Look. I know you were involved in the recent debacle. But you went to Professor Dolohov, even if it was after it all went bad. I know you've had several lectures at this point. At the danger of taking the sting out of those well deserved reprimands, has anyone told you what was discovered in your notes? Five of the others in your idiotic little club had hidden curse damage not fully reversed. One of them basically owes you and your notes their life, others would have been in and out of St Mungos for the rest of their lives if the lingering effects had not been dealt with right NOW.

All of this is to say that as a prefect you must not take the abuse from other former members that I saw you taking today. You're a prefect. Behave like it. Your job is to enforce the rules or if you can't bring it to Melinda and my attention or an appropriate professor. While the prefects involved are not losing their positions (if there are no further infractions), I will be giving them only the absolute most basic assignments and as few of those as possible. However, for the remainder of the year rather than rotating prefect meeting secretary duties we will put your love of comprehensive notes to a good use and you will be our secretary. Consider it a reward for coming clean and a punishment for being involved in the first place.

I didn't necessarily mean for you to talk to Professor Siz, just that she was helpful for me and that finding a professor mentor can be very helpful.

If anything comes up come talk to me and Melinda.

Time-Turners sound great, but from what I've read about real ones they just cause chaos and exhaustion.

A professor mentor would truly be a great resource. Were I so fortunate as to gain such a thing, I would do my best to live up to such a great gift.

Teaching is actually a noble calling. I hadn't... well, I have recently come to the realisation that I have been remiss in not sufficiently valuing the lessons and overarching guidance that the entire staff strives to impart to us. Sometimes against our strenuous efforts.
