Can’t Wait

A/N #1: This is not part of my Celestial Ball series. It is what I like to call a brain fart, which is an idea I know is stupid/silly, but it won’t leave my head until I write it. I could write it and not publish it but as some people might enjoy it, I decided to publish it. I suggest you listen to this song...

------------------------------

As Alice entered the common room after completing another task her prefect had given her, she saw him standing in the middle of the room, looking around, nostalgic.

"Oh, Alice. I was just looking around the common room. I'm going to miss our little reading nook when I graduate Hogwarts," he said as he saw her entering the common room and walking toward him.

"And all of Ravenclaw will miss you, but... why did you give me all those lessons?" asked Alice, raising an eyebrow.

"You still don't know? Come on. Surely you have an idea what I want you to do," replied Chester, smiling.

"To give me house points?" suggested Alice.

"Good guess, but no. Unfortunately, prefects can take away points from their own house, but not give any. I gave you all those lessons because I want you to become a prefect. I think you'd be incredible. I want you to be prepared when the time comes. I'm going to put in a good word with Dumbledore and Flitwick. I'll tell them you would make an excellent prefect," said Chester, beaming.

"Thanks, but... Me? Like, seriously? The one student who has broken countless rules. The one student who told Dumbledore countless times that she would stop looking for the vaults and then did exactly the opposite? Did you hit your head on something? Dumbledore and Flitwick will laugh you out of the Headmaster's office," said Alice, staring at her prefect.

"You have saved the school many times and gained my house points for your house. I believe in you, Alice. I think you will be an amazing prefect," replied Chester, placing a hand on her shoulder with a caring smile.

"Yeah, Alice. Imagine how great you'll be as a prefect. A prefect who cares more about the welfare of the school instead of one who accuses people of hiding dungbombs in Filch's office," said Tulip, getting up from a nearby couch.

"Karasu, what are you doing here?" said Chester, staring at her suspiciously.

"None of your business," replied Tulip, leaning over Alice's shoulder. "Just imagine. You'll have more freedom to roam the school as you look for the vaults. Also, the power you'll have. Curse-Breaker and prefect? People will be eating out the palm of your hand. You'll be the queen of Hogwarts."

"Queen?" said Alice, her eyes lightening up.

"Don't listen to her," started saying Chester.

"Just imagine..." whispered Tulip in Alice's ear.

"I'm gonna be a mighty queen. So enemies, beware," started singing Alice.

"What? No! Tulip!" exclaimed Chester, glaring at Tulip.

"I've never seen a prefect who broke so many rules," said Talbott, looking up from his book.

"I'm gonna be the main event like no queen was before. I'm brushing up on looking down. I'm working on my ROAR!" kept singing Alice.

"You are aware we are Ravenclaws," replied Talbott, rolling his eyes before returning to his book.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!" sang Alice.

"You've rather a long way to go, Alice. If you think..." started saying Chester as Alice and Tulip stormed out of the common room.

"No one saying, 'Do this,'" sang Alice as she skipped along the corridor with her friend.

"Now when I said that, I―" said Chester, running after the two young Ravenclaws.

"No one saying, 'Be there,'" chimed in Tulip, smiling at Alice.

"What I meant was―" tried saying Chester, still running.

"No one saying, 'Stop that'," sang Alice.

"Look, what you don't realize―" said Chester, finding it hard to keep up with them.

"No one saying, 'See here'," sang Alice and Tulip in unison.

"Now, see here!" exclaimed Chester, leaning against a wall, breathless.

"Free to run around all day," sang Alice, looking back at Chester as he pushed himself off the wall.

"Well, that's definitely out―" said Chester as he started to go after them again.

"Free to do it all my way!"

Alice and Tulip separated into two different corridors, both heading for the grand staircase. As they ran, other students started to follow them, wondering what was going on. As Chester arrived in the stairways, he saw Alice on a staircase opposing his own with some of her friends.

"I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart," sang Chester.

"Queens don't need advice from former prefects for a start," replied Alice, showing Chester the palm of her hand, looking away from.

"If this is where this witchcraft school is headed, count me out! Out of service, out of Scotland! I wouldn't hang about! This child is getting wildly out of hand," sang Chester, throwing his arms up in the air.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!" sang Alice, sliding down a ramp before running down the remaining stairs with her friends.

All the students followed Alice and Tulip unto the Clocktower Courtyard, where Alice climbed on the ledge of the fountain.

"Everybody look left. Everybody look right. Everywhere you look I'm... standing in the spotlight," sang Alice, wrapping her arm around one of the fountain's column as she leaned over the students.

"Not yet!" exclaimed Chester.

"Let every student go for broke and sing. Let's hear it at Hogwarts and everywhere. It's gonna be Queen Alice's finest fling!" sang the students in the courtyard.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!" sang Alice, jumping on top of the crowd.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!" Alice crowd-surfed toward Chester.

"Oh, I just can't wait... To be queen!" finished singing Alice, landing in front of her prefect.

As the students started to disperse, returning to what they were doing, Tulip ran toward Alice. She stood next to her as they faced Chester, who was fuming.

"What was that all about?! Being a prefect doesn't give you all the powers in the school. As a prefect, you'll have to become a role model to your fellow Ravenclaws. I hope you remember that when the time comes," said Chester before storming back in the castle.

"Wait, does that mean he still intends to suggest me as a prefect?" asked Alice, staring at the back of the Ravenclaw prefect, eyes wide.

"Seems like it," said Tulip, shrugging.

"I think he needs to go see Madam Pomfrey," said Alice, making Tulip laugh as they walked back inside.

A/N #2: I’m such a Disney nerd! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. I actually got the idea for that fic not long I had finished the “Farewell My Prefect” side quest. Can you just imagine 13 years old MC being told by the prefect who has always told her to win house points and not lose them, that now he sees her as a future prefect. She’s 13. She’s probably thinking at this point that either something is wrong with her prefect, or that no matter what she does, she’ll get away with it. In her head, “get away with everything” + “prefect” = QUEEN! And while Tulip is not in the side quest, I can just imagine her acting as that little devil on her shoulder doing that equation for her. This story was based on the prompt “Fav Prefect” from @yantarnii 2018 Inktober challenge.
