"I'll go get us a chest," she said as she headed towards the front of the room. After all, she was anxious to see if there was candy hidden in there, and the young Ravenclaw was super-excited to get a partner that she didn't have to seek out herself.
Oops, she didn't even know Mr. Prefect's name and she was certain he didn't know hers either. Calling over her shoulder as she walked up to Ashby's desk, she said, "I'm Mariel, by the way." She'd find out his name as soon as she got back. Choosing one of the small chests, the 13 year old brought it back to her partner.
Cale grinned. "Ok, great! I'm Cale, Cale Newell," he told her when she introduced herself. He hadn't realized till now just how little she was in comparison to him--she must be a younger student. He examined the box she brought back. He couldn't actually remember the last time he had practiced this spell. Turning to his partner, he sighed and gave her a friendly smile. "So, do you want to try first?" he offered.
