You know, politely, unlike his... sister? Sister. Char didn't know how to respond to his suggestion but she did smile thankfully. Especially at his offer of help.

"Thanks." She said quietly. Really. "Henry would appreciate knowing that people are looking for him." And she obviously did.




Wait... what?

Her?

Charlotte blinked in confusion.

"I'm not rude." What a rude and mean thing to say. Wait... had the girl been talking to her before? None of those names had been hers, and she'd been crying.

"I'm Charlotte Kettleburn... I don't know why you're being rude right now, but please stop." She didn't have time for it, and she was still upset and had to find her friend.



..... points? Char didn't care about those. She just wanted her friend back. Like now. And a rewind to not ruin his birthday. Char was pretty sure that wherever Henry was, it wasn't good. The kitten in her arm squirmed and mewed again and she cradled it carefully.

Charlotte wasn't completely sure why the rude mean girl wasn't losing points right away, but she didn't really want to think about that, plus it wouldn't be fair because probably a girl like that had no interest in earning any points lost back, so it wouldn't be fair for Hufflepuff, but she DID speak up when the professor asked the girl to join them.

"I don't want someone rude and mean to come with us, sir. Not unless she apologizes and promises not to be selfish - we have to find Henry, its not about her." Because you had to stick up for yourself sometimes.

And also...

"Can I go change?" A dress was probably not the best for the search they needed to do, and she needed to be prepared. "And put the kitten somewhere safe? And get my holster. I'll be really quick. We could meet somewhere." And also, she wouldn't mind splashing her face with water, tying her hair back, and getting her game face on. She would search for as long as it took, so she had to get search-ready.
It was all Gaston could do not to nod along with everything Miss Ketleburn said to Miss Kenning. He had a mind to award her more house points for standing up for herself, but he he decided against it. That would seem like blatant favoritism, and that wouldn't be professional.

He blinked a couple of times in confusion when she said she didn't want the other girl to search with them, He couldn't say he blamed her for it but... now what was he supposed to do? He didn't want Charlotte upset, but it seemed unfair to uninvite her. Then he got an idea. "Okay, we'll split up," he said. "Mr. Kenning - and Miss Kenning, if you're interested - could you please search for Henry outside? Miss Kettleburn and I will take the castle."

The professor headed for the door but stopped and wheeled around at the sound of Miss Kettleburn's voice. He was a little taken aback by the question, but the girl did have a point. "Yes, of course," he said. "Take all the time you need." But where should they meet up? Aha, he had an idea! "Shall we start with the dungeons and work out way up?" Made sense, right? Already drawing his wand, he rushed out the door so he could be waiting for Miss Kettleburn in the dungeon when she was ready. He momentarily loked back and gave the girl an encouraging smile. "Don't worry; we'll turn the eintire castle upside-down if we have to!"
