Her eyes widened as the Slytherin student stormed out.
"Is he going to be okay?"
"Who cares?" Anna wanted to reply, but then she thought better of it. "He'll be alright. I think he left his parchment on purpose, though. I have it right here," she said, holding it up so Cela could see it. "The letters do sound quite close to....," Anna started to say, but then stopped herself. She wasn't technically an Order member, so she'd let one of them have the glory of saying it aloud for the first time. That is,
if the word was what she thought it was.

Cale's eyes widened. "Wait, what word?" he asked. He pondered it a bit, and suddenly realized why those letters had rung a bell to him. Grabbing his parchment, he pulled a quill and some ink out of his bag and wrote down the letters they had figured out. "Ok, we have O, W, H, S, A, T, and G," he said as he wrote each respective letter out on the parchment. "Rearranged, we have...'HOGWATS'" he announced, unable to contain the chuckle of laughter. So, if Maddox had gotten his clue, maybe he would have R? "Ok, so we're spelling Hogwarts, obviously," he said with a grin.
He turned to Maddox expectantly, "Why don't you have a clue again?" he asked.
"Hogwats?!?!" Anna exclaimed, giggling just a little. She still wouldn't say the real word aloud. She'd wait til one of them came up with it. She tapped her fingers on her legs, waiting patiently for Maddox to reveal that he had....an R. Or, well, that he
should have an R. Where on Earth was his clue?
Ah, finally. Of course her perfect boyfriend had been the one to figure it out first. She smiled at him, nodding as he mentioned the word Hogwarts. "Has anyone figured out what to DO with the letters and word once we have it? Do you just send it back by owl, or what?"
