Riley had been sitting in the lesson listening vaguely to Professor Hadley speaking of Arithmancy. He still simmered inside after what she had down to his and Evelyn's artwork and really could care less about the points loss.

After the Riley practice rounds happened, the Gryffindor decided he would go ahead and start at least one sentence like the Professor had mentioned. And he did not reduce. Nope!



Hmpf, so much for the classwork getting his mind off of things. But he did want house points so, oh well.
