Benevolence couldn't help but be amused by Charley's enthusiastic devouring of the cake, even with her muffled response. She watched as the young girl savored each bite, crumbs clinging to her face. Benevolence's heart warmed at the sight.
"I'm glad you're enjoying the cake, Charley," Benevolence remarked with a soft chuckle. As Charley mentioned her experience with Hogwarts, Benevolence's expression softened. She could sense the disappointment and bitterness in the young girl's voice - or perhaps that was her projecting all that she might have missed if she had not gone to Hogwarts. It pained her to think that Charley had been denied the opportunity to continue her magical education. However, Benevolence remained determined to find a way to support her in some capacity.
"I'm sorry to hear that Hogwarts didn't work out for you," Benevolence replied, her voice tinged with sympathy. "It's unfortunate that sometimes circumstances prevent us from pursuing certain paths. But don't let that define your worth or limit your potential, Charley."
Benevolence reached for a teapot and poured a fresh cup of tea for Charley, ensuring it was hot and steaming. She then sat down across from the young girl, her gaze filled with genuine concern.
"If Hogwarts didn't want you back, it's their loss," Benevolence said firmly. "Tell me, which house were you sorted into during your time at Hogwarts? And do you still have your wand? It's important to hold on to those connections, as they represent a part of who you are."
Benevolence knew that Charley might not have the same opportunities as other students, but she wanted to ensure that the young girl still felt valued and supported. She wanted to offer her a glimmer of hope and a chance to explore her magical potential in her own way.
"Mrs. Mann, the shop lady here, might be able to assist you with some practical magic lessons if you're interested," Benevolence suggested, her voice filled with encouragement. "While she may not be a professional duelist, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She has taught magic to many girls before, and perhaps she could help you further develop your abilities."
Benevolence topped up Charley's tea as requested, then leaned in slightly. "As for the job, it mostly involves fetching, carrying, making deliveries, and assisting in tending the plants in the greenhouse. Some of them can be rather dangerous, so we'll need to take precautions. But I promise you, Charley, your contribution will be valued and important. We'll work together and find a way to make it fulfilling for you."
