Default Arithmancy 1: What's in a Name?

As you near the Arithmancy classroom, you may feel the air begin to chill slightly. But don't worry, there are no dementors around. Upon entering the room you will instantly see the cause: true to form, Professor Tanner has opened the windows to allow in a crisp autumn breeze. Streaks of sunlight cross the room and fall upon freshly dusted desks, the chalkboard, and a small table with brightly colored pieces of paper. You should probably read the inscription on the board first, yes?

Tiara is standing near the door, ready to greet you as you enter.



OOC: This lesson is being held at 9am on October 15, 2085; it is not the first lesson of the year. We will officially begin in around 24 hours. Until then, feel free to chat, just try not to set the place on fire. Class has begun; please don't announce your late arrival.

The fifth year nodded. "She certainly was a know it all,'' he agreed. "Let's start with number seven if that's okay with you guys.'' He found the meaning of the number before reading out loud to his group. "Your mission in life is to evaluate and seek out. Your purpose is to dig deeply and contemplate all you happen upon, using your skill at analysis and your scrupulous ways to find inner wisdom. Learning to express your sharp scrutiny and being thoughtful and discerning will lead you toward your destiny. You're destined for educating the world. Specialize and teach your wisdom."

"So it comes back to what Zeke said. Using her vast knowledge, Hermione helped Harry a great deal to find and defeat those Horcruxes. Along the way she did pass a lot of wisdom to Harry and Ron. It was her destiny, I guess...'' Adi trailed off, waiting for anyone else to add their thoughts.

Kace was glad they accepted him, I mean if they kicked him out he could have found another group but he loved these guys. He grinned and now they were starting with the number seven. That is what the lions got. He nodded and heard Zander and Adi's explanation of the number. He also saw Norah join their group and he smiled when the little puff joined in. The more the merrier! It made sense that is dealt with Hermione. She was the know it all and had lots of wisdom.

He had a little input too, "And to also mention the fact that she willingly wanted to learn. She came up to the library in this school and always read to keep herself ahead of lessons. I sense dedication there too." She also passed the knowledge down to Harry and Ron and everyone willing to learn. "She also helped the students in Dumbledore's Army and she taught spells and learned their incantations and wand movements and passed it down to Harry." Hermione was the greatest witch of her age. Let's leave it at that.

He looked around and wondered if anyone else had anything to say. He hoped he didn't say too much.

The Gryffindor nodded as Zeke explained a bit a you know, for a second year... Kid sure did know his stuff. Sorta. Just as he went to add on to it, however, a little Hufflepuff came bouncing over and oh. It was the girl who had dropped her quill that one time. He knew her! Sort of. Hearing Adi address her as Norah, he tried to keep that at the back of his mind. "Yeah, more the merrier," Right? The more heads together and maybe they could actually interpret stuff. 'Cause Arithmancy was hard, okay?

But right. He listened patiently as everyone threw in their own two sickles about the matter. "Yeah, she was brilliant. Helped Neville Longbottom out with his school work all the time," he only knew that because of the biography. But it was relevant information at this point, was it not? But anyways... "So her mission in life... It had a lot to do with her wisdom? And that's what the number seven tells us...?" Right?? That was kind of summing it up... Sort of maybe. eh. He was eh at Arithmancy.

As for the other number though... What was that one again? The Prefect had to glance over at the board for a quick second before turning back to the group. "And now for the number 9? That's what you lot got, right?" Double checkin with the puffs, yo.


Zeke nodded along, making a mental note of all this Longbottom and Dumbledore's Army stuff... cause yeah, that was good stuff right there. It was good to know, and it was a shame he didn't already. OH WELL.

It was nice to see that they were all agreeing where number seven was concerned, he only hoped that would continue to the next digit. It was perhaps a good thing he didn't know too much about Hermione, and perhaps better that most of what he knew was when she was of school age. It meant that he would be learning MORE things now.

Quickly skimming the passage in the text, Zeke caught onto the word humanised. HUMANISED. That was really relevant, no? He looked up at his teammates and waited for them to weigh in first.

WOOOOH! She had a GROUP, people! Grinning at the boys, Norah opened her textbook on her lap and put her notes on the table. All set, yo. Picking up her quill, she went about recording all the stuff everyone else was saying, in glittery ink OBVIOUSLY, 'cause numbers were weird and they seemed to know what they were talking about SO not much need for input there. Cool, cool, it was all COOL. The third year tried busied herself wiggling her toes in her shoes, 'cause in the unfortunate way everything was positioned bouncing would result in a definite textbook-on-the-floor fiasco and that'd just make her look immature. Which she WASN'T.

Ooh! Nine time. That was HER number. Well, and Kace and Adi's but she could be excited anyway, y'know. Norah squinted at her textbook and re-read the number description before looking up and offering, "I think the nine makes sense for the name change 'cause she was starting a family then, right? She married the Ralph guy? Wait, no. The Ron guy." DETAILS, details. "It says nine means you want to love unconditionally 'n stuff, which makes sense with the family thing. And the being perfect stuff can apply to being a wife and a mother AND to being a student and learning, so it's still pretty Hermione-ish." SEEE she could say stuff sometimes. Take that.

"Alright well it seems to me that the text is pretty close to what I know about her (her being Ginevra). What do you think?" Hady picked up her quill to write down what Kate thought about it giving the girl a sideways glance. Hopefully they could work well enough together to get this done fairly quickly.


Kate twisted her parchment so that Hady could see her work.

