He looked down at his feet, which were twice as long as Ronnie's and three times the size of an average first-year at Hogwarts. He always felt, he would get made fun of for being so tall, and having long legs, arms, etc., but so far, he hadn't had a problem with anybody. Probably because of the fact, he'd beat the living heck if they really did insult him, he probably intimidated a lot of students, and not just first and second years either. He could remember when he met a fifth year at Flourish and Blotts, and the student looked intimidated as well as a bit frightened, that he was only a second year. Then he thought, Well, at least I'm the shortest shrimp in the sea!
When it came to classes, Jordan always expected students to take a lot of classes here at Hogwarts. And boy did they, some of his friends had 7-8 classes throughout the day. Jordan was astounded that some students would devote their whole day to classes! Jordan preferred to actually learn magic, partake in a break between classes, which usually included a two to three hour nap, then going back to another class. The way students, overacheived these days, were completely brilliant, but exhausting. "Well, you should definitely take Defense Against The Dark Arts, I here there is a new professor in town. And a good one, one that will actually teach us DADA. And not someone who works at the ministry and Hogwarts, this time!" Jordan replied delightfully.
When Jordan would look up words in his muggle dicitonary, Rose Deluise, would show up under overacheived. She was planning on taking SEVEN classes at Hogwarts. For Jordan, it was a pain to take four! It got him thinking, maybe this is normal for wizards. Maybe this is the attitude wizards should have going into Hogwarts, to strive for excellence and acheivement. "Taking enough classes?" Jordan said jokingly. He had only planned to take at least four. "I'm not sure what exactly I'll take, but I was thinking, Herbology, DADA, Charms, and CoMC!"
Jordan wasn't found of taking flying, only because he was already a decent flyer, so why waste a class on it? And Divination, that was the first one crossed off the list. He despised the subject, it was as if the primary focus was Guesses on the earth, and they gave that a class. What a waste of a class, Jordan thought. I'd take basket-weaving classes before I'd take Divination. He thought about taking Potions again, but he sort of had mixed feelings for the subject. He was good in potion-making, but it sure was a lot of work.
