[It will never cease to amaze him just how much Rapunzel has missed out on in her life.]
Seven years, in fact. Sort of. I'm in my last year. It was...well, it's a boarding school, which means that nearly ten months out of the year I live there, and it's a castle. Hogwarts students aren't allowed to attend school until they've reached the age of eleven, and once they arrive they're sorted into one of the four school houses. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and of course the best, Slytherin. Once we're sorted into our houses we stay there all seven years and we room with the same people all seven years. I shared a dorm with four other boys growing up. [Which made things kind of hard in sixth year, but details...) Anyway your housemates are the people you share your classes with as well, though often times the teachers would combine lessons so that you shared with another house.
We learned everything...Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defense against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Astronomy and Herbology were always required. Once you reached your third year, you had to pick two other subjects, mostly stupid stuff like Divination or Care of the Magical Creatures. Our school was just like every other school in the world. We went to lessons, we had homework and then we had exams.
Considering it was a boarding school, we also shared meals with the entire school three times a day. There's around one thousand of us in the school most of the time, not including the staff. We had sports, too. Quidditch was popular. Each house had their own team, so if you were on the team like I was you had practices on top of everything else. Sometimes we would have special events and such. Once you're in your third year, you can visit the nearby wizarding village, but it loses its appeal after a while, believe me.
All in all, nothing too impressive. [And at the same time he's almost begun to miss it as soon as he started talking about it. He's almost hoping Rapunzel will ask more questions so he can keep talking about it, or that she'll change the subject so he can stop thinking about it. It's a hard call.]
