A Numbers Game: #10 Arithmancy

It was always about numbers. When the warrant was up. How long until the sentence expired. Numbers and dates all flying around her cubicle like a flock of gnats, too tiny and numerous to do anything with.

Tonks sighed and banged her head against the wall. There was a specific reason she hadn’t taken Arithmancy at school. She hated numbers, and it was unfair for that to come back to haunt her.

The calendar lay spread across her desk, and she counted pencil marks again.

Four days, three hours, 10 minutes since she’d written Remus. It was always about numbers.
