The one thing that Carsyn was STILL resentful about was the lack of quidditch. Like, how could the Headmistress just go and CANCEL QUIDDITCH. You don't do that. Sure it would have been challenging to schedule matches with two schools, but it was workable. They could have played together. Or against each other. Learned strategies from each other. Especially with the brisk air; the mountainous backdrop would have been LOVELY to fly against - even challenging for her seeker's eye.

Something else that was challenging? Arithmancy.

Carsyn was never one to hide her displeasure with something, which was why at Professor Sissay's initial remarks of starting off with some arithmetic exercises, the fourth year audibly groaned. Why was she in this class again? Oh right, cause certain family members insisted it would be beneficial or something. Sure it was probably moreso than other subjects *coughdivinationcough* but honestly, how beneficial could it be to know how to multiply?

Unsure if she should be calling out the answers or not, Carsyn distracted herself by copying the equations down in on her parchment instead.

11. 471 ÷ 3 = 168

Done. How'd she do? Who knew, but hopefully her answers were CLOSE and if not ... well it was just a warmup, wasn't it???
