Benedict couldn't help but laugh with his friend. "A disturbance in the library you say? Perhaps we should make haste there before anyone damages our favourite books!" he raised his eyebrows in jest. Prefect duty was even less exciting that the professors had sold it, but at least it was easy and it was in fact fairly relaxing to take a walk at night in unusual places. He wondered why he might find Millie alone, but as the light from their wands danced on her face he avoid questioning lady fate just in case she had a change of heart and stole away this oppurtunity.

They began walking in time as they chatted, Benedict nodded to her question. "Yeah, I have her in classes. I haven't made my mind up on her yet. I suppose she seems quite capable, unusual though." he added. The woman did seem strange but in their world, what was normal, and it wasnt really his manner to be casting judgements on the peculiar visage of their professors. "I was surprised to see a goblin teaching though, I think he does arithmancy, not a class I'm in." he shrugged as they rounded the next corner on their patrol.

He was glad to hear that she missed him too, at least that was the assumption he made because that was exactly what he meant when he told her classes weren't the same. But he felt sad that she still doubted herself so much, didn't the fact that she picked as a prefect reinforce how the professors thought of her? "Maybe? But I dont think so. You need to give yourself more credit." as they walked along he found himself reaching down nearly involuntarily to put her hand into his and squeeze it in a reassuring gesture. "You are so smart and are a really great witch, the staff clearly agree too." he said warmly before going quiet. If she didn't pull her hand away as they continued, neither would he.
