Just show your maturity and your desire and they will notice." It was the only way the younger students would be able to prove themselves.

She giggled, "Well be on the look out for the new Witchy Ways Mystery by Kenya Riddle." she told Selena. She tilted her head to take in Selena's question. "Well just start writing. Sit down everyday and try to write a little bit. Start a journal." she suggested. "And keep an eye open for new positions at the quill. I think thats the name of school paper here." she said. She hoped that was the name. "If you are a muggleborn or a half and half there are a lot of summer camps for creative writing. My daughter Paris went to one a few years ago and she really liked it." It was a long shot if the girl was a pureblood, but it was worth a try regardless.
