Hey there
Apemis here.

So I know that there is already a Hogwarts uniform if a robe can even be called a uniform
But I was actually looking for your permission for a little bit of something else.

Since it's obviously going to be a dueling class
It would take someone missing half their brain to not realize there's going to be dueling.

I was thinking, if I got your permission
I could put some different clothes on the shopping list for my students.

I guess you could call them dueling uniforms??
A little less robes so they don't trip over their own fucking feet and with some charmwork

The charms would be a just in case kind of thing
I'm teaching them how to defend what they care about not how to accidentally maim each other

I know a few people who could get the stuff to Malkin's
So I guess all I need is your okay

This is an excellent idea, I heartily approve.

Headmaster,

It's come to my attention that many of our students lack proper education in, well, sexuality and the basics of sex education. I was hoping to start a class, one that is completely voluntary. Of course they would have to have their parents or guardians sign a permission form to attend.

I just really believe they need someone to talk to and ask questions of. Sending them out into the world without knowing how their own bodies work seems foolish. I accept that you may not feel the same way and I will only go forward with the class on your approval. I also thank you for the Head of House position.

Why yes, what a fine idea, Dierdre. This is certainly something currently lacking their education, and I would be remiss in my duties as a Headmaster if we didn't cover all of the necessary topics needed to send them out into the world.

I have decided that perhaps instead of a class, we will have an optional seminar in the coming weeks to this effect. I will speak to our colleagues about the matter and see if we can get some of them to assist the students in gaining the necessary knowledge in a safe environment. Furthermore, students will be encouraged to privately inquire about things of this nature in a comfortable forum.

You are very welcome, you are more than qualified.

[ooc: We're planning something for this for September 24th to 27th. We hope that's not a problem for you! And sorry about the delay!]

Yo, Dumblebro. First I just wanted to say thanks again for letting me have the languages job. It's been pretty damn awesome so far, so I really fucking appreciate the opportunity.

But I kinda have a favor to ask, and it's kinda weird and random, but. I was wondering if I could borrow your pensieve one of these days. There are a few things I need to show Dave... y'know, to help him understand a few things. It's kinda personal, so I'm sorry I can't go into anymore deets than that.

So yeah, would that be cool? I'll bring it back in one piece.

[oh_earwax]

Certainly. I hope it will bring clarity for the both of you.

Professor Dumbledore, as a new prefect, I have an idea I'd like to bring up. See, sometimes I just sort of feel like taking away points isn't enough. I don't mean to cause a stir, of course, or say that other prefects are ineffective!

But, well, I guess what I'm asking is if I could hold sort of... Counseling sections for particularly troubled students. I can get a teacher to help, if you think I should. I'm not going to try to be a therapist, I just want to try talking to people. I hope that's okay!

That is a marvelous idea and rather generous of you, Miss Gothel. If you find yourself needing extra assistance from the staff, you need only ask and I will find someone suitable.
