She...wondered if she should tell him what she was about to say but thought better of it and let him continued.

His expression told her he'd taken her story serious enough so now it was a matter of waiting...and waiting and...--Op! THERE we go. The most conning sweetest of smiles spread across her face. He'd finally done it. He'd basically told her to forget not being allowed to hex.

"I'll gladly put the badge back on Professor." It's like she wanted to tell the Headmistress, she didn't plan to not prefect though she did want to show the Professor that his words had consequences but of course you don't get half as many compliments when people know you're being spiteful. The fact he told her to burn a book if she must said he'd learned well. "And I'm glad you agree it's a stupid badge too." The smile slipped into a grin.

She was sold on the idea of wearing her badge the moment Bunz told her she'd let a book beat her but she wouldn't rob Collarbin of the chance to convince her himself and you know what? The whole burning the book did the trick. "You're welcome to the lighting ceremony if you'd like." He could watch the burning too. Did she think she was above rules? No. But it was sometimes easier prefecting when you forgot them.
