[Warded to Sophomore Prefects]

~~Surprise, surprise. The upperclassmen are being melodramatic again.~~

Have any of you been to the Grotto before?

[Warded to Ebonhide Sophomore Boys]

Gentlemen. We need to discuss rules.

Very well.

I don't like them.

As we're well aware, but alas, there are some things we must be forced into if we don't want to lose our scholarships.

First rule: respect of personal spaces. Do not open my trunk again, I swear to God

Well. I suppose.

But I like your weird pens. ~~Also, I was thinking, what if I took just one curl of~~

My pens aren't weird, they're just pens. And easily accessible to wizards of all backgrounds. There's nothing wei

They don't sell pens like that where I live.

Can I have one?

[...] Right, of course.

[Archie]
Fine. Yes. But if you try to take more than one, I'll be demanding recompense.

How long do they last? How much do they cost? [...] I don't have any money myself. But I need one to write with, and one to analyze.

You can get pens for very cheap. But the ones I have were $12 for a pack of 10 ~~except I had a coupon for~~ and you don't even know how much a No-Maj dollar is, do you?

[...]

No, I don't understand monetary value very well.

We'll [...] work out a payment plan, if it comes to that. For now, I'll give you two and you can agree not to touch my things.

Also... Paris is being passive-aggressive to me about poisoning classmates. We're not going to have any incidents, are we?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

I won't give anyone anything they didn't ask for. I can promise that.

Explicitly ask for, Archie. As in, in writing.

I'm writing right now.

I mean, if you're going to be giving someone a potion, you need to get their agreement in writing. You're better off relying on solid evidence than trusting people's word that they won't rat you out.

Sometimes they ask for a simple potion, but I think I can improve upon the recipe. Do I really need to warn them first?

~~Once.~~ Once or twice. [...] Why?

~~I went once and~~ I've never been. Is it really worth all this fuss?

You mean the ward? [...] I don't know. I never saw anything out there more frightening than a drunk upperclassman blowing smoke in my face. ~~But~~

[...] Do you think they expected any us to volunteer? To go with them?

How unbelievably rude. Your voice no worse for the wear, I hope?

They did last year, didn't they? Just so some of the senior prefects could "take the night off."

I really hope we haven't graduated from Freshmen Owls to Sophomore Sober Buddies.

[...] Did anyone ever actually ask you to ~~be an ow~~ deliver anything?

I did. Being an Ebonhide freshman in Event Committee, with our last reigning queens? You're first choice for Freshman Owls.

[...] That makes sense. It doesn't seem very fair, though. I'm sorry!

Edited 2017-09-02 04:22 (UTC)

We all have to pay our dues to get ahead. Now I actually have a voice in EC. And the right to exploit freshmen as mail carriers.

[...] That's a joke. ~~Not really.~~

I assumed it was.

What do you think you'll do now that you have a voice in the Event Committee? Is there anything you're hoping for?

Yes, I'm pretty sure Beans encouraged them.

Why do you think so?

I suspect she considers invasion of privacy for thankless labor a fair trade.

[...] Did you read them?

No, other people's personal business is très boring.

~~Really?~~ That's probably for the best.

Not expecting freshmen to deliver things you're more than capable of delivering yourself would be for the best.

Agreed! At least you, Hero, and I won't treat the freshmen like that.

Edited 2017-09-02 05:18 (UTC)

No. Thank goodness. (And thank you for asking!) But it smelled awful.

~~I didn't mean~~ They did, that's true. I always assumed that the sophomores got nights off too but I don't really know. I didn't pay much attention to any of this last year.

I truly don't see the appeal of imbibing poisonous substances.

Yes, the prefects did rather like to be secretive about their goings-on, didn't they? It's a bit strange now to get to see behind the curtain.

Neither do I. Especially the kind that can impact other people.

I didn't expect it to be so [...] chaotic? But everyone's so passionate and you can tell that they care. So I can understand that.

I haven't, but ~~with the way the upperclassmen are losing their minds over it~~ I guess that will have to change if any of my girls want to go.

Your girls are the adventurous sort. Have you considered handcuffing them to a bed post?

Handcuffing's worth a shot. It sounds like a fun challenge for everyone.

What about you?? Archie's so tiny he could vanish before you know it.

Let me know if you need any help. We're partners now, after all.

Ah well, we can't all be as ~~gigantic~~ towering as you, Miss Holloway. I'm covering the rules now.

Likewise. I'd be happy to help with handcuffing any of your boys too.

Don't fret, Hero. Boys are supposed to be late bloomers. Have you gotten to the section about poisoning classmates yet?? I thought it was a fascinating read!!

Oh, we can hardly test that. A beautiful woman like you? They'd jump at the chance.

I'm sure that Archie has learned his lesson. [...] And if he hasn't, it's my name he's going to drag through the mud.

I'm merely offering assistance if your own unique charms aren't sufficient.

Excellent!! I know you're all such bright promising minds!! It really is such a shame about poor Scott.
