Wondering why her friend was talking so loud, Wesley looked up, and, as she listened, grinned. Sarah was so nice and brave. Nice to say hello to everybody, brave to say it in front of everybody. Sarah even had good man-

WAIT! Eyebrows lifting and eyes wide, Wesley stared blindly for a few minutes, letting the words sink in, then, blinking, searched. For the shiny badge.

Sure enough, there it was, blinking in the candlelight.

Shock turning into explosive happiness the 13-year-old started to clap. But then she realized no one else was clapping. And she stopped.

Face hot with redness, Wesley hunched up her shoulders, and like a turtle, receded into her robes, returned her gaze to her plate. Maybe, if she was lucky, nobody noticed.

But obviously, somebody did, because she was grabbed round the shoulders in a sweeping motion. Preparing to excuse herself to the ladies room before any accusations could be named, she turned to face the person, and her worried frown lit into a smile.

"SAR-I mean...uhhhh...Prefect Sarah!" she exclaimed happily, then, bursting with words, managed to listen as the older girl spoke.

"Oh, I'm doing pretty good. Except," she frowned, "My flitterbloom isn't." It was a long story that had to do with water, a fehu rune, and a dirty carpet, but that wasn't important right now. What was important was Sarah, "I know, you must have been in the prefect's compartment," she whispered the words with reverence, "Because- you're a PREFECT!" beginning to bounce in her seat, Wesley continued, picking up speed, "That's so GREAT!! When'd you find out? Isitscary? Howoftendoyouhavetocleanyourbadge? Whatdoyougettodo? Haveyouhadtoputanybodyintimeoutyet?"

This was even better than Butterbeer Ice Cream!

But at that thought, the tiny girl's glow dimmed. Eyes filled with worry, she spoke again,"Oh wait- S-Prefect Sarah, am I allowed to ask you questions, or are they secrets?" Wesley would never want Sarah to break the secrets of Prefectdom. That would be the worst.

Sarah just waited.

Waited for the information to sink into her friends brain.

Then would come the verbal explosion.She just knew it.

Sitting with her elbow resting on the table, Sarah laughed as Wesley addressed her. "Wesley!" she admonished her, playfully poking her in the arm. "You don't need to be formal with me, just Sarah will be fine.Same as always.Just don't go getting into any trouble...." she added with a whisper and a wink, leaning into her friends ear to say it.

Hang on.What's a Flitterbloom? Sarah was pondering that when Wesley suddenly let rip with her excitement.The word PREFECT ringing in her ears, Sarah held onto the table as the bench began to shake with Wesley's bouncing.She was so excited that her friend was so excited, unfortunately that always seemed to affect the young girls ability to speak properly.And so it happened: The funny babbling that Sarah had to try and understand and respond to.Truthfully, though...she loved it.

"Calm down!" she laughed, placing a hand on Wesley's shoulder and patting her. "Would you like me to answer them in order? Hehe.1: I found out about 4 weeks ago.2: Yes it is scary.3: Not that often it seems, they stay quite shiny.4: We have to make sure no-one is causing any trouble, patrol the castle and such, reporting anything untoward to the Professors.And 5: Nearly.There was an incident on the train with some Slytherin's and a Gryffindor.Name calling and that, nothing else though....yet." Sarah had been counting them all out on her fingers as she went to make sure that she got them all.And now she stopped to take breath.It wasn't just Wesley who could take alot.

Her smile faltered a little as the look on Wesley's face changed.Just about to ask her what was wrong, Sarah was relieved to find it was nothing more than worry over her questions. "Don't worry," she assured her. "I've not been told to keep quiet about anything yet.And I'm sure I won't get in trouble for answering your questions." Smiling, she leant forward and poured herself some pumpkin juice.Having had nothing to drink for the entire train journey, Sarah's lips were starting to stick together.

"So, who did you speak to on the train?" she asked casually, raising the goblet to her lips to take a sip.
