"Can you see it?" he asked as he walked them along the corridor.
His eyes were peeled, and all he could assume was that the parchment would be the same siz----.. there it was. Dropping Janelle's wrist, Zeke pointed to the wall-spot beside the tapestry. "There, Myers," he said as he walked nearer, already applying the Pythagorean number system. "Myers, four, seven, five, nine, one," he dictated, turning to see if she was writing this down.
It was a good thing Janelle was in shape. Running up the stairs and trying to keep up with Zeke was not for the faint of heart. As they walked along the corridor, Janelle scanned the area for the parchment. Zeke spotted it first and immediately began to convert the letters into numbers. Wow, did he keep all that stuff in his head? Janelle was impressed.
Janelle grabbed her parchment and quill and copied down the numbers. Then she quickly added them together.

4+7+5+9+1=26
2+6=8
Janelle turned to Zeke with a puzzled look. She double checked her calculations, to make sure that she hadn't made a mistake. Nope, the answer was eight
"It all adds up to eight, but last time I checked, there wasn't an eighth floor at Hogwarts. Maybe it's in one of the towers. Why don't we go up to the seventh floor and see if we can find something to point us in the right direction?" This time it was Janelle's turn to grab Zeke's arm, as she hurried toward the stairs.
