Still embarrassed from another lessons start. She decided to try to move past it though and just deal with what she was good at. Lessons.

Giving the professor a bigger smile Minerva walked over closer to him. "Hello Professor, welcome to Hogwarts. My name is Minerva Wheatborn." She then turned and found her comfort seat of the front. Pulling off her bag from her shoulder she set it on the ground and pulled out her parchment, book, and quill. Noticing some odd looks towards the professor Minerva turned her head to look at him. Had she missed something before she had entered? Or were these looks towards her. Putting her hand to her face, no the beard was fully gone, but they all knew it had happened. Slinking down in her chair she figured it best if she stayed quiet until class began.

"Hi, hello, all right there. Yes, have a seat, Minerava. Minerva Wheatborn. Too right, Wheaborn. Strong ties to the Vikings with a name like that."

Okay.. .number... random number. Derry stood up and shouted out the first number she thought of. "Forty two!" Answer to life, the universe, and everything. Douglas Adams knew his stuff, yeah? So it was totally one of the best numbers ever.

Except for number 333. Because the three threes together looked cute. For some reason Derry wasn't entirely sure of.

"The paint is for AR1THMANCY, which is the class you are currently in, well done yes thank you."

As a prefect, he didn't want to sit near the back, but he was still far away enough to not listen and go unnoticed.

Paints? Oh, they weren't doing THAT, were they? Theo sucked at that stuff.

"Hi, professor." New professor. Why was that sign on the chalk board written with numbers? That wasn't clever, just annoying. OH THEY WERE STARTING... maybe he WAS almost late.

AEHGHG.... COnFUSED.

Theo stood up and shouted, "SIX!"

"AH yes, please have a seat Prefect. Welcome to class, thanks please yes. You of course know that PRE-fect comes the CHIN3S3 word FECT, which means to decorate. So a PRE-FECT is BEFORE decorations, quite literally."

Which, as a matter of fact, she had both already known and didn't need right now. Indeed, quite suspicious. Something was up with this guy. He looked like an innocent old man, but clearly that was just a front.

"Better do, yes. I would, yes. Please be comfortable."

...shout it? Really? Well, okay... Adrienne stood up. "FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY TWO AND THREE QUARTERS."

Chuckle.

Yeah West wasn't shouting no random numbers, just.... he was going to sit right here with Sky and Ari at the back near the exit and hope for the best.

Maybe this was a bad idea?

"Clever...."

Kat stared at the Arithmancy Professor. Who hired this dude? ".................. Nice to know that information, Professor French." Cue the fake nods. Because she didn't want to seem impolite. Really now? Behead house elves? Did he think Kat would behead a house elf? No. No way. Kurumi Hollingberry would be very disappointed with this class. Nothing more was said from then on.

Until the class started that is. First random number that comes into her mind. Kat stood up, even if she didn't want to. Merlin, what prediction would this Santa Clause wannabe make?

"NINETEEN."

"Yes, nice. Facts are important to your education, yes please. Great. N1N3T33N!!! yes exactly right!"

She had never been good at math.. so this was going to be a nightmare she could already tell.

"Yes, hello, please have a seat. Good day."

Completely glossing over the fact that it was going to be a long lesson for those who couldn't get past the professor being WRONG about history (thankfully he wasn't a History of Magic professor), Sky shouted out the first random number she could think of. Of course, there were some letters thrown in there for good measure. "R2-D2!"

Heh.

"Exactly! Brilliant answer!"

As it was, the prospect still put her in a foul mood. She didn't bother to properly say hello to the new Arithmancy professor but instead nodded in his direction before taking a seat. Even though she hated the class, she was grateful that Adrienne had reminded her to go. For some strange reason she seemed to have forgotten that she was even taking Arithmancy. Weird. She sighed as she pulled out her books and waited for class to begin.

"Okay then!"

She tried to hold her laughter in, yet the reply that was given to Asher, "Asher is actually a Biblical name, one of Jacob's sons'. This was comical. "Professor, in the Library there is a book called Hogwarts A History and in it you will find otherwise. There are also several books that mention it - I suggest you check it out"

Sarah liked the puns though, yet then the last thing came.The first thing that came to mind was message which was 1..D..10..T, which Sarah converted to numbers using Pythagagrean Arithmancy ""79669194962" she called out. She wondered if West or other students understood what she was saying

"Doubt in Arithmancy is the path to FA1LUR3! N0 more doubting! Know or listen, one or the other. In your case, more listening. Please don't confuse my class!"

Ariana raised her eyebrows and looked over at Odessa.. Then her Dorm Mate, Sky as she joined them.

she was confused.. adn she knew VERY very well it was Godric Gryffindor that founded hogwarts and how, HOW was this professor qualified to teach them if he knew nothing.

She too said nothing as she just crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows once again..

this was just.. No

"That answer was already given! Please try again!"

"Yes, no. Please try again. You can do it. Hufflepuffs are historically great number shouters."

"If you haven't shouted a number yet, please do so. Unless you are shouting the INVISIBLE NUMBER i like Mr...." French pointed to WEST 0D3SSA, "then you need to give a number! Any number you think of. Random! Yes please thanks!"

But she could deal with it right now, because she HAD to. Because her grades had been abysmal last term and if she didn't step up her game now then it'd be No Quidditch For Derry. Ugh. Worst possible outcome of anything ever, so it was time to concentrate. She walked into the room and took a seat on her own so she wouldn't get distracted by her friends, since Arithmancy wasn't her strongpoint and she was likely to try and avoid it by talking to someone. Sigh. What was all this PAINT for..? She eyed it curiously for a while and tilted her head up to look at the new professor... "Hello Professor.." she said after a second. "What's all the paint for..?" Okay.. .number... random number. Derry stood up and shouted out the first number she thought of. "Forty two!" Answer to life, the universe, and everything.

No. "I assure you, as I am the professor, that it was a Jeremy Phillipe Gryffindor and he was a completely non-violent being.
