Still casually leaning against the desk, he nodded as the students spoke. "Mmm... I see. Yes, very good everyone, especially you Ms. Hillcroft. Professor bree has certainly prepared you well in numerology and Greek arithmancy. Do any of the other students have any contributions to make? The younger students? Don't be shy, it's perfectly acceptable to make a mistake. That is what we do to learn you see, make mistakes. So, how about..." He leaned over and looked at his own personal chalkboard, "Ms. Stevenson, what do you think? Can you imagine any magical properties of say... The number 3?"
Professor Fox sighed, having failed to engender a response from the student. He certainly had hoped the students would be more willing to make mistakes in favor of participating. "I see. Well, how about anyone else? Anyone at all that hasn't answered? Magical properties of 2, 3, 5, and 7? Fear not, if you don't get it right, you need not be embarrassed, everyone makes mistakes. I will give everyone one last chance to answer, then I will begin lecturing I suppose."
