Kurumi flew to her parchment as she began trying to crack the code.

Kurumi raised her hand. "Professor, I believe that the 3663 47 5683 line should be 'FOOD IS LOVE'?" She was pretty sure that 47 had to be IS as no other two letter words could be made with those combinations...were they going to eat something? Like...maybe have an end of the year party?

Josephina was a bit surprised when the students seemed so quick at solving even the more challenging of codes. "Yes, very much correct! Food is love," she beamed at the young Gryffindor with pride, as she tossed a chocoball in her direction.

But now that they were, she was beginning to feel a bit more comfortable. They were going to go onto cryptic messages again? With the numbers on phones? Glancing towards the chart on the board, a small smile appeared on her lips as the numbers and letters flew through her mind.

Writing down the phrases into her notebook, including the number system type thing, the Slytherin started with the calculations until she was finished. It didn't take long. She rather liked cryptic messages.

Raising her hand after...cookie girl...Evelyn raised a brow before going on with her answer. "The last phrase, is it...'Can I go yet?'"

Oh figures that one of her best students would solve THAT particular code; though she doubted that Evelyn really wanted to go, but was simply answering the question. "No you may not go, but yes, that is the correct phrase for the last one," she winked at the girl, tossing her a piece of licorice. Mostly because she got the impression the girl wasn't fond of chocolate.

"Professor, The second one is it Zookara?" she said not so sure.

The brunette looked over at her colleague, a small smile on her face and then turned back to the girl, with a nod. Of course she would use the Professor's names. They were simple enough to solve AND the students should all know those names. "Quite right, my dear." She said simply, tossing a chocoball in her direction.

8447 47 386!

It took him a while to figure it out but he got it eventually " Professor that fourth one reads This is fun!" Or This is dum... hmmm double meanings to a code?

Noting the scrupulous scribblings of another Slytherin, Josephina wasn't about to deny it that Slytherins were on TOP of THEIR GAME. Like seriously. "Yes, I quite agree and am glad to see someone else sharing my affinity for codes." She beamed at the fourth year, tossing him a jelly slug.

She raised her hand. "I think the first line is 'Hadley,' Professor."

Of course the first code would be the last to be solved, but no less wrong, as it was naturally her OWN name. "Of course, quite right," she said, tossing the last girl a chocoball as well.

Time to move on though, as it seemed they were all warming up nicely to these numbers and their new letter assignments. Smart kids. "Excellent. But sadly we're not going to spend much time on codes. I just wanted to show you all another example of how codes could be used and how different they could be," Fina continued, pacing slightly. "Now thinking about how you calculate your four core numbers, there is one core number that will not change no matter if you used the telephone number system or the Pythagorean. Can someone tell me what that number is?"
