Oh HELL, Dad!
I hope you can help me out. This was not written in the fine-print when I signed on for this Prefecting shite job!
S This wee second-year comes up to me y this morning. Now, he's one of the really shy Gryffindors, and he's often teased, other kids saying he should be in Hufflepuff and that sort of rubbish. I told them off once earlier in the year, so now he comes to me a lot with problems and questions. He's a good lad.
But MERLIN. Today the kid comes up to me and asks...well, he starts by saying he say saw a couple snogging in the boys' loo on the fourth floor. Well, I guess they'd moved beyond just snogging, because the kid basically asked me why the boy was hurting the girl. Why me?!
At first I was just going to leave it at "Oh, boyfriends and girlfriends do that" but he asked why so I said they were practicing to be like mums and dads but he still didn't know what the hell I was talking about! SO then I asked him if he knew what sex was, and he said NO. And I asked if he knew were babies came from and he said a mummy's belly so he's not completely hopeless but Dad, this kid is almost 13 and he doesn't know what sex is - and now he wants me to tell him!
What should I do? I don't think I should tell him, and I don't want to tell him to ask his parents or Madam Pomfrey, because I want him to trust me. Does that make sense? Oh, and his parents are both wizards.
Help me! PLEASE!
