[You may want to cover your ears for this one, folks. Professor Constance Peixes is angry. She is very angry. She hasn't sent a Howler, but this might as well be one going out to the entire faculty and student body.]
I am absolutely appalled at the degree of inappropriate subject matter that our students are currently discussing in their journals. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, and particularly so for discussing it with incoming first-years. Mr. Makara and Mr. Kishitani, you both have a month's detention, beginning on the first day of fall term. Mr. Makara, for writing the entry in question, and Mr. Kishitani, for encouraging the discussion, particularly among the younger students.
What in Merlin's name were you thinking? This isn't a 'friendly discussion about biology', this was getting students to discuss matters of a highly personal and private nature! And at the ages of eleven, twelve, and thirteen!
AND MY DAUGHTER AMONG THOSE STUDENTS!
You continued arguing about it being perfectly all right to discuss touching oneself after some of the younger girls said they weren't comfortable with it! They were right to think that their mothers wouldn't want to see them in the middle of a discussion like that, because they don't!
To the rest of you: I highly recommend you think before you write a journal entry discussing a topic of a sexual nature, and frankly, I discourage you from doing so.

In any case, I hope her journal hasn't been confiscated. Do you think it has?
Maybe if Makara, Jaeger and I wrote to her mother and explained the situation, she might return it. Do you have her address?
And those are both very interesting topics, Professor Peixes. But I don't think discussing either of them would have answered any of our questions.
But thank-you for your assistance anyway.

The moment someone expresses that they are uncomfortable with what you are doing is the moment that you drop the subject. That is common courtesy, and something you would do well to learn.
No. No, you, Makara, and Jaegar do not need to write to her parents. That would make the situation worse than it is.
And quite frankly, you might want to reconsider the kinds of questions you're asking. Curiosity is one thing, but you might want to consider the library for answers, rather than asking your fellow students.

I honestly can't figure out what it was that we did wrong. We weren't meaning to make anyone uncomfortable.
I should probably apologize, shouldn't I? But I don't know if I can if her journal has been confiscated. Are you sure we can't write to her parents? I do think that might help! Especially if we apologized!
