I say, old man, I do like the idea in principle, and I certainly approve of the spirit of civil disobedience inherent in it, if you follow me.
I fear it might be too dangerous for those of us who do need to sit O.W.L.s or risk being sent to the camps, what? What if she should lock the doors and hold the keep, as it were? Or if Magical Education were to consider our walk-out a withdrawal from enrollment, or some bally old red tape like that?
I wonder if we might make the same point without vacating the grounds. A sit-in in the Great Hall, in which we refuse to leave or attend lessons, something along those lines. Food wouldn't be an issue in that case, what? And I rather think we could organise revision in groups, for those who wish to have it, so we can prove that we're dedicated to our study; we're just protesting the way in which we're being treated.
I do take your point that we'd need professors on our side to keep her simply rampaging through the Hall and bringing people to harm, what. I say, I think we might easily get them to agree, though.
