First Petal

[drivensnow]

It has come to the Ministry's, and therefore my, attention that Hogwarts is in need of some... Assistance. Given the Headmaster's unfortunate inability to keep things under control at camp and even now under his very own roof, the Ministry has seen fit to appoint me High Inquisitor.

I can assure you that this is a very good thing, despite what you may be thinking and on behalf of the Ministry I would like to formally apologize for the events at camp. It is unfortunate that his carelessness would result in such an unfortunate occurrence. I can assure you that while I'm here, none of you will get so out of control.

You may have heard that it was dark magic responsible, but I can promise you that this was a lie made up only to justify a few rowdy teenagers. This will not be tolerated while I'm here, believe me. Everyone's safety is of my utmost concern, and it's up to me to prune the thorny hedges and keep everything nice and orderly.

With that said, I do not tolerate disobedience of any kind, and if I catch any kind of behaviour like what was displayed at camp, the consequences will be severe. This is the only warning I am going to give anyone. I fully expect to get along with every student here, however, so do not let my faith go unrewarded.

Finally, along with my position as High Inquisitor, I have also been appointed Herbology Professor. But considering the importance of the position, it would be best for you to refer to me as Inquisitor Snow rather than Professor.

That hardly seems consequential at all coming from a tyrant.

Et tu, Brute.

_{[He's not sure if he used that in the wrong context, but the point is clear enough. Hopefully.]}

[drivensnow]

It's unfortunate that you think me a tyrant when I'm here to keep things peaceful. You were injured at camp, were you not? And you sit here defending those that hurt you and disrespecting me while I'm trying to help. Very poor behaviour.

[givesyouaboner]

They weren't themselves so they needn't be held accountable for it. It's not being disrespectful when you're just being so blatantly stupid.

The more you fight it, the more ammunition you give him, Strider. He's from the ministry, we they don't take kindly to conflicting opinions.

I would strongly advise stopping while you're ahead.

[Filtered]

[givesyouaboner]

But he doesn't know what he's talking about! How can we just let him sit there and say these horrible things when that's not how it happened?

Re: [Filtered]

[wwistful]

You think I don't take offense to the fact that he thinks I'm lying?
Let the older people handle it, Strider. We have less to lose by it. He could go so far as to expell you or he could bring your family into question.
Trust me, it's easier to stay quiet sometimes.

[givesyouaboner]

Then what are you going to do, in all honesty? Nothing. No one is going to do anything and this is bullshit and not fair.
Why is he even being allowed a position when the basis for it is a complete lie?
It's too hard to stay quiet, especially knowing who this could affect. Like. Okay I would hate for something to happen to Dave and Uncle Dirk but this isn't fair at all to people like Tavros and Vriska.

[Filtered]

[wwistful]

Of course it isn't fair. The ministry doesn't make actions based on logic or fairness, it's all a power balance. Not to seem dismissive, but even talking about it here is risky.

If you would like to discuss it in person, my office is open and probably will be for some time.

FILTERED AS HELL

<sub>[The only written response Dave receives is a bunch of rage-induced squiggly lines. But Dirk goes upstairs as directed, huffing the entire time.]

What.</sub>

[Dave goes over to Dirk and pulls him into a tight hug.]

You're an idiot.

[drivensnow]

I hoped it would not come to this.

Detention. You can help Miss Serket plow the land outside of the greenhouses.

[givesyouaboner]

Whatever.

_{[He cares that he has detention. But he's too angry at the moment.]}

GROAN. groan. g r o a n. DIRK HE LOVES YOU SO FUCKING MUCH

[clockspinner]

cmon man hes a first year
dont fault him for his terribly uncreative vocabulary

i mean its not like he has the life experience to be able to call you out as a long-tittied no-nipple-having donkeyfucking bitchass little puppet and liar with a face that looks like its made from an elephants ballsack and an impotent microscopic prick

[thegluethatbinds]

Mr Strider, see me in my office first thing tomorrow morning.

[clockspinner]

at least they aint conflicting appointments
sure thing

[drivensnow]

I think I would like to see you in my office right now, Mister Strider.

[Filtered]

[thegluethatbinds]

Sir, I can deal with Mr Strider for you. I've already requested his presence at my office tomorrow. I don't tolerate rude language from students to their teachers.

[Filtered]

[drivensnow]

No, that's perfectly alright. He was talking to me, it is my job to handle it.

>Action

[clockspinner]

[Guess who's acting like he stone cold does not give a fuck.]

You rang, Fuhrer?

Action

[drivensnow]

[The door opens magically and when it does, he ignores Dave's statement. He'll get to the matter of punishing him for that soon enough.]

Come in and make yourself comfortable, Mister Strider.

[accioleggings]

Ten points from Gryffindor for disrespect, Mr. Strider.

[filtered]

FIFTEEN POINTS FOR STANDING UP FOR YOUR COUSIN, EVEN IF IT WAS A LITTLE OVERBOARD.
