Enjoy the break, everyone. I will be waiting to remind you of all the rules when you return.

[Warded to Leo]

How was your trip home? Are you enjoying seeing your family? I miss It is strange not seeing you every day.

[Warded to Ravi & Sun-mi]
Please, mark your calendars.

I need your help.

I don't know what to get Leo for Christmas. I am afraid if I get something too nice, it will scare him. If it is not nice enough, he will think my interest is fading. Which it is not. Things have happened that make it more serious, but it is only a month long relationship, at best.

FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: Has staying for these past 24 hours inspired you to institute any new Ramirez Rules? If yes, please elaborate:

What else am I supposed to do around here for fun? And besides, Ramirez loves his rules. Asking him for a comprehensive rundown of his most recent conclusions is probably on par with giving him a truly great Christmas present.

The reduced number of prefects and staff does not excuse students from behaving appropriately. All rules that apply during normal school operation apply now. In fact, this calls for higher vigilance. New considerations are:
  • If you see one of your peers doing something dangerous to themselves or others, it is more important than ever that you report the behavior. Do not make tired jokes at me about ratting on your friends, you all know exactly what I mean.
  • If you are residing alone in a cabin, do not touch your roommates' belongings without their permission. Chris, do not threaten to mess with my things next time I am gone, because currently your bed is at my mercy.
  • Which leads into: no sleepovers. You may not invite other students to use your roommates' beds. Curfew is still enforced.
  • Remaining prefects are asked to volunteer extra time on rounds in order to cover as much ground as possible. Rounds must still be done in pairs for safety reasons.
  • If you need access to a classroom that is locked due to the teacher being gone, you must speak to Ms. Rhee or Mr. Hightower for access. Be prepared to explain your reason.
Both the Head Girl and Head Boy have returned home. I am, in fact, the only remaining senior prefect. Any concerns or requests for exceptions must be brought to me or a member of staff if you hate me and want to go over my head. Otherwise, you are all trapped in here with me.

Merry Christmas, Quinn.

Ahhhhhhh, now it feels like Christmas! The "no sleepovers" clause kind of sucks, though. Not even at Christmas?

Happy holidays, Ramirez. :)

Um... Perhaps this is me revealing that I'm the only virgin here, but... how much does sex change things exactly? (Yes, Sun-mi, that happened between Rafael and Leo. Sorry I didn't tell you until now.) It's a fully serious question. Are there [...] certain expectations now? What's considered appropriate or inappropriate?

Anyway, I somehow doubt that Leo is going to read that much into whatever you get him. He seems [...] practical. And difficult to scare off.

Ah, Ravi, you are failing in your gossiping duties. (Kidding, kidding! Part of my Christmas gift to Rafa this year will be to resist teasing about this and just say that I am very happy things are going so well for you two. I am very fond of Leo.)

As for gifts... I know when you are saying "nice" you mean very expensive. Maybe you should be thinking less about this and focus instead on something that will make him smile at the thought behind it? Some joke between you two? (Perhaps a very expensive bag of turtle food? Kidding again! Just please do not buy him a beater's bat. This is not romantic at all.)

Ah, thank you. I don't mind you knowing, but it is strange to talk about. I don't kiss and tell, as they say.

So... you are saying no Quidditch supplies. That is not romantic. Hmmmm. You have just ruined half of my ideas, but that is a good thing.

No Quidditch supplies. That is something his parents should buy him.. not his very handsome and charming boyfriend.

I am not so experienced at this as Ravi may think, but it is more intimate now. Leo is very fond of you for you, not the things that your money can buy. Any gift should be an expression of your affection for him, yes?

I will remember you said this when it is your turn.

Are you very disappointed, Rafa? I am more than happy to mercilessly tease about this if you would prefer.

Well, it [...] changes things for me. He is only the second person I have ever done that with. I don't think there are any new expectations, it is only that it feels more intimate now. It is hard to explain. But this is only me. Other people are very casual with this, and that isn't bad.

Yes. That is true. But he will not be impressed by me throwing my parents' money around.

I think I understand. You want to find something that reflects how your regard has grown, even though it is technically "only" a month-long relationship.

You don't have to impress him, Rafael. He's already impressed by you. You might consider instead giving a nod to a moment you've shared, or something you have in common? You both enjoy... competition? Hm. I suppose a score card isn't very romantic.

Ah, Ravi, how is it that when you say things that I am saying it sounds like such a better idea?

Do not forget a fondness for rules and whenever Leo says the words "Huh", "Interesting", and "Maybe". I am not sure how this translates to gifts.

I could make it romantic if I were determined. But yes, I will find something that is less of a stretch.

[...] Am I getting too attached too soon?

Hey. The trip was okay. I never mind that bus much. And yeah, it's great seeing my family. I'll probably be twenty pounds heavier by the next time I see you via my grandmother. Hope that's fine?

Wish you It's very strange. I'm not sure I like it, either. How are you? How's empty Gooseberry?

Perfectly fine. Assuming you model your new physique for me, of course. I will want to see it myself.

Regrettably exciting. There was a fight I had to break up. Aside from that, it is very quiet. There is a lot of time to work. I am already impatient to see you at the party, though.

I can probably face that shame.

[...]Wait. Is everyone okay? You didn't get hurt? I mean I'm obviously mostly disappointed I didn't get to see you save lives, but.
(Also. The party's in six days. Not that anyone's counting.)

I am fine. It's under control. [...] It did involve your Quidditch team, though. I should not say more, Ms. Rhee will talk to you when you return. Just know things are under control now. I hope this information will not worry you, but I want to let you prepare.

Six days is nothing... although the last two have felt long.
