User blog:Bond em7/Students Out Of Bed!

Alright, so as you probably know since you're here, this blog is about students wandering around London and such while school is in session and they should be there. I'm fine if parents have taken their students for some reason (though I feel a parent would need to meet with the Headmaster to take their kid), or if those of age (above 17) and who can appirate leave the school for a time as they're adults and can do what they like...though I somehow doubt this actually happens often in Canon. No, what I'm really concerned about is the 1st-6th years I see wandering around Diagon Alley, causing fights, doing illegal things etc. First they shouldn't be away from Hogwarts...and secondly most students that age shouldn't have the money to buy illegal things, or even know where to get them. I feel that there are a lot of places at Hogwarts that students can get into fights, have harsh words etc. Why do they need to do it elsewhere? I guess this just doesn't seem realistic, and I feel like shop owners and others would look strangely at kids that young in their shops while Hogwarts is in session, and those people who buy and sell illegal things wouldn't really do buisness with a kid right? I just feel like Hogwarts should be a safe place, and parents shouldn't have to wonder what their kids are doing while there at school....but with the current stuff going on I think it won't be long before that happens, and I don't want to get to that point. So, I'm starting by posting this blog so people take a moment to think about this, and will possibly consider it in the future. If needed we can always ask shopkeepers and aurors to keep an eye out for this sort of thing...or OOC delete RPs where students are strangely away from Hogwarts...but if you guys just think before doing that, none of that will be necessary. Another topic that's kinda bothering me (so I thought I would include it here) is that Hogsmeade seems to be a place where a lot of dark witches and wizards hang out. While that's ok...it seems like they're fighting and getting into arguments with students far too often, and if Hogsmeade became such an unsafe place, then the school won't allow students to go there anymore. This would affect the shopkeepers as they won't be getting money from the students anymore. So, I feel like to protect their money source, shopkeepers in Hogsmeade would step in to help students, or at least report dark witches/wizards to the Minstry, or Hogwarts (as it's closer) so capture them or drive them off. So...would it help if there was a dark alley (like Knockturn Alley) in Hogsmeade for Dark Witches/Wizards to do their buisness? ...or is it just that much fun bullying students with your Dark characters that this will continue reguardless? So, feel free to post on the comments below with your thought or ideas reguarding these issues. Am I over-reacting? Are these even issues that need addressed? Is the solution more Aurors, or getting the shopkeepers involved, or are there other solutions? Let me know!
