Rolf,

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. A lot of good can come out of rambling on, I've found. As long as you're not boring the person that you're rambling at.

Only if you were required to check their work over the weekend otherwise, I wouldn't. It was an evil assignment, you know it and they know it, so use that to your advantage. Let them get away with it this time, however, should any of them break the rules in a way unworthy of a Ravenclaw who has supposedly had the opportunity to study them all in depth... It's not so much a matter of coming down hard as beating them at their own game. You remember how Professor Flitwick always seemed to know what we were planning on doing before we did it, it's the same idea, and you've years more experience at being clever than the students, after all. It will be worst with the seventh years. They'll push. They're at that age where they will push regardless, but more so just because you're closer in age than they are with most of the rest of the staff.

The rest of the Quidditch team. Lewis has a knack for talking them into things and getting them all in trouble. A few of the younger years, perhaps, but Bailey and Lewis tend to be the ringleaders, and Chen, he was one of the fifth year prefects last year, has a tendency to sleep when he shouldn't. If you've Bailey as a student - what are you teaching? - he'll push and it's best to just assign him extra reading. A lot of it. That's Ravenclaw though and there are three other Houses of students. Just be glad that I've pulled my brother out as no doubt he'd be causing all sorts of trouble through the entire school, but do be careful of little Sheldon Liu (Gryffindor), he spent his first year learning the finer points of Dungbomb placement for maximum effect from my brother.
