Schedules at Hogwarts

Well, it's never said students have Dark Arts [i]every[/i] day, you 
know.
Once a week - approximately 4/day. (including weekends)
Twice a week - 8/day.
So my guess is that students have Dark Arts once or twice a week - 
depending on the year they're in.

Less time as they advance, I presume. They'll get more and more 
independent work.

A 7th years may have merely time to recieve the subject they're to do 
an essay on - and return it the next week and get a new subject...

So mmm... A schedule:

Monday:
6-7 Breakfast.
7-8 Ravenclaw First Years
8-9 Gryffindor First Years
9-10 Slytherin First Years.
10-11 Hufflepuff First Years.
11-13 Lunch
13-14 Ravenclaw Third Years.
14-15 Gryffindor Third Years.
15-16 Slytherin Third Years.
16-17 Hufflepuff Third Years.
17-18 Dinner

Tuesday:
6-7 Breakfast
7-8 Ravenclaw Second
8-9 Gryffindor Second
9-10 Slytherin Second
10-11 Hufflepuff Second.
11-13 Lunch
13-17 Fourth Years (An hour each, or doubles or some such)
17-18 Dinner.
Wednesday:
6-7 Breakfast
Fifth Years
Lunch
Sixth Years
Dinner
Thursday:
Breakfast
Seventh Years
Lunch
First Years? Free time
Dinner
Friday:
First/Second/Free...

Saturday: First/Second(who aren't allowed in Hogsmeade)
Sunday: Free...

So er... I think there's plenty of time to spend... And it's not 
needed to end teaching at Dinner, you know, just leave 8hrs for 
sleep, Lunch doesn't need to take 2 hours i.e. 11:30-12:30... 
Although, older students for late classes would be preferred - and 
First/Second Years during the weekend...
