Please respond to this post with your name only if you are currently planning on staying in the castle during the Christmas holidays. I do not have the time for any nonsense or cheekiness and if anyone replies with anything other than their name a suitable punishment will be carried out.

All other students are to leave on the Hogwarts Express on the 19th of December. I would like to remind everyone do finish all of their coursework before the break has started otherwise they will suffer terribly in their grades.
