He was determined to get back in her good books so waited for the next question to be answered. Now, no matter what question was likely to come out of Professor Hadley's mouth, there was NO chance Elijah was going to know the real answer, so he devised a plan...
The first person to put up their hand was a Huffie girl. Ella, he thought her name was - they met briefly in Care of Magical Creatures, maybe? Or maybe she was one of his admirers that kept coming up to him to tell him how gorgeous he was... ANYWAY.
As Ella raised her hand, Elijah raised his hand in unison. Part one: complete. As the girl began to speak, Elijah's jaw began to move, copying everything she was saying, just a millisecond later than her perhaps, but LOUDER to ensure his answer was the one that was heard. "Left out... because... considered.... HOLY number!"
He gave his biggest smile, smug at how he KNEW this one. Sorta. He turned round to his good friend Vickers, "Look Vickers! I knew one!" So what if everyone in the class was giving a variety of different answers, he was FIRST... kinda.

After they gave HER answer...in unison at that...Ella turned to look at the boy incredulously. Really, Romeo? REALLY? And in all honesty, Ella was actually quite impressed by his plan cause he clearly wasn't an expert in Arithmancy and Ella OWNED in this class so he had good taste...in people to steal answers from. But DUDE. SO not cool. She frowned at him, eyebrows raised before turning back to the front. Hmph. He wouldn't be doing that all class, would he? CrazyAnswerStealerStealingAnswersFromASecondYear.
Vickers glanced at his Potions--now Arithmancy-- buddy with a tight-lipped smile and a firm nod. He answered correctly. But he also answered with an echo. An echo that sounded strangely like a girl. Should he tell Elijah that if he yells loud enough he sounds like a girl? Shifting in his seat slightly he spotted a Hufflepuff girl throwing dagger-looks at his buddy. Yeah hello there echo.
Face back to front with the tight-lipped smile still in place, he scribbled a few notes on his parchment trying not to chuckle out loud.