G I N E V R A
7 + 9 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 9 + 1 = 40
4 + 0 = 4

M O L L Y
4 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 7 = 23
2 + 3 = 5

W E A S L E Y
5 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 27
2 + 7 = 9

4 + 5 + 9 = 18
1 + 8 = 9

Textbook Interpretation: NINE (9): Your mission in life is to perfect and love unconditionally. Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art. Learning to transform and heal and being receptive and forbearing will bring you closer to your destiny. You're destined for broad horizons. Reach out and help someone.

Questions asked by the professor:
1. Discuss how both numbers' interpretations apply to your woman's life.
2. Is one number better or worse?
3. Is it possible that one could represent the early life and the other later life?


She was about to say something about what Hady had asked when...

That was just her cross to bear, and she wanted to prove that some Slytherins could actually earn points. That meant cooperating in lessons. If anyone wanted to acknowledge her. It almost made her miss the crazy head girl last term, and the debate during History of Magic that she still felt she won. Crazy head girl had stopped acting like the evil fairy after all, after she’d made her point. So that meant people should listen to her. At least notice her.

She’d glanced back down at her notes after a moment, wondering if she should just try and figure it all out by herself, but looked up again when she heard her name. Hady. “Okay,” she said, picking up the sheet of parchment from her desk and moving over near her friend and the Claw. The Claw who apparently knew better than anyone else, as she had silently accepted the suggestion and gestured at the seat Brooklyn eventually took. “What do I think about what?,” she asked as she sat down, hearing Hady’s question. That and craning her neck to look upside down at the textbook her friend had, since she wasn’t about to drag any more over here than she had to.


Hady's friend Brooklyn decided to join them after all. "Hey," Kate greeted. "I'm Kate." It seemed like the decent thing to do. The professor spoke up then, and Kate realized they may not have much time left. Better get a move on then.

"Well, history teaches us that Ginny, as she was known by her family and friends, really stood by her boyfriend in that final Wizarding War. I remember reading about how she even stood up to Voldemort when she'd thought he'd killed Harry," Kate said. She tapped her index finger against the part of her parchment that defined the number nine. "It says here that a mission of the number nine is to perfect and love unconditionally. She hit that nail right on the head."

"No need to worry." She glanced around, catching a few students here and there, and lowered her voice. "Between us, I'm no genius at Arithmancy." Nope, nope. Which led to Janelle's next point. "But I do try and make sense of things and that probably helps with interpretations. You're pretty clever yourself." Janelle's stare was making her blush, and not because it felt awesome being looked up to, but because no one has ever looked up to her. Heh.

Her eyes roamed back around the classroom after Janelle asked her the same question. Well, she thought--

Oh.

Was that a lonely Slytherin? Beverly turned to Janelle. "Hold on that one, lets invite her into our group." She shrugged her head at Domino. She couldn't leave her Snakes behind. Beverly was trying really hard on this being-a-responsible-Prefect thing.

"Domino! Come on over." And they could have a massive discussion on numbers and destinies.
Domino turbed her head and noticed the girl.
"Thanks" dhe said and went over to the group. "This numbers thing is a bit confusing. I don't quite get it" domino said to them.

Awesome! Brooklyn had come over and sat with them. This was going to be neat. Three girls and young ones working together. Time to show everyone what they were made of!

Since Kate went ahead to explain what they had been talking about to Brooklyn, Hady took that moment to not down a few quick lines of notes. Spotting Brooklyn trying to read the text upside down she spun her book around for her friend with a small grin.

"I agree Kate but lets not forget her loyalty to her family as well. Also Dumbledores Army she was a huge part of that and also backed her friends and Harry up." She added remembering when she used to her her father to tell her over and over again about Harry Potter and his friends when she was much younger.

That was talent.

Oh. Right. Work.

“Right I think it fits I think especially considering that she was the Department Head of Magical Law Enforcement…and I thinks he had that position before she got married or at least was on the path to it before then” she shrugged and nodded. It made sense.

She turned her attention to the board when he finished speaking as a way to refresh on what her expression number had changed to…so it had become a nine. With her textbook open she began to scan the page looking for the number.

“Okay and after marriage her expression number changed to a nine” she simply said aloud so she wouldn’t look crazy when she began reading about the number as Toby had. “So…nines mission is to perfect and love unconditionally…having kids could do that to someone” she muttered and continued reading the section aloud “purpose is to strive for universal brotherhood or sisterhood using humanitarianism, responsiveness, healing art…basically reaching out and helping people” she added with and tipped her head to the side.

“I have a feeling that while yes the numbers did change they are somewhat similar in regards to the fact that both have elements of ‘helping’ others.” She bit her lip slightly and glanced over to Toby and Lux as if asking or pleading with them to give a better more fitting answer.

Ugh, she was such a fail. Her brain was practically dead from all the studying she was doing and the morning classes were always a struggle.

Rubbing her eyes, she tried to focus. "I guess it's basically that the focus of her contributions changed when she got older. When she was younger it was focused more on a universal level, helping Harry Potter out and fighting for the Wizarding world. When she got married it was focused more inwardly; towards her family and community." Did what she say make sense? She honestly had no idea.


"The humanitarianism thing totally makes sense, right? And the brotherhood and sisterhood thing. I mean, she helped stop the war and rebuild society afterwards, which is equally as important." Made sense in Toby's head, anyway. "I mean, she was muggle born and the war was largely to do with pureblood elitism and everything and she... I mean I'm guessing she was definitely one of those trying to change that, end the war, find peace? That's how I see it, I guess."

Hmm. Hmm, hmmm, hmmmm. Toby looked back and forth between the numbers they were comparing for Hermione in his textbook.

