Leaning forward a little, Oliver gave the Prefect a shrewd look. "And you wouldn't tell me if you did, would you?" Oh yeah he was onto her. It took one to know one.
"I'm gonna keep my eye on you, Miss Hollingberry." And her cakes. Since when did students give their teachers cookies and cakes? If only to put something in them. Oh yeah he KNEW those tricks.
Kurumi bit her lower lip, a little harder than she intended, to stop herself from squeaking. He was going to watch her? WHY?! What did she doooooo?! Was giving out sweets
like she did every term against the rules now? Was she really THAT suspicious? It wasn't like she was a Slytherin or anything. It looked like Professor Scary Face Scabior had some competition for the title of scariest face.
"
Actually, Professor, putting something harmful in cookies and cakes goes against everything baking stands for," she said with a small nod, trying not to get too freaked out by his scary looks. "
They are supposed to make people happy, not suspicious." Maybe Professor Hadley would come to her aid on this one?

I asked the driver to look for it so that it gets a proper piece of cheese and doesn’t starve."
He had figured out that the squeak sound had come from a prefect spying outside the door but he kept that to himself. Edvard didn’t want to spoil a good evening. Opening his gift box of cookies which smelled delicious he said "Thank you Miss Hollingberry. The cookies smell very delicious. I’m going to save them for later." He would probably need something sweet after his first class of the year.
Well...that was probably a good thing that Professor Roslund never found a mouse on the train. That would mean that the train was a little unsanitary. Last year the Greath Hall and kitchens, this year the Hogwarts Express? No thank you. "
Perhaps it jumped off the train once we arrive," she suggested. Yep, invisible mouse got off the train and was now wandering around invisibly in the Forbidden Forest. "
Mice don't stay put in one place for too long." Unless they had death wish.
Kurumi smiled again at the man when he said that he was going to save the cookies. "
I wouldn't wait too long," she warned. "
Especially with the cake, professor." The cookies were made from chocolate and rice crispies, so they would keep for a few days, but weeks was pushing it.
SPOILER!!: Nimma

She popped up on the staff table and gave some of the students some very very cross elf looks. Especially the cookie prefect. Nimma could make things very hard for the cookie prefect, she could! Nimma could make the cookie prefect not allowed to be in kitchens if cookie prefect did not go and eat and sit and listen like Master Head Master had said studentsies should do!
Nimma cleared her little throat.
"I have words for studentsies. A humble elf request for studentsies. Nimma and Tinka and Pips and Quirly and other elves have all worked very very hard this summer. Elf matters are important to elves and our elf matter is our Baby Elf. Our Baby Elf does not have a name, and our Baby Elf does not like names that Nimma and other elves have chosen! Nimma asks students respectfully to help Nimma and other elves name our Baby Elf. Nimma would please invite students to make name suggestions and Nimma and other elves shall make a big list of names and all names can be picked and chosen from a big list and studentsies can choose the name! This is a big special honor bestowed by elves, studentsies." She bowed furiously. "Nimma thanks studentsies for helping last year and Nimma would like help now too. Nimma says thank you and humbly asks for names to be put on papers and slipped under the kitchen door! Nimma thanks studentsies again! Nimma shall go now." She bowed and disapparated with a pop.
Just when Kurumi thought that perhaps Nimma hadn't heard the Headmaster announce that she should speak, there the little house elf was with a very important announcement. Pips had told Kurumi last term that house elves were not able to name themselves, so a witch or wizard had to do it - so it was no wonder that the little elf didn't like anything they came up with. Kurumi had given the little guy a name on a whim, mostly for herself because she didn't want to keep calling him an it or simpy baby house elf. Hmm, she was going to have to think this one over a bit more.
Before Kurumi could ask Nimma if she really needed help babysitting, the elf was gone, most likely back to the kitchens.
