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?~~

	Good question! I never asked at Ilvermorny, I thought it might be rude to ask how someone died. It's all really weird! And it's weird that the staff have to know, right? But they say it's nothing. Wow, that sounds terrifying!! No wonder you still wanted a buddy! I would have wanted to go home!! You're really brave, Pippa! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, I never asked the ghosts directly! But their stories were in Hogwarts, A History.

They must know! They're teachers, they know practically everything. Which means they're keeping secrets for a reason. Maybe to protect us, or stop us from being scared of what's out there?

It was so scary. ~~I did want to go home~~ I'm really sorry I didn't tell you about this before! I was scared no one would believe me, and I didn't know how to even begin to talk about it. Thank you for being my buddy!!

	Oh. I don't know if Ivermorny has a book like that, but it sounds helpful! Maybe it is to protect us! It said on the anonymous post that coming close to them made people sad, but I'm sure they don't mean for that to happen? It's okay! I didn't tell anyone about the ghost hand either because I didn't think they'd believe me. And of course you're welcome! :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's so long, it took me a month to read the whole thing. But it was really interesting! I don't think they mean to make us sad either! Not that I felt sad when I saw the boy by the lake, but maybe I was too ~~scared~~ shocked to feel anything else. Well, I believe you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I guess Hogwarts IS older than Ilvermorny, so it would have a long history. Do you think he's sad too? I'd be sad if I accidentally chased everyone away. ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was impressed they managed to fit it all in one book! But the writing was very small. Well, I don't think he's happy. It seems to me like being ~~dead?~~ ~~a ghost?~~ alone would make anyone sad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds like such a sad way to ~~live~~ exist. :( I feel really bad for him now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. I wish there was something I could do to help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
