Hanna brought her attention to the girl she knew was called Archer, who seemed to be the leader of the study group. Had she constructed a timetable of sorts? It was funny because Hanna wouldn't have thought Archer would be the one to head the study group.

Ah. But it wasn't a study group.

Hanna sat still, watching some people depart, and wondering if she should do the same. What if they did get caught? The thought of those points being lost from Ravenclaw, and detentions, and even more pushups or laps was frightening. But as she continued to listen, she knew without any doubt that what Archer was saying had to be done. It just had to. They needed to leave. And since they couldn't exactly write home, to the Board of Governors, or the Ministry without their letters being searched and likely destroyed, it was up to them.

Nobody was going to help them.

She truly had no idea what would make them voluntarily leave. They didn't seem to be affected by rule-breakers, rudeness, disrespect, or anything. In fact, they seemed to welcome it. Then they would have something to play on. What could possibly break that down?

She listened to some suggestions, nodding as she heard them. She looked at Nettie, who had rebelled against the rules and worn a necklace. Hanna thought that was pretty brave, because she wouldn't have done that without constant anxiety. Nifflers, breaking rules, they were all good ideas. Hanna wasn't sure she would be able to participate in them though. She was trying to think about something SHE would be willing to do, without upsetting her parents, and her family.

Aretha mentioned something about detention, which got Hanna thinking. "Yes, you're right. I've lost count of how many people have had detention this year. But... what if people got given detentions and didn't go? Or they just... sat there?" Her hope vanished at the horror that came next. "I wouldn't put it past them to put us under the Imperius curse and make us do whatever they wanted."
