Good Day, everyone. Today you will be finding different things that are compatible with you. For example, my number is eight, thus I should eat coffee, water, and ham.
It will be best if you keep a sheet with things that are compatible. Take out a piece of parchment and number it from 1 to 9. Do the same for two more sheets. You may also want to take out you chart.
I want you to find a food, animal and emotion that is compatible with your number. You may now start calculating.


I know that we only have twenty minutes left, but I will pass out arithmancy calculators. With these, you enter what you are trying to calculate, then add the three numbers together.


Put away your quills and ink now. Your Homework is to find something that is compatible with each number. Class is dimissed

Welcome, my dears, welcome. I am quite pleased with how you did last class, so I just wanted to begin with learning the what certain signs mean. The first ten that will be learned are:
The Arrow
The Coin
The Circle
The Owl
The Triangle

Please turn to your partner and tell them what you think each one means. I will give you a few minutes to dicuss, then I shall tell you the answers...



I hope that you are finish, because I would like you to look up here. I will now tell you what each one means. You may wish to write these down for future referrance. Especially you, my boy. You will find it difficult to remember these. All quills out? Very well:
The Arrow - Bad news in a letter
The Coin - Payment of Debt
The Circle - Love
The Owl - Bad Health
The Triangle - Unexpected Events

I ask that you devote yourself to these signs and remember them for next class. Good fortune to you, my dears.

I am glad to see that you are all here. Today I thought that I would test you on your homework. You may use your notes, but only the ones you wrote out yourself.

1. How do you pronounce ‘Tepes’?
2. What does it mean?
3. How many brothers did Vlad have?
4. What was his native country?
5. How do you explain Vlad Tepes being able to rule muggles for so long with only one discovering his true nature?

Please put down your pen now and put away your quills. I will come around and collect your parchment. When I have collected yours, you are allowed to go. There will be no homework.

Slytherin Time: 11:00
Welcome back, class. Please take out you sheet of runes and put it in front of you. Now I want you to practice writing words using the first nine runes. At first, use your sheet, but as you get better, try it without your sheet. I will give you about twenty minutes to do this.


Please look back up here, class. I will now give you each a scroll to translate. Try to do it without looking at your sheet, but if you really cannot remember a letter, you may look.
I do know that these sentences are nonsense, but they are all formed from the first nine letters of the alphabet. As always, click on the image to get a better view.



If I could have your attention please! I want you to hand in both your own sentences and your translations. Your Homework is to write five more sentences in runic using the first nine letters. Next week we will move onto the next nine. Class is dismissed.

For your first spell, I am going to start you off with a simple transfiguring of

Needle to Match
Following the above diagram, you can see the transformation from a needle to a match. Remember yesterday's notes, and don't expect to do it on your first try. Most people take at least two days to master their first transfiguring spell. The spell is acuincendo. Please take out you wand and begin.

I will come around and examine your work. Once I have seen your match or needle, then you may go to your next class. Your
Homework is to practice.
