SPOILER!!: Just...<3

"Did she really? Impressive." Very impressive. "You just make sure you tell someone what foolish thing you are going to pull before you do it, okay? And make sure you have some good padding on too. And know some sheild spells and charms."

Was he encouraging? Maybe. But again, if she was going to do it, she was going to do it. Best to let a child know how to safely do something, than have them get hurt by not thinking of some important safety issue. Riding the whomping willow though? The kid had guts.

"Sounds like you've got some good practice going there. You'll be a little ninja in no time." And possibly a right terror to deal with, but he left that unsaid. For now, as Defense Professor, he was merely encouraging her practice of survival and evasive techniques. "At least I won't have to worry about getting you back out of this then."

As in, he wouldn't have to blow up the dragon statue just to save her. It would be a right pity.

Grinning at the girl's whooping and her return comment about her weight, Sabel shook his head and made sure to steady himself. Especially since she seemed taken to climbing up right onto his shoulders. He made sure to keep his hands on her feet, steadying her. "What? Twelve?! Surely not. You can't be a day over ten!"

Tilting his head back, he grinned up at the child. "Treasure? Aren't children treasure? I swear I heard that somewhere..." From his wife most likely, but at the moment that was besides the point.

And then his grin faded to a flat expression. Really? Really. She wasn't the first student to put forth such a sound argument, nor did he think she'd be the last. "True enough point. But chocolate is a tool. Not something to rely on. I want you all to get used to relying on different things, when you are defending yourselves. Allowing chocolate would give too constant a tool, and you'd get used to it."

Did it make sense? Would she understand? Or would she come up with a brilliant counter argument? Maybe stuffing her inside a dragon wasn't a bad idea after all. Would at least prevent her from starting a revolution on the chocolate front.

Not yet though, she didn't know the spell to stop the tree from whomping long enough to saddle up a branch yet. But it was on the list. "Mostly just trees and walls and things like that. My cousins showed me how to climb walls and doorframes and inside things." It didn't occur to her to keep silent about these things, because it was ~~professor~~ Sabel Dakest, amd she had always found, of all parent people that she knew, he was the most reasonable about important things. Char clinged a bit at the near-fall but also whooped in enjoyment because BAHAHA how funny if he fell over right? It would be. "No stones, but I AM twelve now." So. That was probably why she was super heavy now. WAY heavier than she had been at eleven, back at the start of December. Char stretched up a bit to grab towards the mouth but couldn't quite reach. The boost would have to be a bit more boost-y. She'd have to climb him first. His shoulders looked strong enough though, so she started scrabbling up a bit higher. "Not children, TREASURE!" Probably. He had some right? Aurors probably found a ton of that, maybe even more than pirates. She stretched up a bit more, listening about the chocolate (multitasking). "Well chocolate tastes good and everything but I wasn't asking because I want some, I was asking because its Defense Against the Dark Arts, and chocolate IS defense against SOME dark arts, like to recover from attacks by mood-altering dark creatures like dementors and pogrebins, right?" So that was why she was asking, because it just struck her as a curious thing to be banned in a class like this one. "Did she really? Impressive." Very impressive.
