Well, that was fun. I agree that it did seem short, but I don't mind chapters that lay the groundwork for future chapters.
I'm now starting to see Hufflepuff as kind of awesome, which is an impressive feat. And the notion of Hufflepuff senpais was actually pretty good.
Is it bad that I thought of Fighteer during that section on the meaning of evil, and how evil always thinks it's correct?
And it's great to see Professor Vector being actually interesting, and potentially important to the plot. Arithmancy is portrayed in canon as more of an obstacle for the heroes to get over, or as a thing that smart people are good at. Which is pretty much the kind of impression that most writers have of their high school mathematics courses. For those of us who are in STEM fields, it's hard imagine a world where mathematics is not important. Especially one with rule-based magic, precise potions, and equivalent exchange sacrifice. So it's nice to see her rehabilitated, and to have arithmancy as a resource rather than a hindrance to the heroes.
It turns out that "fiat lux" was the "Hello World!" spell for God too, more literally than is typical.
