That was one of the more entertaining prefects' meetings so far this year. I suppose it's bound to happen when the term's just started and there's not much for us to do.
Just a few things for you lot in Ravenclaw to remember:
1. This is a school, not a duelling camp. Usual rules about magic in the corridors apply. If you're practising in the common room, please be sure not to hit any bystanders. Er. By-sitters. You know what I mean.
2. Please remember that curfew is still 9:00.
3. The bathrooms are common space. Clear up your personal items when you're done. I shan't call anyone out but you know who you are. Lucky you don't get your shampoo transfigured into marmalade or something (and please don't take that as a suggestion, any of you!!).
4. Remember that try-outs for the play are this Friday. Everyone's welcome. YPL meetings and such will resume shortly and look for the announcements on the bulletin boards in the common room.
5. The Prefects have already noted slightly higher incidents of homesickness compared to previous terms. We've got chocolate and we're making sure all the common room fires are being kept toasty, which should help dispel the effects of the Azkaban guards. If you're feeling particularly down, come see us or the matron. We're also giving some practical lessons on the Patronus charm - next week, I think (isn't it, Weasley?). Well, there will be a notice when we've booked it.
Oh, and Pennifold, I'm nearly done with the article if you want to read it next. I guess you'll have to go a little more careful now you've got an heiress to look after and all!
