:Notes:
*Breaks were used to get from one class to the other. They were at least ten minutes long. - 'Once term had started, they were back to skimming through books for ten minutes during their breaks.'
*Herbology was held three times a week. -'Three times a week they went out to the greenhouses behind the castle to study Herbology [...] At least one Herbology class was held in the first morning period. - 'Then, one breakfast time, Hedwig brought Harry another note from Hagrid.' [...] 'Ron wanted to skip Herbology and go straight down to the hut. Hermione wouldn't hear of it.' [...] "Ron and Hermione argued all the way to Herbology and in the end, Hermione agreed to run down to Hagrid's with the other two during morning break."
*There was at least one Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the morning. - 'The next morning in Defence Against the Dark Arts, while copying down different ways of treating werewolf bites [...]'

This class was held on the first morning period. - 'Hermione didn't turn up for the next class and wasn't seen all afternoon.' In 1991, Hallowe'en was Thursday.In the real world calendar, Hallowe'en would be on Thursday in 1991. However, the book often gets days mixed up. For example, in Harry says his eleventh birthday was on Tuesday, but in 1991, it was on Wednesday. Therefore, it is unknown what day of the week it would fall on for certain.
*Flying lessons (joint class with Slytherin) took place on Thursdays - 'Flying lessons would be starting on Thursday — and Gryffindor and Slytherin would be learning together.' at 3:30 pm. - 'At three-thirty that afternoon, Harry, Ron, and the other Gryffindors hurried down the front steps onto the grounds for their first flying lesson.'

The Flying lesson started at three thirty in the afternoon and Harry met Oliver a short while later.

'And you have applied regularly for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post since you first joined the school, I believe?' 'Yes,' said Snape quietly, barely moving his lips.'
