A note about being in the hall...

The hall is a great place (note, it is the Great Hall). When you don't have to do anything, you don't want to sit down, and you want to benignly assert your independence as an excellent individual (or Walter and Perry team, as the case may be), the hall is a wonderful place to be. You also might want to enjoy a delicious and refreshing glass of pumpkin juice.

The hall is a place for good, not evil. After all, isn't it where Voldemort finally died? Evil dies in the hall, but only when there are good people there to monitor the evil while it shoots a killing curse that will (fortunately for our heroes) rebound and actually kill itself.

That is why we spend time in the hall. We are protecting you from Voldemort. Be thankful, not critical.

Besides, the so called "Hall Time" and "Hall Poet" never spend time in the hall during classes that warrant their attention. For example, here are all the classes we hardly ever leave at all, even for the bathroom:

Physics

APUSH

AP Comp

French

Pre-Calculus

Religion

and here are the two classes during which we wander:

Study Hall

Drama

As you can see, we are usually doing what we are supposed to.

Remember: we are the last line of defense between you and the Death Eaters.
