Sutton was shocked when Professor Hadley had given her points. Literally shocked. She had been sure that she was about to lose points for disrupting class, but Professor Hadley must have thought tat Laura and her book getting a little wet were better than the whole desk catching on fire.

Smiling in an embarrassed way, Sutton raised her hand to actually answer this question now that she knew a little more about what Arithmancy WAS. "Professor Hadley, this is my first year of Arithmancy, obviously, but from what people were saying... Could these numbers maybe, like, help you understand your personality? And so in everyday life, that could help you a lot! Like... it might help you understand how you naturally relate to people, and so that could help improve your communication between you and that other person?" she sort asked/answered.
