 ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
Joel didn't want to seem rude or to hurt her feelings, really. He just... didn't think that it was very possible for the Fat Lady to remember a Head Boy from some 30 years ago. But it wasn't his idea in the first place, and she looked enthusiastic about it, so he just said "Sure." He hoped that she would get at least something from asking about him. "Let me know, yeah?" He was curious about just how memorable her dad was, and/or how good Fat Lady's memory was.
Hmm... he considered that for a moment. "What does a detention even involve"? he asked in the end, because... he kept hearing the word, but he had no idea what it meant. Maybe this was a question more suited for his big sister, but she probably knew this already and if her Hufflepuff brain figured it was a risk worth taking, it couldn't be that bad, right?
