The First Rule of Fight Club

so hey whats everyone doing on saturday night aside from all those lucky folks who have dates in hogsmeade although really im kind of talking post dinner night time and im pretty sure were supposed to be in by then but still

saturday night right

its pretty all right for fighting dont you think (thats a reference to a muggle song by elton john so all you purebloods know)

speaking of fighting im pretty fond of fencing myself but were not allowed to have weapons at school so i cant really do that can i but thats fine i do love a good old fashioned no shirts bare fisted brawl too its really invigorating you know

but fighting isnt really allowed at hogwarts being a school and all but i think there are some people who could really use it you know let off some steam

its too bad theres not really a place we could do that

like an empty duelling classroom

;) ;) ;)

I mean, for this Saturday's thing. Has he given you permission, specifically, for this club meet that you're having on this date at this time, as well as assurance that he's going to be there? I'd say you'd definitely need a teacher around for this.

So long as you've got someone the professors are OK with playing chaperone.

You could also do a better job of writing this announcement for this Fight Club of yours. I think you've raised a lot of eyebrows with this post here, it looks like you've got something you're trying to hide.








You don't, right?

Someone's got to do the worrying. Might as well be me.








What, the club? Or the movie? Cause I've definitely seen the movie before.

If he hadn't known before, he'd certainly know now. You might as well have printed it out for him in sparkle text the way Captor did the other day.

West did that? Fancy that, I never thought he was capable of anything except being an arrogant prick.

Anyway, try not to post something like this in future. It's just begging for the professors to clamp down on the club. You might have Professor Dumbledore's permission now, but clubs can be disbanded if students get too hurt and some teachers might not want to take that risk.

Maybe it was part of that craziness last week. Talking goats seem just as likely to happen as him being nice.

Well let's be honest here, you said so yourself up there. Fighting isn't allowed in Hogwarts, and for pretty damn good reasons too. Kids who think too much of themselves could get hurt real bad. Might have nightmares about it, aside from the cuts and bruises. Besides, the professors wouldn't want to deal with angry mums and dads asking why their kids got beat up in a club activity.

It's too soon after the Wizarding War for fights at school anyway. Not saying the fight club is wrong, but if there's no teacher around to check that students don't get out of hand, things could take a turn for the worse.

[Inkblots. Why Maxim, why.]

...right. Don't think he appreciated that much.

Well most people don't work that way. Parents don't like seeing their kids bruised up, magic or otherwise. There might be some kids dumb enough to think they can handle fights when they can't too. I hope you've got some screening process to catch them out. Wouldn't do your club much good PR if you got Howlers coming in complaining about it.

I sure damn hope so.

Parents complain anyway, whether it's Quidditch or boxing or a brawl. It doesn't matter how it happens. It took me awhile to convince my dad to let me play Quidditch and he only agreed in the end when I told him about the Healers, but he still wasn't very happy with the idea of me lying in the Healing Ward with a broken leg from a stray whack from a bat.

Right, and who made you the Sorting Hat? It takes more than the ability to last a scrap to get into Gryffindor. What happened to bravery and chivalry? Last I checked the dictionary, the word "fight", "punch", "kick" or any of that sort weren't included in their definitions.

I don't think I want to know why you were thinking of Professor Rhydderch as a girl. At least it's done and over with.

Maybe. But there's a big difference between what you think is a little pain and what others do. Muggleborns would find it even harder to understand. We don't have magic to take care of our broken bones over night and it can take up to a month, even more, before we can take our casts off.

Laying your life down for someone and getting into fights that can be avoided isn't the same. Besides, it doesn't make any of them less courageous if one knows how to take a hit and the other doesn't.

[Inkblots.]

Moving on.

Well we're not in Mechanisburg. We're in Hogwarts, Scotland, the United Kingdoms. Point being that we've got a lot of wizards here, including the Muggleborns, who don't have a culture of getting into scraps as a form of fun. Boxing has all sorts of rules on where we can and can't hit to make it safer, but it still gets side-eyed quite a bit for the potential for violence. Same thing with Quidditch too. Which is why I said that so long as you've got adult supervision that's fine and all because they can make sure things don't get too out of hand.

I'm saying that some people don't want to get hurt if they can help it. It doesn't make them any less of a Gryffindor.
