I cannot believe this is a mandatory programme that we are being forced into! I know there will be many who speak out that this is a good experience, that it will help open the eyes to new ways of doing things or how the "other half lives", whatever that may means. But how can they be so blind to see the difficulties and bad situations this could lead to? Random people paired with others that they may not know (or like) could end in a disastrous event. While we may all be adults in the wizarding society, surely they should be treating us with such respect and allow us to make our own decisions. We are no longer students who need to be told what we need to do and when we need to do it.
