Jeremiah Smith was never an amphibian

( Jeremiah Smith )

This is an OOCly drop box for anything you would like to bring to the Head Boy's attention, be it things that went on over the journals or incidents that occured off-page (le gasp! someone has flooded the Gryffindor common room!) or prefect-type matters that your character may want to bring up at the next meeting. All comments will be screened! ♥

(a) I will miss this school come summer.
(b) I will not miss this school come summer.

Discuss.

[Prefects + Rosalind]

I'd ask if there's any unusual behaviour to report, but I think we all know the answer to that.

I need a t-shirt saying, "This was not my idea."

[Maggie]

I've been a bit negligent towards our - no, I refuse to say "our" the baby. Do you want me to take him tonight?

[Written in response to this entry.]

She has completely and utterly taken leave of her senses. She is off the clock. She is significantly more than a few Knuts short of a Sickle.

Granted, Vladimir the gyrating and perenially fornicating twit would have likely been a much worse choice, but this Russian peasant fellow who runs bare-chested in what would be considered the bloody winter for anyone possessing the smallest degree of sanity and whom she cannot even communicate with properly? I thought that Rosalind was supposed to be an intelligent woman and value someone whom she could maintain a proper conversation with, and now I learn that this is what she envisions for herself? Talk about believing that you know a person and then they utterly undermine your good opinion of them! All year I have supported her as both Head Boy and a friend - I have given her my time - and this is how


I bet he ran with his shirt off hoping to lure her
Just because I do not flaunt myself in such a declasse manner does not mean that I do not also have


[Russian Scarlet Man]
[MISTER Ivanov]

I see your game
You keep your hands off
DO NOT take advantage of her clearly addled mental state

If I'm to threaten write him a civilised letter explaining the intricacies of this situation, I will have to find someone to translate. Bother and bedamn him! He is very good indeed...

It seems that people are acting comparatively strange for this time of the year. If you are concerned about anyone, please ward a comment below to myself and Miss Rosier giving specifics of their behaviour. As always, we are here to help.

I'm beginning to suspect that Flux has decided a sanitarium would be a more lucrative institution, and is working on us to acquire some of his first clients. Thoughts?

[(later after this) Rosalind, Salem Prefects, Captain and Manager]

I'm warding to you four since you're the senior members of your team, but Mister Riley Bexton made comments in his entry (which to be fair, he has since warded) that I felt gave me no alternative but to give him a detention. I'm possibly not aware of all the incidents which led to it but as he is not answering for himself, do are there any outstanding circumstances I should be aware of? That is, without of course giving me the details, either academic or personal problems that are not known of? I'm afraid that I don't understand the need for his remarks, but I'd like to be as fair as possible when I report this to your headmistress.

[end ward]

As Head Boy, I really shouldn't be recommending this. But I almost wonder if it's time for note passing to come back into vogue. Or letter writing. Apparently it's something of a lost art these days.

More seriously now. In my experience, when people are angry, hurt or upset, they may often say something in the heat of the moment that wouldn't occur to them ten minutes later, or if the object of their anger were standing in front of them. And that much of what you have read over the journals today was not intended for the general public to read. Or - if it was pertaining to you - might have been worded and conveyed in a very different manner if the person had been addressing you directly. This may be something to bear in mind until the network settings are sorted out.

Please try to treat any "private" entries in the spirit they were written, and look the other way if you can. Please show respect and toleration towards the differences of others. I'm very far from amused by the instances in which people have exploited this situation as a chance to ridicule others. I hope that these network quirks will shortly be resolved, but until then I will treat any such instances in accordance the school's general guidelines against bullying, and I will deal with them as such.

[School Captains + Rosalind Rosier]

While I personally have no problem with the consumption of alcohol in moderation (unless it's shared with the younger years, and I trust your players to have the good judgement not to do that), for students to do so whilst at Hogwarts is against the school rules, and if myself or another prefect comes across a student in possession of alcohol, or consuming it, or mentioning consumption of it on school grounds, we are obliged to report it. Once an infringement is brought to the player's headmaster or headmistress, all disciplinary actions are out of my and Miss Rosier's hands.

For myself as a player for my house team, it has been enjoyable to watch the tournament, and it would be a shame if a player were to be banned for something so relatively minor, when after all most players are legally able to consume alcohol. I will leave it in your hands about whether you feel the need to discuss this issue with your team, and advise them to be more discrete in the future.

Please don't hesitate to contact either myself or Miss Rosier if you have any further questions or concerns.

[end ward]

[Prefects + HG]

I hope you all found the first session bearable. If you have any concerns or grievances, please approach either Rosalind or myself.

[end ward]

I'm beginning to think that Hogwarts' next addition to the curriculum should be classes on how to make puns, jokes, or quips about my latest responsibility that are actually witty. Or perhaps a support group for those who were not made inductees of this Handsome Men's Club? The arrival of this institution seems particularly well-timed to the other class that is not Apparation lessons. Are the inductees hoping to profit from this arrangement? I've seen Charles of the human variety looking rather surly lately. I'm more disappointed about the exclusion of Charles the Cat, however. I know that only human males are refered to as "men" once they have reached a certain level of maturity which may or may not be applicable to the members of this club, but I believe Charles would be a shoe-in for a feline group of this nature.

[Scorpius]

I do hope you're feeling better today, and got some sleep in the end. When you're up to it, I'd like to discuss the incident with the mistletoe.
