Well it was beyond her that someone was confused. Then again, not everyone read their books before the school year or lessons. Tapping her pencil with one hand, and continuing to twirl the licorice with her other hand, her eyes scanned her notes that she had written so far. Something about a phone being annoying, her equations for deciphering the phrases using the telephone numbers, a drawing of an owl…

And another question was being asked. How was the expression number found? Meep! Raising her hand that held her pencil, because obviously she wasn’t going to advertise her awesome candy licorice, the Slytherin smiled just a tad once more before answering. "You use your full name. The one on your birth certificate." That everyone should know. Obviously. "And using the Pythagorean number system, you assign the letters of your name with the correct number before adding up the numbers of each name separately…first…before reducing and adding up the total of each name altogether." Slightly long explanation, but whatever. It’s what had to be done. Oh… "And then reduce the last number."

Can't forget that part! Otherwise...epic fail.
