Yeah, Penelope didn't really know the answers to any of the questions, so she just sort of sat there in her seat kinda listening, but mostly just hoping this spell they were talking about wasn't something they were going to practice today. She didn't really feel like failing after all. And so far, things seemed to be going her way.

They had to figure out this crypto-thingy now though, but at least it wasn't a spell. She just had to use her brain a little, which was something she had far more success with than using her wand.

So she scribbled the random letters down, as well as the hint that D meant C for it, and started working.

XOBWEIXSDZ DXS CQ AOXDWBDXP!

D = C

XOBWEIXSCZ CXS CQ AOXCWBCXP!


So...now what? That big long one looked really hard so she moved on to the smaller ones. What three-letter words did she know of that started with a C? There was "can".......and that was the only one she could think of off the top of her head. So she decided to try it and switched the other letters out in the rest of the words.

AOBWEIANCZ CAN CQ AOACWBCAP!


Well that helped...a little. She...sorta knew what the first one now was? Penelope eyed it for a moment before deciding to give it a try.

ARITHMANCY CAN CQ ARACWICAP!


That filled in a lot! And...she supposed she could guess the two-letter one now? There was only one two letter word she could think of that would work with this.

ARITHMANCY CAN BE ARACWICAP!


And now she decided to just run off the alphabet in her head to figure out these last few letters. One of them was bound to just sound right, right? So yeah. A, B, C, D, E, F...etc, etc...hm? Maybe this one would work?

And once that one was in place, the last letters became obvious.

SPOILER!!: Penelope's parchment

ARITHMANCY CAN BE PRACTICAL!


Success! She'd figured it out.

Hopefully, at least. It was very possible she messed up somewhere somehow, so she wouldn't be too excited yet.
