These murders are hitting too close to home. I've been picking up the Muggle Newspaper to stay updated and... I don't like how this is going. Can we really ignore this for so long?

This feels... just like before. They aren't making people forget this time around, they're not afraid anymore. Asahi, what am I supposed to do...? I have a feeling that keeping Miharu safe isn't going to be enough soon.

The murders keep happening and the muggles can't protect themselves.

But I meant more in the school, about what we can do, which obviously isn't much. I know we have to keep face for the sake of the of the students, but it's not always so easy.

No, you don't. You're insulting their intelligence by doing so, they know that things are dangerous.

You'd rather we told them to live in fear? To keep their wands ready at all times, because we can't protect them?

I didn't say that, you just have to tell them the truth. Not that I think 'keep your wand ready' is bad advice, but you can admit that there is a problem and still be a role model.

Obviously. But children need a better environment for learning and growing up-- they can't always know the same truth adults do.

Sir, I was a student myself just months ago. I know. They're not idiots, they read the papers just like we do. You're not going to keep it from them.

I know that. I meant the younger kids.

They need to be aware of what they're getting into, just as much as the rest do.

I disagree. I think they should be able to keep their innocence for as long as they can.

I think it would be wonderful if they could, but lying to them about the danger they might be in is irresponsible, you would be endangering them even further by not letting them prepare.

It's our job to help them prepare, naturally, but I'm just saying. We don't need to tell children how many casualties there have been; only that they should be careful and that there's a real threat. Is it so wrong to want to tone it down a bit for them?

No, it isn't wrong. However, if they don't hear the details from us, they'll hear it from the older students. I would suggest telling them to ensure they have the facts straight.
