Is mug school here really like that? Every week?

Not that it was terrible, but it was strange.

I think that's still putting it a bit lightly to be honest.

It was fucking awful, lar.

But yeah, I suppose that's what it's supposed to be like.
Nothing like I saw in the films. Gutted.

[fortisleo]

Your first time too then?

The school I went to before was nothing like this one. It's all a bit strange with the cliques and things. The Houses were like that to a certain extent but

[shethrewstones]

In a Yank school? Yeah, man.
Moved over a few months back.
I left school at sixteen and but the old boy put me back in again. Idiot.

Mine wasn't like this either.
Wasn't perfect, but far better than whatever this hell this is.

Why'd you go there?

[fortisleo]

Oh. I was really referring more to muggle

It is a lot different from the school I went to in my universe as well. Well, school's a bit necessary. What would you do without it?

To learn? Do you mean the other school? It was different is all. Magic actually. Quite a bit different than this school in a lot of ways.

[uponthewires]

Something like that!

If it helps, it's kind of strange for everybody, so you're not alone there.

You just get used to the strange at some point.

[fortisleo]

That does help a bit.

How is it strange for everybody? Do you mean that everyone thinks high school is as odd as I do?

Is every high school like

I won't ask that question. It's not the monsters or anything like that but the strange separation of people into groups and the way they treat those not in their groups. I dunno. We were sorted into houses in my old school, and there was loyalty and rivalries there, but this seems even more intense in a way.

[uponthewires]

Probably not. I mean, we're all our own people, so it's a different experience according to the individual. But high school in general is bizarre.

Living in Chicago is bizarre. Or that's what it feels like to me anyway.

I have only ever been to Looney High and this one private school that's also in Chicago, so I wouldn't be able to say.

But! Cliques are kind of a high school staple. The jocks and the cheerleaders and the goths and....yeah. It can get really intense. Don't let it turn you off completely. There are positives to it all, as well.

[fortisleo]

Oh. I hadn't realized that actually. That high school is bizarre.

Chicago is bizarre. I can agree with that after living here for as long as I have. Quite a bit of agreeing, and I didn't come from anywhere that would be considered normal.

I've only been to school in my universe, and this is really different.

Got it. Suppose it makes sense that people who are alike hang around with each other, but I don't understand the pushing around others. I've seen it before just

What are some of the positives?
