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]Isabella Romanes made her way into the Arithmancy classroom as per usual. She could not wait until it was Brightstone weekend so she could spend some quality time with her boyfriend. Isabella missed Demeter but she was mainly happy that someone liked her enough, and made her feel like her older sister, Ostensia. Isabella looked up at Professor Snow in the classroom, and she could admit that she would miss this professor more than her own Head of House. Professor Snow was incredible, warming and caring. There was nothing more admirable than that. Isabella waited for a while before the class would begin. This was the NEWT course so she expected this class to be much more difficult than it was panning out to be, but it was the only second week into the class. So the work was just really starting, and Isabella was looking forward to it with all of her might and will power.

Professor Snow started inon the lesson and how they were going to love it. And then they were being told a story. The story was about a traveler, a she in fact. It went form her birth and then how she traveled. There was so much that the woman went through. She had a 7 life path, and that meant a lot, and how the woman liked to walk everywhere and take adventures. Isabella looked down at her hands and she wondered what her life path would bring her in her life. She was not entirely sure but she wanted a family, children. Lots of little kids. Well, not a lot, but several. Isabella heard that it was time to leave. She did enjoy the lesson today, and she liked the story that went along with it. She packed her belongings and she left the classroom with a subtle smile on her face.
