Prefect year. Holy Merlin's Beard with sprinkles.

Noelle smoothed her dress. One that her mom made her wear. She was not a dress kind of person unless it was to a formal event. Her summer was spent in shorts and baggy pants. Especially when she was running. But her mom thought it was necessary since she was starting the term as a prefect. Ugh. She was so uncomfortable.

She gave her mom a goodbye and told her to tell her dad and her siblings to be good. Noelle headed onto the train, a new nervousness spreading through her. It kind of felt like her first time on the train. She felt like eyes were on her when none were. She felt unconfident, which... was new for her.

Taking a deep breath, Noelle headed for the Prefect's compartment. She was used to sitting in the middle of the train with her group of friends, but this year was already totally different. She didn't have Hady or Az. And now, she couldn't sit with Noah. And who else was going to be in the compartment? All the questions.

Slipping into the compartment, she smiled small and gave a wave at the two that were already in there. One person she knew. She let out a breath of relief. "Hi!" She said, trying to sound like her confident old self, but failing slightly. Her eyes fell on the cookies. Oh, why hadn't she brought something for everyone????
