Chris then laughed when she saw his badge and asked if he was a Prefect. "Oh I must not have told you before. But yeah I am the male Prefect for the Gryffindor House. This term would be my second year of the job, because last term was my first school year in the position." he nodded. "I am glad I was picked by my Head of House to be a prefect, because I absolutely love to help people. Like today for example, I have met and tried to help out as many first years and new students as I can. I just am happy to help others. Another good thing is you get to work with some really great people from each house. My fellow Gryffindor Prefect last term was a great friend and really showed me the ropes. So now it's my turn to do the same for my new Partner." he said happily.
"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far?" he asked her excited to hear her first opinion of the school. "I mean for the limited area of it you have seen so far. You will love Gryffindor Tower by the way." he added with a grin.
LouAnn nodded and sort of half-smiled when Chris assured her he was alright. She couldn't imagine how she, as the new kid, would have felt if it had been her Peeves had chosen to play a joke on. She'd probably have to get used to the antics of the Poltergeist sooner or later, though, as she knew it'd be nearly impossible to escape Peeves forever. "I'm glad, then. Does he do this sort of thing often?" she asked him.
LouAnn was happy to hear that Chris was one of the Gryffindor house prefects. It'd help to know at least one of the prefects personally, since she was so new to the school. "Oh, remember, you said you'd show me around once we got to Hogwarts," she said, suddenly remembering what they'd talked about in Diagon Alley. "I'm going to hold you to that, you know." She laughed lightly, showing that she was only joking with him. If he wanted to show her around, that was perfectly fine, but she wouldn't hold him to it if he got busy.
LouAnn glanced around the Great Hall, stopping to stare at the enchanted ceiling for a few moments before replying to Chris' last question. "Oh, I'm loving it here! I really hope I get to stay here and graduate from Hogwarts in a few years," she remarked. She knew she probably
wouldn't graduate from Hogwarts, but it was nice to hope, at least. She started to ask Chris another question when she was distracted by something going on at the staff table.

Performance time? Indeed.

ooc: Your attention please, this is what is happening at the Staff Table!
Kazimeriz turned to Maximus.
"I think that gives them the proper finish, do you agree?" He smiled and turned, taking the orator's position at the podium.
The wings of the great owl spread open, signaling that the Deputy Headmaster was about to speak. He raised his wand, lowering the lights in the hall except for on the dais. The stage was set, and the ancient showman raised his arms dramatically.
"YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! Before we call the feast to a close, we have a bit of special entertainment for you tonight. Third years Hufflepuff Willie Crocker and his co-hort, Slytherin Cameron Karsten, have behaved most reprehensibly tonight. They have disrupted the feast and impacted the first impression of this school for our many new students. We want you all to be aware that this sort of selfish behavior is intolerable at Hogwarts."
"In fact, so ashamed are these two boys of their foolish actions, that they will be performing an improvised song and dance routine to win your forgiveness. If you feel their performance is worthy of your forgiveness, you need merely applaud or cheer for them. If not, you may show your very vocal disapproval. Their future-- no, their very fate is in your hands."
With that, he raised his wand and strains of the muggle song
I'm Sorry started to play through the hall.
"It's showtime, folks!" Kazimeriz said, turning and smirking at the boys.
"You're on."
As an afterthought, he transfigured their shoes into tap shoes to give their 'act' a bit of extra pizazz.
He stepped back, standing by Max.
LouAnn spun around in her seat and listened as one of the professors, an older man she hadn't been introduced to yet, explained that the two boys who'd decorated the Great Hall in poo were about to do a song and dance routine. LouAnn laughed a little, then paid close attention to the front of the room. Her first day at Hogwarts was turning out to be one adventure after another! Just then, a slow song that sounded as if it had been recorded back when her grandparents' great-grandparents were alive sounded throughout the Great Hall. Had LouAnn been made to do that, that would have been the single most embarrassing moment of her entire life! She made a mental note to herself right then and there that she's try her absolute hardest to stay out of trouble. Then again, trouble always seemed to follow her wherever she went. Not necessarily trouble, but rather...bad luck.
