Didn't this boy know that there was no crying in baseball Arithmancy!? Seriously.
"It's not worth tears over, Mr Simpson," she shook her head, speaking softly now, as she conjured a handkerchief for him. She was sooo not good with tears, unless they were her own and it was because she failed everything, but that was another story . . .
She was about to sit and explain it to him, as she did with Amy, when . . . Quote:

Maybe it'd make things better if she helped him? Smiling at him and then looking up at the Professor, she said, "Professor, I understand it. I can help him if you'd like." "That would be lovely. Thank you Cadence," Fina nodded at the girl, encouraging him to sit with her housemate and explain it more slowly. Quote:

Turning back to Amy to see if her slower paced explanation helped, she was about to respond to her question about M being 4 when some Slytherin decided to interrupt and offer an explanation. At least Cadence asked before helping / offering advice. Slytherins . . . always think they know everything and can do whatever they please.
"Yes, as Alexandrie said, the reason why M is 4 is because we use the Pythagorean Number system which gives each letter of the alphabet a numerical value from one to nine." She reiterated, her hand on her hip. No point in showing her the text, since Ms Alexandrie Malfoy-Lupin took it upon herself to show her that too. Sigh. Quote:

Hoping he did it right, he looked up at the girl and said, "Both your numbers are nine..." Well, now that they had this information, what were they supposed to do?
He flipped through his textbook to try and find the meaning of the number nine. He found;
What? He kept looking. Surely, he could find something with more detail? Aha! Perfect.
He turned the textbook towards the girl and pointed at the right parts of the pages. "Do those sound right?"
Well, as long as he knew where to look he might as well see what the textbook said about his OWN numbers. She said they were...4 and 3. Right.
Uhm. Okay. Well, the first one sounded completely wrong. The second one was closer to being right. But then again, what would he know about the future? Shaking his head at the textbook, Jimbo again decided that he really didn't like Arithmancy. The numbers made no sense sometimes. And just when he was starting to feel a little proud of himself that he'd figured it all out...
But then, when he looked at the textbook again, he saw something that confused him a little. He raised his hand and made sure he spoke loud enough for the professor to hear. "Professor, what does the textbook mean when it mentions numbers eleven, twenty-two and twenty-three? I thought we were supposed to reduce." "Ah, good question there, Mr Farley," Josephina smiled, surprised that no one else had asked about that. "I'm presuming you meant to say thirty-three, but yes the numbers 11, 22, and 33, are reduced single digits yet they are also special. Because if one of these numbers appear before you reduce your number to a single digit, then it means something special. These are master numbers, which have special energies in themselves as you can read about in chapter five of your textbook." Quote:

cassie frowned in frustration and put her quill down. Embarassed by her failure, she raised her hand, hoping the professor could help her. "Yes?" She asked, approaching the Slytherin girl who had her hand raised. Overlooking her work, she had to frown for a moment. "Before you ask your question, I have to comment that you check your work on your Expression Number, as if you reduce each name before adding them together, I believe you should reach a more accurate number."
