So this is a trunk that is definately bigger on the inside. I can fit a lot of stuff in here and I got it at the end of the year along with all of this wizarding school supplies. (Which completes all of the things required to get for the school my other self went to as a first year). Like... I don't know what to do with it all, most of the books are blank: 1. Two sets of plain work robes (black) 2. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide) 3. One winter cloak (black, with silver fastenings) 4. name tags. 5. One plain pointed hat (black) COURSE BOOKS The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1) by Miranda Goshawk A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble OTHER EQUIPMENT 1 cauldron (pewter, standard size 2) 1 set glass or crystal phials 1 telescope 1 set brass scales Does anyone have memories of being in a school that was this structured? Or got a pile of books you can't read?

The school in my memories was anything but structured... even at the exclusion of "magical" equipment, a supply list like this probably wouldn't have been provided.

[ tl;dr Domino High School Was Rough and Tough. ]

So what's the worst that can happen to a student if you're missing something from the list? Do you know yet?

You can't complete your course work I guess. That or good luck completing your potions assignment without a cauldron.

What kind of school did your other self go to?

Not a very pleasant one, if what I've seen of it so far is anything to go by... it was the kind of place where teachers threatened you if you put so much as a toe out of line. One in particular was adamant that I get a crew cut because boys weren't allowed to have long hair... fortunately for me, though, that teacher had another thing coming.

[ Yes, he's omitting details and leaving it vague on purpose. The original Dark Bakura did Nothing Wrong in this instance, as far as he's concerned. ]

And what, you can't just go back to the store and buy the equipment that you forgot? That's what I always do if I need one more folder or notebook.

Threaten you with what?

Well... I'm not sure where he got his school supplies, but the school is in the middle of nowhere in the UK, far from any cities, and they are not allowed to leave campus except on supervised outings. So no, he couldn't. Not unless his parents sent it to him through owl mail. That would still take time to reach him.
