1st experiment

[greenteengenius]

I am Lyrl Dox, a 5th year. Though, if we're to be accurate, this is my first year here.

So this is what a proper school is like? I have to admit, the number of enchantments is impressive. Is there any purpose to the rotating staircases aside from trying to kill the students? Not that I don't enjoy the sense of murderous whimsy.

There are also quite a few more people here than I expected. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by the crowds, but there are herds of them. And they're all so absurdly loud and oblivious.

Is there some sort of spell for volume control?

Hello Dox! I know I've seen you in the common room a number of times, but don't think I've properly introduced myself yet. My name is Shinra Kishitani and I'm in 4th year. And I have been attending Hogwarts for four years, so if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them! Although I don't think I can tell you if this is what a normal school is like. Hogwarts is the only school I've ever attended, so I don't really have a point of reference.

In any case, it's a pleasure to meet you!

I could use directions to the library. I have been a little too busy to find my way there as of yet. I'm only familiar with tutoring, and it was much more subdued.

A pleasure.

[doctorkishitani]

Certainly! The library's on the third floor. The central staircases will take you straight there, if you're planning to go mid afternoon. Except on Thursdays.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it once you get there. It's very extensive.

[greenteengenius]

My thanks. I worry that I may find myself a bit behind in some areas due to not attending until now, so it's vital I have access to the material.

That and I simply plan to spend much of my free time there, of course.

[doctorkishitani]

That is possible. I don't think Hogwarts operates under any sort of standardized curriculum. And I doubt personal tutors would either.

But I think that if you have a good basic understanding of magical concepts, you should do reasonably well.

And really? I spend a lot of my free time in the library as well. Especially this month. What are you planning to research?

[greenteengenius]

For now, I'll continue reviewing the books used for previous years of classes. If I find nothing surprising, I'll look into whatever catches my fancy at the moment.

I was thinking perhaps anatomy and rudimentary healing spells might make a start.
