All right, art club members, we're going to have our first meeting this Friday! We'll be outside, weather permitting, by the lake! Bring whatever you want to make art with! It should be a ton of fun, and we're still open to new members!

And on a prefect note, while you all should have been already, I hope you'll be on your best behaviour with Inquisitor Snow here! Thank to the Headmaster, I'm working on a project that should help keep folks out of future detentions if they do get in trouble. But you'll hear more about that later!

Oh, also, I'm always looking for things to work on in my spare time! If anyone has some sort of craft they'd like me to make them, feel free to ask! I'll get some more supplies in Hogsmeade come October if I need to.

Are you sure about that? Because I don't think I trust him. If the Ministry's blaming Dumbledore for what happened at camp, why is this "High Inquisitor" guy saying that it was just "a few rowdy teenagers"? [pause] What happened at camp anyway? I wasn't there.

[pause]

As a matter of fact, I did. I believe I might have a proposition for you. [flourish]

I don't think they're saying what happened at camp was his fault, I think they're saying Dumbledore should have stopped it. But I'm sure he would have if he could. Like I said, I don't entirely agree with Inquisitor Snow, but I don't think he's here to cause trouble.

I'm not sure. I couldn't go. I think that's when Vriska lost her eye, though.

Oh? What would that be?

That's how Serket lost her eye?

Alright, maybe running an investigation is kind of justified.
But how could Dumbledore have stopped it? Was he even there? And if she lost her eye at camp, what's the inquisitor doing here?

[pause]

Well Rapunzel, I am so glad you asked.
Sign my petition and I'll co-lead your support group.

I'm pretty sure. And I don't think Dumbledore could have! I'm telling you, I don't agree with what the Inquisitor is saying about him. I just don't think he means harm.

You're kidding, right?

Well, all I'm saying is that no good can come of having a Ministry appointed official at Hogwarts.

Why would I be kidding? This is a very serious issue, Rapunzel.

It's only no good if you're doing something wrong.

And you'll help out with the group, then?

[bonafide_divinity]

But [inkblot] in that case we should have absolutely nothing to worry about.

And of course I'll help. I'm a man of my word.

Does that mean you'll sign?

Just try to stay out of trouble, can't you? I mean, it's not a problem, but

Nevermind.

Sure, put my name on there, then.

[bonafide_divinity]

But what? Don't you think I can stay out of trouble?

And thank-you for your support, Rapunzel! You won't regret it.

I just don't like the idea of you getting too much trouble.

Oh, you're welcome.

[Filtered]

[bonafide_divinity]

Just out of general curiosity, how much is too much?

[Filtered]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It would just stink if you got expelled or something.

[bonafide_divinity]

[inkblot]

What makes you think I'm going to get expelled?

[Filtered]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I don't. I just don't want you to.

[Filtered]

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, thank-you for your concern. I think.



What am I supposed to do as a support group co-leader anyway?

[Filtered]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

You're welcome.

The idea is that people can relate to you, and you can relate to them. They'll trust you.
