I missed one voting set because I did not have time to read post, but I'd have voted for the winning vote anyway...
As for this one, I think I will abstain. I think all three choices are equally important and it might just be a quest set-up, but it feels to me that it is pushing a bit too heavily into any specific option. Frankly, I'd have preferred it if we have some post-friendship-realization scenes with each of the three options (Ravenclaw, Megan/Justin and Tracey) and then let random chance determine who explores the lake with us. Kind of like whoever is there at the moment comes along?
That said, I am really happy we are breaking out of this shell and finally actually considering possibility of friendships

Gonna be honest, I don't see any way Jacob will or should share the Mountain exploration with anyone for a few reasons. It was noted that that specific exploration option was extremely dangerous and it was sort of hinted at that it should be conducted by Jacob alone (at least that was my take away from those chapters). Choosing to have Jacob explore that ruin with anyone else is explicitly putting their life in danger (something I'm not really willing to gamble with).
Furthermore, Jacob is a prodigy and as such will advance faster than his peers and the fact of the matter is that he has advantages that many of his peers don't. As such, any of his classmates that Jacob takes with him will be someone he has to constantly watch out for while trying to keep himself alive. Basically, Jacob himself had a tough time of it and I don't think any peer of his has something that they could bring to the table that would be worth the risk. That isn't even touching the fact that if a classmate of his were to die there then Jacob would be screwed. Or if they decide they need to tell a teacher about the place because it is too dangerous to be left there. After all, a normal student's reaction to seeing the corpses of former students isn't to explore deeper. Jacob finds the place fascinating, other students are likely to find it horrifying and may feel the need to tell a teacher in order to stop Jacob from getting hurt. The Mountain exploration is serious business, if Jacob is crazy enough to take someone with him then he better be prepared for them to die.

Kind of want to grow a little closer to our Housemates. Though any of the options look pretty interesting.

Maybe in a few years it would have been reasonable to take a invite a of the more talented students, Goldstein and... Boot (I think Boot was noted to be talented and driven?)... except Jacob used dark magic to bind something, and it tends to not look great to have done that. That's the main reason I think he shouldn't take people with him.
But if there are no signs of dark magic or anything sketchy that can be linked to Jacob, then a few highly talented fifth years or above would be able to more that pull their weight, provided we lean on them to be ready to turn back when the going gets tough. (Jacob is also a fifth year in this scenario)
And also to get some cheap broomsticks to go down that really long corridor faster.

Hmm... For some reason, I think this is exactly the train of thought the group whose corpses we found had. I think that Jacob should keep going there solo.

Nahhhh. It'll be fine. In and out, a quick 20 minute adventure.
Not like anyone ever died trying to explor- oh. ohhhhh.

Ok. Maybe. But regardless, this is very speculative about something very far in the future. That whole thing just screams to me "final dungeon, you must be [this level] to enter"

Edit: But for realsies, if Jacob does intend to go down there, a broomstick for traveling down that long passageway is an appealing idea. I get tired thinking about that long walk.

Talaria; Allows you to step on air as if on ground; Gain a +Constitution on all combat rolls.
Jacob still has to walk when using them. They're fantastic in their own right, but not designed for travelling quickly.

I wonder if we can use the do something action to train our magic sense ability?

Tracey is tempting, but I'd rather form some connections with our own house. Plus they've been helping out Jacob by looking after him.
