Deductive Reasoning

So tonight we had Julie and Ryan over for dinner. We made BBQ Pulled-Pork sandwiches and Julie and Ryan brought over some pasta salad. It was delicious. After dinner we all ate cupcakes and played Harry Potter clue. After the game we some how got on the topic of deductive reasoning puzzles... After a brief search online we were able to find one and then proceeded to sit there and do one. It was way fun. After they left, Shantell and I decided to try to make one... And here it is!
Description: Each student belongs to a different Hogwarts house, has a different subject they are the best at, and is in a different year (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th). Match up each student with their house, best subject, and year.
----
1. The student in Hufflepuff had to get help from a younger student in Gryffindor on her Defense against the Dark arts homework.
2. The Ravenclaw student needs to study more in order to her pass charms class
3. The Slytherin student is one year younger than Ryan
4. Ever since being sorted a few weeks back, Shantell has wished she could have been in Slytherin
5. The second year student is embarrassed to admit that their best subject is Muggle Studies.
