Third Petal

[drivensnow]

I must apologize for the delay in addressing the Halloween incident. You can rest easy knowing that I've been hard at work on the matter ever since it happened, contacting the Ministry and coming to the best course of action.

The Ministry and I believe that a powerful, dark magical object was brought into the school as a prank intended to make the ministry look like a fool for disregarding the incident at camp. The situation got out of hand, as you are all well aware of. As such, the Ministry has decided that in the next couple of weeks, security in the castle is going to be tightened considerably. Random trunk checks will be conducted and anyone leaving or entering the castle will be searched thoroughly, as will mail.

Finally, I will be questioning everyone personally. I will find out who did this, and I will make sure they are punished accordingly, expulsion being the minimum.

If you have any questions or information regarding the incident, you can ask here. If you have information, see me in my office immediately.

professor snow do you really think thats really necessary???

[drivensnow]

Yes, I do. Dark magic, when it's actually dark magic, is a very serious offense. Especially when students are involved.

[mabelangelo]

well i dont think it is
i mean i do! because if its dark magic but you said it yourself that it was probably just a prank!

but no one was hurt from it right?

i mean thats a lot of work! especially checking peoples trunks and the likes

[Wait no shell take that last part back she doesnt want to argue about it]

[arrogantalloy]

Do what you have to do and all. But we are going to be opening our own trunks for you right?

[drivensnow]

The fact that it was a prank doesn't make it any better; it makes it worse. Because someone is taking dark magic lightly enough to play around with it. It could have had disastrous results.

Not physically, but that doesn't justify it.

[drivensnow]

I won't be personally checking all of them, no. The ministry will send people to do that.

[mabelangelo]

i dont know, sir...

ahh ahh!! but it didnt! and ive seen a lot of pranks in my time that have gone terribly when they werent meant to even try harming someone!!

[drivensnow]

10 points from Gryffindor for defending trouble makers and not taking dark magic seriously. I'm also going to give you a day's detention, and you will be the first to come to my office for questioning.

[mabelangelo]

[OH...]

whaaaaat?? i never said i wasnt taking dark magic seriously!!

and why am i?? i had nothing to do with the entire thing!!

[drivensnow]

But you weren't.

And you're behaving suspiciously, so I have every right to believe that you were involved and are currently lying right now.

[mysterytwin]

Okay, Mabel, time out.

I apologize for my sister, sir, but there's no need to be suspicious of her. I was with her the whole time that evening and I know Mabel. She'd never do anything like dark magic.

[drivensnow]

This doesn't concern you. If you don't want to be punished as well, you will leave now.

[mabelangelo]

i was too sir!!

im not being suspicious and i wouldnt lie about this! i like sewing and making arts and crafts and things like that not dark magic!

[mabelangelo]

yeah!! what he said!!

geeze i dont understand how this even happened

[mysterytwin]

If you're intent on suspecting everyone then I'm afraid this does concern me. Mabel is my responsibility.

[drivensnow]

A week's detention and another 5 points for arguing.

[mysterytwin]

Mabel, drop the quill and step away from your journal. You're in enough trouble as it is.

[mabelangelo]

[.....Son of a gun.

Yep, she's bowing out for now.]

[drivensnow]

[Snow is growing tired of siblings and family members stepping in when one of them inevitably screws up. He's not letting them get away with it this time.]

Detention for a month, Mister Pines. I know you spend a lot of time in the library, as well. So from now on, you're only allowed to use it strictly for assignments. I will be monitoring everything you check out.

[mabelangelo]

[......oh..]

:(

i think you should do the same dipper

[mysterytwin]

No kidding.

Meet me in the courtyard?

[sugaredpotions]

Tell me it's a prank when you're seeing the ghost of your own dead sister, who died in the war, telling you that you'll never be good enough to do anything in this world. Or will the next words out of your mouth be that there never was a war, and that was all made up by the bloody Daily Prophet?

[drivensnow]

[Hey kids, this ain't private.

He's watching you.]

[mabelangelo]

you know it
emergency twin meeting!!

ill be out there soon!

[mysterytwin]

Wait what?
