Jamie had been sitting at the BACK of the classroom for the whole introductory thing. Arithmancy wasn't his subject, at all. When the Professor began the lesson, the boy came out of his daze and sat up straight, finally listening. Pythagoras sounded very familiar, but he had no idea that it was a relevant person.

Errrrr.. the question meant nothing to him, but led him to think of all the coincidences that had occurred in his life.

Maybe he would just mention one of the more important ones, so he raised his hand. "A black cat tried to kill me once, you know, the ones that are bad luck." Everyone knew they were bad luck, right? "So, yeah... that was a coincidence... seeing as it was a BLACK cat." Or maybe they really were bad luck?

What was the question even? And what did it have to do with numbers? He shut up now and kept his head low.
