Severus felt satisfied that he had quelled the boy when he received a polite response to his barely disguised disapproval. Giving one final narrowed eyed glare to insure the boy had no intention of interrupting him again.  He turned the paper to face Michael while he started speaking.<br/><br/>"Prefects are expected not only to uphold the school rules, but also to uphold Slytherin's rules and to demonstrate by example the values of our house. You are to be model Slytherin students. I expect you to help your charges with their homework. To insure they are settled into their term. To assist them in picking the best classes for their chosen area of study. Direct them to me if ever there is an issue that needs my attention. Seek my advice as you need it. Do not allow any other house to pick on our own without protecting them. The younger students are our responsibility to protect from the others. That however, does not give you free reign to bring shame on Slytherin house. Should you notice anything odd about one of your charges or any problems arising you are to come to me straight away, do I make myself clear?"<br/><br/>Severus demanded. Pausing only long enough to get a reply from the boy before indicating the parchment. "This is a list of all the activities I have planned. It lists the dates, times and places each will be located. The number of students from each year that can sign up. The deadlines for signing up and who will be either assisting me or running the activity. I have noted your name in four of the eight boxes. Take note of them and insure you are always punctual and prepared. I do not tolerate tardiness or disorganization," Severus stated plainly. His voice harsh and cold.<br/><br/>He paused again to allow the boy time to see the schedule and make any request or comment he may have.<br/><br/>"You are to patrol on Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays," Severus informed him. He had given three days to each of his Prefects. "Mondays and Tuesdays are your in-house days. Sundays are when you are to patrol the dungeons for the two hours after curfew that is required of all Prefects. Do you have any questions?" Severus asked as he finished with his instructions.
