The headmistress said, "At dinner, I’ll announce a new policy on bullying. Attacks on any first-year student will receive punishment, up to expulsion. Attacks by any student on a student more than three years younger will receive punishment, up to expulsion. Attacking a student so as to cause him pain, with him requiring a trip to the hospital wing, will result in expulsion. At my discretion, if I expel someone, I might also hand the student over to the DMLE."
