Celestia nodded as Miss Queen stated that she'd try joining a club next year. Good. The professor certainly hoped that that would help the girl make more friends and beat back her homesickness in the future.

Meanwhile, most of her attention was obviously absorbed by the rest of the class. Many students were still hard at work, whether they were practicing individually -- like Miss Cambridge and Miss Swann -- or finishing up their duels. Celestia was most impressed with Miss Walsh's and Miss Kemp's duel; the girls both seemed to get better and better at each turn.

A short time later -- or so it seemed to Celestia -- the bell rang throughout the castle to signal the end of the lesson. Celestia turned back to her students and called, "Good work, everyone! I'll see you on Thursday!" Once her students began packing up and heading out of the room, Celestia approached Miss Walsh and Miss Kemp directly. "Very well done today, girls. Take ten points for Hufflepuff for your hard work and positive attitudes during your duel!"
