ARTS · Vesper Noon

Students are advised to wear earplugs during the midnight tolling to avoid unintended emotional outbursts.

Residents of the nearby dormitories have noted that the midnight bells no longer merely toll, but instead erupt into soaring, tragic soprano solos. The chimes, likely affected by a rogue resonance charm, seem particularly fond of performing arias regarding lost loves and forgotten summer afternoons.

While the musicality is undeniably impressive, the sheer volume during the early hours has led to several complaints from the sleep-deprived. The Arts Committee is currently investigating whether the bells require a silencing spell or simply a more suitable repertoire of lullabies.
