9. defense against the dark arts
Arms folded across their chests, the two men loomed over their daughters. Kurumi and Selina, dressed in their best dress robes, sat very still on the sofa.
"They are the worst sort of creatures," Charles said, speaking on behalf of both men.
"Perhaps even worse than dark creatures," Jake winced.
"But..." Kurumi protested.
"Nope, we know, we were that age once." Charles retorted.
"That is why you will be taking these with you to the Yule Ball."
"Pepper spray?" Selina asked, taking the object from her father's hands.
"Your best defense is to have a good offense," Charles nodded.
The girls looked at one another and sighed.
