Okay, so...Sophie sort of felt out of place, like she'd ended up in here by accident alone. However, she just couldn't bring herself to get up and leave. Number one, it might be considered rude, and with this many adults in here and her being the only kid, she was seriously outnumbered. Then two--who got to sit in on a meeting in the HEADMISTRESS' OFFICE?!

Sophie Newell, that's who.

So this little second year snake wasn't moving. She felt important. Hmph. She WAS important. Who was she kidding? She was AWESOME, and this just proved that everybody thought so!

She stood back and followed along, all the while secretly pretending she was someone like the Minister of Magic or a member of the Wizengamot. She banged an imaginary gavel in her head. Order in the courtroom!

Then Healer Tillstorm asked a question, obviously to the adults, but--...but! AHEM. Sophie raised her hand like she was in class. She was taking to the Governors, but...Sophie had IDEAS. Pick me, pick me!
