SPOILER!!: Janelle Quote:

Wow, did he keep all that stuff in his head? Janelle was impressed.
Janelle grabbed her parchment and quill and copied down the numbers. Then she quickly added them together.
Janelle turned to Zeke with a puzzled look. She double checked her calculations, to make sure that she hadn't made a mistake. Nope, the answer was eight "It all adds up to eight, but last time I checked, there wasn't an eighth floor at Hogwarts. Maybe it's in one of the towers. Why don't we go up to the seventh floor and see if we can find something to point us in the right direction?" This time it was Janelle's turn to grab Zeke's arm, as she hurried toward the stairs.
He had to admit, he was impressed with Janelle for not slapping him one, or yelling or cursing for him to stop. Kudos to her for keeping up with him, like the renegade that he was. Hehe. Of course, he was also very impressive, yes. When it came to the Pythagorean system, he'd used it so many times that he had it memorised very quickly. It wasn't all that difficult if you were a visual learner and he had applied it more times than he could count.
Zeke shuffled to stand at Janelle's elbow, peeking over her shoulder slightly to see her working out. She had it, but he couldn't quite make sense of it either.
Did he do something wrong?
No.
Nope. Not possible.
"Must be," he agreed, with no other explanation for it. "I mean, it could be the Astronomy tower? Or... divination? I can't see them putting it outside one of our common rooms though..." but he could be wrong. Merlin knew.
Complying with her tug, Zeke grinned and fell into step with her. The race was on, even if the others didn't know it. Somehow though, he wasn't vying to be first, he simply enjoyed the thrill it afforded.
