September 1st, after the Welcome Back Feast

[flower_of_lions]

We're not even at Hogwarts for twenty-four hours and already there are students breaking the rules. Just on the way to Gryffindor Tower, I confiscated two Fanged Frisbees and Black has earned himself the first detention of the year for setting a Slytherin banner on fire

The banner was asking for it.

[quidditch_stag]

Just a shame you got caught, mate.

[why_so_me]

If only the bright flames and heavy smoke hadn't given me away!

[flower_of_lions]

I don't care, that's not a good reason! None of the House banners deserve to be burned!

If it's the first day of school, what did you think was going to happen?

[flower_of_lions]

That certain students might have restrained themselves until morning, at the very least. Perhaps I was being too optimistic.

[quidditch_stag]

You need to lighten up, Evans!

[flower_of_lions]

Lighten up? That was a serious infraction of school rules, Potter!

[lycanthropy_101]

...oh, Sirius.

[flower_of_lions]

If this is how they're starting the year, I'll admit I'm worried about what he or Potter will have accomplished by the time we're on the train home.

I'll try to keep a better eye on him, Lily. It's harder than you'd think it'd be, though.

[flower_of_lions]

I think I'm beginning to understand why. I might be lucky to make it past this year without going mad. How you're still friends with them, I may never know, but you have the tolerance of a saint.
