 Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB
Having filled out his name tag, although of course the professor already knew who he was, David leaned back on his hands and looked around thoughtfully as his classmates gave answers. These answers were interestingly very indicative of their individual personalities. Oh, and Dueling Club WOULD be back? Alright. He'd been torn on whether he wanted it back or not, and ultimately reasoned that dueling would be a useful skill to learn... not to mention something his parents would expect of him...
Anyway. The twelve-year-old eventually raised his hand to answer when it was his turn. "I would do what Daxton Prince is doing." Why this kid, you may ask? Other than the boy's INNATE NONHUMAN ABILITIES due to his being half-goblin, he was remaining quiet, perceptive, and... maybe a little bit defensive, what with that knees-to-chest bit he had going on. But David didn't say all that aloud, mostly because his goblin theory wasn't ready to go public yet although he was still watching the kid. What? Prince livened up the lessons sometimes.
"I mean," the spectacled boy tore his eyes away from studying his dormmate, "I would get into some sort of defensive position, perhaps behind a rock as Ariadne mentioned, and quickly analyze what I could of the situation. Is there an easy way to escape? Some kind of weapon to utilize against them? An easily discernible weakness of theirs which I could manipulate to my advantage? Could I talk or reason my way out of things, to prevent their attack entirely? Is this conflict avoidable by any chance?"
Davie certainly wouldn't attack first, nor would he attempt wandless magic nor apparition because he wasn't even sure of his older classmates' abilities to do any of that. And who was to say his house elf would come on command? Pinky was loyal to his mother, first of all, not to him. Not really. He certainly didn't let Davie get away with keeping spare chocolate frogs under his pillow. So it was best to act defensively, in his opinion, in this hypothetical scenario which seemed to be primed to garner some sort of telling response out of them, particularly since it didn't have many details. Hem hem. We're on to you, Professor Hirsch.
