We need to discuss what we want for Coppertale regarding house parties. Magdalen and Cecil have given senior prefects the authority to decide what's best for our house.

So. If Ribbonfin and Ebonhide are going to disallow all drugs and alcohol at parties outside the Grotto, we should too.

We need consistency and camaraderie. The prefects need to have a unified front. It will be better if as many of us as possible support this decision. It will be unpopular, so we can't waver. We need to be seen as a strong, cooperative team. No weak links amongst the seniors. The younger prefects will soon realize it's not so bad, their friends will forgive them, and they can blame us for being hardasses. I don't know what Azurcrest will do, but the other three houses should be together on this... Especially if Azurcrest decides to enforce more rules. They will need our help, they will need to see no one is bending.

Coppertale's biggest problems are not drinking and smoking anyway. It's fighting. Going too hard. That mixes badly with alcohol. If it happens in the Grotto, we deal with it, but it should not happen where we live.

Magdalen asked me to make the announcement of the policy change when everyone has finished talking.

I will be making an announcement of the new expectations at camp parties as soon as we're done talking to one another.

My understanding so far is that Ebonhide and Ribbonfin are going to allow no use of alcohol and drugs at campsite parties. Azurcrest and Coppertale are still discussing. Are there any other nuances I should be aware of?
