Words like 'forfeit' do NOT paint a very positive picture. I am not seeking selflessness or what either of you suspects to be chivalry, my concern right now is about you two. As individuals. As leaders. As role models. NOT just for Gryffindor."

So, forgive him for not jumping up and down at your suggestions, Miss Greyvson. They were far from the point he was trying to make right now. They could discuss those things with one another. It WAS part of their roll as prefects for the house, after all.

"I'm going to ask you both to cease thinking about others for now and focus solely on yourselves," he instructed as he pushed two pieces of empty parchment towards them. "It has bee observed by myself and other professors that the both of you lack an understanding of what it is you bring to the table. Whether this is because you are too humble or your attention is too focused on other things is an answer that only you will be able to figure out, but only if you are honest with yourselves." Pieces of parchments now in front of the two, the professor leaned back in his seat and was suddenly whisked back to his days as an astronaut trainer. "On those pieces of parchment, I want you to list the things that you see as your existing leadership strengths and skills. At least 5. When you have done that...." he continued, reaching for two more pieces of parchment and slipping them towards the pair. "...you are to write another 5 strengths and skills you see your partner possessing in terms of their leadership. Understood?"



Zander was sweet really. That was the entire reason that she would have chosen to not be a prefect if it meant that he’d have kept his badge. After all the other prefects all liked Zander and that was a good thing. Still with the looks he was giving her it was clear he didn’t want her to give up her badge for him. Which was sweet but silly.

Puck nodded simply when Professor Flamsteed told her to listen. “I will be more careful with my word choice Professor,” she nodded and felt her hand tremble at the idea of writing down what made her a good leader…maybe that was the issue? Maybe she had no idea why she was put into this position but she was trying and that had to be worth something right?

If last year had taught her anything it was that…she was organized for the most part. So when Professor Flamsteed told them to write down the skills that made them good leaders she simply looked down at the parchment and squinted first. There were things of course that she was suspicious about…like the whole fact that she had tested Professor Flamsteed when he was acting like Hook and well honestly she thought he’d have thought negatively on that…but maybe that was a good thing? Not taking everything at face value and looking for confirmation on things?

Still, she would do this. It was what she had to do, even if she wanted to think about other people. Or really had to think about what other people would see in her especially Flamsteed and Headmistress Truebridge because she was only here because of them. And well, her parents…but that was a long awkward story.

Taking a quill from her bag she began to try to write down words, traits. Things that made her a good leader but nothing came at first. This was going to be hard, and interesting but hard. Once she wrote the first down though, it got easier to write them down.

SPOILER!!: the first list

What I posses:
Self-confidence
Sense of Humor in tough situations
I have a sense of integrity
I’m Matur(ing)
I’m resilient
Passionate


When she had the five things that she thought she possessed she simply looked over to Zander and squinted. What did he possess? Because they did work well together and he was kind…and she liked him as a prefect even so what were his traits? She had to think about this.

SPOILER!!: the second list

What Zander possesses:
Empathy
Conscientious
Emotional Stability
Enthusiasm
Kindness
Charismatic
He’s more confident than how he acts
Humility
Sense of Humor
Passionate
He doesn’t prescribe to the “gryffindors have to be macho” philosophy which I think is great because it means that he doesn’t do “stupid” life-threatening things to prove that he’s strong and capable.
