A fair question, Mr Malfoy. Thank you for taking my proposal seriously enough to pursue it.
I believe that the school does and should provide care for whatever befalls us in our normal pursuits here. Furthermore, it is plainly the case that some of the assignments, opportunities, tasks, and recreations provided us as part of this school's rich and challenging curriculum involve a certain amount of risk to health and body. It is to be expected that if one of the Chasers were to fall from a broom during a Quidditch match, she or he should be treated without incurring additional charge, even if those injuries prove quite dire and expensive to treat.
My suggestion is merely that those who abuse Madam Pomfrey's care and the school's coffers would think twice before asking a Prefect to escort them to the hospital wing in the wee hours of the morning merely because they've wet their sheets for the fifth time in a fortnight.
A fine of sufficient size might amend behaviour. And, of course, it might also offset some of the expense of such unwarranted demands on the Matron's stores.
