Leander picked at the remnants of his breakfast — all that was left on the plate was a torn up pancake and a few bites of sausage — pushing them around with his fork as he pored over his class schedule. It was getting a bit late for the meal, as evidenced by the tables not being quite as packed as they had been an hour previous and the mingling of the houses as friends from different houses decided to move and sit together regardless of affiliation.

Charms is first, Leander thought, a smile spreading across his face at seeing that on his schedule. Charms was his favourite subject, and having the NEWT-level class certainly helped with when the Fiddling Flitwicks met up and tinkered with the spells.

‘You’re an outstanding, bright and talented young witch, Miss. Larkin. We hope you’ll accept the position as Head Girl, and represent the student body to the best of your ability.’ The words rang through her head, as she stood before her prefects. Head high, hair pinned back in a strict pony tail, Selena’s ‘lucky cream colored headband’ was a clear contrast against her dark, silky locks. The Hogwarts Express had just begun it’s trip for the year back, and although Selena was excited for the opportunity to prove her worth, she’d be lying if she said her new position hadn’t gone to her head. She was the embodiment of conceit, a boisterous member of the bourgeois everybody loved to hate. However, the opinions of other’s meant nothing to Selena, it was the deep pessimism she had for her future that made her want to achieve and succeed; whether she was ready, or not. “So.” Selena cleared her throat, as she prepared herself. “I would just like to take the opportunity to introduce myself for those who don’t know me, I’m Selena Larkin and I’m one of the two Head Girls that will be representing the student body this year, it’s honestly a pleasure to be working with you all, and I can already tell we’re going to make this an amazing year.”
