now me (mtwelovett)
thanks for the references, so if a normal class is now 90 minutes (if
history of Magic isn't double here) then double classes are three
hours... (ugh that sounds unbearable in some cases) and that really
throws a wrench into how she managed to teach all those classes on top
of everything else she had her nose in. 

Harry gets Detention with Umbridge at 5 pm so classes would have to be
over by then wouldn't they? Could she give him a detention for a time
when he was supposed to be in class? So if classes are over by 5
(excpet for maybe Astronomy lab) that still doesn't add a lot of time
to the schedule. (and he did lines from then until after midnight most
nights... that is over 7 hours of detention per night!!!! that evil
Witch!!!!) 

How do any of them do it?
