Sure, the ink got on the desk while she was doing the edges, but no one would ever really notice, right? And she was already on the third line. Maybe...just maybe she'd get the entire parchment covered by the end of class. Or at least half of it. Maybe.
Were they supposed to be working on something? Sierra really had no idea. She'd pretty much felt like spitting venom ever since the professor decided to dock three points from her.
This Ellie Stone, though, she had the right idea. Why do calculations when you can find another perfectly acceptable use of your time? It was also far less embarrassing than writing the name Treyen inside a heart and having the professor end up catching you...

"Ellie Stone!" Hadley exclaimed, putting one hand on her hip, as she walked over and stared down at the fourth year eagle. "What in the name of Merlin do you think you're doing?!" Yes. You best have a good explanation, young miss. You're delaying the class.
Sierra perked up.
Ohhh, get 'er, Hadley! Get 'er!
Take off three blasted points like you did to me!!! Quote:

Heh...
"Making the parchment black...?" That was her goal at least. But...maybe it wasn't such a good idea? She looked back down at her parchment, and slowly dropped her quill into the inkwell, letting it rest. It could stay there for now.
Bwah haha!
Cancel that.
Take off five points! Gooo, Ellie, go! Arithmancy had suddenly just gotten loads more exciting. Now all they needed was for someone to shoot a parchment airplane across the room, and it'd all be perfect.
