" [color=00a99d]It would probably ruin all of the fun if you get picked as a Prefect in your 5th year. I can tell you that one of our jobs is to escort the first years to the dorms. The Gryffindor's are my responsibility again this year, and I just hope that last years events don't repeat themselves; because I'm pretty sure that some of the portraits are still in shock about that boy who almost fell over the railing on the stairs.[/color] "

That bloody idiot had been waving to his friend who'd ended up in Ravenclaw and leaned a little too far over the railing. Let's just say that he was lucky that Elijah had such quick reflexes and wand skills.

" [color=00a99d]Believe me, that bloke I cursed [i]hates[/i] pink. On the first day of my 5th year when I attended the first meeting, he said that anyone who dared touch his things or turn something pink would get a nasty curse thrown their way. He hasn't made good on that threat yet, and I'm waiting to see just what kind of tricks he's got. As for classes, first years have a strict curriculum that they have to follow, while the 2nd-7th years get to pick electives and other things. 5th years take exams called O.W.L's and their scores on those exams determine what classes they can take in their 6th year. I'm in N.E.W.T level Herbology and Potions, but pretty much all the rest of my classes are still at O.W.L. level. I'm not complaining though, because those two were the ones I needed for my future occupation.[/color] " 

Pausing in his words long enough to scold Joseph, he turned his attention back to Raven. 

" [color=00a99d]Magic is pretty much an everyday thing at Hogwarts, and you get to practice as much as you want. Just don't try to turn water into rum. It doesn't end well. Any other questions?[/color] "
