be curious, not judgmental

TRIO TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME.

It didn't matter that Tanner didn't like her own classroom set up, which would NORMALLY have made Sophie frown at her, but she had TOBES AND ZANDER ON EITHER SIDE OF HER. Squished between them, even, and LIFE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

When class got started, Sophie was grinning goofily, unable to contain her elation from having such superb company - but when Tanner gave them a mission to reduce a big number, the Ravenclaw realized she hadn't even gotten out her materials for class. She'd just been sitting there, basking in the presence of her best friends.

Whoops.

So she took out her materials, then, and got settled briskly before squinting up at the board. As tempted as she was to just add up the numbers and get an answer in her head, she knew Tanner probably wanted them to show work and write it down for whatever reason, so... the prefect did so.

Text Cut: The nerd's work
441,315,565,100

4+4+1 +3+1+5 +5+6+5 +1+0+0 = 35
3+5 = 8

She left some space between the numbers and the plus signs to make sure she didn't miss a number as she copied it, and she made quick work of adding them up. Thirty-five reduced to eight, and... she'd arrived at an answer maybe too quickly, so possibly incorrectly, but she was too hyped up to care.

Eight. And she knew chapter three - the number eight had to do with authority figures and success and wealth, so she wrote down those characteristics beside the number "8" on her paper. But... what was this all about? Hmm. Maybe that was the amount of money someone had? MUGGLE money, since this was partly Muggle Studies class? Sophie Brown gave it some thought, and she figured that made a fair amount of sense. Maybe it was the biggest amount of documented money a Muggle person had ever had. Could've been, couldn't it?
