The Puff grinned when Minerva spoke. "I'm sure you won't mess it up.'' She was a great student after all, Hufflepuff's top points earner. He examined the parchment. "So far so good." He was pleased she was getting this worked out.
Minerva smiled as Jory said she wouldn't mess up, it was nice that someone had confidence in her for this subject, because she wasn't sure she had it for herself. Numbers were confusing, but adding letters that was an entire different world. She was glad she never had to do muggle high school math, because she didn't think she would ever get through it. She looked at the problem again, now that she had most of it worked out, she had to figure out the order.. right... that shouldn't be to hard...

Minerva started to write down the letters that she had seen on the paper not remembering that she needed to switch a letter and her eyes jumped once or twice so she didn't realize she missed a few either. She started to look at her paper really fun. What was wrong with this. She couldn't tell Jory she screwed up, what would he think of her. This wasn't good.
She looked at her parchment, back to her book and then to her parchment again. She couldn't figure out what she did wrong. She had no clue she skipped over letters. She finally looked up and frowned at Jory..
"I.. I think I did something wrong. I'm so sorry, maybe I was not the right person to have do this for you." She looked at her paper, she had to figure this out for him. She couldn't let her fellow puff down.
