He just didn't have an interest in any of it.

He shrugged. It wasn't like this kid was trying to convince him to be totally on board with the idea of prefects. Which was good, because that would be a losing battle. But Oliver wasn't trying to convince the boy of the opposite either. If he wanted to be a prefect, good for him.

"But there are only two prefects per house at a time. So obviously not everyone who wants to be a prefect can be one. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be suited for the job but they can't all get it. Which means that some people who are looking forward to a position like that are just going to end up disappointed." Which wasn't fair.

It was a good goal to have, he supposed. It gave students who believed in the idea a reason to work hard and act appropriately. But it couldn't end well for everyone.

So..he had a point. Rooney nodded and considered how he would approach responding to the fact the Slytherin FINALLY had a valid point. Surprisingly. "Sometimes three. Sometimes there are two prefects and a Head Boy or Girl. Only some years, though." But there were a lot more than three students in each house that probably deserved the position and sometimes.. Rooney bet that they were more deserving than those that did receive a badge. Actually...... Rooney grabbed for a yearbook and flicked through it in hunt of something important.

Aha!

"Did you know that the Head Girl wasn't Prefect to begin with?" Well, someone else had been made Prefect, and then she took over. Probably because she was better suited for the job. Roo was certain of that, at least.

"I think that those deserving of the position are humble enough to.. accept if someone else deserved it too..." Or so he was going to continue telling himself in case he didn't get a badge like he wanted to.
