      Oh I was thinking that old story “when I went to Hogwarts, I had to run fast, uphill both ways, somehow through the snow… inside the building even!?” So like, a rite of passage - boomers had to do it, so now everyone else does too:-P.

        Yeah, that’s totally what could be the (stair)case for most things in Hogwarts! And if I were a senior there, I would be like that too :D

        Funny idea, I still don’t really get the inital one; could also be lost in translations. I’m not a native speaker.

          I guess you understand it - the student is late, but the stairs will not cooperate, thus causing frustration. And “circumstairces” is not a real world, but it works perfectly for this situation!:-)
