Oh yeah.
After listening with a tight expression though ALL those words that Scabior just spoke, Theo almost forgot to listen to the next question. It was all good, though, he heard it. Though, he did pause at first. Whilst one side of his brain said that every room needed a password, his social side was saying BAAAAAAAAAD IDEA.
"I would like to have my own separate bedroom with a password on it." Or a lock. Theodore was into personal space, if you hadn't already guessed. As for other places, there wasn't much else he could think of.
"But I realize that could be a stretch." Another shrug. Security he said. That wasn't the real reason. The real reason was that the kid whatever and as much as he could get for himself. Both of his answers proved it.
And Dash approved.
"Good idea." Quote:

Thankfully he stopped, giving her a chance to catch up with everything. Her hands only went so fast you know!
Right and onto his question now--
Whaaaat? O____O
How could he possibly think there were more places that could use a good password?! Wasn't she being restricted enough?! Her hand flew up immediately. "Professor I think this place is pretty well locked up; it doesn't need anymore passwords." Merlin, how did anyone expect her to go exploring when everything was out of reach. Couldn't they just try to be a bit more considerate? Jeesh. "Everything's fine just the way it is." Correction; it needed to be a bit more open, but she wouldn't say that.
And did Theo really say he needed his own bedroom?? Dangit, and here she thought she was demanding.
Oh!
"Unless of course you think somewhere else needs locking off." Somewhere you wanted to share with the class? Hmm?
"No. I have nothing in mind." He answered flatly. Though if she thought there were enough passwords that was a valid point. Quote:

They were so convinced that the History of Magic Professor was out for payback after the train incident that it was hard for the blonde to comprehend him praising something she'd said. Was this a trick? Meep. She shrugged and gave the man a small smile.
As for places in the castle that might need to be password protected that aren't already, Ella shrugged. Hmmm... "Professor, perhaps the places where the magical creatures are kept could use passwords? That would ensure the safety of both the students and the animals." Seemed like a good idea, especially given the fact that several animals had been killed/disappeared this term. Oh! And that skrewt that had attacked first term! Meep. Quote:

Belle thought about it and said, "Well professor they have to earn it to get the password, like i had to earn to be a prefect to know all the passwords." Belle did not want to brag but it was true. Being a prefect does not come easy.
Then she heard the professor ask another question. What places that do not have passwords, should have one. Belle heard Ella's suggestion. Take care of the animals from the students. "Professor i agree with Ella's suggestion. We should have a password for creature cages. So the creatures can not harm the students and the other way around. The broom shed is a logical one too." Belle loved her classmates suggestions.
"That depends. You would have to figure out who would be allowed to see the creatures then and who wouldn't." Not EVERYONE could know the password, remember. Quote:

She set her quill and, as best she could, took down notes of what the professor said. It was actually interesting, to say the least, especially the part about the Hogwarts Security Act. How could something that was obviously that important be lost? But, they were moving so she held her question for the library later.
Other places in the castle that should have passwords? "The broomshed? To keep students from stealing the brooms." "That's true. Though I think secretly Vindictus loves when you lot take his brooms." Small smirk. Oops? Nah. Quote:
Originally Posted by Tegz Well sure. West stuck his hand up. "Mine and Theo and Terry's dorm. Just on account of it'd be cool." Pretty much. HE didn't have other places he needed to protect, save his own trunk, which had a lock anyways. "Doesn't sound like Theo thinks so." Scabior smirked slightly. "He seems to want his own room and password, not with other people." Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin Were there areas that needed passwords that didn't have them? Hadn't Scabior been listening to her answers earlier? Or to Aspen's genius response a bit ago? DIDN'T HE LISTEN?
No. He did not.
"It seems to me, Professor, that since passwords are mostly for show and to give the appearance of security without actually being secure, that we could password protect ever room in the school. Or none of them. The only difference would be how late you end up being to class on a daily basis." ...Scabior stared at the Hogwarts born-not-a-baby-anymore-baby for a few seconds, then a few more seconds. Then he turned to the next person. Quote:

"I'd make the Restricted Section of the library password protected and get rid of the idea that you need a note from a Professor to get in there. That way, if you really wanted or needed in, you'd be able to with work, and not be at the mercy of Professors."
JUST saying. Oh. She was still on that. "That's nice." Yuuuup. Nice. No note for you. Quote:

Anyway onto the next question. Up goes the hand "The Armory Professor. It may just function more as a gallery now, but there are still weapons in there, and given that many of those also have historical value shouldnt that room have a password too?" "Perhaps it should. Do you think it would be a negative thing though if you couldn't just walk in a view items?" He raised a brow. Quote:

