Hearing the Headmistresses voice, Kate turned and took note of what was going on around her. There was a house elf here, and it just looked like everybody else was taking notes. Kate tried to turn back to her own notes, but the house elf stole somebody's chocolate frog and took off, earning a light laugh from Kate and proving that you really do only live once. So...not all elves were happy to give away sweets. Some of them liked the treats for themselves. Well, good for them. The prefect should have just let the elf have the fun.

Kate looked back to her parchment and re-read what she had down.
