Much appreciated~Oh, one more thing that I spotted, this time involving dear Eliza.A few minutes? How did it go from "" and "" to "[the opening ceremony is] in a few minutes"? I realize that you said it took her "decidedly too long" to find her gloves, but then why would the second-year boys be considered "early-bird(s)" if they're out and about just minutes before the ceremony?

Despite this probably sounding like a cheesy made up excuse, it really isn't: Eliza's exaggerating for the sake of humorous dramatisation. Same goes for 'far away', while I don't know the specific dimenions of the academy, I'd figure it's not [i]that[/i] huge.
