That's fine...and I wouldn't have any issues with it if they weren't student and at Hogwarts which is supposed to be a safe zone (ish) on the wiki rather than a place where murdering psycho kids reside. That being said I'm just trying to be realistic...teachers get to know their students and I feel like if a teacher sees a constant rulebreaker there will be consequences (detentions and such). If they think they're actually doing illegal things...there might be further consequences from the Head of House of Headmaster (expulsion, etc.). I understand they operate in the shadows and do things under the radar which is fine as long as they're doing it that way and it's understood getting caught at school could be problematic for the characters.

Just as an example I'm pretty sure Dumbledore knew almost everything going on at Hogwarts and when Malfoy was trying to kill him he was keeping a close eye on him. Extending that it was so hard for Draco to kill Dumbledore that he couldn't do it...but now we have a bunch of student walking around the halls who have killed or at least seem willing to.

I'm not trying to dissuade the gang at all or say it shouldn't happen...just trying to point out that in fairness for keeping the wiki realistic something probably will happen to at least one of the serpents that's noticeable to staff of the school and questions will at least be asked (things like injuries from missions, homework assignments not done, caught out after curfew, etc.). It would be unfair and OP if they could just roam the school with nobody noticing their actions and them getting no consequences...but as long as that's taken into account by the Serpents/Hogwarts staff I have no issue. I just wanted to make sure everything was thought through. :)
