I'm not trying to question authority or anything, but I don't really understand what all the fuss is about the sledding. I mean, maybe I just don't understand something because I'm muggleborn, but quidditch seems just as dangerous? I mean, you're way up high on brooms jostling each other, and there are two iron balls enchanted to attack you and try to knock you off your broom. People get hurt plenty at that, right? And there were broken bones and concussions from hockey the other day, too.

And I get that there was underage drinking, and people were hurt and there was no healer on hand, but if people do this every year anyway, why don't they just turn it into a school sanctioned event? Staff being there would keep people from drinking, and Mufferaw could be there to fix any injuries.

~~Or is it just that we're only allowed to endanger ourselves for sports? You're allowed to get a concussion as long as it's something you can win at?~~

Ah. [...] It is best to assume all rules are real rules that will be enforced. But [...] I do understand how the message can become blurry given that some prefects are far less dedicated to upholding the rules than others. ~~You should just always listen to Ravi. He is much better at this than me.~~ Which is not very fair to the other prefects or to their classmates.

I think this year has been especially chaotic, though lectures from sledding are not new. ~~Ravi was very disappointed with me last year.~~

	~~So then people can tease you for being a stick in the mud? So you can miss out on fun things that no one even gets in trouble for because they broke a "rule" but not a Rule?~~ Okay. ~~I don't even want to~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)
