The weekend.
The Ministry of Magic still hadn't caught Sirius Black, so for safety reasons, only upper-year students were allowed to visit Hogsmeade.
The younger students could only obediently stay in the castle or work up a sweat in the activity room.
Starting at eight in the morning, Vincent had led them in laps around the castle.

Vincent quickly shook his head.
