Chapter 17
It was the first week back after the holiday, and Harry was avoiding the Commons like his House had the plague. He finally found Cedric in the library, and decided he’d stay with him until the library closed, when it might be safe to return for bed.
“Not that I mind you studying with me, Harry, but why aren’t you in your Commons?”
“There’s this first year, Cho. She almost beats out Ginny for creepy stalker-girl. She staked out the Commons to corner me. I thought Penny and Yvonne were bad, cooing over me, but this girl…she has this glint in her eye, demented, I tell you. Oh, that for some reason reminded me that instead of the theory lessons for Astronomy for the next 6 weeks, supposedly we have a sexual-education class. Do you think I’ll be able to beg off? I mean, I’m 10 years old, even if there’s some arranged marriage recorded for me, I couldn’t carry it out for at least 4 years…”
“That was kind of a random subject change. As for the class, try talking to Flitwick? I’m not sure how much he can do, but it can’t hurt to try.”
Harry found out that he couldn’t be excused, but the class wasn’t actually that graphic. The boys’ class focused more on providing resources on the preventative measures, the laws governing their use, and responsibilities of fathers. To a certain extent, it was more a class on Wizard Customs of Marriage and Morals than a real sexual education class as the Muggle-raised understood it. He asked Penny, his Transfiguration mentor, who was in Percy’s year, whether the girls’ section was more what he was expecting a sex-ed class to be. She was a half-blood, so she understood what he meant. Again, the girls learned more about the cycle-regulation potions and the magical version of Pamprin, though they did learn about the dangers of pregnancy before one’s magical majority, and the extreme taboo of unwed sexual intercourse. When Charlie heard what Harry had been blushing about, he explained that the mechanics of intercourse were part of a week-long series of lectures before Winter Holiday in one’s 7th year, or so he heard from Bill.
