Lesson Four:

[justify]     Professor Snow sat on the edge of her desk as she looked over the any extra credit assignments submitted the previous week regarding the Heart's Desire. She easily understood that the students would be anxious to begin their calculations, but Effie also knew that they would need to exercise a little patience if they were to gain the most benefit from this exercise. Arithmancy required patience and the sooner they all learned that the better it would be for them in the end. As the final student settled into their chair, Professor Snow began today's lesson.

"Good afternoon everyone. I hope you're all having a good day so far! As you should recall, the Heart's Desire is about your passions and deepest wishes, things that many people keep hidden from others and often, even themselves. For this calculation, you should use the name that you usually call yourself and use only the vowels contained within the name itself. You will add the values of the vowels as you did last year and like last year not reduce further if, after completing the calculations, your number is an 11 or 22. Please feel free to refer to Chapter Five in your textbook for a review of the number chart and the corresponding explanations for your results." Professor Snow stated softly as she pointed her wand at the board and the homework was revealed. Of course she felt sort of bad for giving them some but sometimes she just needed to. Plus today's lesson was not very long so the homework made up for the shortness. "Sorry guys, you have homework this week. Class dismissed."


I N S T R U C T I O N S:
1) RP the lesson
2) Calculate your Heart’s Desire and locate the description in Chapter Five of your textbook Comment on the result.

Mima sat down in the classroom, brushing back her hair and giving a light sigh of exhaustion. If she stopped to think about it - something she honestly didn't have as much time for as she liked - Mima was happy this semester, because she was constantly busy. Sure, she lazed about a bit, but she was taking a lot of classes this semester, her mind was constantly working, and she simply didn't have the time to get caught up in negative thoughts and energy. Her energy, as it was, was entirely devoted to getting things done. She knew, deep down, that when she had less to do next semester, she'd surely slack off, but for now, it was best to keep at it and get her work done.

Arithmancy, like Divination, was work, but it afforded her time to think. Thinking was often dangerous, thinking led to self-doubt and misery. However, she was working through that. Thinking shouldn't give her time to bash on herself, she'd mused. It was about reflection and careful consideration.

However, with a lack of thinking and reflection came a lack of ambition and direction.

Pushing that aside, Mima sat down to her calculations once Professor Snow had given them their short lecture and dismissed them to their homework. Use only the vowels... She was slow when it came to mathematics, but she tried hard to get the right results, and she worked methodically.

Hufflepuff, Fourth Year
Arithmancy, Lesson Four

The Heart's Desire is calculated using the vowels of the name you use. Since I use my first and last name, that would be 'Mima Scarlet', giving me the vowels 'I', 'A', 'A', 'E'.

I = 9
A = 1
A = 1
E = 5

= 9 + 1 + 1 + 5
= 16
= 1 + 6
= 7

Therefore, my Heart's Desire number is 7.

According to Numerology and Grammatica, the 7 is 'happy to be alone', a 'mystic and philosopher', and made uncomfortable by close relationships. I guess, therefore, that, teamed with the readings I have been undertaking in Divination, reveal my heart's desire as desiring to be alone in order to strike out and achieve my dreams (whatever those may be - they may have something to do with a desire to understand and ponder on the meanings of existence).
