50 students per year? It must be suffocating to live and study among the same people all the time. Cam tried not to gape at the younger man. He was unable, though, to accurately measure up the differences. 130 v. 50. With the former, you certainly knew everyone's name but for some of them, that was all you knew. With the latter.... well, you must know just about everything about the person. But with that small a number in the class and school, Hogwarts had definitely produced some of the greatest (if not the three greatest) and most popular wizards of all time. (With regards to You-Know-Who, at least 2/3 had come out benevolent).
"I can't imagine what that must be like." Cameron tried to, though. The best he got was an image of pretty stone corridors, one side opening out into a courtyard, with students walking from one class to the next, in their uniforms conversing at a reverent resonance. It seemed a tranquil fantasy, not nearly like FSAs reality. With an open campus and nearly two miles between the closest building and the farthest, one almost needed a time-turner to commute from (say) Potions in Sayer Hall (East Campus) to (say) History in MacAfee Hall (South Campus). Firsties rarely ever made this transition gracefully, and they certainly had enough practise in it. But one main building with few outlying buildings (knowledge gained from Luke's letters) seemed a much more concrete system than several separate (outlying) buildings with one central Dining Hall and Student Centre (the Áras Mac Leinne).
"Must be relaxing, eh?"
