"If you had to guess, what exactly is the purpose of this? Wizards and witches preserving traditions? Physical activities? Or...," Aspen cast a glance to the Professors. Perhaps another motive was afoot?
"Well," Eino began after giving her question some thought,
"last year Lord Borr assigned us several physical exercises as part of our curriculum, so I am inclined to believe he is repeating that this term." Last year they had to jog several miles, touch their toes, practice karate, and all sorts of strange things. Eino preferred dancing classes. Even though they would make them look silly, at least they would all look silly together. Last term, most people didn't want to admit to completing several of the assignments because some of them were embarrassing, to say the least. Eino then drew closer to Aspen and whispered.
"I have heard that Lord Borr also has a particular interest in humiliating people, and a knack for it, too." He drew back and discreetly nodded towards the Groundskeeper. If he had to guess, the purpose was to humiliate the the poor man, but he was handling himself and class very well and most people seemed to be enjoying it, so the joke would be on the Minister.
