She noticed how Olivia's face had paled when she'd mentioned Azkaban. "Loads of people were sent there when You-Know-Who was still a threat. His Death Eaters were everywhere! Apparently it's calmed down." Jezabel sniffed to signify she didn't believe that one bit. "Azkaban's guarded by these horrible Dementors - we'll learn about them in DADA, probably. They suck the happiness out of a place, and if you get too close, they'll suck out your soul!"
Jezabel looked bemused. "Technology? What's that? And PE and RE? What do those stand for? We were home-school in languages, English and Maths, but that's about it. We'll be doing History of Magic here - I heard a ghost used to teach the class!" Jezabel's eyes shone as she babbled on about the paranormal. "Apparently there's loads of ghosts here! Every house has a resident ghost, and there's supposedly a poltergeist!"
"I think Dementors would be less scary if they killed you." replied Olivia, making her mind up that she was going to be nothing but good. "I hope there's none of those Death Eaters still around, they sound horrible." She pulled a face. There was a horrible image in her head of things that ate death and she didn't like it. Part of her wanted to ask who You-Know-Who was but she was a bit afraid of the answer and she was sure it would be in a book, so she could always look it up at a later date.

"Information Technology was like computers and stuff and design and technology was kind of how things were made. Once we had to make our own toy cars out of wood and glue and other materials and another time we had to make a pop up book for the younger students. P.E is physical education. I hated it, we played rounders and kwik cricket in the summer when we could go on the playing field, and hockey and netball in the winter." Olivia was glad that she'd never have to do any of that again. She was awful at it. No co-ordination at all. "R.E is religious education."

"A ghost used to teach a class? How did that happen?!"
