Perfects and Captains are different. Everyone knows that or should we say everyone but the Healer now turned Slytherin Head of House? Word around the castle is that she is trying to fill Lafay’s over sized shoes and mucking it up as she goes along. Her latest blunder being wrongful accusations? We don’t know, it sounds a bit sticky, but from what we were able to gather from some helpful little gossip enablers, the woman is getting her badges mixed up, accusing Captains of not fulfilling their Prefect duties! The scandal! We know you aren’t responsible for the running of your house Mr. Odessa, and thank you for your letter explaining such, how dare she think you could lend a helping hand when trouble arises? Doesn’t she know you lack the initiative and keep things as simple as possible?

Perhaps this is what helped give Slytherin the edge over Ravenclaw in the latest quidditch match? We have noticed Mr. Branxton acting perfectly and going out on a limb to help others - even dancing with the enemy! Perhaps he should take Odessa's cutthroat approach and not 'care who beats each other up as long as it doesn't mess up who gets put on the pitch each game'?

We know how this blame business goes, boy do we ever, and it seems the better blame would be those specifically in charge of those things. If you need a shoulder to cry on, we are here with tissues and parchment in case you’d like to get anything off your chest.

There’s a moral to this little spot of gossip, never send a Captain to do a Prefect’s job. It leaves them looking incompetent.
