But she calculated Wenlock's number; FINALLY, a Hufflepuff did so! And she even recognized the fact that the famous Arithmancer had a Master Number! "Good, good. On Bridget Wenlock's family name number anyway."
Glenn watched the professor check her work. Wait. Why was she frowning? She looked away from her own work to see what everyone else was doing. And that was not their own names. Whoops.
She crossed out her work, a little frustrated. Why did she always mess this up? "Sorry. I- I didn't realise."Glenn assumed from her teacher's expression that she had got it wrong anyway. Making sure that everyone was just waiting, she set about correcting her answer that she- well wasn't really supposed to be doing anyway. But wait. What had she got wrong? She didn't raise her hand but frowned and stared at her calculations for a couple of minutes, trying to figure out what she had gotten wrong before she realised the teacher had moved on. Quote:

Oh Merlin. She had spent a lot longer on the question she wasn't supposed to be doing than she had realised. Some people were even getting up and leaving now!
Glenn scribbled madly in her book, trying to figure out the answer for Wenlock's Growth Number. Hmm. Well that was interesting. Providing she had actually added it right this time.
