Rather interesting conversations being had in Hogsmeade this weekend.
Caitlin had run into Professor Erikson and was eagar to speak with a "normal" teacher. He was interested in hearing about what the girls were learning in Herbology, and upon finding out their first lesson was the propper way to arrange flowers he wasn't too happy. The girls aren't being prepared for their OWL's or their NEWT's.
It was then Caitlin decided to express her concern over the Ministry Officials And Erikson's response was very uplifting and motivational:

She paused and looked up and down the street before voicing a question she hadn't asked since the first day of term. "It's not going to last ... is it?"

"It's the students who will have to do something at this point, so just keep trying. Detention, points... don't forget that those are not everything. Hogwarts, and being there, is."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Not too long after, Erikson had a rather ... peculiar ... talk with Slytherin Student Alex Lorenssith. Quote:
