Who: Hogwarts Professors When: Friday July 29/11am Where: Hogwarts/Professor's Lounge What: The professors need to have a meeting to discuss Hogwarts security Rating/Status: Low/Closed
*OCC note: I'm going to make this and IC/OCC thread. Because, well there's enough of us and after tonight I'll be a little sparse for the weekend. My bday is Tuesday and I am choosing to celebrate this weekend^^ <3
After everyone arrives, Minerva calls the meeting to order as there is much they need to discuss. First of being the recent events at the Ministry and what they mean to Hogwarts. She points out that it is going to be necessary to make sure all incoming/outgoing mail is monitored carefully. Part of these process also includes new new protections wards and such on the owlery to make sure nothing "explosive" is coming in or going out. She is not as naive to to think that DE are not recruiting or have been recruiting of age students over the summer. She asks professors to be vigilant and take note of any student suspected of even thinking about using Hogwarts as a recruiting ground.
That leads her to giving all professors a refresher on all the protection wards and such already in use on the school (anti-apparation, ect). She also mentions that they will be putting new wards in place to help protect the school from any ill-intentions of the DE or anyone seeking to harm the students. She also asks the professors to make sure when they do their rounds at night to make sure that the secret passages are closed off and not being used. Also, she is taking suggestions on new wards/protections to use against the school.
Hogsmeade trips are also a big concern of hers as it is an environment they have no control of. While she does not see the need to suspend the trips yet, and well that's Dumbledore's decision ultimately, she does think professors chaperoning the trips need to be aware of all the variables. She does not want any "secret" meetings being set up while students are there. They will need to be careful to monitor public places and even thinks it might be a smart choice to increase the number of chaperons. Thoughts?
Then she asks for anyone else's concerns, thoughts, and such to end the meeting.
