Great exercise for life, thank you Hogwarts. "Hey! Janelle right? Want to partner up?" he smiled kindly down at her.
Janelle was beginning to think that she was going to remain partnerless .........again. Everyone seemed to have already paired up, but she continued to search for someone who was still solo. Janelle was about two seconds from standing on her desk and shouting out for a partner. Fortunately, she didn't have to take such drastic measures.
Just in the nick of time, she was saved. And who was her hero, you might ask? It was none other than the Ravenclaw Prefect, Benzi. She couldn't believe her luck. A
prefect was asking to be
her partner...........not just any prefect........
her Prefect and he was a seventh year to boot. Janelle guessed that the saying, "Good things come to those who wait", was true.
Looking up at her partner to be, Janelle said,
"Absolutely". Too eager? Trying to tone her enthusiasm down a bit, she added,
"I'd like to be your partner." Knowing that there was only one way this pairing could possibly work, she decided to test Benzi's sense of humor.
"So, do you want to give me a ride or would you like to hop on my shoulders?" Amazingly, Janelle was able to keep a straight face.......for a second.
