Lesson 2 Professor Snow finished grading up some papers for her fifth years when she glanced up at the clock and noticed that it was almost time for the Seventh years to arrive. Today’s lesson was a bit interesting to her, whomever taught this class before her and thought of this was truly a genius! Effie had never thought of teaching a lesson like this, but she would do her best to be as effective in teaching a lesson like that as he was. ”Hello everyone, please sit..your going to love today’s lesson!” Professor Snow smiled softly and picked up the book that she was supposed to read and moved to the front of her desk where she sat down on it and crossed her legs. She wondered if kids still enjoyed story at this age like most did when they were small children. ”Once there was a traveler who was born--just like all souls--with a mission. From the moment of her birth, a seed was planted deep within her being to walk entirely around the Earth. She came into this life with a wide variety of latent abilities. Her time in the crib was part of her journey, as were her first attempts at crawling and her first steps. In fact, her birth was actually her first "step" on her journey. As she grew, it was clear to any thoughtful observer that her life, like all lives, was heading toward "something" or "somewhere". As she became of age to travel outside of her community, it was with fond farewells that her loved ones expressed their parting words of love and support. As she traveled each day, month, and year the path was constantly changing. However, what didn't change was what excited and motivated her as she walked along the path. Her travels brought her into contact with many other people and, as people do, they had their own perceptions of who she was and what she was doing. Since she was well nurtured as a young girl, she knew that other's impressions of her were... well, their impressions. As she was becoming more adept in her daily walking, it was also becoming clear to her that she had her strengths and weaknesses. To her credit, she continually practiced turning her weaknesses into strengths. She knew that they were not personal defects but instead were gifts placed within her being to develop her being in new ways. She walked through the countryside. She walked through various towns cities, states/provinces and... eventually, countries. She walked, lived life, and experienced the path. Sometimes the path was fraught with difficulties while at other times it provided sure footing under her (rather tired) feet. And yes, for all of you readers with a 7 Life Path, she occasionally enjoyed passage on ships. She's quite a person but it's too much of a stretch to say she walked on water! After much more walking, she actually began to include continents traveled in her journal of events. Finally, at the end of the last continent, she looked back over her travels. All of the people, places, and things. She pondered what she had added to her soul and the world in which she had walked.” Effie sighed and closed the book, that was quite a bit of reading but she still found the story pleasurable to read all the same. It reminded her that she should probably visit the library sometime soon for a book of her own to read. Clearing her throat quickly she allowed another soft smile to creep it’s way onto her face. "I doubtthat I need to provide you with an explanation. But, it is provided for you in case you feel that you need any clarification of the message behind the story. As you can see, there are parts of the story that still need to be told and we will cover them in the coming weeks. For this week, please feel free to review the story and its teachings. When you are finished reading the board, you are free to leave.” Effie pulled out her wand and tapped it on the board so that some writing appeared within moments. The seventh years this year were all bright, so she knew they’d be able to get the meanings without the board, but you never know.

[justify]Despite the talks that Ai had with people about her pregnancy, it did nearly nothing to soothe the worries that were ever present within her. So, it was quite a surprise that she was continuously holding up with her duties, responsibilities and academics. If possible, she was striving to be even more responsible than she was. She knew that this would not help her evade the looming judgmental words of the people surrounding her but that did not stop her in the least. Today was a day for classes once again and Ai tried her best to ready herself for it. After all, she promised herself that she would do well for her future and her child's. Never mind meeting people's expectations and making others accept her. She was through with that and she had bigger things to prioritize. Things that mostly ran through her mind everytime she entered class. Today with Arithmancy was an interesting enough subject. Sure, she did not have the best grades to back up said interest, but she found the lessons quite enjoyable to say in the least. Besides, it was her Head of House that was teaching the lesson which made her all the more determined to get through and pass her lessons. The Head Girl merely sat silently in her seat and listened attentively to the Professor's story. Amusing was an understatement in the opinion of the Hufflepuff. In fact, she had found the story to be great. It was not because of the girl's travels but because of the many ways the story could be interpreted and it left holes for the readers to fill up. And when you analyze it, it could lead to deep meanings that was up to the reader or listener to decipher. All in all, Ai had enjoyed today's Arithmancy lesson and she was looking forward to the next. [/justify] |
