I'm not trying to question authority or anything, but I don't really understand what all the fuss is about the sledding. I mean, maybe I just don't understand something because I'm muggleborn, but quidditch seems just as dangerous? I mean, you're way up high on brooms jostling each other, and there are two iron balls enchanted to attack you and try to knock you off your broom. People get hurt plenty at that, right? And there were broken bones and concussions from hockey the other day, too.

And I get that there was underage drinking, and people were hurt and there was no healer on hand, but if people do this every year anyway, why don't they just turn it into a school sanctioned event? Staff being there would keep people from drinking, and Mufferaw could be there to fix any injuries.

~~Or is it just that we're only allowed to endanger ourselves for sports? You're allowed to get a concussion as long as it's something you can win at?~~

	Okay. Where are you? Um I kind of applied on a whim. I didn't think I'd actually get in. And then... I wasn't going to accept, but ~~I wasn't always happy at Hogwarts~~ I'm really glad I did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I was in my cabin, but now I'm outside, but I could come by your cabin. Why weren't you going to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay! Well, because I'd never done anything as big as this before, and the thought of leaving everything familiar behind and going to a school thousands of miles away from home was kind of scary. And maybe it wouldn't be a big deal to a lot of people, but... it was to me. What about you? Why did you decide to come to Gooseberry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. :) No, it is really scary to go somewhere all new! I mean, Gooseberry is in the same country as Ilvermorny, but it's still far away and really different. I knew a couple of people, like Kurt and Ennis, from Ilvermorny, but that just made it scary instead of terrifying. [...] I didn't really. My parents thought it would be good for me.

	You're really lucky you already had friends here to make it easier for you! I didn't even think about the fact that I'd see ~~Calvin~~ certain people here who used to go to Hogwarts. Oh. In what way? [...] Was being at Ilvermorny bad for you? (Reply to this) (Parent)
