I don't usually say this, but is anyone else just through with revising? At this point, if I finish the work or not, I feel like I'm not going to learn anything else.

Anyway, who has plans for Quidditch this weekend? Anyone want to go with me?


[ooc: replies from instars - Miss Wallace is a sixth year half-blood Ravenclaw, not on the Quidditch team, feel free to say your character has classes or sees her around school! She also has a bad tendency to get called out for wearing non-regulation shoes, but she cannot help it, she loves her heels!]

[Laughing.] Maybe, but that's not what I meant. Studying hard isn't just for Ravenclaws, I've come to know.

[instars]

Sometimes we don't study at all.

[brobeforehos]

Scandal!

[instars]

Don't tell the headmaster.

[brobeforehos]

Hey, Saya?

[instars]

Yes?

[brobeforehos]

Not all Hufflepuffs work hard.

[instars]

I thought your house took the rest in.

[brobeforehos]

Rude.

[instars]

But it's true.

[brobeforehos]

Well, yes, by logic it would be. If there are four Houses in Hogwarts, and Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor get seventy percent of the students, Hufflepuff would get the rest.

[instars]

I don't know if logic works quite that way.

[brobeforehos]

Logic works exactly that way, it's Maths.

[instars]

I think that implies that the rest of the school is more important than Hufflepuff.

[brobeforehos]

Not to me it doesn't.

[instars]

House loyalty?

[brobeforehos]

And pride.

[instars]

That's admirable.

[goodboysgood]

Seventy-five percent.

[brobeforehos]

Please. We both know everyone wants to be in Hufflepuff, we get thirty percent.

[goodboysgood]

Everyone who can't divide 100 by 4, certainly.

[brobeforehos]

A hundred percent doesn't have to be one hundred students, it can easily be eighty. The point is, it's not an equal division, and this isn't even the point.

[goodboysgood]

The point is, you were talking percentages and 100 percent divided by four is always the same.

Eighty divided by four is twenty, if you were curious.

[brobeforehos]

You're just being nitpicky now, Ravenclaw. Suppose eighty first years arrive, of which fifteen get sorted into Ravenclaw, twenty into Slytherin, and twenty-one into Gryffindor, leaving the Hufflepuff with a lovely number of twenty-four students. Thirty percent of eighty students.

[goodboysgood]

I'm not being nitpicky, you're introducing additional clauses to your initial proposal to try to avoid looking like you made a mistake.

Not really working, I'm afraid.
