Close eyes. And open.

And they were still going.

"Silence," Josephina said, through gritted teeth at the two first years. See; this was why Arithmancy was originally taught to only those older than third. Deep breath and then . . . "Five points from each of you for nonsensical bickering and detention for you both. Together." And maybe, perhaps, she could teach them a thing or two about getting along civilly.

Now. Onto more important things, like TEACHING the lesson.

"Now Miss Stone, you asked a question about 11, 22, and 33. If you have one of these numbers in one part of your name, then this doesn't count as a master number. It only counts when you add up all the reduced components - whether it be first, middle, and last name or each number from your birthdate - and it totals 11, 22, 33. It is then, that the final total before reducing is one of these numbers that you have a master number." Josephina explained, hoping it made sense. "Does that help any? Good question though."

Turning to face the whole class, she leaned against the edge of her desk, "Now before I wrap things up, I must conclude by reminding you that calculations are tedious, but I also hope you saw today that it doesn't have to be difficult. The more work you show, the better off you'll be. Make sure if you have any questions at all, then don't hesitate to find me and ask. Once you copy down your homework, you are dismissed." With a flick of her wand, the homework appeared on the board behind her:

"Miss Stone and Miss Malfoy-Lupin? Please stay behind so I can speak with you both about your detention time." Fina said rather coolly to the first years.

"Thank you professor. That did help." Ellie said, kindly. But she gave that other girl a menacing glance. She just did not get along with her.

Wait.

"Detention!? Professor, is that really necessary? Five points is more than enough as it is! It was just a silly disagreement! It won't happen again, I swear!" She didn't want ALL of Ravenclaw to end up in detention nowww!
