That Infamous Health-Class Talk... Hogwarts Style!

Hello:

I can *so* see this-- the boys in the fifth-year class are sent out 
to play Quidditch while the girls are administered that infamous 
contraception-and-womanhood talk.  I can't imagine Flitwick giving 
that lecture, though-- but the thought of McGonagall teaching that 
particular branch of magic to the girls brings tears to my eyes.  
Something along the Snape-Parkinson scene posted a bit ago, but on a 
larger scale.  Lavender and Parvati giggle throughout.

And then, the next day, the girls are sent out of the room, while 
Snape *muffles a snicker* has to lecture the boys 
on "responsibility".  Of course, 15 is a tad too late to start 
teaching these things and they know all about the "goblins and 
gnomes" already... but Ron, seeing the opportunity to simultaneously 
embarrass and annoy Snape without consequences, takes the liberty of 
asking about *everything* in full-on detail.  But poor, poor 
Neville!  He'll be forever confused and will grow up thinking that 
the baby comes from the Goblin Fairy.

(All right, weird, I know.  But keep in mind that the above message 
was written by the girl who fell asleep during the sixth-grade sex ed 
films and caused the health department considerable distress.  

"How on Earth is Sue supposed to find these things out without 
watching our archaic, outdated films from the Stone Age?  Whatever 
shall we do?")

Yeah, I'm going to shut up now. ^_^
