Don't forget: your Prefects can be a resource

[alt_percy]

I would like to remind all students that your House Prefects are always available to answer questions. Sometimes these questions may include topics beyond the scope of matters such as friendships, homesickness or school assignments. There is no doubt that the years that we spend at Hogwarts include some rapid changes as we all mature into young men and young women. It sometimes can be helpful to speak to someone older and wiser who can confidentially and discreetly answer niggling questions that you may have been a bit too bashful to ask anyone up until now. Don't be shy! We are happy to help set young minds at rest.

The Prefects also have a selection of reference materials at their disposal on a wide variety of topics.

Private message to Madam Pomfrey

The suggestion was ... well, not enthusiatically received at the Prefects meeting, I will admit. But given the situation with Mr Sandoval and all his various partners this past week, it was perfect clear that something must be done. I do hope that this initiative will reach some of the quieter students who might be reluctant to seek you out. Not that the students don't trust you in a general way, mind! But some really do have a lively dread of having any adult--no matter how wise and discreet--know about what they consider their private business.

I wonder whether a few gender-separated meetings of the YPL might also address some of these issues? Perhaps you might raise the idea with Professor Sinistra?

[I did distribute the brochures to the Prefects. We do need more copies by the way of the one entitled "How Far Is Too Far? (Places No Tongue Should Go)."]

Private Message to Percy Weasley

You might tell any of those horrid 4th-years that I am NOT going to demonstrate page 6 of How Far is Too Far and the next one of them to ask will find himself in the hospital wing with his tongue in a knot!

No offence, Ron, but I'd rather chew off my left arm than talk to your brother about growing and changing and discreet things about being a girl.

Triple eww.

Not that the Slyth prefects would be much better, either.