"I know the Hospital Wing is well monitored, but I'm sure it could use a password to keep people from sneaking in when no one is looking. They might try to steal gifts from patients' bedsides or medicines from the cabinets." She didn't really think anyone would do that, but it was possible.
I wonder when he's going to stop toying with us and give us some information on the password failures of our common rooms! She doodled on her parchment next to the notes she'd taken, which were few. Steal...medicines? Right. "If you think so." No. That sounded insane. Quote:
Originally Posted by PotterHeadforLife Anything ELSE in this school to lock up? Uhmm... what? But Hogwarts was to secure already. That is, for Kat at least. Additional security didn't seem so important. There were charms and spells everywhere. It was optional though, maybe Truebridge would want to add more passwords and spells then Kat wouldn't mind. She didn't want to meddle with Truebridge ever since... that incident at the Pitch. You know... during Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor... And the kicking of her face... and... the little 'show' that caused Vivi and Milton Shackly-bolt right? Yeah, whatever. Not the point.
"Uhmm," Kat said. She obviously needed some time to think at first. She really agreed with West's sister, Aspen, about the Restricted Section in the Library. "I think the dormitories between the girls and boys need some password." Even though there were already charms to prevent this. But more security for safety measures, that was Kat's initial thought. Her answer, though, was a bit similar to West's, she noticed. Oh, child. "They could be a benefit there." Maybe. But the charms already worked well so why mess with what wasn't broken? Quote:

Zoey much prefer some other classes that require more physical work or more activities: like waving your wand more in class.
Anyways, Zoey finally caught he last question and decided she should have a go on it. She tried to think hard of all the places at Hogwarts. Where does she want to have passwords on??
"Well Professor, I don't think we should have anymore additional passwords. I mean, the passwords to the common rooms and prefects bathrooms are fine. But I don't think we should have it anywhere else." Zoey replied. "First of all, it would be rather hard for everyone to remember all the passwords. I can barely remember what I had for lunch today. Also, I think setting more passwords make us feel more trapped and less free. It just doesn't seem like a school anymore. School rules are made to break so that we'll learn from our rule-breakings." "School rules are made to follow so you don't make mistakes because you are smart enough to follow. That is what you meant surely." Scabior corrected. Yes. That was what she meant. "But you do make good points." Quote:

She wouldn't mind have a password on her dorm either, better yet her bed. That way she could finally have her some peace and quiet. The thing about the restricted section in the library would come in pretty handy as well.
What else should have a password though? She didn't want to repeat any of the other answers. "Maybe a password on the kitchen so you couldn't sneak food." Now she personally didn't agree with this, but it made sense. "There is a password on the kitchen." Were people even listening? Quote:

Nobody called her Slytherin for nothing, after all. Sierra then smirked at the story of Professor Pride. What an idiot. Nobody gives an ultimatum like that unless they have power, and this guy sounded like he had none.
When the story was over and another question was brought up, Sierra raised her hand. "What about the locker rooms? Each common room has one, so it'd make sense for the individual locker rooms to be protected, as well," she said. Sierra cared more about her precious Quidditch strategies being stolen and less about who saw how she folded her bedsheets in the morning.
"It would!" He nodded. Clearly the flying professor needed more passwords in his department. --- The sky was clearing up. It was something to be noticed. It was very important to knowing about passwords.....or not....so although he was was concentrated on his lesson he still stole glances outside.
"The majority of you gave examples of places you think should have passwords. Others believe that Hogwarts have enough as it is. Since it's clearing up outside-" He looked out the window again. "-I'll let you guys out early. But for your homework I want you all to continue with what you think so far." Reaching for his wand, he tapped it on the board making the homework appear. Homework:
Option A: Choose an area in the castle that you believe needs a password and explain why based on what you believe Surles Cavendish would say. After state what kind of password you would use (verbal, written, another language, funny dance ect) and again, why. Remember, previous Headmasters like Dumbledore often followed a certain theme, changing his passwords frequently, yet all had to do with candy.
Option B: For those of you who think Hogwarts doesn't need any more passwords I want you to give an example of one area that has a password that you would eliminate and why. Explain if you would replace this area with a charm (if yes, what charm) or not based on what you believe Petey Pride would say.
Bonus for both: Include a diagram/picture.
Due: November 27th 11:59pm EST "So...." Scabior shrugged. "You are dismissed."
