He didn't unpack his things, but he did not make another move to leave either. He left his bag on the table in front of him as he considered the boy's question.

"I just don't see why they should be any more special than other people." It was promoting separation between students instead of equality. It just didn't seem fair. But he wasn't necessarily against the idea, he just didn't fully understand how it worked. Fine, he could try and understand. Try and play nice.

"What's the point of having prefects?" He honestly hoped it didn't come out sounding too...mean. It was just a question.

"You don't have to respond." Rooney hadn't pleaded with him, nor had he begged and he most definitely did not need him to answer if he didn't want to. This wasn't an interview. He was just curious. Definitely curious, because he couldn't quite understand anything that was coming out of the first years mouth.

What was the point? Why should they be more special? Rooney raised an eyebrow, something that he found himself doing a lot since he had returned to school for his second year. "They aren't any more special than any of the other students here in the castle... They're just given a sense of responsibility.. Given a choice and a say.. Why shouldn't we have something to work towards? I'd rather be homeschooled if there was nothing for me to aim for by the end of my school days." And he had no idea why this other kid thought different. Rooney wasn't at all sure that he could understand any other view about this.. Maybe it was because he'd had it in his head since he was little that he would be a prefect one day, but he most certainly couldn't come to terms with an idea that was a world without badged students.
