Filch as a hall monitor, too?

>From my days of "behaving" in high school (ahem....this does not include the
time we were going to put the school up for sale "Proceeds to go to the
senior class"), I recall that the hall monitors (the adults, not the kids
who had power given to them) had the same authority as Filch.  Some even
monitored detension (yes, I ended up in there, lol.  I got it for leaving my
desk drawer open in class--long tale).

Doesn't this sound like one half of Filch's jobs?  I mean he has a drawer on
the twins.

Speaking of drawers, I wonder.  Is there a drawer in that cabinet on the
4-some?  or has it been converted to a more normal use now that they're
gone/out-of-school-dead?
