Stupid punishments

[alt_harry]

Punishing people for things like that is bollocks. It's extra bollocks because nobody would punish me like that. I mean I know why. Because Father is so careful of me. And sometimes people bite off their tongues off when they get cruciated. But I don't think that getting cruciated is like being allowed to go to Diagon Alley without an Auror.

Also it's unfair to Slytherin. Just because we're supposed to be sly. Sally-Anne wouldn't eavesdrop. At least she wouldn't when she would get cruciated if she was caught. And we all know you can be. So.

Anyway, she told me that it really hurt. I mean really. But I won't ever know. Not that I want to get hurt. Only I wonder do the prefects cast it on each other? And if Father won't let me does that mean I can't ever be a prefect? Not that I want to be a prefect.

No, we Prefects don't cast that particular spell on each other. Remember, only the Head Boy or Head Girl has the authority to cast it (and generally if someone has demonstrated the type of trustworthiness that leads to them being picked as a Prefect in the first place, they'd be unlikely to do anything that would necessitate such a punishment). You may have entirely sensible reasons not to want to be a Prefect (such as wanting more time to revise without having to work around a patrolling schededule), but the fear that you would be required to cast 'Crucio' needn't be one of them.
