That noise y'all hear is me cheering that this chapter is done! I typed over 6,000 words today. Again, loves the vacation.

As usual, feel free to comment on anything. I love comments. Of all sizes.
Things I learned in the process of writing this chapter:
-There's an hour less sunlight at this time of year in St. Louis, compared with Vancouver.
-I was strongly tempted to use "British" words for breakfast food, but knew I'd just show the world what a goober I am, so Harry's eating bacon this morning.
-Capslock!Harry is fun to write.

Date: 2005-08-03 06:20 am (UTC)The other part of it (again, IMO) is the hidden "two-tier" education system in the (British?) Wizarding World. Despite the fact that Hogwarts is supposed to be the best magical school in the Wizarding World, the classes seem to be geared towards full-bloods and half-bloods that live in the Wizarding World. It seems to be a matter of the teachers unconsciously assuming that the relatives of their students would *obviously* have already told them about *that*, so that means the teacher can spend more time teaching them *this*. Still the end result is that most muggle-born/raised students (except the Ravenclaws and other bookworms) have holes in their education.

Date: 2005-08-03 06:23 am (UTC)The reason Harry's not using his magic is simple: Dobby trauma. He's still convinced that if he uses magic, something's going to come and snap him on the ass about it. Also, he figures it's rude to do magic when no one else can. (a plot point I keep forgetting to address, thanks for reminding me.
