And thus, Quinn was in the middle of the train, where, she hoped, there was a better chance of an empty compartment to claim.

Every purposeful step caused her knew dangly earrings to sway, bring little bursts of happiness in a sea of....other people. They were silver wands that hung down from a sapphire stud. At present they were white sapphires, which looked more like diamonds than sapphires, but they were enchanted to change color according to the house she was sorted in. If Slytherin, they'd become green sapphires. If Hufflepuff (please no) they'd become yellow sapphires. If Ravenclaw, the iconic blue sapphires. And if Gryffindor, rubies. Rubies are actually red sapphires apparently.

The earrings were Daddy's apology gift for the summer. Mum's was a new broom that she couldn't take to school and was current stuffed unused in the back of her closet at home. Needless to say, Daddy won.

Oh perfect! An empty compartment! Quinn slipped in before anyone else could and shut the door. She pulled out her wand and attempted a locking spell with a sharp, decisive, "Colloportus!" There was a slight tingle in her wand hand. That meant it worked right?

Satisfied, without checking the door mind you, Quinn turned, set down her bag on one side of the compartment's seating, pulled out her book and stretched out completely on the other side's seating. Once she was comfy, she opened the book and began to read in the quiet serenity of her private compartment.
Beth Greyvson was true to her word – the small blonde had told that prefect that she would keep the corridors free for them…and she was bent on doing that. Raising her hand to her hair she quickly brushed her fingers through her hair before pulling it into a high ponytail – the kind sporty people wore…the kind she needed to wrangle all of the other first years like herself.

Maybe…could she get Quinny in on this? Wrangle some kids – make them leave people alone…and well, she’d obviously pass along those special lessons to Q. They weren’t private or anything right? Everyone needed to master that leave me alone grimace now…right?

Could she just say she tried and ignore the duties? That…that’d be okay right the guy was probably leaving after this term as is – it wasn’t like he could make her life a living hell for that long no snakes in her bed right? Still, she’d obviously bring up the idea to Quinnybear Q.

”Hey Qbert? That thing I told you about the contract should I do it or should I bag it and say ’I tried, there were just so many first years…and a nap sounded like a good start’…I mean, what d’ya think the Prefect-man can do about things?” she asked as she followed Quinn into her supposedly private compartment.

Seriously, that was the perk of being her neighbor and bestie she knew how to sneak up on her…and those sneakers she was wearing were very sneaky.
