I noticed the way you'd seated everyone, and I just thought that I should to go with the rest of the halfblooded students. After all, we do have a defined role in society.
And when you asked if I'd rather take a place closer to the fire, I saw that there were lots of students who were worse off than I was, so I figured I'd give someone else a chance to warm up. Especially since you made it clear that casting warming charms would've been a distraction during your debriefing. Healer Kerr's assistant was so particular about whether we'd used drying charms or towels after the lake that there were several people who might've thought they shouldn't use them, because they were still obviously very wet and cold, and that would've made it hard for them to pay full attention to your inspiring speech.
Which would've been such a shame.
I'm confused about why you thought I might want to keep my reasons private, though. I certainly wish to demonstrate the very best of the Protectorate’s welcoming and affirming ideas, and I tried to act in the spirit of the YPL anthem.
