Pushing her curly blond hair out of her face, Winnie pushed open the door of the prefect's compartment. To be perfectly honest (and Winnie was nothing if not brutally so) she was TERRIFIED to be back at Hogwarts as a prefect for her fifth term. What would be expected of her? It was bad enough with OWLs approaching at the speed of the Knight Bus, but these new responsibilities of hers...it'd probably be weird at best. She was quite content to hide in the dungeons over a simmering cauldron of whatever she'd made up that week, with... maybe...a tall, nice-smelling, nice-haired sort of male...boy...person. That is, if she saw him at all, and she hadn't since that day in Diagon Alley.

But anyway. For this newfangled prefect's compartment business, and the badge that was burning a hole on her lapel, Winnie was wholly unprepared. And when Winnie was unprepared, Winnie TALKED.

"Hi hullo how is everyone did you all have a good summer I'm Winnie I'm in Gryffindor have we met...everyone?" She looked around the car and rummaged inside herself for her Stunning Smile, and hitched it up hastily on her face.

Or, she grinned a maniacal sort of way.
