Anything to add?

Nina shook her head. She had plenty she could have added to the discussion, but she would rather not contribute to the lesson in anyway. It would be far too risky. And she didn’t take risks. Instead, the Slytherin feigned disinterest as others continued to give their answers to the question. She did, however, see the LOOK that Eiji had given her. And she knew exactly what he meant by it too.

He was so agitating. And it wasn’t going to work.

Only it did work.

Because if there was anything worse than outing herself in the middle of a lesson, it was that smug look that Eiji Rasting wore on his face. And so without a proper analysis of his potential motives, Nina’s hand shot up to answer the next question posed to the class. There was a first time for everything.

“Different bodies of water have differing characteristics by their very nature,” having to do with their size, mineral content, location, etc. “Surely as a result, arithmancers could associate different numbers with each.” It was obvious, really. Nina was almost surprised that no one else had thought to raise the point yet. “Take a lake for instance, they are completely surrounded by land giving them rigidity and structure, qualities one can associate with the numerical value of 4. A river, in comparison, is free-flowing and changes in size, shape, and volume dependent on many factors. Association with the number seven would make much more sense.” She kept her back straight and her eyes on Professor Sissay as she gave her answer with confidence. “Perhaps an ocean could be associated with the numerical value of 1, as it is boundless, full of life, and entirely it’s own entity, unlike the others.” Really she could go on and on with these examples. There were so many different examples to draw from. Seas, gulfs, ponds. She had hardly even touched the surface.

HA.

She looked back over at Eiji to give him a look to convey that she had one-upped him and dropped the figurative mic, before turning back to realize what she had just done. Immediately her hand flew up to grab a lock of hair, which she began twirling around her fingers. “Like, um, maybe?”
