I mean I get it. It's dumb. We're in the middle of nowhere. We have nothing to do a lot of the time and we're expected to not fuck up the same way we would at home. This is the third time I've broken my leg. And the other two times weren't here. And every time my mom gives me a lecture about how I only get one body so I need to quit fucking it up. But magic makes you feel like there's an easy solution for everything and we're dumb enough that even if we didn't have magic, we'd still sled down a dangerous hill.
So it's stupid to lecture us while we still have grotto parties and the polar bear plunge and quidditch. But we need some of our classmates to be the responsible assholes who hold us back from going too far and actually fucking ourselves up beyond the crutch of magic. And it's not fun for them, but we need them. Which is why nobody invited them to the sledding.
But if you want an actual guide to every prefect here I can write you a guide.
