*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

              After the introduction of the four 5th year prefects, Carli Hewitt of Ravenclaw, Don Fisher of Hufflepuff, Zalia Sinclair of Slytherin and Sean Tiller of Gryffindor, to the two Heads, the 6th year prefects, Colin Creevey of Gryffindor, Tiffany Robinson of Hufflepuff, Lee Alexander of Slytherin and Elizabeth Slater of Ravenclaw, were then introduced to the 5th year ones. Lastly, the 5th year prefects were introduced to the two 7th year prefects, Carrie Bennet of Ravenclaw and Justin Finch-Fletchy of Hufflepuff.

              "As you know, all the prefects and the two Heads will share a common room so all twelve of you will live together,"

              Looking at the worried faces of the 5th year prefects, he said, "Oh, don't worry. There will be more than enough space for all of you. After the feast, I shall show you where your quarters is," he paused. "And also, starting this year, Hogwarts will hold a Halloween Masquerade Ball. You group of people will be in charge of it. I will give you the details later after you have settled down in your quarters. All of you can go now,"

              Hermione left the compartment with Carrie. She looked uncomfortable and she was all jittery.

              "Umm…Hermione? Can I ask you a question?"

              "Yeah, sure Carrie. What is it?"

              "That guy friend of yours from the ice-cream parlour at Diagon Alley? Harry is it? Is…is he single?"

              Hermione burst out laughing.

              "You…you…" laughs "…like…" laughs "…Harry?"

              Carrie blushed and slowly nodded her head. Hermione snorted and laughed again.

              "What's wrong with that? I mean, he's cute and oh, I love his eyes! It's so green…as green as…"

              "You don't have to tell me that. I know, I am his best friend," Hermione cut her off. She laughed again. "I still…" laughs "…can't believe…" laughs "…you like Harry!"

              "Well, believe or not? I like him!" Carrie said it out loud. "Is he single?"

              "Sure he is! He's all yours! Go seduce him, girl!"

              "Hey Hermione, I don't need to seduce him! I've got all the charm any guy would bargain for!" Carrie winked and both of them laughed back to their compartments.
