"Perfect. You four. Come up to the chalkboard and calculate the family name number for your respective head of house." Because they should all know who that was and if they didn't? Then they had a problem.
Now what to do about the slow Ravenclaw? "You sir. Can come on up as well..." And clean up the chalk dust. Explain why it's necessary to be quick? "And you're going to interpret the meanings for each of the family name numbers of each of the heads of houses." You better not let me down, Carmicheal. Or I'll be speaking to Max personally.
Emily walked up to the black board, her head of house... hhmmm who could forget the very attractive Professor Vindictus.
Picking up a piece of chalk Emily wrote up the Professor's biological name, then she began to calculate his Family name number.
