At least someone was going to touch upon the topic of the Hogwarts Express incident. Unlike many other classes, where she was content to just listen rather than jot down information, this time Ariadne prepared her quill and parchment. She had been intrigued when it came to the reasons for which the train broke down a few weeks before. Maybe they were going to reach some conclusion by the end of the class?

Still, it was them who were going to provide answers rather than Professor Scabior. What did she know about the Hogwarts Express? Beyond the obvious things that it was a train and it had broken down...'Because the train had been built by Muggles, Pureblood families were initially opposed to the idea that their children were going to travel to Hogwarts on it, but they were left with no choice after the Ministry introduced a decree.' Saying this, Ari wondered if some parents were going to raise objections now, after the fiasco in September.
