Just to put in a little perspective...
DH playtime happened the 1997-1998 term. We just finished up the 1998-1999 term.
If you need information about the Ward let me know.
She could've gone into hiding, she could've had plottage with the Ward, or she could've transferred to Beauxbatons.
If she did the first two, she would've had to re-do whatever year she was supposed to be in.
She could've re-done that same year if she had gone to Beauxbatons (like Stephen did with his sixth year), or she could've passed and would've gone into the next year.
juliet beat me.
but you can still use the years as a reference. >>