"They are both to do with helping others, and I guess you could totally see it as a sort of natural progression." Basically, he was agreeing with Puck and Lux there. "Do we think there's one number that fits more than the other? I can't decide if one makes more sense. Like, I'm drawn more to the number for her birthname but most of the stuff I know about her is stuff from when she was at school, and that one definitely fits. Do you two think theres one that fits her better?"

Janelle smiled when Beverly offered to help her. "Thanks a lot", she replied. It was nice to know that she had some older students to turn to if she needed help.

Ooooh, she got another compliment. Were all Slytherins this nice? So far she had met Beverly and Zhenya and they had both been really cool. Janelle was anxious to hear Beverly's thoughts on the different names, but that would have to wait. It seemed that there would be another member joining their group.

The new girl came over and joined them. Janelle couldn't help but smile at her comment. "You said it.", she replied. She liked numbers, but Arithmancy was a whole different deal. "I'm Janelle", she said. "We were just sharing our answers.". It would be nice to get a third opinion.

Kace heard the sum up version of what Zander thought of number seven. He agreed and commented, "Yeah I agree I think her ways of evaluating situations and learning to show her sharp whit makes her a great example for the number seven." There that was his summation.

Now onto his and Norah's number. They had the number nine. He heard Norah's explanation and agreed with it wholeheartedly. "Yeah what Norah said basically. She took the words right out of my mouth." he grinned towards the little puff. "I also think the learning to transform applied with the new changes of parenthood and all that." he said adding in just a little bit more.

He waited for Adi to see if he had anything else to say.

Moving on....

"Sounds good to me! So...." The third year peeked at his Prefect's studious notes just to make sure he was on the right track before speaking. "When Ginevra Molly uses her birth name, her Expression Number is 9. My textbook says this: 'Your mission in life is to perfect and love unconditionally. Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art. Learning to transform and heal and being receptive and forbearing will bring you closer to your destiny. You're destined for broad horizons. Reach out and help someone.'" Yes? Right?

"Gabriel's notes say that if she changed her surname, it should be a 4. We can compare and contrast the descriptions, I guess? Does anyone here know a lot about her?"

And did Dante or Gabriel's girlfriend want to talk about her parallel number? Dima was out of breath here.

Nice, good question, Dima.

Dante nodded to the question. Why else would she say she wanted to work with him. "And I'm Dante"

Introductions out of the way for the two younger people here. It was work time now. Dante listened to Dima's explanation of the number the claws had to come up with and the Prefect did take some amazing notes.

Arithmancy Lesson 1: What's in a Name?

Does marriage and taking another name change ones numbers?
"The prevailing choice of ancient Arithmancers, and therefore of your textbook, is to use your birth name for all calculations throughout your lifetime."

"Because name changes tend to correspond with big life changes or decisions, the new school of thought holds that your personality, values, habits, et cetera are impacted to an extent that would make calculations with your new name entirely appropriate."

"The view put forth by the rest of you is somewhere in the middle, using both calculations to gain a better picture of how the name-changing event affects your life. No one has yet, to my knowledge, come up with a mathematical rule for combining calculations with both names."

Discussion: Does Marriage Redefine You?
To understand the present, one must first understand the past. So, my group has decided to compare and contrast Ginevra Molly Weasley to Ginevra Molly Potter...to make our arguments and discussion more accurate.

According to the book (as related by Dima Toussaint), the number NINE as an Expression number reads: Your mission in life is to perfect and love unconditionally. Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art. Learning to transform and heal and being receptive and forbearing will bring you closer to your destiny. You're destined for broad horizons. Reach out and help someone.

When she changed her last name, her number changed, as well. The number FOUR as an Expression number reads (as related by Dante Barrington): Your mission in life is to build something of lasting value. Your purpose is to be realistic and hard-working, all while keeping order and decorum so that security is assured. Learning to express traditional values and being loyal and constant will move you toward your destiny. You're destined for managing and methodizing. Create the foundation and build on it.

Hand finally pausing over the parchment, Gabe regarded the words.

...and he was STILL blushing a little.

"Perhaps her views....changed after she married. She decided she.....wanted different things in life....." The words were a bit rushed and sometimes quiet. He glanced to his sister. Did Ruby have anything to add? Did Dima and Dante....have anything else?

Dante nodded to the question. Why else would she say she wanted to work with him. "And I'm Dante"

Introductions out of the way for the two younger people here. It was work time now. Dante listened to Dima's explanation of the number the claws had to come up with and the Prefect did take some amazing notes.

"Well like you and his notes say. The number changes to four when her last name changed. The textbook says "Your mission in life is to build something of lasting value.

"Perhaps her views....changed after she married. She decided she.....wanted different things in life....." The words were a bit rushed and sometimes quiet. He glanced to his sister. Did Ruby have anything to add? Did Dima and Dante....have anything else?

He was still squinting at his textbook in consternation when he heard Gabe's words. Uh..... uh...... sister?

Dima's cheeks flushed until they were a brighter shade of red than the ripest tomato in Groundskeeper Millard's vegetable patch. SISTER?

"I'm... sorry..." Er. The thirteen year old cleared his throat awkwardly, then immediately followed up his choppy apology with, "I think I dropped my quill." Obviously, NO ONE had noticed he hadn't been holding one in the first place, yes? Crawling under the table, Dima sat there for a while until his face cooled down. And then slooowly resurfaced.

"Got it." Still no quill to be seen, but WHO CARED? Ginny Weasley's hair and his skin were no longer the same hue. All good.

