Two, hmmm, Mr. Gurrier?
... Interesting, very interesting... Wonderful work! Clearly whatever extra studying you have done has paid off...

[[OOC: Year, name, house, descrip, number, yep, all there! ^.^]]

yozak_gurrier2 April 18 2009, 02:43:23 UTC

Dorothy Catalonia, 3rd year Slytherin: Did well on her paper as she chose the number 4-her brows have four points! ;)

13th_illusion April 17 2009, 23:57:56 UTC

Four, Miss Catalonia?
... Hmm, it seems to fit you wonderfully, good work.

slytherinsbrows April 18 2009, 00:03:13 UTC

Why thank you Professor.

Odd... Not bad work at all, very curious though... Seems more than a few of you have a connection of some sort with that number... Interesting...

Though perhaps next time a number you're a little more interested in might be better? Perhaps try 8 next time...

Heh, call it 'intuition' if you like... I just think perhaps it might fit... Research it if you like...

Shin Sawada [5th Gryffindor]: He wrote about the number 9, seeing as it's his number. He does the complete 12 inches of work.

In Chinese numerology, it is equated to "longevity" or "long in time" while two of them together result in the meaning of "doubly long in time," which can also be taken to mean as "eternal." Since it is comprised of three threes [3 + 3 + 3 = 9], it is thus seen as a number of "completeness." Going on that train of thought, it's also seen as a whole and complete circle [360°, hence 3 + 6 + 0 = 9].

9 is seen as a complete number for another interesting reason: if nine is multiplied by any other number, it always reproduces itself (3 x 9 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9; 7 x 9 = 63 = 6 + 3 = 9; 13 x 9 = 117 = 1 + 1 + 7 = 9, 18 x 9 = 162 = 1 + 6 + 2 = 9; 132 x 9 = 1188 = 1 + 1 + 8 + 8 = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9). These are among a couple of the examples he uses in his paper.
