mcgonagall: do you think we should start requiring permission slips for quidditch? i mean, potter literally lost all the bones in his arm last year
dumbledore: nah
mcgonagall: also, maybe we should let parents know if we’re gonna send students into the forest for detentions? remember when we sent potter in there and you-know-who tried to kill him?
dumbledore: nah
mcgonagall: well, maybe we should get permission from parents for extracurricular activities. dueling club last year resulted in potter being outed as a parsletongue, and everyone thought he was the heir of slytherin for most of the year
dumbledore: nah
mcgonagall: alright, well, potter wants to know if he can go to hogsmeade. the abusive muggles you saddled him with wouldn’t sign his form
dumbledore: you wanT HIM TO GO TO HOGSEMEADE WITHOUT A PERMISSION FORM??? DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS??? HE MIGHT GET CAVITIES FROM ALL THE CANDY HE MIGHT BUY. I WON’T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LAWSUIT, MINERVA
