Marauders: Thank goodness for that because if we weren't, this'd probably never work.

Honestly, just imagine what would have happened in Harry Potter if Molly Weasley had her sons a year after the other instead of a few years in between. The madness of it!! Harry's Secondyear would have been very fun, that's all I can say

Some kids have immaculate notes. they're in cursive and everything and they will frame the notes at the end of the year. some of the kids had crazy intense detailed notes that fill every inch of the page in a messy scrawl and detail half their essay in points. and some kids... some of them are in the eagle house because of their other skills. they do their best to take notes- really they do! they've been warned too many times to no write down SOMETHING about the class they're in... but they do end up creating half a manuscript, or a masterpiece of scribbles or sheet music or damn! even origami! They sometimes still have stuff from class! but the teachers would rather not decode their mess and just have them copy from one of the more traditional Ravenclaws. The Professors know better than to try and control one of the Arty Ravens. That usually ends badly... They are crafty little bastards after all

My poor mathematics professor is trying so hard to explain to the class one simple concept, and everyone was asking him the dumbest questions. So he's struggling to make metaphors and decides on this one about salad. He explained that we have all these ingredients that go into the salad, including the dressing. However, we have to put together the dressing before we put it into the salad. Everyone in the class starts going "oh!" but then just starts throwing salad ingredient suggestions at him to add to the ingredient list, and you could just see the sadness and disappointment wash over his face after that...
