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.

She glanced over her shoulder at her brother to see if he was even listening to a word she was saying. Not that she would mind finding an empty compartment though where they could be joined by their friends or well her friends? Uh... his friends? Yeah, she wasn't even sure. Most of her friends that came to visit over the summer had met him so they were now his friends too, right?

There was a compartment just up ahead with the door open just a bit. Someone was no doubt inside by the quiet voices she could hear coming from within. Time to find out who. Rylee gave a light knock first before sliding the door open more and peering inside. "Hello," she smiled greeting the two girls inside, both she didn't recognize at all. "Mind if we join you?" It couldn't hurt to make new friends.
"Gah!" Quinn nearly tumbled off the bench from the start. Her eyes locked onto Beth and narrowed. "I am so sticking a bell on you." Or maybe a ticking clock inside her like the crocodile! Oh....yes, she liked that even better. Let's see how sneaky she can be ticking all the time. Wait a......Qbert? Q was one thing, but Qbert? "Right," she grabbed her wand, "I'm hexing you, hold still."

And then....and then the door opened! And a bright eager face popped in, with another face in tow. Quinn shot one of her amazingly withering glares at Beth - with extra wither, even! This was clearly all Beth's fault. She had disrupted the locking spell, which totally worked by the way until her neighbor happened. It was all Beth's fault.

"Yes." Quinn kept her voice flat and went back to her book now that that was all taken care of. Too bad for Quinn, just saying 'yes,' is a bit ambiguous and can be interpreted as 'yes, I mind,' which is how she meant it, or 'yes, you may join us,' which tends to be how most people interpret it. Clearly, if the interlopers didn't get it right, that'd be all Beth's doing too.