Speaking of Ginny... uh... what was going on with that? He would have tried to contribute again, but the smartest decision at this point seemed to be NOT talking.

HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED


Puck listened to what Lux and Toby were saying now and couldn’t help but grin. They were going to ACE this weren’t they? She was practically beaming because HELLO her house needed to get out of the red and into the black.

“Lux I think that’s a great point,” Puck nodded as she meant it really, in Ernest. “In a way though, would her focus have technically stayed outward? As she’s caring for her family and not just for herself?” Puck asked and looked between the two.

“Yeah totally makes sense, but I don’t think either would fit more than the other really.” Puck admitted. “Because if you think of it, when most people get married their maiden name isn’t fully lost they transfer it to being like a second middle name…I mean my mum kept her maiden name as a middle name and also kept her middle name as well,” Puck admitted. “April Rose McNevin Greyvson,” she just said the name to prove a point despite the hollow ache it left in her chest. “So if you think about that tendency wouldn’t Hermione’s true name be Hermione Jean Granger Weasley?” She asked and began to jot down her name once more.

SPOILER!!: arithmatic



HERMIONE = 85949655
JEAN = 1515
GRANGER = 7915759
WEASLEY = 5511357

STEP ONE
HERMIONE = 8+5+9+4+9+6+5+5
JEAN = 1+5+1+5
GRANGER = 7+9+1+5+7+5+9
WEASLEY = 5+5+1+1+3+5+7

STEP TWO
HERMIONE = 51
JEAN = 12
GRANGER = 43
WEASLEY= 27

STEP THREE
HERMIONE = 5+1
JEAN = 1+2
GRANGER = 4+3
WEASLEY= 2+7

STEP FOUR
HERMIONE = 6
JEAN = 3
GRANGER = 7
WEASLEY = 9

STEP FIVE
HERMIONE + JEAN + GRANGER + WEASLEY = 6379

STEP SIX
HERMIONE + JEAN + GRANGER + WEASLEY = 6+3+7+9

STEP SEVEN
HERMIONE + JEAN + GRANGER + WEASLEY = 25

STEP EIGHT
HERMIONE + JEAN + GRANGER + WEASLEY = 2+5

STEP EIGHT
HERMIONE + JEAN + GRANGER + WEASLEY = 7


After running the math over once more time Puck looked up, “so with all of the names she had in her life combined her expression number would be a 7.” She nodded. “So if you consider that then I guess the first number would be more fitting to her and be her true expression number.”

As Toby spoke, Lux nodded in agreement with what he was saying. It all made sense and she definitely shared his opinion on the matter. At his question, she was thoughtful before giving an answer. "I would go with her first number, honestly. Not only because it uses her birth name, but because it encompasses a lot of what her second one does but...I guess on a bigger scale if that makes sense. Seeing everything she did when she was younger, I think that is truly who she is and that she would have faced another crisis in a similar manner." That was a lot of rambling on her part and she still was honestly not sure if she made a lot of sense though it was nice that her teammates agreed with what she said. They were such a good team.

She smiled as Puck said she made a great point. "I suppose you're right about that. Maybe I worded it wrong. I just meant that previously she focused it on more of a universal level with the whole Voldemort thing." Because if he had exceeded the muggles would have suffered as well. It would have been a great tragedy and she was so happy that he had been defeated.

As Puck kept talking, Lux was sure she could understand what she was saying but she wasn't positive. "Are you referring to hyphenating?" Because she did know that some people hyphenated and used both their maiden and their husband's last name. "Actually now that I think about it, some women don't change their last name at all when they get married." It was interesting and the thought hadn't dawned on her at all. If their expression number stayed the same, did that mean that marriage hadn't made a huge change as far as their life was concerned?

watching her friend do the math, it was interesting to see that the first number DID hold up. "So I guess that means she WAS more a 7 than anything else despite marriage."

Textbook Interpretation: NINE (9): Your mission in life is to perfect and love unconditionally. Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art. Learning to transform and heal and being receptive and forbearing will bring you closer to your destiny. You're destined for broad horizons. Reach out and help someone.

Questions asked by the professor:
1. Discuss how both numbers' interpretations apply to your woman's life.
2. Is one number better or worse?
3. Is it possible that one could represent the early life and the other later life?


She was about to say something about what Hady had asked when...

Hady's friend Brooklyn decided to join them after all. "Hey," Kate greeted. "I'm Kate." It seemed like the decent thing to do. The professor spoke up then, and Kate realized they may not have much time left. Better get a move on then.

"Well, history teaches us that Ginny, as she was known by her family and friends, really stood by her boyfriend in that final Wizarding War. I remember reading about how she even stood up to Voldemort when she'd thought he'd killed Harry," Kate said. She tapped her index finger against the part of her parchment that defined the number nine. "It says here that a mission of the number nine is to perfect and love unconditionally. She hit that nail right on the head."

Since Kate went ahead to explain what they had been talking about to Brooklyn, Hady took that moment to not down a few quick lines of notes. Spotting Brooklyn trying to read the text upside down she spun her book around for her friend with a small grin.

"I agree Kate but lets not forget her loyalty to her family as well. Also Dumbledores Army she was a huge part of that and also backed her friends and Harry up." She added remembering when she used to her her father to tell her over and over again about Harry Potter and his friends when she was much younger.


