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!]

Rude.

But it's true.

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.

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

Logic works exactly that way, it's Maths.

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

Not to me it doesn't.

House loyalty?

And pride.

That's admirable.

How so?

House pride.

For the sake of not misunderstanding, do you admire House pride, or that I have it for mine?

House pride, of course.

Seventy-five percent.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I just agreed with Miss Wallace's statement that we get the rest of the students not sorted into the other three Houses.

Well everyone knows that.

So...then...why are we arguing?

We're not. I was helping, not arguing. You're going to need to know percentages for your potion studies.
