"Oh, right. Those things," said Edric, as if they weren't two students who had to deal with classes on a daily basis. "Never saw much point to them." Honestly, he'd rather learn alone. He didn't understand why they had to be stuffed into a room like a bunch of sardines. He learned better in the company of no one, anyway.
And then it turned out that Amelia was a seventh year as well, also eager to be free again and never ride another train. Edric had almost forgotten all about that incident by now, though it had only happened about a week ago. "You're traumatized and that was your last train ride here. Imagine the anxiety first years will have to experience for the next six years," said the boy, almost looking amused. Which he kinda was. Edric was just evil like that; the idea of frightened and forever-traumatized firsties brought a crooked smile to his face.
"Not much point to classes? It's so that people can contribute, and so lesser beings can learn from people who have superior intellect. Obviously," she told him in a superior tone, her eyes dancing. Edric
may have a point about some classes being useless. But then some classes were rather fun. Like Herbology and Flying. Although, for flying she just played Quidditch (hopefully she'd make the team this year and not just get to play as a reserve in their final match), which didn't involve any real rules. Well, none that meant the game wasn't dangerous and therefore exciting.
"Traumatized is a strong word. I never much liked the train before this year, obviously the debacle on the platform this year hasn't much improved my opinion on them. Plus, those poor ickle firsties will find plenty of things to traumatize them at Hogwarts over the next years. They'll soon forget about the train," she said flippantly, a smirk twisting her lips as she thought about just how traumatic an experience Hogwarts could be. Not that she
wanted people to be traumatized. It was just amusing is all.
