Divination… Trelawney. Another case of trust Albus even if one's instincts and intellect took umbrage… It depended on what one assumed Hogwarts really was and was really for. A school, certainly. But not exclusively.
No more of that, right now. Lupin cast his mind back to his own school days. —which wasn't difficult; for the most part, in his mind, they shone so much brighter than almost anything else.
(Almost. Present company excluded.)
"Let's see… My childhood was in the muggle world, so a lot of Muggle Studies to see how this world perceives that one. Otherwise… It felt urgent to understand as much as I could. Ancient Studies, Magical Theory, Apparition, Arithmancy, Care of Creatures… By today's curriculum, I'd've fulfilled a credit in Ghoul Studies, though that wasn't separate from Defense or Creatures back then. And one terrible term of Flying; not to be able to play Quidditch, just to stay on a broom at all. I disgraced myself pretty badly." He gave Harry a grin. "Tougher if you're not born with the gift."
Hurraugh! Thank you!
