In her third year, when students were allowed to start picking elective classes, there had been quite a few students in it. But every year there were fewer and fewer continuing the class. Arithmancy was a branch of divination, but most students found it much less exciting than a 'real' divination class. The lack of tea leaves and crystal balls made it hard for them to focus and believe in it. For her, it made more sense than trying to make out blob masses of tea leaves. Numbers were logical.<br/><br/>"M-my name? My social number is a four...that represents practical, reliable, and down-to-earth people. My heart number is an eight. Eights are good with business, finance, politics, and numbers in general. But my character number is a three. I'm not like a three at all though..." she shrugged, "Threes are supposed to be artistic and talented. Arithmancy isn't perfect I guess. Just like any other form of divination it has it's flaws."<br/><br/>Brutus was right in his thinking. She did enjoy the company, even if she felt he would get bored with her quickly. It was nice to be able to talk once in a while.
