Koko really disliked handing out detentions. It was, more than anything, a detriment to her – she valued her free time, valued sleep, valued training. This was an affront to her need to constantly be in the air, on the grounds, outside. She found herself holed up in the study room on 16 September because she had run into Minnie Duke while heading outside for, well, let's say, early morning patrolling.

She'd needed a walk, okay? It wasn't her fault that she sometimes had bad dreams and that being outside made her feel better. But no one said she couldn't do early morning patrolling. So she had done some, and she'd found a child outside, and it wasn't like she shouldn't save her own sorry self.

So... this wasn't going to be that long. It wasn't going to be that difficult for Minnie. Koko had written some bullet points on a small paper that she'd set on the desk that would be Minnie's:
Reducio
- In the Forbidden Forest, there are dangerous creatures that come into the grounds
- Some of these have been cursed creatures like spiders that inject curses into your veins
- You can't ever be sure of anyone's intentions
- What's the best way to stay safe, then? If you have to fend for yourself, isn't it best to avoid such a situation in the first place? What do you think? Why or why not?
She'd hoped that Minnie would respond to the final bullet point on a larger paper on the desk, paired with a quill and ink for her to use, and that Minnie would write out her thoughts. It wasn't meant to be difficult; rather, Koko just wanted the girl to think about it a little bit. She also, well, wanted to see what Minnie thought herself. She couldn't help but be curious.

When Minnie arrived, she would wave politely. 'Hi, I hope you've had a decent day. This shouldn't take too long... I've got a paper here–' She pointed to the smaller paper. '–with some bullet points for you to look over, and a few questions for you to answer. It doesn't have to be long. I just want you to think about it all a bit. I'll be here if you have any questions, and you can leave whenever you're done; I won't keep you longer than you want to stay.'

This is a detention for Minnie Duke. I'll be moderating this detention, and here are a few guidelines:

1. Please abide by the site's rule of a minimum of 200 words per post.

2. You must write a minimum of 400 words before you can create or join new threads.

3. If you would like, you can keep RPing in this thread after you've met this benchmark.

4. IC, you just have to read the notes on the small paper and write out your thoughts on them on the big paper–it can be brief!

5. You're not in trouble OOC, just IC.

6. Please review our Detention System, and feel free to owl me if you have any questions.

Minnie was sure this was going to be a horrible detention. It wasn't like the other detention she had had, in which the teacher had just wanted her to get punished. Koko seemed like she had wanted to make her understand why it was wrong. That was something Minnie just didn't do well. Hopefully she could get it over with quickly, and then get back to thinking about her current mysteries. Or planning a trip to the forbidden forest....that is, if the detention didn't take too much time.

When she walked into the room, she realized quickly that this was not going to be a physical detention. There was a paper for her to write things, and Koko did not seem mad to be there. "Thanks I guess. I've had an okay day, but I hope this doesn't make my day worse." She tried to joke. Then she looked over the paper, hoping the questions weren't too hard.

- In the Forbidden Forest, there are dangerous creatures that come into the grounds
- Some of these have been cursed creatures like spiders that inject curses into your veins
- You can't ever be sure of anyone's intentions
- What's the best way to stay safe, then? If you have to fend for yourself, isn't it best to avoid such a situation in the first place? What do you think? Why or why not? She read. Well, that wasn't that hard. She could write an answer to that question, and it wouldn't have to be a mile long. Perfect. She didn't quite agree with it all, as there didn't seem to be many dangerous things when she walked in the forest. She hadn't met anyone, and the creatures hadn't been dangerous. Maybe she was just lucky. Or careful. It wasn't as if she went into the forest at night. And she always had her want with her.

I better get started on my detention. This might take a while. With a sigh, she resigned herself to writing out her answers. But she couldn't put her quill down. Nothing came to mind, so she would have to actually think about her answers. Koko's plan was working, making her reflect on what she had done. I could always go during the day, with a friend, with a couple of wands. Stay on the paths, and don't trust any strangers, running away I see any.

She wrote for a while, stopping to think, and then putting her quill down again. The scratch of a quill filled the air as she wrote out her detention. I think that this is pretty good. It will pass Koko's test anyways. She put her quill down, and reread the short essay she had written. It was the first time she had actually put thought into detention, instead of grumbling in annoyance about getting caught. She was still planning to sneak out in a few weeks...but she would be a lot more careful about being in the forbidden forest, and would maybe sneak out while is was not night.

What's the best way to stay safe, then? If you have to fend for yourself, isn't it best to avoid such a situation in the first place? What do you think? Why or why not?

The best way to stay safe would be to not be in the situation. I think this because if you have to defend yourself, you shouldn't be in that situation. Even if you have to go into the forbidden forest, you should take some precautions. Like keeping to the paths, only going during the day, and having a friend and a couple of wands. If you see someone you either know or don't know, run away. As you said, you can't be sure of anyone's intentions. But not going to the forbidden forest really helps. If you do get into a situation, stay calm, and use your spells. Quick, simple magic can sometimes really help you. Or do it the muggle way, and throw rocks. Running also can really help in bad situations. So in conclusion, going into the forbidden forest is a way to get into trouble, and staying in Hogwarts approved areas will keep you safe.


"I think I'm done." She told Koko. This detention was hopefully going to be over soon. As much as it had made her think, she had homework to do, and this detention wasn't going to get any more thinking out of her. Really, it should be time to leave.

Koko's smile wavered slightly when Minnie said she hoped the detention wouldn't make her day worse. She couldn't exactly guarantee that it wouldn't, but she liked to think she wasn't the type of person to punish for the sake of punishment — this wasn't meant to be boring, nor was it meant to be absolutely horrible, but she could understand why someone might feel that way.

'I really do hope it's not too bad,' she said almost sheepishly before deciding that it would probably be better for both of them if she shut her mouth — she was likely digging a deeper hole.

She awkwardly sat atop a different desk, crossing her legs at the ankles, moderately disappointed by how high her feet rested above the floor. It was almost embarrassing, but thankfully, Minnie at least had something else to focus on. Koko did not. Perhaps in the future, she would plan better when she was administering detentions; perhaps she would bring a book — but she hated reading — or perhaps she could draw — but she wasn't any good at that.

Resigned, she bit back a sigh and glanced furtively out of the window. It was dark. No fun.

Minnie finished her essay, and although she would try to hide it, Koko could not have been more relieved. 'Oh, lovely!' she said genuinely, hopping off of the desk to look at what Minnie had written. 'Well, you can head out whenever you'd like to. I hope you have a nice rest of your evening.'

If Minnie were to leave, Koko would not be too far after her. She would quickly clean up the room and then would head out, probably in search of a relaxing cup of tea.
