I mean. My brother Harry said I had to have performed magic. How else could I have avoided breaking my neck. My brother dropped me out of his second story window.

Then I couldn't do the Cruciatus Curse in DADA class. Professor Duskurk said it would be next to impossible for any of us to do the curse properly, but I couldn't even get the spider to twitch one of his legs... Of course I didn't want to hurt the spider. I don't like spiders, but I've never deliberately hurt one. I usually get my mom or dad to squish them for me. I'm just afraid I'm not going to be able to do any magic in your class."

EGAD!!! JD's Eyebrows shot up so high they DISAPPEARED into his hair.

Duskirk was teaching the Cruciatus curse? To FIRSTIES?

"Twisted Old Coot," JD muttered under his breath before remembering there was in fact a child in his presence. A child that needed his reassurance!!

"If you aren't really magical, I don't think you'd have gotten past the sorting," JD told the child, "Unless someone confunded the sorting hat, in which case all the first years and transfers would need to be resorted and you'd of course be expelled, your wand snapped, and a formal inquiry -" Hmmmm.... not reassurring.

Let's try again.

"But that is HIGHLY unlikely. Like your brother," (who, by the sounds of it, is slightly dangerous,) "said, if you got dropped out of a window without injury, there has got to be some magic to you we can build off of. You just have to put some effort into it."

JD smiled widely and what he hoped was reassuringly at her.

Big reassuring grin.
