One by one the compartment filled up with the prefects and Head people of this term. Noelle grinned at each person as they came in. Noelle grinned at Ace as he sang her name. "Hey Ace!' She smiled warmly and looked from him to Etta. She was about to introduce them when Etta proudly told Ace she was the new Hufflepuff prefect. "I'm.... ready." Noelle told Etta to answer the question about how she felt. She was hesitant... but only because Hogwarts always seemed to have a surprise in store.

She waved at Henry, Kitty, Rula as they came in and greeted them with warm smiles. She'd seen almost everyone over summer but it was good to see everyone. She listened as everyone told stories of their summers.

Olly was next in and Noelle beamed proudly at that prefect badge on his chest. She was also glad he took a seat beside her. She took his hand out of habit.

Rooney, the new head boy came in last. It wasnt a huge surprise that he was Head Boy. He had a good head on his shoulder in times of trouble. She smiled in welcome to him and listened at his speech. She nodded at what he was saying, already hearing hushed whispers of worried parents while on the platform.

But this term was going to be one of the best. It had to be.
