I can guarantee that you’ll see an improvement to not only your spell casting and magical defensive skills, but also your confidence.” There was nothing wrong with playing it safe with Art Club and Reading Club, of course. “You’ll at least think about joining?’’ Dhruv added gently.

Put her in det- oh.

Their face fell slightly but it was quickly hitched up, keeping a slightly forced smile in place. Ouch. It hurt to be reminded that they were a meanie last year. “I wouldn’t throw you into detention for that. I’d have a stern talk to you if the posters were inappropriate but that’s about it.” Accepting the poster from Phoebe, Dhruv looked it over, registering the information there. “That’s… sad.” They felt the Hufflepuff’s pain and immediately wanted to help. “Is she the same age as you? If not, do you know her age, exact or approximate?”


Despite her initial lack of interest for joining any clubs at all, Professor Khanna made some annoyingly good points and Phoebe was slightly interested. Dueling and jiu jitsu could make a good combo of interests. "I guess you're right... Do you think I could make friends in dueling club?" She might join a meeting or two, but she didn't want to go if everyone there hated her and wanted to hex her or turn her into a frog, okay? It was unclear where she'd gotten that idea, but she was a big worrier. She most likely made it up all by herself, but it COULD happen.

Phoebe relaxed just a little, feeling bad that she was judging Professor Khanna when they were only being nice to her. "...It's not sad, I'm fine. It's whatever, probably nobody will reply and I'll never find her." AKA Phoebe was really sad about this and was hoping that somebody would know something about where her friend went. Um... "Her name is Aaliyah and she's my age. And she has dark skin, hair, and eyes. Um, and she really smiled a lot but I don't know, maybe she doesn't smile anymore times. Um, and my friend's sibling said that she may sort of look like this sketch on the poster now, but I'm not really sure. And-" Phoebe perked up, feeling encouraged by this next tidbit. "She really liked rocks and dinosaurs. That's important, right?" Phoebe felt that Aaliyah probably still really liked rocks and dinosaurs, and that that might help find her.

...maybe. "Also she's a pureblood, like me. So that's why I thought she might go here or to another wizarding school."
