Lesson One:


[justify]     Professor Effie was seated at her large oak desk pouring over a variety of complicated charts and calculations, already preparing lessons for those students who might be successful at reaching the study of Arithmancy beyond fourth year. Some students just didn't have it in them but she understood that Arithmancy wasn't for everyone. If she remembered correctly a lot of her siblings were really bad at it but she ended being skilled with it. Her soft different colored eyes remained focused intently on the information before him until she heard the sound of footsteps. Softly Effie lifted her face and smiled brightly at the entering students. She had an interesting year of lessons planned for the students and she expected that they would enjoy it as well. The expected silence arrived once she rose from her chair, and softly Professor Snow began.

"As you should recall, your first year of study introduced you to the Pythagorean Number System and the Core Concepts. You were required to make precise calculations, make some inferences based upon your results, and ultimately, draw conclusions based upon your understanding of the subject matter and yourself." Professor Snow waved her wand and a familiar looking table appeared on the blackboard to the students left.

Quote:
 
THE CORE CONCEPTS

Life Path:

The Life Path is at the heart of your being. It tells you what you are really like. Its qualities want to be utilized and acknowledged. It is what is innate and natural for you. It is the vibration in which your soul has chosen to ground its essence.


Birth Day:

Your specific day of birth may direct you to added understanding of what you are here to do. It often combines with other energies to help them develop.


Expression:

The name you were given at birth tells a wonderful story and is what you must be in this life. It is a 'Divine Promise' of opportunity. When embracing the qualities of this vibration, you find that your soul adds to its experiences, knowledge, and growth. In the Expression number, you will find evidence of your purpose.


Heart's Desire:

This vibration comes from the vowels in your name. The vowels are said to be very sacred and in some languages were so respected they were never written. The Heart's Desire provides insight into your soul's deepest urges and values. You will find your most essential motivations here. This part of you also wishes to harmonize with your other core vibrations so that you may express fully all that you are.


Personality:

The information within the Personality gives us an understanding of how others may attempt to see and direct us. It provides us with insight on which aspects of our personality others may recognize and validate. Ultimately, it is the influence the outer world has on us.


     Professor Snow lightly surveyed the group around the room and proceeded, assured that she had their undivided attention because they were all quiet and alert. Or so it seemed. "At the end of last year, you were each required to do some preliminary work in the determination of your Life Path and the impact of your Birth Day. The emphasis of this year’s study will be on the latter three elements listed. Today, we will begin with the first element, the Expression." Professor Snow paused her lecture for a moment. She knew that the students would be disappointed that they would not be afforded the opportunity to actually calculated their Expression Number today, but they needed to possess a thorough understanding of what the Expression meant before they could do any interpretation justice. Clearing her throat softly she sighed and started to talk again. "As alluded to earlier, the name given at birth shares the promise of an untold story. The name contains potential direction and points to qualities you can cultivate during your life. By paying careful attention to this vibration, you will realize a wonderful opportunity and a divine promise."

Professor Effie Snow gave the students an opportunity to finish taking some notes and then continued. "The Expression points to purpose, but it is most typical that young people like yourselves are more aware of other core parts during the early stages of their life. As they become comfortable with their other core parts and find ways to balance them, their Expression becomes more evident. As people mature, the destiny actually transforms. As the Expression becomes more integrated it will deepen the connection with other parts. It is as if the other parts are eager to join in and assist in helping attain life purpose." There was much, much more to the Expression, but it would have to wait until next week. Effie didn't want to put too much through their heads. She didn't want to overwhelm them. The students would need to learn patience and he was precisely the professor to offer this important lesson. "That is all for today." She stated in a caring voice as she waved them all to leave. They all looked tired. But it was their first week back so she understood that they were probably getting used to being back at school.

[justify]     Proserpina Laurent made her way into the Arithmancy classroom. Her head of house taught the interesting class which made her love it even more. It was difficult to recall anything she had learned the previous year, yet she was positive that it was something grand. She took her seat at the front of the class, eager to learn as much as possible. Proserpina wondered if there would be anyone else in here to learn with her but it was something she highly doubted. Once it was time to begin, Proserpina made sure to have her notes out and ready to start writing because she was eager to know as much as possible. Professor Snow reminded them that last year, they were introduced to the Pythagorean Number System and the Core Concepts. That certainly brought up memories! Words appeared onto the backboard, and she started to get to writing. They were covering all of that? Well, they were going to be focusing on the latter three elements. The first one would be the Expression.

     The fourth year Hufflepuff wondered if they were going to be calculated today or not. She thought so, but she could not remember if that happened last year. Her quill continued to scratch at the parchment to write as much as possible down for the lesson over the Expression. There was just so much, but Proserpina made sure that she had everything down. It seemed like she did because Professor Snow had stopped talking for now. Then there was her saying in that warm voice that it was all for today. Proserpina let out a sigh, and she put the notes that she had taken away. They were free to leave. She packed her things up and she soon left the classroom for the time being. However she could not wait for the next lesson!
