here’s one thing I don’t understand about Hogwarts:
how the fuck does the prefect system work?
like okay, we know they are chosen in year 5. they do it at least until the end of year 6 (unclear whether or not the prefects remain in year 7, but I’m gonna go with no because NEWTs) they are two prefects by house, a boy and a girl
and then… does every 5th year group have prefects, or is it one every two year? are there four prefects per house? I’ll go with yes, because Molly mentions being upset the Fred and George aren’t prefect, and they’re just a year above Ron
but if they are 4 prefects, why aren’t the other two ever mentioned? Hermione complained all the time about Ron not doing his share of the work, but were the other two just off somewhere and never helped? who are they???
anyway. i don’t understand the system, but if I did: those two other prefects really weren’t doing their share huh
Fuck JKR
