Summary: Aurora comes back from muggle school with a pile of homework and asks Draco for help. (It will get weirder)

~~~~~~~~~~

    Aurora burst through the door of Malfoy Manor. She flopped onto the couch, exhausted and her dad looked up.

"How was muggle school?" Draco asked. Aurora put her head in her hands.

"It was okay, I accidentally set one of the beakers on fire in Science class." Aurora answered. Draco raised an eyebrow.

"Like a muggle accident or---"

"Magical accident." Aurora looked up and looked around the room. "Is mom home?"

"No, emergency meeting at the Ministry."

Aurora opened her school bag and pulled out a binder filled with homework. Draco widened his eyes, they weren't given this much homework at Hogwarts.

"I'll have to answer all of this, it won't take long. I'll need your help when I get to Maths." Aurora said. Draco knew basic math, so it wasn't really a problem.

~30 minutes later~

"Okay, now Maths." Aurora said. Draco put down his book and watched as Aurora pulled out a sheet of paper and laid it down on the table between them.

MATHS HOMEWORK

Find the value of X.

1. 4x + 6 = 22

2. 10 - 7x = 3

3. 5x = 20

4. 10x = 30

5. 4x - 5 = 11

Aurora stared at the paper filled with algebraic expressions and looked at her dad.

"So, will you help me?" Aurora asked. Draco looked at the paper and picked it up, staring at the equations dumbfounded.

"Since when letters were included in Maths?" Draco asked. "What kind of lesson is this?!"

"It's called algebra."

"For Merlin' sake, why did we send you to muggle school." Draco reached into his pocket and called Hermione. She answered the phone.

"What Draco? I'm coming home." Hermione answered.

"Do you have any idea what algebra means?" Draco asked. Hermione laughed internally.

"It's when you find the value of X."

"Since when letters were included in Maths?!"

"Um... since forever." Aurora butted in.

"Aurora, just wait until I get home." Hermione said. She hung up the phone.

~~~~~

"Mom!" Aurora exclaimed as Hermione apparated to the Manor. "I need help and dad doesn't even know why letters are in maths."

"It's okay Aurora, I'll help you," Hermione looked at Draco who was browsing through his phone. "and I think your father needs help too."
