"Again with the Arithmancy magazines, Hadley?"

Ellie was here.

But...seriously. Like...seriously? There can't be THAT many updates of sorts with the subject could there? And the sixth year still didn't understand why it was interesting enough for a magazine to actually publish it and thrive. Unless the company wasn't really thriving, and they were just pretending everything's okay to hide the shame of the fact that no one cared about Arithmancy.

Except Hadley, of course. She was always an exception, though, right?

Right. Because that was why Ellie still attended these lessons.

As she walked to her usual seat, the redhead gave the professor a cheeky smile, that anyone else would see and realize she was joking about the magazine bit, but Hadley would probably think was just...cheeky. Because again, she was Hadley, and she was the exception.

But oh well. It was almost the end of the term. And Ellie didn't care. Summer couldn't come fast enough.
