Jake looked up, a little calmer than before, and saw Gabben, the guy who Jake had obviously shared an opinion with in History of Magic.
"Not really, and yes it was," Jake stated, matter-of-factly.
"Gabben, right?" History of Magic... grrrrr. Quote:

"Hey there," Vannah waved slightly, making sure it was obvious who she was greeting. "Everything alright?"
"Hello," Jake responded before shaking his head.
"Not everything, no..." And before he knew it, the words just tumbled out.
"I'm just... totally not used to this type of learning. Like, we have all these different teachers and they all have totally different standards. Half of the time, I'm afraid I've said something that's going to get like points taken, because that's what happens with certain professors. And everything seems backwards..." Jake couldn't believe he was complaining about this, but it wasn't a complaint about getting points, just the way it seemed.
"In my opinion, History of Magic didn't go well, I got into arguments about stupid little cards and someone thought I was arguing with them for the sake of it, so it seemed like a bad lesson... then, afterwards, I found out I got points..."
Jake took a breath, and tried to get his words to make sense.
"So I have to get used to the fact that each class is so different..." he explained in a nutshell.
"And, at the welcoming feast, a prefect got docked five points for doing something helpful, which is just weird. It's not much... just the principle." Wow... talking really does help... Jake turned round and stared straight ahead.
"I feel better now."
