Gooseberry High

[Warded to Maggie]

After the conversations with the Prefects last night, I'm concerned that I've been taking some of what's been going on too lightly and that more people feel like Ravi does might be uncomfortable with how lenient the enforcement of the rules has been this year. Azurcrest has always had more lenient Prefects, so none of this is new to me, but I don't want to overlook the needs of the other houses just because I'm less familiar with them. And maybe we should be stricter about what happens at the camps.

What do you think? I'm not sure I can be objective about this. I know my housemates are at the center of a lot of this, so I would appreciate your input.

Do you think it would be worth having some kind of blind poll, so we can get everyone's honest opinions and have a starting point for more discussion and build any new policies that need to be instated out of that?

[Warded to Prefects]
I am not sure if I should warn everybody of this or not, because I don't want to do gossip, but I also do not want anything happening because I didn't say something so I need advice please.

I don't think anybody should go down to the Grotto alone. Something strange happened to Professor Elmasry, Levi and I the other night in the woods there and it was not nice and I would not have liked to been alone.

But I do not want to be gossiping or making anyone worry and Professor has not said anything so maybe I shouldn't either?

[Diego & Cecil]

HEY, DIEGO. Do you want to go on a spooky adventure in the woods with me and Cecil around 7pm this Saturday? We're gonna try to find the White Moose.

Oh, and there might be a Depression Demon in the woods. Results TBD.

I do love how festive Americans get for Halloween, you lot certainly surpass Hogwarts' attempts at decor and the feel of the season, I will say that. October certainly is my favourite time of year, all of my favourite scarves and jewelry fit in so well with everything in October. I especially hope we do pumpkin carving, and from pictures I have seen, Americans are quite artistic when it comes to pumpkin carving. Did you know that traditionally during this time of year, turnips were carved out and made into lanterns? I suppose that takes much more precise knife work, though.

Though Americans don't really have a version of Bonfire Night, and that is a shame, but Halloween is loads better than Bonfire Night, I'd say.

My dad just owled me about Christmas and is stressing about it being late. Ladies and gentlemen, the senior MACUSA representative for the great state of Pennsylvania. Two months in advance is not good enough for him.

Tabitha's favourite people (Individuals named here, Cressida, any other names we decide to add)

What he said was that he and Mom are out of the house between Christmas and New Year's, because they're going to my grandma's in Wisconsin. I believe his exact words were "you're smart enough to not let things get too out of hand, or at least, to be able to hide it from your mother".

Yep, folks, time to plan a mid-holiday break party! I'm just listing you guys in the ward now but we can add people for sure.

Oh, and those of you who don't celebrate or who aren't with family this year are totally welcome to come for Christmas too. Or New Year's, whatever you want. We've got the room!

( Aftermath of the Sudden Sad )

Huge box of pastries sitting on my bed as we speak. Well done, Grandma Tremblay.

Cecil, Magdalen

I'd like to speak to you both, if I may.
