Since he had no idea what the professor was talking about, he thought it was then the time to enjoy himself a little until someone exactly explained what this Gnosis and something meant....

So he searched in his pockets for a little piece of crumpled parchment and threw it at Simon being extra careful not to be spotted by the professor. Then once the parchment found its target he raised his hand to speak. ''Excuse me professor but it sounded like a cereal brand to me''. And why must he say that out loud? He had no idea.

Moving onward, Josephina removed her wand again from her desk drawer and flicked it so that writing began appearing on the board. "The ideas from Plato and Pythagoreas could be carried over in something called Neoplatonism. However, Gnosis gave rise to a certain mystery about numbers which could be summarized as written on the board."

"Moving forward as this is just to give you a basic background of where numbers originated.... Today we will be delving into the mysteries of two of my favorite numbers. The number two and the number seven." She paused, letting this sink in, as well as letting them copy the text on the board, if they desired. "Please discuss among yourselves what you know about these two numbers and then we'll have a class discussion about them."

Despite the smallness of the paper ball, Simon still felt it hit the back of his head. He was about the turn around and see who threw it but as he heard Josh speak from behind him he knew right away the answer to the mystery and stayed quiet not to draw attention from the professor.

Simon nodded in understanding as the professor commented on his answer taking notes on what she said to the class as well as what appeared on the board. When she allowed them discussion, he finally turned around to see his fellow Gryffindor. He knew what the number 7 could mean he'd have to listen to others about the other number.

"Yes?" he questioned in half jest as if pretending that Josh was trying to get his attention.
