Professor Hadley went over in review, just to catch some of the students up to speed. "The next part of the spell, which is the range says how the spell is activated. Which is to say, what sets off the spell. This number grouping is 527, so what about these numbers sets off the spell?"
Simon looked at the Professor, to say he was a Prince he wasn't very good at this sort of thing and his summer teacher, he hated that he had to have lessons in the summer had told him that he wouldn't be able to do Arithmancy perfectly at all and his father had been mad about it because he loved the subject but Simon hated it. "Well it came into my head, I remember reading somewhere about people being able to use numbers like 2 and 8 to see into the future and so I thought that was what you ment." Simon once again said the first thing that came into his head.
Simon smiled again. "527 could mean something to do with spells, you have to get a book and go to the 5 page, 2 spell along and the 7th line of that spell and that is what the meaning is." Simon was getting very confused. "So it could mean that someone nasty will use a spell to take over the world."
