Polar bear plunge was a mass suicide attempt by us. All of this is. I joined quidditch to break bones. But the staff picks and chooses what they're willing to let us do and we keep doing dumb dangerous shit in between staff sanctioned events. I know it makes no sense but all of us that participated knew it was dangerous and half us did it drunk. And most of us did it because we knew it was dangerous.
But the prefects are gonna talk about shit like this like it's our attempted suicide because the responsibility of keeping us alive falls on them. All we get are letters home and detention. And we're gonna keep making it hard for them to keep us alive.
