004.
For the record, it isn't the Prefects' fault for the curfew. They don't search our packages because they want to. It's their job, people. And it's incredibly immature to cause them bodily harm because you don't like the rules right now. Not only that, but it's contradictory. What if -- Merlin forbid! -- the faculty decided to punish us even more after this? To whoever is responsible for yesterday's packages, think about someone other than just yourself!

Warded Against Professors

In other news, if you see Madame Marchand around today, say something nice to her. I think she may be feeling discouraged lately.

	Thanks for saying this Minny. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You're welcome. Anything that sends my friends to the Infirmary is not okay. I do hope they find the ~~arse~~ person responsible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm glad to hear you're on our side. We seem to be pegged for the bad guys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 09:39 am UTC (link)
	It's absolutely ridiculous to blame any of you for this! Prefects decided none of the punishment and are suffering it the same as the rest of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theycallmeal 2012-02-07 09:50 am UTC (link)
	It happens. People get angry and they want someone to blame. It's something that comes with the job really, although the package was hardly necessary... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 09:54 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, but it's no excuse to me. Our fellow students should know better by now. And being a Prefect is far from easy as far as I can tell. You lot don't deserve such disrespect in the slightest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's usually not this bad, things have just become tense lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 09:58 am UTC (link)
	Yes, that's true. It just really bothers me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theycallmeal 2012-02-07 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad you care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Of course, I care. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gerardrowle 2012-02-07 09:32 am UTC (link)
	Discouraged or overworked? There seems to be more people in the library now that term's picking up. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 09:35 am UTC (link)
	Discouraged. I found some letters she wrote to Professor Cronk crumbled up in the trash... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gerardrowle 2012-02-07 09:40 am UTC (link)
	~~Why were you shuffling through the rubbish?~~ Interesting. The letters implied that something bad's happened then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 09:45 am UTC (link)
	Well, it was next to the trash, actually. They make it rather clear she fancies Professor Cronk quite a bit. But the fact that it's undelivered implies she feels she may be rejected, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gerardrowle 2012-02-07 09:48 am UTC (link)
	Or she's lacking confidence. ~~I don't think those letters were meant to be read either way~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 09:50 am UTC (link)
	Yes, that too. Oh, it's so sad. I wish there was some way to help her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gerardrowle 2012-02-07 09:56 am UTC (link)
	Do as you say, I suppose? Say something nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 10:00 am UTC (link)
	Yes, but that will only do so much. Perhaps some subtle hints to both of them would help go a bit further... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gerardrowle 2012-02-07 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tammeh 2012-02-07 10:13 am UTC (link)
	Most of us really like prefects, Minny! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	That's good to know! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	animalise 2012-02-07 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	How lovely of you to be gossiping about the love lives of others. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't mean for it to be gossip! I just thought maybe people would want to try and help cheer her up is all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	animalise 2012-02-07 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	There was no need to mention it at all; you could have just kept it to yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	But some people would want to help! Haven't you noticed how gloomy she seems lately? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	animalise 2012-02-07 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	I have no opinion on it. I don't regularly meddle in the business of others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	~~Neither do I~~ Surely, you have eyes, though. It's been rather obvious. And it's a bit cold hearted not to care if someone else is hurting, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	animalise 2012-02-07 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	You’re meddling. It isn’t my business at all. I’m not going to go and possibly make her feel awkward by inquiring into her personal life, especially if she doesn’t want to talk about it. If she wants help, or to talk about her feelings, ~~or whatever it is people do~~ then she’ll ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondebadger 2012-02-07 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have to inquire about it. You could just be nice. Or subtle. (Reply to this) (Parent)

You have a very good point, Minny.

Private to Minny

You might want to ward when you talk about the exact situation about teachers, next time, though.

Her feelings might be hurt if she sees that students know about her crush.

Not a big deal! But everyone deserves privacy!

	Oh, Merlin! I completely forgot to ward it from Professors! They never appear, I sometimes forget they can even see what we write. Thank you for the reminder, Quinn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's very easy to forget. No harm, no foul. Not a problem, love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Quinn...you don't think I'm being gossipy, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Minny heythereimq 2012-02-07 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	All you wanted to do was try to cheer her up. Your intentions were noble. Don't pay Calliope any mind. (Reply to this) (Parent)
