{>Don't discount your dreams!<}
{>And don't worry about the mess.<}
{>It's perfectly healthy to want to explore all the aspects of attraction!<}
{>And who better than friends to experiment with?<}
{>Oh! And ten points to Hufflepuff for boldness and confronting your confused feelings!<}

Are you underminin' my authority?

Yes.
Yes I am.
Taking points for an honest mistake and adolescent confusion is low.
He'll put off learning about himself for fear of retribution.
I won't stand for it.

You needn't be so dramatic, Banks.
He's plastered inappropriate content in a place where more impressionable students can see it and he's passin' it off as a joke.
Perhaps if he hadn't lied I would be less strict.

You never made a mistake and then tried to cover it up?
Kids do that.
They need to learn to pick themselves up.
Not that there's no point in trying.

I might have, and I was probably punished accordingly for it too.
How else is he meant to learn?
You can't exist thinking you can get away with mistakes all the time.

No wonder you're so stuffy.
The fact that the friends he's developing an attraction to will see this is punishment plenty.
He will be very careful of his journal from now on I'm sure of it.
He doesn't need to be beaten down on top of all the embarrassment he's feeling right now.
Now if he could erase those words and put everyone who's already seen under a memory charm then he'd be getting away with it.

I'm not..
I don't care if I'm stuffy. I'm a professor at a school, not some dancer at a trendy nightclub.
Regardless, he lied about it. Perhaps if he had been forward, or more convinving for that matter, I would have left it.

Your students will connect to you better and learn more if you relax.
You have no understanding of children at all.
How long has it BEEN professor?
I'm wondering if you were ever a child at all right now.
And he panicked. Lying WAS poor form but most children would have done exactly the same in his position.
If it bothers you that much deduct those points again but if you don't make it excruciatingly clear that it's for the lying and the lying ONLY I'll just find a way to return them right back to him.

I'm not here to connect with them, I'm here to teach them.
None of that is any of your business and I might add that's rude of you to even be asking.
Why I deduct points is none of your business, but granting them out of spite is childish.

{>How do you expect them to learn if you don't connect at least a little?<}
{>Oh it was? Huh. New things everyday.<}
{>Not out of spite!<}
{>I would have granted a point or two anyway before I knew it was a mistake!<}
{>I just gave more to compensate for the ones you took.<}

You stick to your teaching methods and I will stick to mine. Don't act surprised when they take advantage of your kindness.
Compensating them is the issue I have here. There's no factor of this journal that needs to be rewarded.

wAIT, wAIT, nO,
uMMM, iT WASN'T ANYTHING LIKE THAT,
i, dON'T WANT TO EXPERIMENT, iT WAS A JOKE,
aPRIL FOOLS,
mY CALENDAR WAS SLOW, uH, tHAT'S ALL,
aND, i DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE,
uH, pROFESSOR MURDOC HAPPY,
hE JUST TOOK POINTS AWAY, bECAUSE OF THIS,
i'M SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE,
i'M REALLY SORRY,

{>Don't worry about covering up the mistake.<}
{>Accept it and move on.<}
{>Trying to hide it now that it's out will only make things worse for you.<}
{>And I'm very well aware of the points he took!<}

nO, sERIOUSLY, uM,
iT WAS JUST A JOKE, fOR APRIL FOOLS,
wHICH i FOUND OUT JUST NOW WAS, uH, aLMOST A WEEK AGO,
sO YES ACTUALLY, uM, a MISTAKE WAS MADE,
aND i WILL ADMIT TO MISTAKING THE DATE, sIR,
tHANK YOU FOR, uH, hELPING ME REALIZE THAT,
aND i'VE LEARNED TO CHECK MY CALENDAR FOR THOROUGHLY,
aND ALSO TO, uH, cOMPARE IT TO OTHERS TO MAKE SURE IT'S CORRECT,

wAIT, yOU ARE,
wHY DID YOU GIVE, tHEM BACK THEN,
uHH, i MEAN, i DESERVED IT, fOR BEING STUPID AND, uNFUNNY,

Really. You can quit hiding under the excuses.
You're digging your hole deeper.
The first points were unfair.
It was a mistake on your part.
But he'll take more for lying and I won't give those back because lying IS something to be punished for.

{>Now! That said! Relax.<}
{>Everybody gets confused at your age.<}
{>It can be hard to tell the difference between liking someone and LIKING them.<}
{>You'll sort it out though!<}
{>Just relax and let the feelings settle.<}

[So. Many. Inkblots.]

{>If they're your friends they'll understand!<}
{>And if you really don't want them to know you'll need a much better excuse.<}
{>Better just to come out with it don't you think?<}

{>You know intense emotional connections can lead to erotic dreams even if you aren't actually attracted to the person!<}

{>And what's wrong with being attracted to men?<}
{>Shouldn't it be the heart and mind that matters and not the body?<}
{>I've had my share of male lovers! It's fun! Different from women.<}
{>There's nothing at all wrong with it. I promise.<}
