'I dunno though, I think I'm still better looking,' said Fred, examining his reflection in the kettle.

"Oh, are you a prefect, Percy?" said one of the twins, with an air of great surprise. "You should have said something, we had no idea."

"A minute-"
"All summer-"
"Oh, shut up," said Percy the Prefect.
