Daer Hermoine, I read that Arithmancy is the prediction of the future through 
numbers and number charts. However, though this was the actual use of the 
subject a long time ago, this does not sound like something hermoine would 
like, I was under the impression that she hated divination in all forms. I 
agree however that the word Vector implies the use of (muggle?) numbers.
