Okay, so everyone was out, right? She could lock up? But just as Josephina was about to do that, a young Gryffindor first year turned back around and asked a question.

We're calling it a paragram because of the fact that the sums of each line should be equal ... or some sort of pattern the total values of each line," Fina explained, hoping this clarified it some.
