I know I've said this before

[alt_percy]

and it is quite late, but PLEASE do not spread rumours about the school's Professors or distinguished members of the school's Board of Governors.

Perhaps some of you may not realise that our proximity to Dementors may have a pernicious effect on some susceptible people's judgement. But if you stop and think for a moment I'm sure you will realise what your Prefects have been trying to make clear all day:

NO ONE has died

NO ONE is under arrest

NO ONE has been sacked

The school, as always, is running like clockwork

The students can confidently depend upon their Professors and Prefects to maintain order, as Our Lord Protector expects.

For. Merlin's. Sake.

Go to bed, everyone.

Private message to Percy Weasley

[alt_bill]

Sympathies, bro.

It's times like these that I don't miss being Head Boy one little bit.

Anything I can do?

Oh, ha ha, very funny.

Any advice?

Re: Private message to Percy Weasley

Mmm. It would be helpful if the Headmistress would make a post, even if it's not to address the rumours but just to some innocuous announcement, so that people can see that all is well.

You haven't seen her today?

Re: Private message to Percy Weasley

No, I haven't. And I can't snap my fingers and make her appear at my discretion.

It would be helpful. She's usually at breakfast--although she wasn't this morning. I hope she'll be there tomorrow. Maybe she'll make an announcement or something. She does that occasionally, about school business. You're right; that would calm a lot of the fears, I think.
