to my fellow Prefects

[alt_linus]

I've found our missing second-years, and have rescued them from the staircase on which they were so thoroughly marooned. Well, thoroughly marooned if one abstains completely from the use of any spells to bridge the gap that particular staircase likes to open up. Honestly, they've known those spells since the middle of first year. I don't see why they're suddenly having conniptions about using them now. Apparently a recent Educational Decree has them in some sort of panic, or perhaps it that the panic of certain older students is contagious; in any case, they're all a bit on edge, and seem to be needing encouragement to do the slightest thing.

They should be at their respective classes soon. Thank you for helping me search for them.

It is going to be a long week if this keeps up, and it's only Wednesday.
