Private message to Professor Sinistra
Apr. 26th, 2012 12:15 pmI've been thinking about what you said, and I think I would rather be a YPL counsellor than take a chance on Professor Slughorn making me a Prefect.
First of all, I'm not sure he actually would. I think he's more likely to choose Daphne or Pansy regardless.
But also -- well, it's nice that he has so much faith in me (at least hypothetically) but I'm not sure I'd be a very successful prefect. I think I would be an excellent YPL counsellor.
Finally, the YPL has given me a lot of opportunities to meet people and I think in terms of my future prospects, contacts will get me further than being able to say that I was once a Prefect.
(I understand that you might yet look at applications and give the position to someone else, but I wanted to let you know that I'm still very interested in the position, even knowing that it would close off the option of becoming prefect.)
