I've just come back from the hospital wing. Sev has an odd story about being attacked by a stag on the grounds this morning. In all my five years at Hogwarts, I have never seen a stag or doe of any sort. I wouldn't have thought any lived in the Forbidden Forest, not with everything I've heard to live in there.

What makes it even more strange, is that he said he hadn't been doing anything. He had just been sitting by the lake, reading over his Potions notes.

I'm just glad he'll be released tomorrow. The nurse wants to keep him overnight, make sure he hasn't suffered a concussion. He's not too happy about it.

I have rounds again tonight, assigned with one of the Hufflepuff prefects. I promised Sev I'd pop in for a quick visit when I finish.

Not...not far enough onto the grounds that students would be able to have contact with them, no.

...do you think we should talk to Dumbledore, if this sort of thing happens again? That's really dangerous, animals just attacking people and all.

I think it might be worth bringing up to him. I don't want to risk any other students getting attacked. The gamekeeper should also be informed, I think.

Alright. Next Prefect meeting, we should bring it up. Ask for people to be on the lookout for strange animal behavior. Who knows what'll happen to the next person, right? Snape is very lucky that he wasn't more seriously injured.

Most definitely. A bit of caution never did anyone harm.