The announcement from the professor hardly was met with any acknowledgment from Brooklyn. She didn’t need to say anything, after all. If they weren’t finished with their discussion, that wasn’t her fault. She’d turned blue eyes to the blonde Claw as the girl had spoken to her, however. So her name was Kate. That should be easy to remember. A lot easier than trying to decipher what exactly they were talking about when Arithmancy still seemed confusing to her. Plus, honestly all she really cared to remember about Ginny Weasley Potter was that she was a ginger like her. It meant she was a little bit awesome.

“Why are those two different?,” she asked once Hady had finished speaking. “It’s all love, whether she loves her boyfriend or her family. Friends.” Ginny obviously had picked the right side. That was the only things she cared to know. That and the ginger thing. She remembered some stuff about Quidditch, too, from the stories. She paid attention to Quidditch stuff because of her daddy. “Anyway, so then we’re saying that one sounds like her, or at least that she fits that explanation. What about the other one?” Also known as the number she’d had to find. She referred to the book Hady had helpfully spun around.

FOUR (4): Your mission in life is to build something of lasting value. Your purpose is to be realistic and hard-working, all while keeping order and decorum so that security is assured. Learning to express traditional values and being loyal and constant will move you toward your destiny. You're destined for managing and methodizing. Create the foundation and build on it.
“It talks about loyalty too, so then that would mean it fits her too.” At least, that was what she thought. None of it still made any sort of sense to her.

What.

Gross.

Ew.

Ruby eyed that Dima kid, but luckily Gabriel was setting things straight. Ew.

"My brother is dating your other prefect." Okay? Like, total power couple. How did this little Ravenclaw not know that? Apparently her brother wasn't going for any public snogging sessions in the Ravenclaw common room. She shot him a speculative look and then hid a smile.

... lulz. Gabriel and PDA. Hilar.

"... but its SUPER nice to meet you, Dima." And she knew who Dante Barrington was already ok thanks. Hopefully he'd grow up to be less problematic than his brother.

But now they were talking about things. Ruby didn't glance at the textbook at all since that would be pointless, she just listened to what the boys were saying. THANKFULLY they were reading out the meanings without her having to trick them into it. Totally useful.

"It would be useful to work out what those two meanings have in common to start with don't you boys think?" She looked at Gabe. "I think... both of those sound like there's an underlying connection of... like, loyalty.... number nine through unconditional love, and number four through traditional loyalty, and the ambition to build something lasting... soooo maybe the connecting element there could be... family? And like.... being there for people. For number nine, she had to find love and help her famous hubby like... mentally heal and everything after defeating that scumbag Voldemort, and then once she found it and got married, then it was about building the foundation for a family, which she did, obvy." Just seemed like they flowed into each other pretty good right? Just a thought anyway.

The third year tried busied herself wiggling her toes in her shoes, 'cause in the unfortunate way everything was positioned bouncing would result in a definite textbook-on-the-floor fiasco and that'd just make her look immature. Which she WASN'T.

Ooh! Nine time. That was HER number. Well, and Kace and Adi's but she could be excited anyway, y'know. Norah squinted at her textbook and re-read the number description before looking up and offering, "I think the nine makes sense for the name change 'cause she was starting a family then, right? She married the Ralph guy? Wait, no. The Ron guy." DETAILS, details. "It says nine means you want to love unconditionally 'n stuff, which makes sense with the family thing. And the being perfect stuff can apply to being a wife and a mother AND to being a student and learning, so it's still pretty Hermione-ish." SEEE she could say stuff sometimes. Take that.

Kace heard the sum up version of what Zander thought of number seven. He agreed and commented, "Yeah I agree I think her ways of evaluating situations and learning to show her sharp whit makes her a great example for the number seven." There that was his summation.

Now onto his and Norah's number. They had the number nine. He heard Norah's explanation and agreed with it wholeheartedly. "Yeah what Norah said basically. She took the words right out of my mouth." he grinned towards the little puff. "I also think the learning to transform applied with the new changes of parenthood and all that." he said adding in just a little bit more.

He waited for Adi to see if he had anything else to say.



They had a great team... they all knew so much, and though he'd contributed, he wanted to contribute more. "That all does make sense," he nodded, agreeing with his Puffer team mates.

He was still hooked on the HUMANITARIAN... ism...ous... thing word... yep. It meant something to him, and was perhaps the only thing he could think of really about how Hermione did things at school and carried them on after she graduated. That... spew thing???

"Hermione wanted to help elves and stuff right? like, non-humans? Giving them rights and stuff and so... that's what humanising is isn't it?" he asked out loud, sifting through his thoughts. With his finger on the particular passage from the book, he read.. "Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art." He paused at the end of this and looked up at his group mates. "She had love for her new family, but she also had love for non-human things too... I mean, it started when she was at school but maybe with a family in her life she sorta felt like it mattered even more in the real world, y'know when she continued the spew stuff in the Ministry."

Yes?

No?

Was he being ridiculous?

Hady lifted her shoulders in a shrugging motion to Brooklyn's question on difference in loving family, friends or a boyfriend. She wasn't about to get into how loving different people was just different. It wasn't the time nor place and even if it was she still wasn't bound to talk about it. As of now it didn't. They all were basically in agreement on the first number so it was good to move on.

Just as she shifted over to read the info on the next number from her textbook Brooklyn spoke up to give her thoughts on it. Remaining quiet for a brief moment to think it over Hady had to agree with her friends thoughts. This number too spoke of loyalty and hard work. "Yeah, this one is very much like the first. So I guess it's safe to say Ginny wouldn't really change much as she would always remain loyal to those that matter to her and she always gave her all with everything she did. Whether it was in battles, training or Quidditch."

