Godric nodded along with Helga as she explained the classes. When she explained about the boys' and girls separation in the common rooms, he snorted. "Don't be modest my friend," he insisted, shaking his head.
"Essentially, they're split into sides - male and female. When a male tries to go up the girls' side, the stairs turn into a slide, landing them flat on their behinds at the bottom. It's genius, not to mention, a little scary what lengths they've gone to to protects our students from their natural curiosity. And the portraits over the bathing chambers monitor those coming in. If it's a girl painting observing a boy trying to enter, it simply won't allow the door to open and vice versa. We take the safety of our students very seriously and that includes from each other." He explained.
"But otherwise yes, the courses are intermingled. Honestly, now that you say that, Lady Hufflepuff, I can't think of any classes that are restricted by sex. We teach them everything - the young men will learn to do household charms, the young ladies will learn defense with both blade and wand. I know that young ladies aren't quite as strong as men but there are daggers and bows, which are just as good for protection as a sword at one's hip - if they know how to use it.
"And I'll see that they do. Otherwise, we have set lessons for the general masses. There simply isn't enough time to teach every spell out there, which is what the library is for - giving those students who are hungrier for knowledge a chance to really research something if they're deeply interested in it." All of this was said in between eating his food as Godric was really looking forward to this whole conversation.
"After we eat, I can take you on a tour of the castle. Not all of it but some of the highlights - places Moira will likely be if she's allowed to attend so that you can see for yourself what we have set up."
