Simon's question seemd quite an interesting one. Menia was the kind of person that met a lot of people from other wizarding school such as Durmstrang and Beauxbatons and of course heard many things about the school. Now when she was at Hogwarts and often she would compare Hogwarts with other wizarding schools. She compared the students of different schools as well. It seemed like in every way Hogwarts was better than the other schools and the students had much more knowledge of magic.
Menia took a deep breath before she would start another long speech, she closed her eyes for a second before she would start to speak.
"Hmm... that was a good question, and an interesting one too."- said Menia with an exciting tone of her voice. - "Well, let's see. If you would like to hear my honest opinion then I must tell you that Hogwarts is indeed number one among all other schools that exist. In first place I think that the education is way too much better, for an example we learn DADA, while in Durmstrang they learn Dark Arts, I do not think that it's a clever thing to teach it to underage wizards. I would say it is a 9.5 out of 10 school. You know what's the 0.5 I do not like about the school?''

Talking with @Menia Eve Calin
Simon didn't know that the students of the Durmstrang Institute for Magical Learning were taught Dark Arts and he agreed, that didn't seem like a clever thing to teach anyone in a world that could use more peace and understanding and kindness. Maybe it was so they could see the evils and horrors in it - like when you teach about the sadder and disappointing parts of history so that history doesn't repeat itself. Somehow he didn't think that was the reason though.
And he agreed that it didn't seem very smart, not did it seem very safe. He was glad it wasn't one of the subjects taught at Hogwarts.
If Simon could name something he didn't like about Hogwarts, it would be the harsh rivalry that some placed on the various houses. He knew there were some in the student body that wouldn't even give him a moment of their time just because he was a Hufflepuff and they thought so low of them which was crazy. Simon held his house on high regard and he quite held his school on high regard as well. It was a second home.
"What could Hogwarts do to make it up to a ten in your eyes?" Simon asked curiously and smiled to the girl.
