MMA was a day school, not a boarding school. MMA had no dormitories, and only a lunchtime meal was provided by the school. MMA presumed that students would eat breakfast and supper with their families. If a student was involved in something such as a pick-up game or a school play, in which a student knew he or she would be at school through suppertime, MMA had twenty time-stasis boxes available, in which a student could place food for one day. (If a time-stasis box still had food in it at midnight, an MMA house-elf vanished the food.)
