But not today. A little ahead of her, she noticed a couple of kids standing together. Assuming that they were either enjoying a moment as friends or else a romantic couple, she resolved to move on without interfering. As she got nearer, she could see that both of them were first years - a little young for romance in her opinion, so she took another look. It quickly became apparent to her that these two were far from friends as curses started flying. A fight.

Quickly, she pushed in between them. "That's enough," she said loudly. "No magic in the corridors. Wands away, please." She felt uncomfortable issuing this much authority. She was no prefect. But she adopted the voice that she has heard her mother use often. "The two of you need to put yourselves above whatever childish nonsense has happened and you need to do it now." She stood with her arms crossed, watching the first years carefully for any sign of further violence.