Ooooh, she got another compliment. Were all Slytherins this nice? So far she had met Beverly and Zhenya and they had both been really cool. Janelle was anxious to hear Beverly's thoughts on the different names, but that would have to wait. It seemed that there would be another member joining their group.



The new girl came over and joined them. Janelle couldn't help but smile at her comment. "You said it.", she replied. She liked numbers, but Arithmancy was a whole different deal. "I'm Janelle", she said. "We were just sharing our answers.". It would be nice to get a third opinion.


She could say that again, but that's why they were in groups to help one another and all that. Huh. It was actually effective. Well...Beverly wasn't complaining now, and that was just because she had pretty cool partners.......and this was a chance to practice being a good Prefect and all that. Shh. Don't look at her.

"Don't worry too much about the numbers right now," she told Domino. "If you need help with that I can tutor you later." Which was laughable considering her skills in Arithmancy, but they could both practice. "Right now we're discussing how the names interpret into Ginny's life before and after her surname changed." She passed her the textbook.

Beverly glanced over at Janelle. "Would you like to repeat what you just said for Domino?" She'd had a interesting point and it might help with understanding.

It made sense that is dealt with Hermione. She was the know it all and had lots of wisdom.

He had a little input too, "And to also mention the fact that she willingly wanted to learn. She came up to the library in this school and always read to keep herself ahead of lessons. I sense dedication there too." She also passed the knowledge down to Harry and Ron and everyone willing to learn. "She also helped the students in Dumbledore's Army and she taught spells and learned their incantations and wand movements and passed it down to Harry." Hermione was the greatest witch of her age. Let's leave it at that.

He looked around and wondered if anyone else had anything to say. He hoped he didn't say too much.

The Gryffindor nodded as Zeke explained a bit a you know, for a second year... Kid sure did know his stuff. Sorta. Just as he went to add on to it, however, a little Hufflepuff came bouncing over and oh. It was the girl who had dropped her quill that one time. He knew her! Sort of. Hearing Adi address her as Norah, he tried to keep that at the back of his mind. "Yeah, more the merrier," Right? The more heads together and maybe they could actually interpret stuff. 'Cause Arithmancy was hard, okay?

But right. He listened patiently as everyone threw in their own two sickles about the matter. "Yeah, she was brilliant. Helped Neville Longbottom out with his school work all the time," he only knew that because of the biography. But it was relevant information at this point, was it not? But anyways... "So her mission in life... It had a lot to do with her wisdom? And that's what the number seven tells us...?" Right?? That was kind of summing it up... Sort of maybe. eh. He was eh at Arithmancy.

As for the other number though... What was that one again? The Prefect had to glance over at the board for a quick second before turning back to the group. "And now for the number 9? That's what you lot got, right?" Double checkin with the puffs, yo.

Zeke nodded along, making a mental note of all this Longbottom and Dumbledore's Army stuff... cause yeah, that was good stuff right there. It was good to know, and it was a shame he didn't already. OH WELL.

It was nice to see that they were all agreeing where number seven was concerned, he only hoped that would continue to the next digit. It was perhaps a good thing he didn't know too much about Hermione, and perhaps better that most of what he knew was when she was of school age. It meant that he would be learning MORE things now.

Quickly skimming the passage in the text, Zeke caught onto the word humanised. HUMANISED. That was really relevant, no? He looked up at his teammates and waited for them to weigh in first.

Which she WASN'T.

Ooh! Nine time. That was HER number. Well, and Kace and Adi's but she could be excited anyway, y'know. Norah squinted at her textbook and re-read the number description before looking up and offering, "I think the nine makes sense for the name change 'cause she was starting a family then, right? She married the Ralph guy? Wait, no. The Ron guy." DETAILS, details. "It says nine means you want to love unconditionally 'n stuff, which makes sense with the family thing. And the being perfect stuff can apply to being a wife and a mother AND to being a student and learning, so it's still pretty Hermione-ish." SEEE she could say stuff sometimes. Take that.

Kace heard the sum up version of what Zander thought of number seven. He agreed and commented, "Yeah I agree I think her ways of evaluating situations and learning to show her sharp whit makes her a great example for the number seven." There that was his summation.

Now onto his and Norah's number. They had the number nine. He heard Norah's explanation and agreed with it wholeheartedly. "Yeah what Norah said basically. She took the words right out of my mouth." he grinned towards the little puff. "I also think the learning to transform applied with the new changes of parenthood and all that." he said adding in just a little bit more.

He waited for Adi to see if he had anything else to say.

They had a great team... they all knew so much, and though he'd contributed, he wanted to contribute more. "That all does make sense," he nodded, agreeing with his Puffer team mates.

He was still hooked on the HUMANITARIAN... ism...ous... thing word... yep. It meant something to him, and was perhaps the only thing he could think of really about how Hermione did things at school and carried them on after she graduated. That... spew thing???

"Hermione wanted to help elves and stuff right? like, non-humans? Giving them rights and stuff and so... that's what humanising is isn't it?" he asked out loud, sifting through his thoughts. With his finger on the particular passage from the book, he read.. "Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art." He paused at the end of this and looked up at his group mates. "She had love for her new family, but she also had love for non-human things too... I mean, it started when she was at school but maybe with a family in her life she sorta felt like it mattered even more in the real world, y'know when she continued the spew stuff in the Ministry."

Yes?

No?

Was he being ridiculous?


Now see this is why they made such an awesome team. Everyone was pitching in with stuff the others had forgotten or left out. Adi nodded in Kace's direction. He had very much forgotten about the DA part.

