There were numbers in here...
???????????
Were they mixing Arithmancy with Charms? HE HAD NOT STUDIED FOR THAT. Cornelius wasn't panicking. No. He was cool. So why was he kicking at the door?
Oh right. HE WAS PANICKING.
He was not ready for Arithmancy. Give him anything. Goo, snails, BEETLES. He could handle all of that but NOT numbers. He was stuck. He was dead. The professor was going to send his mother a letter detailing how severely he had failed. The fact that he had not landed Ravenclaw was a blessing because Mum wouldn't be expecting 1000% from him but she was still expecting 999%.
Shoulders deflating, Cornelius' bottom lip stuck out. He had FAILED. What an awful word. It's never been on his list of words until now.
"What do I do?" he asked himself in a low, sad voice. "Eight, two. Zero, three. What does it..." Just then a click sounded in front of him. A passage. He peeked, his eyes going from sad to curious in a seconds moment.
Hey.
He...did...it????????
HE FREAKING DID IT!
Shoving everything into his satchel and smiling so big one would think his face would hurt, Cornelius scurried toward the passage, forgetting what failure felt like.
He hadn't failed.
