It's time to get her paddle

As the head of the Gryffindor house, Professor McGonagall rounded all the Gryffindor first years up after dinner had finished.

"Alright, young wizards, you'll follow you prefects to the dorm. You will do exactly as your prefects say and not step a toe out of line. Witches, it's time for you to get your paddles. I'll be taking you myself. Needless to say, should any of you lolly about you'll become well acquainted with your paddle quite soon. Now come, quickly now."

Following hurriedly after the professor, the five young ladies couldn't help but whisper about their destination. Unsurprisingly, Lavender seemed quite eager receive her "thicker wand," much to the tittering of Parvati. Hermione herself was rather anxious. She had of course read about the tools used upon witches such as herself to keep their magic from going out of control and turning them into, as dictated within Charles Kilthappy's A Guide to Be-Witching Decorum: Stern Eyes & Red Cheeks, "most unruly brats." She even knew that many experts considered the implements used to tame a witch to be just as if not more important than their wands.

Unfortunately, the typically studious bookworm hadn't quite managed to convince herself to do an in depth read of how witches were spanked throughout wizarding history, nor did she read through how each witch obtained such an important tool of the trade. She regretted it now as she marched her cooled, but still tingling tush up stairs after her new classmates. Feeling the castle's cool breeze once more and recognizing that is meant her peach-shaped hiney and white knickers were visible to anyone walking below her, she resolved to just get over her embarrassment. Once she had her paddle and was securely in her dorm room, she would read up on everything she needed to know about being a properly disciplined witch. Surely nothing more could go wrong before then.

Finally stopping at a small door tucked away into the back of the second floor, Professor McGonagall ushered them into the room in order to acquire their second magical partner.
