three whole points from Ravenclaw. They were in third place for the house cup, and at this stage in the competition, every point counted. However, he turned back to Professor Hadley with a smile as she addressed his question.

Right then, it probably time to move on. "If you need to recheck your calculations, feel free to do so at the end, but for now we're going to move onto another number that tends to work hand-in-hand with the pinnacles. This calculation can be fairly confusing as well and a bit more advanced, so if you're younger and don't feel comfortable completing it just yet, then you're welcome to just take notes." She paused and glanced around the room quickly before continuing. "It is a number that you must not overcome, but rather indicative of what you should become. Does anyone know what this number is?" For all you bookworms out there who read ahead in the textbook... hehe
Roderigo nodded slowly, scribbled down what Professor Hadley said in a small corner of parchment and then smiled again. He figured it was time to sit down, and he made his way through the sea of desks and back into his seat. But then he jumped up suddenly, having forgotten to grab his textbook. He ran back up to the front of the class awkwardly, grabbed the book, and ran back to his seat. He then proceeded to open the book up to chapter after Pinnacles; Chapter Twenty-Three: The Challenges. But before he could answer Professor Hadley's question, about four other people did. Shrugging, he pulled out a fresh piece of parchment and decided to switch his normal black ink to dragon's blood ink, just for the fun of it.

Looking at his textbook he had no idea where to look so he just flipped it to the next chapter and shouted out the heading, hoping it was right. "Professor is it the The Expression/Destiny Number?" he said eagerly.
Roderigo spun around in his chair. It was Riley Sinclair, his Gryffindor pal. The Spaniard hadn't even noticed him in the classroom, and would have sat next to Riley had he seen him. He waved to him, smiling.
"Where'd you see that?" he asked curiously, having not read about Expression/Destiny Numbers.

Now Riley brought up another good point. "If you get a negative number, which is extremely likely, then it's fine. Just take away the negative sign and its positive. It means something, but we won't worry about for now..."
Right then. "Can I get four volunteers again, please? Preferably different from before and again, one from each house... Age isn't of concern as long as you feel confident in your ability to attempt these difficult calculations."
Looking back up at the front of the classroom, Roderigo leaned back in his chair, knowing he wouldn't volunteer since he had just done so for the Pinnacles.
