Laying low sucked. Darren was bored out of his mind. He couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t do any Auror stuff plus he couldn’t start any trouble. Darren knew he should probably get a job to pay for his apartment but that had to wait. He wasn’t even close to being broke yet. Today he needed to get some groceries which meant he could go out and not be as bored. But the one problem with that was he forgot how annoying people could be. From the crying toddler to the old lady walking way too slow they were all ungodly annoying.

Darren had successfully bought all his groceries without arguing with anyone. That was a win in his book. As he walked the ravenclaw graduate continued to mind his own business, all he wanted to do was get to his so called ‘home’ and enjoy his life peacefully. But he never got his way. A strong force hit him in the side causing Desoto to stumble forward. As he stumbled a single apple dropped to the damp pavement making a soft thud. The man slowly picked it up and turned around to see someone that had stumbled back looking at him with a shocked expression. He narrowed his eyes and mumbled “typical.” With that he gave no mind to the other person and went to walk away.

Duran was so happy that he was picked to be a prefect! But the sad thing is he never realized how hard it would be. Sure he knew some students would cooperate but it seemed much worse for him. With Duran skipping two grades and his rather small size most kids ignored him and whenever he would try to direct them in the right direction they would most likely just push him to the side. Well that won’t be happening anymore.

The day was going pretty well until Duran ran into a fifth year picking on a first year and taking the younger student’s book away from him. The interaction between Duran and the fifth year wasn’t that bad! Of course Duran had to raise his voice louder than he hoped but it worked! “William you are a fifth year picking on a first year. Do you realize how bad that sounds?! This is not the first time you have done this. Twenty-five points from Hufflepuff.” With that William rolled his eyes “Why do I have to listen to you? You’re like as big as him.” The fifth year pointed to the first year. Duran tilted his head and glared at him “Okay fine. Thirty. Would you like to keep racking up points or would you like to say sorry to Billy over there and walk away?” After an inaudible mumble the older student shuffled over and apologized to the younger student. “Okay. You can go now…Also If I see this type of behavior again there will be much worse consequences.” With that the fifth year dragged his feet away. Duran turned around to see a small crowd form from the commotion “Okay! Shows over! Come on getting moving!”

Doug let out a whine under his breath. He slumped low in his seat, head lolling across the top of the back rest, and sighed the biggest sigh his lungs could carry. His legs kicked an erratic rhythm under the table as Doug fixed his gaze on the person behind him, screwing and unscrewing his nose as he did so.

“Hi there,” Doug whispered. He had to be quiet, super-super sneaky so he didn’t get caught. “My name is Doug and I am bored. What are you doing? Can I do it too?”
