Prefects

I strongly believe that Harry will be made a prefect in the next book.
Everything seems to happen to Harry, because we, as readers, spend our time
looking over his shoulder.  If he is not made a prefect, then it will be
harder for us to find out what prefects actually do.  I agree with the
person/people who said that Malfoy would be made a prefect, and that Harry
not correspondingly becoming one would upset the balance of power -- imagine
all the points that would be taken from Gryffindor!!!  Harry isn't exactly a
brilliant student or a model of good behaviour, but he's the most logical
choice for boy-prefect for the Gryffindor fifth year.  None of the others
(barring Ron, perhaps) have ever done very much to warrant recieving the
badge.

Alternatively, I can see Hermione being made a prefect, and Harry and Ron
spending a few happy months winding her up about it -- and her having to
take points off them for some misdeed, and falling out with them (again!).

Just my two sickles on the topic.

Hannah :)
