Yas, then. It is decided! We shall all play! *rubs her hands together excitedly* It's been so, SO long since I've played a Firstie, and I'm totally going to take full advantage this term.

Right?! But also...I wonder if Flamsteed plans to send out correspondence to all the parents [where Gryffindor house is concerned]. Otherwise, how would they ALL find out? Would there be a sort of automated thing set up?
I know that with Livvy's dad being on the BoG, he'd probably hear something in passing [an 100 points loss at the feast would probably earn gossip]...but I doubt he'd pass that information along to Marilyn. *wonders about technicalities*

Over the course of that two weeks, I think no rubies would fall into their lower hourglass until they've recouped the -105 and then earned at least one point more. You know? Just my two cents.
As for how the students can tell how many points they have... well, they don't exactly know just by looking. The hourglasses are just charmed to know.
I love this reasoning. Fine sense-making, good sir.
