Lesson Five:

[justify]     Professor Effie Snow was trying to organize a bit of her room before her class of Fourth Years arrived. When the school year began normally her room was spic and span. But as the year went on it always got a little disorganized and messy. Effie hated it but since it seemed to happen every year she learned to just live with it and try to keep it as organized as she could. The sound of shuffling feet alarmed her and she lowered the feather duster she was using to keep her bookshelf clean and free of dust. Her class had arrived already? Well that was just brilliant! Effie put the duster away and smiled softly. Might as well begin today's lesson! " Welcome back guys! The Heart's Desire was determined by using the vowels of our given name." She opened the lesson. Hopefully it got their attention because she wanted them to pay close attention to this lesson. "Vowels are considered almost sacred and have a strong correspondence with our inner self. It should not come as a surprise to you then to learn that the consonants contained within your name have an important role in determining how the outer world sees you and interacts with you accordingly. The consonants give us what we in Arithmancy refer to as The Personality." Professor Snow glanced around the room and seeing that all of the students were focused, continued on with the lesson. They seemed to be on top of things today and that made her proud. Her students were so well behaved and such, sometimes Effie considered baking the poor dears sweets because she felt bad that they always came in here so well behaved and she didn't do much more than lecture their ear off with Arithmancy. "Have you ever had someone tell you that you would be good at something and then heard it again later from someone else? Perhaps as time went by you may have found yourself actually involved in activities which utilized the qualities they saw in you. And maybe as more time went by, you realized that you were quite capable in this area, but that it didn't truly feel like what you really desired or felt motivated to do."

Professor Snow paused for a moment, to let them catch up if they were taking any notes for this. When it looked like the Quills were no longer moving she started again; "What I am describing is the influence the outer world has on us. The Personality number has qualities that are very much a part of us. We may be content with what this vibration has to offer for a while. However, it is the Heart's Desire vibration that assists us in reaching our full potential. The Heart's Desire will lead us to a greater fulfillment found within our Expression vibration. As you will recall, the Expression includes both the vowels of the Heart's Desire and the consonants of the Personality in your name." Professor Snow stated softly. By this point she had stopped pacing back and forth and turned to face the students from the front of the class, directly in front of her desk. "“So how do we use the Personality vibration? It's simple, we incorporate it. In doing so, we recognize that the Personality is an added dimension of our nature, but never forget that it is not the full capacity that exists within us. We are capable of much greater things. Allow the Personality in as a supporting influence, but do not allow it to direct the whole show. I suppose that is it for the day as well, copy down the homework and I will you all next week!" Professor Snow turned away from her students, pointed her wand at the board and their homework was revealed. Once they copied it down they were all allowed to leave.

Having just had a nice cup of tea, Mima entered the Arithmancy classroom feeling rather content. Sitting down in a refined manner - crossing her legs daintily at the ankles and placing her hands on her lap, she looked up at Professor Snow with a smile, listening carefully to what her teacher had to say.

Since the vowels represented the Heart's Desire, the consonants represented the Personality, or how the outer world saw you. Mima was curious to what hers would say, and was itching to start the calculations. She wondered how people outside of her family saw her. She was a little bit too shy to get to know people well enough to find out.

It was important, then, as Professor Snow said, to acknowledge the Personality and incorporate it in to one's life, but not to let it get in the way of the Heart's Desire, and what the inner self wanted in life. Mima, of course, being only fourteen, still was entirely unsure what her heart actually wanted (aside from, apparently, independence), but one day she'd know, and then she'd follow her heart where it led. At least, she'd certainly try to.

Copying down the homework, Mima scurried off to the Hufflepuff Common Room to finish her homework. She liked to do her Arithmancy homework there in case she needed Professor Snow's help. Usually, she stubbornly plodded through it, however.

Hufflepuff, Fourth Year
Arithmancy, Lesson Five

The Personality number is calculated using the consonants of the name, whilst the Heart's Desire is calculated using the vowels. As such, the letters for my name would be M, M, S, C, R, L, T, where M = 4, S = 1, C = 3, R = 9, L = 3 and T = 2.

Therefore,
4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 9 + 3 + 2
= 26
= 2 + 6
= 8

My personality number is, then, number 8, which is given as someone who is 'demanding and bossy but hard on themselves as well as others', amongst other things. I suppose people not knowing me might find me a bit standoffish. I don't think I'd be really good with finances, though, except for the fact that I don't spend my money that much. But I can see where people would perceive me in this way, and maybe I can be like that sometimes. It is certainly something I will keep in mind as I grow and discover what I want to do in life!
