Always missing hanging out and only being able to SEE each other in class, no talking or hand holding which he wasnt pleased about. He listened as she talked about the homework and classes and things "Yeah thats true, so much going on.. that your focus is all over the place" he understood that, he looked around the courtyard and nodded "Yeah it will" and then it would be harder to see Ella since she wouldnt be allowed to stay out for hours and hours on end, but he would enjoy it when they would go to each others house. He knew that his family would enjoy having her visit again, since they loved having her over last time. "Yeah time does fly" when you are having fun with your girl or in this case his girl, it seemed like only last month they had met and they were dating already.. he thought to himself

He looked at her and shook his head "Well not from what I can see, I mean I am just looking at jumbled numbers and letters on this parchment" he said looking back down at the parchment. He felt her look over his shoulders to see her cryptogram as she said that the ending was pretty good "Ah ok.. yeah lets see what I think of it" if I can ever solve this thing he thought to himself. He heard her chuckle when he asked for clues, he had no idea he had said anything funny but ok.. he the saw why she had chuckled, he looked ather "Umm no! have you seen this thing, its all mumbo jumbo that no-one can get without clues." he looked back it "Man just thinking of trying to solve this without clues is giving me a headache let along trying to actually solve it without clues" he said scanning over it again, yup nope.. this required some clues which is why had asked for them.

He looked at her as she decided on what clues she could give him so that he could start solving this jumble of something that was on the piece of parchment. Pythagorean Number System? thats what the calculations were? she was going all out on this just cause he was a claw.. wasnt she? He opened her book to page 75 faster than you could say Minerva Hermione Wheatborn, he looked it over.. well hopefully the letters would present themselves to him without him having to guess them. "OK I see the table.. you are definitely not making this an easy one thats for sure, but this could be solvable afterall" he said still studying the table before he looked at her as she gave him the next clues, he looked at the parchment and sure enough he saw the X's that were there. He nodded "Alright! Lets get this started... lets hope we find out the ending of this" he said putting the book open to his side and taking out his parchment and ink/quill.

"Ok so this is what you have given me " he said to her as he shook her parchment

SPOILER!!: Cryptogram

A-X-D-(7-2)-(10/5)

(3+3), P, D, (44/11), P

(10-7), (9-8)

D, X, (13-5), (25/5), (7+0)


" lets add the clues you were talking about" he said getting out his quill and getting to work

SPOILER!!: Cryptogram

A-X-D-(7-2)-(10/5)

(3+3), P, D, (44/11), P

(10-7), (9-8)

D, X, (13-5), (25/5), (7+0)


Adding clues


A-X= L-D-(7-2= 5), (10/S= ?)

(3+3 = 6), P, D, (44/1 = 4), P

(10-7= 3), (9-8 = 1)

D, X= L, (13-5 = 8), (25/5 = 5), (7+0 = 7)


Becoming

A-L-D-5-??

6-P-D-4-P

3-1

D-L-8-5-7


He then looked at Minnie "That looks right.. yeah?" he said showing her what he had come up with "Though I dont think you can do 10 divided by an S Mins.. no-one can do that" he chuckled as he showed her his working out.


Minerva watched as he tried to figure it out. Then when he questioned her she gave him an automatic look. She knew that this was her weakest subject, but no one ever questioned her when it came to school work. How could he possibly be questioning her. A thought then crossed her mind, was she.....wrong. Did she do something that wasn't right in her own puzzle. That would be so embarrassing if she did. "Let me take a look..." She took the parchment from him and started looking. No.. no her puzzle looked correct. So what was going on. Where did this S come from... She wasn't sure. Looking back over her work she began to smile.

Looking up at him she chuckled, "Harvey Watson I think you need to start spending more time in the books and less time with Ella." She looked back at the parchment. Then pointed, do you see this S that you questioned.. Look back up at the puzzle. It's a 5 not an S. It should be 10/5=, not 10/s... Where on earth did you see an S. Are you getting enough sleep?" She still laughed about it a bit. "Once you have that 5 in there you should be able to fix the question marks. Now don't forget to move these X's, because they need switched to L's." As Minerva was about to give the parchment back to him she then noticed something else. "Hold up.. I almost missed an error." She looked at it closer, "Yes Harvey right here... I don't think you are going to get a right calculation with a 44/1. I think that 1 should be a different number." She looked at him and wondered if that all made sense. "Does that help at all?" Handing him back the parchment she hoped she wasn't more confusing then helpful.
