returning to reality

"Oh Ronnie-kins! I am so proud of you!" Mrs Weasley gushed over her son, pinching his cheeks,  "My boy is prefect!" Electra rolled her eyes, whilst munching her cereal and reading her book. It was expected that Hermione Granger would get prefect, but they were all shocked to discover Ron was appointed too.

"I need to send a letter to my parents! They'll be thrilled!" Hermione exclaimed, scribbling quickly on a piece of parchment.

"And so they should be," Molly smiled. "This badge is a label of hard work and perseverance," she adjusted the prefect badge onto Ron's clothing. Both him and Hermione now sporting the badges, despite not being in Hogwarts robes and Electra felt like she was going to throw up.

"Really?" Electra began in a sarcastic confusion. "I thought it was just a title to give to all the wet wipes of the class," Fred, George and Harry gave small chuckles, whilst Hermione looked up from her letter with a scowl. "I mean, they might as well put 'Ass Licker' on the badges. Especially yours Hermione."  she couldn't help but let out a small smirk, teasing them made her so happy. Surprisingly Hermione kept quiet, clearly she had decided that biting her tongue from now on was the best way forward.

"I still don't understand how Harry didn't get prefect," George questioned, which they were all thinking. Harry just shrugged his shoulders, trying to hide his own annoyance and jealousy.

"Yes, that was quite surprising," Electra spoke up again, sarcasm dripping from every word, "But then again I thought they gave these things to the smarter students, but that can't be right. I mean Ron got one for Merlin's sake!"

"Hey!" Ron called defensively over the sounds of his brothers and Harry's laughter. He soon joined in the laughter, until it was just Hermione left scowling. For once Electra was getting on with the Gryffindor's, even if she was still making spiteful remarks to them; they found it funny.

"That's not true, Electra. You're just being deliberately cruel." she spat at Electra.

"Come on, 'Mione. We all can agree that Ron's thick as shit," Fred chuckled, with the nodding approval from the others.

"Yeah, Hermione. Don't be such a wet wipe," Electra chanted childishly, enjoying the attention for once. Yet she was interrupted by an owl flying in, dropping a letter in front of her. The familiar stamp of Hogwarts sparked everyone's interest and they all immediately knew what it was. Electra flared her nostrils in anger and embarrassment, she looked up and saw the others scoffing, struggling to hold in their laughs.

"No fucking way!" Fred laughed. Electra ripped open the envelope, hastily unfolded the letter. And there it was in lettering. Exactly what she expected. She tossed the paper across the table and crossed her arms and sucked her teeth. Pissed. Off.

"HHAHAHHAHAHAHHHA" the twins roared, Hermione, Harry and Ron laughed along with them. Electra's own joke had come back to bite her in the ass and she was not happy about it.

"What was that Travers? I don't think Hermione's the only wet wipe around here," George laughed as he pulled out the prefect badge from the envelope and wiggled it in her face.

"Har Har. Very funny." she snapped, a permanent scowl printed on her.

"Nah put it on!" Harry teased. "Look it even says 'Biggest Bumlick', how perfect!" she shook her head with a smile and chuckle. How the FUCK did she get prefect?

***

So there they were, stood on Platform 9¾ again, indicating the start of another school year. The platform was packed, full of students saying their last goodbyes to their parents. Electra let out a deep sigh and turned around to say farewell to her father for another year.