"Yep, Zander. Nine it was.''
The Puffer went back to his book as the others volunteered more information. Norah... LOL at the Ralph thing. But she made sense too. Get got a nod of approval from her prefect. Zeke got a grin after his next contribution. SPEW was a critical aspect of Hermione's life. Adi liked how the younger ones were able to participate so much. Then he had his own bit to add.

"Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood,''
he quoted. "We knew she had a brother- sister relationship with Harry so we could say that she started that part of her destiny with him. One step at a time, you know.'' Eyes back on the book page, Adi continued, "Reach out and help someone. Well, we all know how more than willing she was to help Harry track down and destroy the Horcruxes. And before that she was always willing to help her fellow students especially Neville, Ron and Harry.''

Janelle listened as Beverly explained what they had been doing, to Domino. She was really good at making a person feel less clueless ad confused. Was that a Prefect requirement. Was her sister that helpful to younger students, she wondered? Anyway, it was time to focus because Beverly had just asked a question.

"Oh sure, I'll repeat it.", Janelle replied. If she could just remember what she'd said before, that is. Turning to Domino, she began. "Well I had Ginny Weasley with her birth name and she was a number nine. The description said something about reaching out and helping someone and she always helped her friends. She even fought for them." Then Janelle peeked at her book to refresh her memory. "There was also a part that said strive for universal brotherhood/sisterhood. Ginny's family was known for being friends with muggles and accepting them. Maybe that had something to do with it." Was that all she'd said? Janelle thought that was pretty much it. She looked at the book again. Maybe there was something else in there that she could connect to Ginny Weasley.

THIS was why Caleb didn't like Ravenclaws...

"Ok so I had Ginny's married name...which comes out to 4. Which is hardworking, organization, endurance...all stuff you need raising a household," he explained. Yeah? Ok Miss Ravenclaw...your turn to show how AWESOME you are...
They didn't need a partner; nothing was required but Tanner had recommended it pretty much. Nonetheless, Tia was not about to get into an argument with the Slytherin Prefect because he was the I'm-better-than-you type judging from his class responses.

SO moving on to other things. Ginevra Weasley. Or Potter.

"Well that makes sense of a married name, because she was raising a household, being a wife and mother of three. Her mission changed to building something of lasting value - a home." The fourth year stated. "Whereas, before she got married, her destiny was a nine, which indicated reach out and help someone. To love unconditionally. She explored her options, learned how to love, both family and friends. She wanted to help for the greater good, being a part of the fight against Voldemort."

Angel smiled at Benny. "Hey! Thanks." Angel had no idea what else to say. "So Benny, what we going to do next?" Angel hoped that Benny knew because they had to discuss the different names of Hermione Potter or her correct name Hermione Granger, she hoped that Benny had a few ideas because at the minute she was struggling for ideas. "I can't see how people can change just because their name changes, like you wouldn't change your personality just because things are different and now you have a new last name."

“Yeah totally makes sense, but I don’t think either would fit more than the other really.” Puck admitted. “Because if you think of it, when most people get married their maiden name isn’t fully lost they transfer it to being like a second middle name…I mean my mum kept her maiden name as a middle name and also kept her middle name as well,” Puck admitted. “April Rose McNevin Greyvson,” she just said the name to prove a point despite the hollow ache it left in her chest. “So if you think about that tendency wouldn’t Hermione’s true name be Hermione Jean Granger Weasley?” She asked and began to jot down her name once more.

STEP EIGHT

After running the math over once more time Puck looked up, “so with all of the names she had in her life combined her expression number would be a 7.” She nodded. “So if you consider that then I guess the first number would be more fitting to her and be her true expression number.”

"I would go with her first number, honestly. Not only because it uses her birth name, but because it encompasses a lot of what her second one does but...I guess on a bigger scale if that makes sense. Seeing everything she did when she was younger, I think that is truly who she is and that she would have faced another crisis in a similar manner." That was a lot of rambling on her part and she still was honestly not sure if she made a lot of sense though it was nice that her teammates agreed with what she said. They were such a good team.

She smiled as Puck said she made a great point. "I suppose you're right about that. Maybe I worded it wrong. I just meant that previously she focused it on more of a universal level with the whole Voldemort thing." Because if he had exceeded the muggles would have suffered as well. It would have been a great tragedy and she was so happy that he had been defeated.

As Puck kept talking, Lux was sure she could understand what she was saying but she wasn't positive. "Are you referring to hyphenating?" Because she did know that some people hyphenated and used both their maiden and their husband's last name. "Actually now that I think about it, some women don't change their last name at all when they get married." It was interesting and the thought hadn't dawned on her at all. If their expression number stayed the same, did that mean that marriage hadn't made a huge change as far as their life was concerned?

watching her friend do the math, it was interesting to see that the first number DID hold up. "So I guess that means she WAS more a 7 than anything else despite marriage."


"Oh, hey, that's a really good point," Toby said in that way of someone who'd just been enlightened on something that had never previously occurred to them. "About how one sort of encompasses parts of the other. Like... the relevant parts. I- oh... oh, OH. I just had a thought."

Look out you guys, 'cause Toby's brain was doing a thing. He went back to looking at his textbook again, suddenly quiet and concentrating after having gotten quite distracted from his own train of thought. He was vaguely aware of Puck beside him doing more calculations and glanced that way a couple of times, but mainly focused on reading through a few of the number descriptions. He placed a finger on the text to mark his place when she spoke up again, and gave her his full attention.

