It also meant she could focus on her studies—privately, of course. Despite how “prestigious” everyone else thought the position to be, Nina Castillo did not care for that kind of attention. She!!! Did!!! Not!!! Want!!! To!!! Be!!! A!!! Prefect!!!!
Not at all!!!!!!
Which meant there was a perfectly good explanation as to why she was standing a few paces behind the prefects’ compartment and it had absolutely nothing to do with wanting to find out who had received a badge. AND!!! It most definitely had NOTHING to do with the fact that she wanted to know who was chosen over her. That would be preposterous because she didn’t care about having a title. She didn’t want the badge!!!! She diDN’T!
There was an actual explanation that had nothing to do with any of that stuff! And she was coming up with it.... right now, actually. Quote:

She also knew her sister had a matching one, but in yellow.
What she didn't expect to see by the prefect's compartment was one Nina Castillo. No. They did NOT make her prefect? Yes she knew Slytherin needed one, but Nina could NOT NOT NOT NOTTTTTTT be prefect. The girl with zero personality. The clingy girl. The girl who nearly knocked her over. The girl who swapped saliva with her crush. And yet there she was standing there, watching, with that judgy scowl across her expression. What did Calyx even see in her anyway??? What did Nina Castillo have that Carsyn did not???
Not a prefect badge pinned to her shirt, as Carsyn did, that was for certain. Wait. Unless.... was Calyx her co-prefect??? Is that why Nina was waiting like that?? "Can I help you with something?" She was going to take the high road here and be all nice. MMHMMMMMM. At least for the moment. Entering the train this year really was a bitter sweet moment for Ewan this year. He’d spent many a day thinking about returning to Hogwarts and now this year, he was finally returning, only to ride on the train without a lot of his friends. Sure, he’d see them as he patrolled the corridors but it wouldn’t quite be the same. When he’d returned to Canada after spending a few days with his friends this summer, the letter had already been waiting for him and boy did it knock him for six at first. If it wasn’t for his Aunt and Uncle, he may have even sent it back with a letter saying that they’d made a mistake but after lengthy conversations with them both, he finally decided to keep it.
As he entered the first carriage, he was met by what he guessed was two of his fellow prefects (Nina and Carsyn).
With a grin on his face and a somewhat unfamiliar confidence, he greeted them both “Hey Nina, Carsyn, you girls have a good summer?” Walking past the prefect’s door, he slid it open and turned back to face them both, “You girls coming in? Or are you going to stand out here like a bunch of flobberworms” holding the door open for both of them to enter like the little gentleman that he was. Truth be told, he couldn’t wait to grab one of the window seats to keep an eye out for Beth but he obviously wouldn’t ignore his fellow prefect’s too. He knew they had to walk the corridors and have a brief start-of-term meeting but that wouldn’t take all of the journey, surely? |
