"Wow, you got made Prefect?", Ron exclaimed. He was trying his hardest to keep his face straight and said, "You and Percy can found a club, Prefects Only". This was too much for Ron and he burst out laughing. Hermione gave him a very cold look and sat down.

"For your information, I don't like Percy and I'm nothing like him", Hermione said through gritted teeth.

"Congratulations Hermione", Harry said, giving Ron a-don't-mock-your- friend look.

This silenced Ron and he said, "Yeah Congratulations".

"What, they made a mudblood like you Prefect?" Harry, Ron and Hermione turned around and saw Draco and Devillin Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle standing behind them. Devillin sniggered and Crabbe and Goyle looked stupidly at them.

"Ten points from Slytherian for insulting a Prefect and I'll make it twenty if you keep it up", Hermione said coolly. The two Malfoy's looked at her coldly and walked back to the Slytherian table.

"Wow that was amazing Hermione!", Ron exclaimed grinning. Hermione blushed and looked pleased with herself.

"I'm sorry if I laughed at you", Ron said slowly.

"Its alright Ron. I forgive you", Hermione replied smiling.

Dumbledore got up and said, "Prefects please lead your houses to your common rooms".

Hermione got up importantly and called all the first years to her and led them out of the Great Hall.

"She was made to be a Prefect", Ron said. He and Harry grinned and followed Hermione out the Hall.
