Well, that was interesting

I wonder how long it'll take someone to actually land something that will properly hit Professor Desai? It was interesting to see who tried for it, and when, and who was holding back, or only taking shots at fellow students.

Linus, you should make a chart or something.

And go Milli! That was quite bold of you. Too bad Ron got your wand. I hope the counter hexes kicked in properly.

Merlin...I've never heard of dyslexia before. But now I'm wondering if that's something I have.

I've always been a slow reader, because yeah, sometimes the letters look weird to me. And when I started learning to write, Gran often said I was putting down my letters backwards.

Huh.

Well, writing certain letters backward is common, or so I was told, when one starts out. But one usually grows out of it with practice.

I say, I'd bally well no idea you had any sort of trouble like that. So sorry to have hit a nerve, old man. Perhaps Matron could perform some sort of...evaluation? I'm not sure how it would be diagnosed by wizards.

I don't know either. I guess I can ask her.

I wonder...is it something you learned about in France? Or maybe muggles know about it and most wizards don't? Because I would have thought Gran would have known about it, or learned about it, when she was trying to do anything she could think of to get me to learn how to read and write.

In the end she just threw up her hands and told me to try harder. That didn't help very much.

It's rather common among Muggles, yes. No offence intended to Matron or your grandmother, what, but on the whole it does seem that Muggle medicine has a better grasp of this sort of thing.

Then again, it was Muggle doctors who thought I had some unheard of ailment, when it was merely magical ability. And come to think of it, Muggles can't do things like regrow bones or heal broken ones in half a second, what! So perhaps they each have advantages and drawbacks.
