The boy did beat her in a pretty epic, in her mind, duel. He was tougher than this. So in her most uncharacteristic move this year, Haddie stayed.

Of course that didn't exactly mean she was gonna let this continue. No way. No how. She marched up to him, towering over the sitting boy defiantly. "No." It was almost an order. "Nope. You are not throwing yourself a pity party. I won't allow it." Did her tone effectively convey that he didn't have a choice in that? She thought so. "Nor are you giving up." Haddie grabbed his arm and tugged, trying to drag Jaemin to his feet. "I'm not giving up, so you can't either. Okay, so you didn't get one today, but you will. You will have your niffler before you graduate Hogwarts! But only if you get up now and actually enjoy your birthday. You can't let setbacks ruin it for you, or you'll never get your niffler and never learn the patronus charm, or anything else."

She wasn't having luck dragging him to his feet. The least he could do was help her out a little by, you know, getting up himself. She was taller than him, and older than him by almost half a year. It shouldn't be this hard to drag him to his feet. She let go of his arm. "So you are gonna get up. Come on. You are gonna decide that nothing will stop you from getting a niffler. And we are gonna go and have fun on your birthday. Got it? Plus you know, my neighbor loves magical creatures and works with them. He wants of starting a rescue for hippopota-somethings... So he probably knows a way for you to get a niffler, but I'm not gonna ask if you don't get up and enjoy your birthday."
