I was a little disappointed when the ISFPs weren’t assigned Herbology or Care of Magical Creatures. But when I saw we had Ghoul Studies it made perfect sense. I’ve always been drawn to the misunderstood cast-offs in life, they don’t intimidate me and their complexity is intriguing. I was even rooting for poor Gollum in LOTR but alas, he was literally his own worst enemy. 😢
