Elliot slapped her hand to her forehead, completely embarrassed! "I meant any more siblings, so sorry. I probably sounded like a complete fool just now.." she stated, scowling at herself. Stupid, foolish little Elliot. Elliot rarely made blunders like that..she was perfect. Perfection is key, Elliot. Darius had told her that many years ago, and since then Elliot had been striving to be the perfect person that her father wanted her to be...so far, she was failing. Miserably.

Speaking of family, Cora mentioned her sisters. Ew.
"Yes, two. Danni, eight, is annoying. Sam, cute, is cool I guess. And well, Danni will probably go to Beauxbatons...because she's too 'good' for Hogwarts," she replied, sarcasm oozing from her very words. Danni was little miss princess, her mother's joy...she would go there. "And I don't know if I will even be here when little Sam comes. She's four now..so..." Elliot was never good with numbers. Anything but numbers, she was fine...but numbers? Math? Nope.

Eleven minus four...that's seven? Yes, so in seven years..I will be in my last year or graduated...
"Oh, I will either be here in seventh year or graduated...I can't think straight with numbers!" Cue throwing up hands in air dramatically.
"Oh no, don't worry about it at all! I was just a bit confused, that's all. You don't sound like a fool." Cora gave a reassuring smile. While Elliot was hiding it well, Cora could tell she didn't like to make mistakes like these and was a bit embarrassed maybe.

Then she thought about what Elliot had said. Cora loved numbers. "Well, it would depend on when Sam turned four. Actually, either way, she wouldn't be here when you graduated. Unless for some reason you were here an eighth year, or she started before she was eleven. But I'm assuming that wouldn't happen." Cora wasn't sure if Elliot would be relieved about this or disappointed.

"I love numbers. To me, they make a lot more sense than a lot of other things." There were lots of things that Cora didn't understand, but numbers weren't one of them.