"That's pretty interesting, isn't it? That using both her names in one calculation goes back the that number. I guess if you do calculations for both, though, they need to have definitely used both surnames too. I'm not sure whether she did it, but I know loads of people do." Like his parents now, who'd double-barrelled, which was technically his name too, except he was holding off on using it at school, because of 1. being a relatively private person and 2. avoiding confusion. "Some people totally abandon their old name, for whatever reason. I think she might have switched to the new name, but I dunno for sure. Either way it's neat that it goes back to the seven like that." Like did that meeeeeeean something? Because this was Arithmancy and everything meant something? Or coincidence? Mysterious.

So, SO, his thought from earlier. It was still in Toby's head and he thought it was a good idea to say it now before the thought flew away again.

"What Lux said, about one of Hermione's numbers sort of covering aspects of the other one, that made me think. What if, when someone changes their name, you can use calculations of both names and sort of... cross-reference them. See if aspects of each one match up, and sort of combine and almost fine-tune and use the matching characteristics of the numbers to get a more detailed interpretation?" It technically worked the other way, too, in giving a broader combined definition. But it all depended on how you looked at it, and Toby saw it as a way of seeing more detail about a person. "Does that make sense?"

That last part was probably the sentence Toby said most in this classroom, oops.

Arithmancy Lesson 1: What's in a Name?

Does marriage and taking another name change ones numbers?
"The prevailing choice of ancient Arithmancers, and therefore of your textbook, is to use your birth name for all calculations throughout your lifetime."

"Because name changes tend to correspond with big life changes or decisions, the new school of thought holds that your personality, values, habits, et cetera are impacted to an extent that would make calculations with your new name entirely appropriate."

"The view put forth by the rest of you is somewhere in the middle, using both calculations to gain a better picture of how the name-changing event affects your life. No one has yet, to my knowledge, come up with a mathematical rule for combining calculations with both names."

Discussion: Does Marriage Redefine You?
To understand the present, one must first understand the past. So, my group has decided to compare and contrast Ginevra Molly Weasley to Ginevra Molly Potter...to make our arguments and discussion more accurate.

According to the book (as related by Dima Toussaint), the number NINE as an Expression number reads: Your mission in life is to perfect and love unconditionally. Your purpose is to strive for universal brother-/sisterhood, using your humanitarianism, responsiveness, and healing art. Learning to transform and heal and being receptive and forbearing will bring you closer to your destiny. You're destined for broad horizons. Reach out and help someone.

When she changed her last name, her number changed, as well. The number FOUR as an Expression number reads (as related by Dante Barrington): Your mission in life is to build something of lasting value. Your purpose is to be realistic and hard-working, all while keeping order and decorum so that security is assured. Learning to express traditional values and being loyal and constant will move you toward your destiny. You're destined for managing and methodizing. Create the foundation and build on it.

Hand finally pausing over the parchment, Gabe regarded the words.

...and he was STILL blushing a little.

"Perhaps her views....changed after she married. She decided she.....wanted different things in life....." The words were a bit rushed and sometimes quiet. He glanced to his sister. Did Ruby have anything to add? Did Dima and Dante....have anything else?

Dima's cheeks flushed until they were a brighter shade of red than the ripest tomato in Groundskeeper Millard's vegetable patch. SISTER?

"I'm... sorry..." Er. The thirteen year old cleared his throat awkwardly, then immediately followed up his choppy apology with, "I think I dropped my quill." Obviously, NO ONE had noticed he hadn't been holding one in the first place, yes? Crawling under the table, Dima sat there for a while until his face cooled down. And then slooowly resurfaced.

"Got it." Still no quill to be seen, but WHO CARED? Ginny Weasley's hair and his skin were no longer the same hue. All good.

Speaking of Ginny... uh... what was going on with that? He would have tried to contribute again, but the smartest decision at this point seemed to be NOT talking.

"My brother is dating your other prefect." Okay? Like, total power couple. How did this little Ravenclaw not know that? Apparently her brother wasn't going for any public snogging sessions in the Ravenclaw common room. She shot him a speculative look and then hid a smile.

... lulz. Gabriel and PDA. Hilar.

"... but its SUPER nice to meet you, Dima." And she knew who Dante Barrington was already ok thanks. Hopefully he'd grow up to be less problematic than his brother.

But now they were talking about things. Ruby didn't glance at the textbook at all since that would be pointless, she just listened to what the boys were saying. THANKFULLY they were reading out the meanings without her having to trick them into it. Totally useful.

"It would be useful to work out what those two meanings have in common to start with don't you boys think?" She looked at Gabe. "I think... both of those sound like there's an underlying connection of... like, loyalty.... number nine through unconditional love, and number four through traditional loyalty, and the ambition to build something lasting... soooo maybe the connecting element there could be... family? And like.... being there for people. For number nine, she had to find love and help her famous hubby like... mentally heal and everything after defeating that scumbag Voldemort, and then once she found it and got married, then it was about building the foundation for a family, which she did, obvy." Just seemed like they flowed into each other pretty good right? Just a thought anyway.


Why was Dima's and Gabriel's faces going red in this group right now? It was just a question and Gabriel and Ruby answered it. "Okay, Brother and Sister" Perfect. Now they could get on with the work and such. Dante thought looking between Dima and Gabriel. Though not so much Dima since he slide under his seat looking for a quill or something.

Shrug.

Maybe he did lose his quill. Who knows. Dante will give him the benefit of the doubt. Whatever that means. And see he found it. Dante listened to Ruby and liked that answer. It made sense to him at least. "Yeah it sounds like the thing that links the two is loyalty. Either through love or hard work."

That was all he got. So...yeah let's just go with Ruby's answer. Sounds good to him
