Sorry about that (perhaps Goyle confuses the different meanings of 'light' and thinks the proverb is appropriate when talking about fire.). I think it's time to include a spelling mistake or two. (I was tempted to make Goyle misspell 'as', too. )

Phew, and I thought we had already seen all of Goyle's answer to this particular question! I imagine he tends to give concise answers to exam questions.

LOL, Verity, absolutely in character! Doesn't he usually fail his exams?

Sorry about the delay! I meant to write this much earlier!

I hope both Mona and PAH are well.

As this question is just one of many, I didn't think we were ready for a final grade of 'Dreadful' or 'Troll'... yet.

I am fine Julia, just busy. I have looked in a few times, but didn't really have any ideas of what to write before, so left it until another time.

Verity, it is entirely possible this story will be written at a leisurely pace. It seems to happen more and more here, as time goes on.

Maybe she looks/reaches for another exam to read? I know I do that when I come across a clunker of an answer in one student's test.

Spoiler:

Verity, as it happens, I do check in on Pottermore frequently, and the PM FB groups of which I am a member. And I am earning points, but at a much slower pace than I did in year 1 — no ending with 6 digits for me at the end of Year 2's cup race! — but I have only ever tried to earn points for the house of Blue and Bronze, as I am a . But sadly, I have contributed to some of Gryffindor's points, as I lose duels to Gryffindors more often than I'd like to. I have been similarly giving to Hufflepuff and Slytherin. I am hoping to make 3107 points before the 31st of July, in honor of and JKR, herself.

I haven't forgotten about Story #147, I promise.

Hi, Verity and PAH!

Come on... Griselda might not say this out loud, but it's entirely plausible that she would think it.

Hi, Julia.

Verity, I have gotten to know a vision-impaired Pottermore user and fellow Ravenclaw in a FB group, who can access a lot of the site by using a screen reader. However, making potions and dueling are out of the scope of what her screen reader and other visual aids for the computer can do, and the new mini-games are not accessible to her, either. Many of us signed an on-line petition months ago that was sent to PM asking them to consider making the site more accessible to visually-impaired users. So far, it doesn't look like my friend will be able to earn points any other way except by the first-time collection of hidden items, which is such a shame since she is eager to participate in this activity. So she has the inclination and the time, but PM has not offered her, and many others, the means. Maybe they will think about having a more accessible site for all users in the 3rd book. It would be a shame if, eventually, all seven books were limited in this way.
