“See? No need to worry just yet. When winter begins to settle in, that’s when you’ll need to be very cautious.” Should they warn her about Bartholomew, the Giant Squid. Maybe Rowan didn’t know about him as yet but it could be a wonderful {or disastrous} situation should she come upon the Squid herself.

Oh, Dhruv suspected a ‘but’ was going to be joining those words. Wasn’t there usually one? They were most disappointed it was such a sad ‘but’. “Moving to someplace new is always difficult due to one reason or the other. Wanting to fit in and make friends is only natural. I know that can seem daunting.” Trust them, they would know. “My advice is to not force it. Attend our various club and extra curricular activities. Since they are less formal than classes, they are great places to get to know others. You can start with the Dueling Club, if you like. That’s headed up by myself and I usually pair students for the activities.”

Rowan sat down on a rock, allowing her legs to plunge deeper into the cool and calming waters. She made little circles with her feet as she listened to the Professor. “I will not be putting my legs in when the water begins to freeze.” She smiled softly.

She did happen to know about the squid, but had yet to see him – even with all the time she spent at the window in the Slytherin common room. She had to admit, that the idea of a giant squid living in the lake filled her with trepidation. Creatures wasn't her strong suit, despite owning a small cat (and her owl), she had a bit of a phobia of coming into contact with larger creatures.

She looked up at Professor Dhruv as they advised her in how to make the most of her time at Hogwarts and attempt to make a friendship circle. She nodded, a tight fleeting smile. It made her feel anxious getting stuck in there and being partnered with someone she didn't know.. But she had faced much bigger fears in her short life thus far, and forcing herself to do these things, and to experience, could only help her grow. “I'll be sure to be there.” She replied. “My father wouldn't be happy if I missed out on the Duelling Club.” She smiled genuinely. “I'm glad it's you at the helm.” She added honestly. Rowan could feel their compassion and felt relaxed around them.

“Did you always want to teach Defence Magic?” She asked with interest.
