Sophie listened to Grayson's explanation, and when he was done, she raised her eyebrows and smiled at him. "Hmm," she said, and she glanced down at her parchment and copied down a few motes. "I'll have to keep that in mind then."
Sophie had had no idea what Ethan and Simon had said, but she tuned in to the class discussion just in time to add to what Grayson had just said. "...and I agree with Grayson," she said, raising her hand and then eyeing the boy next to her. It was her little secret that she was agreeing with him about the whole unlikely pairing working very well thing and not whatever Ethan and Simon had said. Quote:

She'd just sit right here by Grayson, but she really didn't need someone's help. This was just quick addition, yes? She thought so, at least. She glanced around, suddenly getting the feeling she was missing something. Even still, she quickly added up the first three numbers. Three at a time sounded manageable.
621
6 + 2 + 1 = 9
83
8 + 3 = 11
1 + 1 = 2
12345
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
1 + 5 = 6
Pause.
"Are we supposed to reduce that eleven?" she asked Grayson. She was going to keep it in mind? Good. The boy liked to think he was being wise with his words, for reasons that were entirely his own. Still. It was nice. And it could end up coming in handy for this girl sooooo you're welcome in advance, Newell.
Another good thing was that she was staying. Why? Because now he had an excuse to work with her on this piece of work. Pity that they would actually have to do the work and not just hang out. Less time to talk and whatnot. And speaking of work, they were going to get started with the Reduction Method. Grayson had only picked up his quill and dipped it into his ink pot when..........
............ Soph. Who had gone off ahead already. Sweet Merlin, that was fast.
At her question, however, Grayson leaned a liiiiiittle bit closer to take a better look at her parchment. Eleven? "I say keep it as eleven. Professor mentioned something about Master Numbers and not reducing them." He shrugged and looked over at his textbook. "Uh huh. Keep it. And if I'm wrong, you have one over me." Win win situation for her, it seemed like.
Since his fellow Slytherin had done the first three, Grayson slid her work over towards him, flashing her a chaaaaaaarming smile as he did so. And then he started scribbling down the calculations for the last three numbers, all of which were long. Like that second to last one! Jeez, give a guy a break.
"What do you think?" Were they right? Were they not? Was she planning on hexing him for scribbling in her work? HMMMM?
