. deciphering. Code? Perhaps. Tell me. What do you know about codes and runes, Mr Yoon?
Curious he was to see what the third year had to offer.
Here for a snack or here for.. other reasons?
For a brief moment, the third-year looked irritated as he buried his hands deep in his Hufflepuff robes. He'd come to the kitchen for a mug of hot chocolate, not to answer questions as if he were in a class.
He shrugged.
"The purpose of code is secrecy" He said.
"It's a collection of words, figures, symbols or letters that are used to represent others" He looked over at the cracks in the wall before turning his gaze to him.
"But why do you ask, Professor?" he asked, cocking his head slightly to the right.
"Are you stuck on something? No need to feel bad about it. It took mathematicians 800 years to decipher Ceasar's Cipher" he grinned.
What other reasons would he be here if it weren't for getting a snack or a drink? He wasn't
plotting.
Not today at least "I came here to... His gaze moved to a house-elf nearby as he spoke
...get a mug of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows before going to the library to learn more about Animagi and wandless magic" he explained.
