Arithmancy Class With Professor Vector[8]

[Aaron Tayllore]

*walks in and sits in the very back of the classroom*

[Holly Palmers]

*walks in and directly takes a seat near the front, not even noticing Aaron. Stares at the board for a long time, unconsciously smoothly down the hair on the back of her head ever so often*

[Professor Septima Vector]

*looks up sharply as the two enter, not surprised to see the Slytherin and Ravenclaw completely ignoring each others existence*

*stands up and walks to the front of her desk*

Unfortunately, the extreme delay in class time due to less than timely events, *pauses to scowl* has punctured most of this classes - no matter how small it may be - time to prepare properly for your upcoming NEWT's. This will mean a lot more work for all of you. As always, I expect you all to put forth your best efforts. *glances at the clock* As most of the class is obviously not going to be here in a decent time frame, why dont you both get start on the work I have written on the board. Just ask if you have any questions.

*strides across the room, pulling a few books from the shelves and passing them to Holly and Aaron*

These are older books, yes, but if you find it difficult to find the information in your books it may be of some us, though I doubt you will have any difficulty with this lesson as it is very basic.

*gives them a hard look before sitting back down at her desk*

[Holly Palmers]

*takes her book and flips the pages, thinking the hardest part ifsgoing to be thinking up the name of someone she gets along with*

*isn't at all encouraged by the word "basic"*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*strolls in and takes in the surroundings, having never gone to this class before*

Hello, Professor.

*sits next to Holly*

[Holly Palmers]

*decides to use Sebastian's name and continues to look up how to do so*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*whispers across his desk to Holly*

What are we doing? Is this a math class or something? That Professor gave me a detention once, I doubt she likes me.

*shrinks in his seat, trying to hide from Professor Vector*

[Holly Palmers]

*talks out of the side of her mouth*

If you can add you can do this class. It's divination by numbers-though you can't cowpoo it like in Firenze's class.

*looks up at the board to see exactly which numbers she was to calculate*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*stares at the board* I don't get it. I've missed all the fundamentals.

*peeks at Holly's paper*

[Holly Palmers]

Then just copy!

*she snaps and him, having just realized the identity of the other student sitting in the back*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*shrugs and gladly obeys*

She'll know we're cheating if we write down the same future. We're not the same person.

*sees something is bothering Holly and spots Aaron*

Ahhh...the twirp. Shall I talk to him now?

[Holly Palmers]

*would hit him over the head with her parchment if it wasn't such an ostentatious show of annoyance*

No, not in class. Find him in a pub or something, when I'm far away from the scene.

*points at his paper*

Copy what I have then just change some numbers around.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*scribbles out half of the numbers and replaces them*

Rubbish. I always manage to pass the final and the class though. I'll be fine.

*sets his chin on his fist and gazes at the ceiling, daydreaming again*

[Holly Palmers]

*doesn't look up from working out her own numbers*

What is your middle name? I think I need the whole name.

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*snaps out of his daydream* Chrestomanci. Can you spell that? I'll help.

*peeks at her paper again* What's your conclusion...the answer, whatever you're trying to find...
