See, she already had some ideas. "Oh yeah, someone did say that she founded Ilvermorny," he remembered from the class discussion. He never would have remembered her first name though, but he wrote that down in his notes now since they probably needed that. He squinted up at the board where Recard wrote down the events. "That's the IMPS competition, right?" It sounded kind of familiar, but kind of before his time. And then he paused to consider Phoebe's thoughts about how old Isolt might have felt about it.

"Do you think so? What if she was super competitive and an old battleax who thought her school was the best, and she was more like, 'We're going to kick your butts, Hogwarts!' And then maybe one of her distant cousins from Hogwarts was like, 'No, we're going to kick your butts!' And then it started some big family feud because the whole family is competitive and just generally thinks they're the best." Yep, sounded pretty on brand to him.
"Oh!" Phoebe dropped her chin onto her fist and gave that scenario a very serious think. Well, somewhat serious, since this entire conversation was tinged in an air of flirtation. Morgan was cute, okay? He was cute and she liked flirting with him, even if they were supposed to be doing classwork.

"I like this idea very much. Competitive. Ferocious. Not a protective mother, but a proud one. Or both, you can be both." Phoebe bit on the edge of her thumb thoughtfully. "She was a pureblood and from a family of bigots, but her aunt murdered her parents and was terribly cruel. She wouldn't have had any reason to feel loyal to England or to where she came from. She'd be proud of the distance she created, of how she separated Ilvermornay from the shackles of the world she came from. So I think you're exactly right. Should we act it out?"
