it's a shame the following could not follow simple rules: Tinkerbell, Dodger, and Alice Kingsley. 

Reason: Violation of the no pets on campus rule.

Punishment: Now I know this is a minor offense but it shall not be overlooked. Rules are rules for a specific reason. Pets become a nuisance to those who aren't fond of the little disgusting varmints you burden. It is rude for you to assume everyone around you is not allergic to the monstrosity you hold on a leash. This is a school, not a zoo. Considering the behavior of some of the students that's debatable. You adolescents can barely pick up after yourselves let alone an another creature. A school is not a deemable environment for animals. To demonstrate that a school is an unfit place for animals the three of you shall live in less than comfortable conditions. The AC vents to all of your rooms have been shut off for the next week. Lucky for you it's summer so the humidity and heat are at it's ultimate peak. You may not share rooms with anyone else. And your unfortunate roommates who must also endure your punishment will be able to thank you for their new room temperature.

I wonder if your pets will enjoy this new heat too. 

I have answered Queenie, Jane D, Jane P, Amory, and I owe a reply to Meg and Dodger. 

Tia was sitting alone in the common room, reading a book she had picked up from the corner. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great, but it was enough to keep her attention. Late at night was difficult for her to sleep sometimes. Why, she didn't know, but it often lead to... unusual consequences. 

Elizabeth was too restless to sleep and it wasn't doing her any good to just lay in bed. Glancing over at her sleeping roommate, she slid out of bed, threw her robe on to ward off the cold and stepped outside into the hall. She belted her robe shut as she walked, going to tie her hair back when she remembered that she had left her tie in her room. Dropping her hair, she was thinking about possibly trying the kitchen for food when she rounded the corner and plowed straight into someone. 

I don't have all that much to say except that I'm sorry. I wish things didn't end the way that they did. I wish you all the happiness you deserve.
