She offered a smile to let her know that she understood and then added, "Believe in yourself, Sophie. Like I believe in you."
Sophie was a bit startled by the the force in Madam Kimber's voice. She wasn't thinking about sitting the OWL's. The prefect was more stressed about which OWL's to take.
"Um, Madam I am going to sit my O.W.L's you don't need to worry. What is making me uncertain is if i should sit all of them. I am to put it mildly dreadful in potions making."
Smiling up at her head of house she said with warmth.
"I will believe in myself and make you proud. Has Arabella-Marie been to see you?" The prefect hoped that the second year had since worrying didn't do anyone any good.
