrippan method and the Chaldean. However she was too late to raise her hand to answer that and since the other students basically gave the same answer, she wasn't going to do the same.

Then the Professor asked what the Chaldean Number system used. Even though some of the students had already given their answers, Alyssa raised her hand and answered.

"Professor the Chaldean Number system is less systematic than the Pythagorean method. It still uses numbers assigned the letters of the alphabet."

"However, the letters seem to be randomly assigned to the letters unlike the Pythagorean system and for some reason, the number 9 is not assigned a letter."

Then before Alyssa could take a breath, Professor Hadley had posed another question.

Jen didn't understand what was going on. She just drew 2 circles on her parchment to where they over lapped. Yeah, that's right. Now, what were the 2 systems?
