Nice contradiction to the "pink is a pretty and nice color".
No, it is now the color of pure evil.

[dragoness129]

Yep, pink, the color of eeeeevvvvvvvilllll!

[Kitalpha Hart]

And about a century ago, pink was considered masculine and blue was feminine

So, comparing to how you did (or are doing) in school, how do you think you'd do at Hogwarts?
Personally I would be decent at whatever interested me and mediocre at best on the rest
Plus I dunno about sharing a dorm room with others. I don't really like changing in front of others, not even when I had to for gym

I'd be thrilled about no gym there, but running around for classes would be exercise aplenty

[dragoness129]

In school, I'd have Ravenclaw level grades. ^_^

[Kitalpha Hart]

Assuming that Ravenclaw=high grades
Cuz Ravenclaw is all about thinking outside the box. Produced a Minister who only communicated via smoke signals, for example
Which doesn't always translate nicely to schoolwork

[dragoness129]

Ah, yeah. To state plainly, I had all A's and B's in school.
Gym and Driver's Ed being the two exceptions.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Driver's education was not a school course here

Imagine wizarding cars. Not like the one Arthur tinkered with, but professionally made. Yowza

[dragoness129]

That would be interesting if they had some! I would love to learn Apparition though! I'd travel by broom, Flu Powder, and Apparating! I'd try it all once!

[Anarchist Beauty]

I was that lazy ass Ravenclaw who didn't do shit in school. lmao
But if I went to a magic high school to learn about magic things you bet your ass I would have been Valedictorian. lmao

[Kitalpha Hart]

Floo powder
Or as autocorrect wants to say, Flooding powder
LOL

I imagine that there's Ravenclaw who have school grades that aren't so great, but if you see them, they're studying something else entirely, and if there was a class for that, they'd be top of the class

[Mousy]

Top of the class for sure! XD
I was very proud of my grades in school.
BUT
I did not study until I got to college....

*ponders on this*

[Watery Star]

A new hufflepuff has arrived. ^.^

I so wish I could apparate but I wonder how taxing it would be to use that ability.

I was an ok student in school but had to put a lot of effort into my studies. I was horrible at math though so anything associated with that I'd be poor at. Hm would wizardly school be harder? I imagine they still had "regular" subjects along with the magical ones.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Pottermore doesn't say, nor do the other books
But most likely, side Arithmancy is about the magic in numbers. Ancient Runes is essentially a foreign language class. Potions/Alchemy is science, as is Astronomy. History is obviously history

I didn't study in school either
Kids who are like that and do well tend to have a very hard slam of reality once they hit college. Those years their peers had to study? They have the advantage, they can handle it. Those who never did now have to catch up on that aspect, and it'll be harder for them

[murmurlade]

I'm in the Wampus house apparently! But I didn't take the Pottermore test, it's too long...

It's not a subject in the wizarding world but essentially if you combine Arithmancy and Divination you get Numerology: it's the divine ability to predict, with much more accuracy, using numbers and whatnot. Hermione would've liked that much better than wonky Divination.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Sounds like something a Ravenclaw would pursue on their own time, with a few others in the common room
